Chugging along and being too lazy to write in this thing

Last week I saw my dentist for a quick check.  He got the last stitches, which had been hidden by the swelling when he took out the rest, and instantly the last of the discomfort went with them.  Nice to know the weird 'is this healing' sensation was actually just 'there is still something foreign stitched in here'.

Otherwise I have received and built the whole of the Lego City Jungle Explorers run, from which I shall keep the animals and plants bits and give all the vehicles and minifigures to kids, probably Oli's kids.

And I had a doctor's appointment last week too, with a long conversation about how the meds that would be best suited for me - best practice wise - are only funded by the public system once I become more sick than where they are most efficient for preventing people from developing more significant illness.  The underfunding of the New Zealand health system leads to it costing more in the long run - because of stupidity - and lowers the quality of people's lives in the process.  It is all so stupid, and with our current government it is only going to get worse.

I have been replying with "Thank you for your time" emails to the rejection emails.

I hope it comes across as polite as I am now worried it might have come across as passive-aggressive.

New kinds of rejection

Today is a day of getting rejection emails from psychotherapists.

I got approved by ACC finally, and then got warned that if I didn't find a provider myself in a timely manner they would allocate me one, and after how badly the last went I put a bit of effort into trying to get someone decent.  So now I am getting a string of very polite rejection letters from people explaining they are not offering new appointments.

At least I made the effort, I guess.

Otherwise since I got home it has just been the slow recovery of the mouth.  Rearranging book shelves and building some Lego that filled up the entirety of the freed up shelf, which was not what I had planned.  I had really hoped to get multiple sets on there.

Oh, and got bloodtests and my HbA1c is down by 13 points, which is a nice change that makes no sense as the last three months was a run of me doing things that probably ought have made it higher.
