Argh. In a medical way

My current, soon to be ex, doctor, is an idiot. Never mind he can never remember what it is I have, he finds ways to annoy me that are beyond belief.

I'm on California disability because I can't work. This is because I average one seizure a month, and get sick a lot. I also have no energy, and doing an eight-hour day would most likely cause me to seize, get sick, and fall down a great deal. This is a Bad Thing.

So what does this moron do? He keeps extending my disability for one month at a time. Do he think I'm going to suddenly regenerate brain tissue that was traumatized eight years ago? The man has spent barely ten minutes with me, and I've explained over and over how we need this until I hear from SSA.. but he keeps doing this!

So I dropped off my latest paperwork with a letter asking for an extension of several months so I can get set up with a new doctor down in San Jose. The next day I get a call from his equally brain-dead nurse. He's extending my disability to fucking May 7th.

This means that I have to find a new doctor immediately, see him within days of moving, and make him understand that I'm a cancer survivor with a raft of problems. Pisses me the hell off.

Wow. A quick trick to Tau Ceti anyone?

I found a great freeware astronomy program called Celestia. This thing gives you first-person views of stars, planets, even asteroids as you fly through the solar system (and to other stars as well.)

It's a big download, took me half an hour on our dial up connection, but well worth it. From what I saw it works on most platforms.

And away we go!

Hell Week before the move has begun! I am dedicated! I am psyched! I am ready to ravage the apartment the way my ancestors ravaged Ireland and England (going in both directions.. My lineage is from both places, which makes St. Paddy's Day confusing at least.)

Today, the Office! Tomorrow, the Bedroom!
