mmc floating island monte carlo

Saw my doctor this week. I need a bigger pill box/container! Merienda was at Floating Island in MMC. We shared a Monte Carlo {250}, BLT {210} and Carbonara {240}. Monte Carlo sandwich. There were four. Elevator down to MMC's Tower 2 basement parking area. After the consultation and small talk, we looked for the restroom with a handicap-friendly stall*. We were on the first floor {one floor above the lobby/entrance; like in Europe} of Tower 1; they pointed us to Tower 2. Towers were connected so we didn't need to go out the building. We passed Floating Island, turned left, hoped it wasn't a dead end... et voila! Spotted the sign and yelled, "Restroom!" White coat in front of us yelled back, "Restroom! There!" High-Five! No, we didn't high-five but we could have. *That "handicap-friendly" stall at Makati Med was AWFUL. It's too small and the door swings inward -- it wouldn't close when the wheelchair's inside!

tocilog this morning

Had blood drawn early this morning at a small hospital a few blocks away. Picked up breakfast on our way back. This tocilog was P43 and delicious. It was nice at 7 a.m. this morning; was cold and windy. No sun though even after 9 a.m. Didn't catch some rays, but at least it didn't rain. Man on TV said it might rain this week. Two med tech boys had a hard time finding an elbow vein to stab. To pass the time, while one worked, the other asked a question about me like I wasn't there. "How old is she?" I raised my head, looked him in the eye and answered. Maybe it was my Disney World baseball cap or someone fawning over my shoulder telling me it's going to be OK, but I wanted to surprise him... which didn't happen... He stared back with a blank face. Didn't even crack a smile. He didn't care. It was too early in the morning not to care. Maybe his failure to find a vein got him down. The other one he called "master" finally scored blood wit...

good night

you'd think after years of taking the same prescription, you'd get used to it with little to no side-effects. surprisingly, for the first time in many moons, i'm feeling yucky tonight. i think it's from the meds but it could be something else.* i'll just assume it's the meds, for now. i'm going to bed. *Update ~ Yup, it's not the meds. Hello, Miss Flo.
