Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Went to clinic. Cholesterol too high. New prescriptions. Maryland Pharmacy Assistance still has odd notions about what to cover and making doctors arm-wrestle them over Zyrtec. Am painfully exhausted (more from the extremely draining waiting room than by anything else about the day, but the net result is that I'm so tired trying to do anything makes me feel like crying and my brain is working at half speed and missing some of its nouns -- I probably sound like a halfwit right now when speaking). Hoping I can pull myself together / catch a second wind over the next few hours so I can get to practice tonight. We have a gig coming up and I really need to get to rehearsal.

Was seen by somebody new today -- quickly acquainted herself with my chart, asked me useful questions, seems as competent (and friendly) as the others there. I probably didn't make a great impression, since by then I was already awfully damn tired.

Finally got toilet repaired with borrowed tools. Didn't expect to need to read directions to lossen a single nut (it's reverse threaded and I'm only half-awake). Am missing FOUR pairs of pliers, three of which would have worked here. Can't remember using three of those pairs since my last "find all my tools and put them in one place" roundup, and given the timing of their dissapearrance (before Pennsic) the only possible answer is that Perrine was breaking into my toolbox and carrying them off to some hiding place in June or July.

Setting alarms for 19:00 and closing my eyes now.
