I have been missing from this site for most of the week because I have not been feeling well.  A number of things have hit me at one time including a urinary tract infection.  I have had them before so I know what to expect.   Yesterday I went to see my doctor.  What I thought was going to be the usual brief checkup somehow managed to turn into a five-hour visit.  The doctor says that my home health care agency is not giving me the proper care that I need, and that has caused some of my medical problems.  After being worked on for nearly five hours, I came home in an extremely bad mood.  To top things off, my doctor sent an order to the agency for a nurse to come visit me last night at ten and do some type of procedure.  I somehow managed to fall asleep while she was here working on me.   While I was there, I decided to have a flu shot.  That was something I had always managed to avoid doing.  If I get the flu, at least I can blame my doctor and my sister.   I decided to stay home today to work on my bankbook and bills.  This has not been very much fun.  It has ruined most of my day.   My sister wanted me to go shopping with her and look at some cell phones to see if I would want one.  Because of not feeling good, I managed to put her off until Wednesday.  I still have not talked myself into getting one.  I can think of a million other ways to spend my money.  If I know my sister, she will pester me until I get one.   Quotes for Attitude: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” William James
