anam cara

So I don't know what is going on, but I'm in a damn good mood right now. I had to get up early today for a doctor's appointment, but it went well. I wasn't happy with the doctor I had chosen before so I had to look up another in the same area that took my insurance and was accepting new patients. Knowing nothing about who I was getting, I picked a name and made an appointment. I wish I had done that ages ago (you know, since I won't have a job or insurance in about a week). My previous doctor didn't really listen to what I was telling him and I felt like he was very dismissive. New doctor listened, took me seriously, I had blood drawn and tomorrow morning I have to call to set up an ultrasound. Unfortunately if there IS something, I won't have enough time to really do anything about it, but at least I can know one way or another? I don't know, but I definitely like this doctor A LOT better.

I listened to a new podfic on the way to the hospital. Had time to finish it and everything! Great story by messageredacted and great reading by pandarus. After the appointment (they took my blooooood), my mom was actually able to pick me up and drop me off at work saving me time and money (didn't have to wait/pay for bus). I got Quinos for lunch but still had time to kill so I went into Spirit (the Halloween store) and bought a fake black rose, a creepy laughing pumpkin keychain, and these awesome earrings.

Work was whatever.

PS What's with the new profile? Do not want.

ETA: For what it's worth, I complained about the new profile page here. In like an 1.5 hours, there are now 32 pages of comments. Here's my comment.

(Thank you mrowrr for the link)

ETA 2: I completely forgot about the communities. That's even worse. Especially for people who are just joining LJ. You know, honestly, if the profiles and such looked like this when I was thinking about joining, I'm not sure I would have. They seem very confusing and intimidating. Bad move, LJ. Bad move.
