Ugh. I left the house for my doctor's appointment just before 10. Stopped at the McDonald's at the transfer point between buses for breakfast and there were so many rowdy kids. This proved to be a theme.

The second bus had a detour, so I had a long walk to the office. When I got there, a nurse took my vitals and told me the computers were running slow so it might take a while before they got to me. I don't know how long they left me to cool my heels after that but it was at least half an hour, maybe an hour, before they told me the computers were completely down and I wouldn't get to see the doctor and they couldn't even make a new appointment. I wanted to yell and cry but I just navigated the two buses home. It was after 1 when I stumbled in.



My "baby" brother has big news - his summer internship at a museum in Martha's Vineyard lead to a job offer in Anchorage! So he is moving to Alaska next month. I don't know if he intends to put down roots, but it is exciting for him and I am proud in my distant way.

Ugh, that totally sucks about your doctor's appointment! All that fuss for nothing! And, ugh, rowdy kids. It's like, I totally get not wanting to be a parent, okay--- but that should mean that you don't have kids, you know, as opposed to having them and then just not being a parent anyway. /snark

But yay for baby bro!

I'm freaking exhausted. We have a severe heat advisory in my area so walking to various bus stops and sitting waiting for the bus (and of the four stops I have to wait at on the trip to and from the doctor's office, only two have shade) is not pleasant.


Oh man at the McDonald's there were a couple of moms and their combined kids eating together, spread across two booths, one for the moms and tiniest kids and one with a bunch of under-tens, who were also running in the aisle playing some kind of tag that involved taking off shoes. At one point an employee came over and handed out activity booklets to the kids and the moms took them to save for later. Bloody hell.


I wonder how my dad feels about baby bro going to Alaska. Both his kids will be far away!
