the times of kryptoniteglows

Fuck! That’s all I gotta to say about my roth IRA…  I don’t even get the benefit of using the loss to offset my taxes

Went to the store for like one thing, some ricotta cheese so I can make a lasagna.  An hour later, I leave with $50 worth of groceries.  The cheese was like $7 of that though.  And it would have just been under $50 if I had remember to peel off the stupid coupon on my potato bread, doh!

I did sorta get some free pizza/pie at the new Home Depot and I bought a new microwave to replace my busted one that my dad “fixed”.  I also won a lunch bag at their plinko game, I’m not sure if win was really the right term though.  All the slots had prizes, heh.  It’s a nice lunch bag for a freebie so I’m happy :).

Seriously wtf is wrong with people?

I go to the 9:20 PM showing of the tomb of the dragon emperor and halfway through the movie,  some baby is crying!  Why in the world would you bring your baby to the movies, especially that late at night?

I’m going to get a lawn boy… Got a blister while mowing the lawn that turned into this.

Now I’m getting new little bumps so I figured it was time to see the doctor. Not having insurance until the pass few years, I didn’t have a primary care physician or whatever people have as regular doctors.

Anyhow, find one via the web, sorta… I used the insurance company’s search and cross referranced with ratemd.com. Unfortunately I ended up seeing a different doctor than I wanted but from the same practice…

So $10 copay to see them and over an hour of waiting to see the doctor for like 10 minutes. They prescribed an antibiotic and steroid like I figured they would. And they make a referral to a dermatologist because she didn’t actually know what was wrong with me or I guess a cover my bases/ass type of thing. Basically a waste of time and money, even if only $10.

Well, luckily the dermatologist appointment was for an hour later (it’s about noon by the time I leave from the 10:30 AM appointment, the dermatologist appointment is at 1PM). I didn’t know where it was, so I figured I would go home and get some lunch along with the directions. I pass by Trabant on the way home since the doctor was on Main St, so I figured I could get lunch there and directions via my IPhone over the wifi. I would of had my GPS, but had to go go some place in Philly with my dad so I left it in my laptop bag….

The map feature of the Iphone is nice and can relatively triangulate where you are well. Only caveat for me is that I need a wifi connection (hence the stopping at Trabant) to download the maps since data doesn’t work on my T-Mobile service(among other things…). It takes some fiddling, but I get directions. So this takes me 31 minutes in the parking garage next to Trabant and they charge $1.20 for that 31 minutes!

I get to the dermatologist office and have to wait 40 minutes to see the doctor.

The dermatologist office is also for plastic surgery place, so their waiting room ads are funny.

For some reason the botox lady’s pictures are taken at “maximum frown”, I mean who goes around with that face? So I guess after botox, she can’t make frowny faces anymore? And then the hair ad to the right, I’m not even sure if the pictures are suppose to represent before and after shots, since they don’t even look like same dude’s head.

After the 40 minute wait, I see the doctor for 5 minutes if that. He comes to the conclusion I’m allergic to Neosporin and gives me some other stuff to use. At least he gave me some sample tubes so I didn’t need to get another prescription, but the visit cost me $20.

So this day breaks down to

Regular Doctor Visit $10
Specialist visit $20
Prescriptions $17.14
Total $47.14 and I still don’t know if my thumb has an actual infection or not!

I shamefully have an 8 GB iPhone, but I just bought a 16 GB iPhone just because it’s bigger… The thing is that my entire music library is less than 6 GB….

To my credit, it was much larger then my 400 GB drive decided to die :(. My laptop hard drive also died this year, aren’t I just so magnetic

Graduation is next week, I won’t be going be going though. Not much reason to deal with the crazy crowd when I don’t have to ;).

EDIT: I don’t know why a period and question mark made a smiley, but the winking one at the end there didn’t become one…
