Continuing with the "get icky stuff done" sort of week.

"Go to Health Service, to get a recurrent annoying-but-minor dermatological issue dealt with."

Saw my current favorite doc, got the 'script, found out Health Service no longer carries that medicine and I have to either wait for them to order it or go somewhere else.  Humph!

At least the weather was nice. Warm enough to walk with my coat open!

Then when I got home, I took the dog to the vet.

Two days after his annual check-up, I found a small bump on the back of his neck. (Naturally, I didn't find it two days *before* his check-up.....)

I found the bump at home, I found the bump in the lobby at the vet, I found the bump in the exam room.

I could not find the bump when the doc joined us in the exam room.

Nor could she.

Nor could the vet-student-intern who was following her around.

We looked for some time. Then the vet described for me the kind of bump we'd be concerned about, and sent me home.

Feeling like a total idiot.......................................

Sigh.

At least they know me there, and know I'm not a complete moron.




I dropped the dog at home, and went back out to the pharmacy. (Call me paranoid, if you like, I really don't like leaving the dog alone in the car.  He was crated; I wasn't worried about the car, but don't trust what people might do........  There are many advantages to living one (1) mile from the vet, one (1) mile from a pharmacy, one (1) mile from the library, one and a half (1.5) miles from work......)




We had another lovely dinner, comprised in part of roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes.  We ate most of what was left of the cake.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
