At work they regularly do fun little challenges for employees. This month they are doing puzzles. There is a crossword, maze, word search and rebus. I printed them out to do them and was on the rebus puzzles and got stuck on one.

My craziness.
I told you that I've been working on Christmas already. I actually started it right after Christmas last year. The plan was to just buy one gift per person each month. We are currently on month 5 and I now have 8 gifts for everyone.
When I get them, I wrap them and put them in the appropriate tote, I bought extra large gift bags that will hold all the gifts.
They are currently just sitting on the bench in my dining area
None of the gifts are marked as to who they are for but I know exactly who's bag is who's so that's all that matters. I suppose since I already have 8 I could stop at any time. Will I? Who knows. I may end up with more gifts than I can fit in the bags. This might be a little much but for this year, I'm having fun with it. None of the gifts are very expensive. I just see things and think, I'm getting that for so and so. There are even a few hand made gifts in there.Like a lamb to the slaughter
I needed some hamburger and went to the store that I used to work at. I should have known better. They rarely have what I want and lately the meat case has looked pitiful. I wanted burger so I could make some meatballs and some taco meat so I was looking for about 3 pounds. They had exactly 2 packs of burger and neither one looked very good.
I asked if there was anyone in the meat department. The deli girl went and looked and walked out with one, one pound pack of burger. She said he was working on it then. She asked if this was enough.
I looked at the burger in the pack and thought, no way is that extra lean. I even said it out loud but she made no attempt to go check to see if it was correct. I wish I would have taken a picture of the raw burger but I didn't think of it. Plus it wasn't close to how much I wanted. Against my better judgement I bought it.I knew when I was cooking it that it wasn't extra lean. There was way too much grease in it.

Update
Not sure if I posted about the doctor calling me on a Saturday evening to give me results about my CT scan or not. I think I did but we'll start from there.
I got a text from Walmart that the prescriptions were in. With all the meds I'm taking now I feel like I could open my own pharmacy
I got a letter in the mail saying that my insurance claim was denied for the CT scan because there was no pre-authorization. Now I need to call the doctors office and see if they will resubmit that so that the insurance company will pay for it. I believe the bill for that was over $3000.
The hospital called and scheduled my cathetarization for May 18th. I need to go get blood work done before that so I also need the doctors office to send an order for that. I think I can get it done at a place not far from work and that way I can just go in a little late.
And that's where I'm sitting right now. Amanda did say she would drive me the day I have the cathetarization done. We shall see if it'll be a one day thing or an overnight stay.
