Blogging on the Block Day 4

Today was a very long day. Very draining on my mind. I did get a walk in this morning. I walked out in the fields and found the new calf beside the hay feeders. Cute little thing, not sure if its a he or a she, since it was laying down. Its a deep brown with a white face. The first calf born, Christmas eve, was a brown grey, he thinks he's a big cow and chases the dogs.

I hate sitting in doctor's offices, and that's what we did this afternoon. It was a scheduled visit, and it wasn't as long as some have been in the past.

Before we left I got to hear all morning the same things over and over again. I know she can't help it, but after she tells you for the 100th time that she doesn't know what makes her so nervous and could she have something to settle her nerves. Believe me she takes enough to put a horse down for a week. I can't trust her to fix her own pill box, so I have to do it. I double check it every morning because she hordes pills and then claims it wasn't in there. She's very good at palming the pills too, and she can be very tricky with it. Today was one of those days where she tried all her tricks. She also put on a good show at the doctor's office too. Thankfully they all know how she can be and they humored her very well.

She did pull a new one today, but the doctor wasn't at all fooled. He very calmly explained her meds to her one at a time. She got bored and changed the subject. It didn't even phase him, he just smiled at me and winked.

She also got pouty before dinner. While I was cooking she wanted to fix her coffee pot, and since I was washing dishes as I went she stomped off to her room in protest. She didn't come out until dinner was done and my son went back and told her to come eat. When she did come into the kitchen my bestfriend came in and she had to have her undivided attention. This is when she ignores me completely or tells me to shut up she isn't talking to me. When she first started this trick it would hurt my feeling terrible, now I just ignore it and carry on. Tonight was not exception, she ignored me and didn't like it when Tam spoke to me. She finally hurried up with her dinner and went back to her room to pout again.

She did get over it quickly and came out to visit with us, very politely, and was fine for about an hour after Tam left. Then when I sat down at the computer to check my email she suddenly had to use the phone. She called everyone she could think of to tell them how dumb her doctor is and how she was going to find another one. I'm used to that too, she's been saying that for 3 years, I have no fear. She doesn't want another doctor, she just wants something to complain about.

Anyway, all is quiet now, and I'm gonna check my email and go to bed. Goodnight out there, I hope you had a great day.
