House Call

March 16th, 2021 at 03:31 pm

Yesterday was my house call from UnitedHealthcare.  Ironically, it was a snowy day.  That's ironic because I cancelled twice previously due to bad weather.  I guess bad weather just couldn't be avoided.  It didn't affect me, but I hated to be forcing the nurse-practitioner out in such weather.  She didn't seem to mind, though she was glad I was her last patient.

All the tests were good, and I was declared healthy, though it was hinted that I should lose weight.  Yes, I knew that.  I've wanted to lose weight my whole life (except childhood) but at this point in my life I have accepted that I will never be able to do that, and I am just concentrating now on eating healthy.  Dieting makes me physically and mentally miserable.

I will get  a $15 gift card (Visa, I think) in the mail some time in the next six weeks.  She also left me some coasters with UnitedHealthcare plastered on them.  I doubt that I will use them, as I already have more decorative ones, but whatever.  Kind of reminds me of being in fundraising -- we were always giving junk to donors that they didn't want.

I looked it up, and I'm scheduled to get my stimulus payment tomorrow.  Feeling rich, I impulsively ordered a book from Amazon that I saw advertised on Today -- "The Call to Unite."  It looks like it will be the kind of inspirational reading that I like to keep around.  The book was $24.  Variables are at 56%.

My original plan was to go to Aldi today, but I'm going to wait another day in hopes that the snow melts, and I won't have to clean off the car.  I will do some laundry today, though.

    I’m glad your test results were good. You may want to check out weight watchers, it made a difference for me

    I am with you CB on dieting. I just don't do it anymore. I eat healthy foods that I enjoy and watch my portions, but I also don't totally deprive myself if I want something not so good for me every so often. It's all about common sense and balance for me.
