So we had our medicals done on Friday.
Not much of a medical, really. More like can you sit, stand, walk, lift and drive.
So can I function as a person? Why yes I can, thanks for asking.
Getting it was a bit of a shit show. Drew and I haven't had a doctor since we left Ottawa, oh how I miss Doctor Jody, boo hoo. :)
Without a doctor you must rely on a walk in clinic. Finding a clinic isn't an issue as there seems to one on ever corner in this city.
The first clinic said, because we have never seen you we would need all of your records transferred here from your last doctor. Which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that it had to be a minimum of 5 pages at $35 a page. Plus the $80 fee for the actually signing of the paper. No, we don't have time for that and you are a thief (don't worry the thief part was only said in my head).
Since we had to go to Sears to look for boots for Drew I figured we'd try another one over at that end of town.
Clinic number two, sure we can do it right now, please hand over $180 each. I nearly fell over, WHAT? No thank you. The company does pay back the cost of the medical, but I couldn't justify paying someone a crazy amount of money.
Clinic number three, at this point it felt like I had spent 6 years at university and could have signed the paper myself.
Sure we can do that for you, it will be $60 each. I almost kissed the receptionist. Ironically it was the clinic 50 feet from where we live and where we had intended to go in the first place. Moral of the story, just go with your gut. If you didn't already know this, anything that you pay cash for at the doctors office appears to go directly into the doctors pocket. Kinda shady really for the one that was going to charge $180 to answer two questions.
Still looking for a kennel to fly Tia in and still waiting for an actual solid date of fly out, hopefully we will have both by end of day tomorrow.
Tia has a vet appointment on Wednesday, she's informed me that they have cookies there so it's a great place. I didn't have the heart to tell her that there will be needles.
Drew's fancy new rated to -60 steel toed boots, they were $50 off. A great deal.
They don't have pink on them the camera did something weird to the picture.
This was my sewing/craft area, haha.
Somehow I am under the delusion that I will be able to fit most of this in two large rubbermaid bins,
more hahaha's
