Sanity check, y'all.So I prepared an activity for my 3rd graders (that they're actually into in this post-exam apocalypse!). I get a message this morning about a ppt I "can" use for them because my activity is too hard. The ppt is some garbage where like, you write how down how many puppies you think there are in heaven or whatever and then gasp! there's a reveal slide at the end that tells you what your number means. I'm not doing that. The way I see it, I have an activity the kids enjoy. I have no help in the classroom anyway so I don't even trust I can hold their attention through 30 slides of utter tripe. Tripe I don't even believe in. So I say, "I prefer ACTIVITY X and have already prepared the materials but thanks for the suggestion!" and I'm leaving it at that.Am I being a big fat lame?
My trip to the doctor yesterday wasn't terribly successful. It was also rather alarming because my blood pressure was MUCH higher than usual when it was measured. I keep a very close eye on my blood pressure because my dad has hypertension.Anyways, I went to a proper hospital and they had me seen by an internal medicine doctor. I explained my symptoms, and after crossing possible causes like pregnancy and traumatic head injury off the list, he decided to treat me for... acid reflux. I explained that I know what acid reflux feels like, and this is definitely not it, and that my nausea is head nausea not stomach nausea, but he was not moved. He simply said "I'm an internal medicine doctor, so I'm going to treat you for acid reflux. If you don't feel better in three days I'll refer you to a neurologist for an MRI"*sigh*When I looked up the meds he gave me though, one of them was dramamine, so hopefully that at least is moderately helpful. He also gave me acid reflux medication and.... some kind of herbal mugwort pill?? Whatever.

In some ways it is excellent, in others awful.So many doctors here have this way of fixating on one symptom or one diagnosis, when it clearly isn't that thing. You really have to push for the tests that you want, otherwise you'll get stuck in the "come back in 3 days" cycle forever.Have you had full blood tests/urine test?

If you already have online banking, setting it up on your phone takes like 15 minutes max and you don't have to install all the junk that you do on a PC. Also, online banking isn't really that hard.

I'm sure this is terribly selfish, but the yearly ice skating rink at City Hall has been cancelled because of the presidential protests and I'm so irritated! I always look forward to it and I was going to take my bf this year but now that plan is down the drain. I know there is the Lotte World rink, but it's far away and way more expensive.
The first year I went in and the doctor took my BP and it was high. Like 50 year old man smoking 5 packs of cigs a day high,Walk outside, check on the machine. Totally normal.Whatever.Go back the next year, exact same doctor. She gave me a blood pressure of 180/160 which is 'you're heart is currently exploding please proceed directly to the morgue' type blood pressure. She then tried to prescribe me meds after a single test. Not just go home for three days but a lifelong prescription.Walk outside. Check on the machine.Totally normal.I've obviously never been to that clinic outside of those two times...
