I’m mad about a thing again. Except this time, three.

Irritating crap is threatening to derail an otherwise pleasant Friday that began, for a change, on a positive note after eight glorious hours of sleep interrupted by only one routine middle-of-the-night senior citizen bathroom adventure. In case you’re interested, here’s what’s getting on my nerves today.

IRRITATING MEDICAL CRAP. Dr. M’s office called this afternoon to tell me that additional analysis of Tuesday morning’s peepee sample has revealed a much higher level of bacteria than originally suspected, therefore I’m supposed to discontinue the antibiotic I’ve been taking for the last four days for my urinary tract infection — gigantic blue horse capsules called Cefdinir — and pick up a stronger prescription that she just faxed over to CVS. This time it’s Ampicillin 500 mg four times a day for 10 days.

IRRITATING CELEBRITIES WITH NO TALENT. I was glancing through an article on Gawker.com today about Jennifer Lopez when it suddenly occurred to me that I have no idea why this woman is famous. She can’t sing worth a damn and the only movie she ever made that didn’t flop was 17 years ago — Selena — in which she lip-synced SOMEBODY ELSE’S VOCALS. Judging from the endless pictures of this half-naked diva on red carpets I’m assuming all she really knows how to do is POSE, which means she’s just Kim Kardashian with a couple of dance moves. BIG DEAL.
IRRITATING GROCERY STORES. I’m pissed off at the corporate douchebags at Kroger for continuing to allow open-carry ammosexuals to bring fully loaded assault weapons into their stores. You’ll get asked to leave if you walk in with a Big Gulp or you’re not wearing a shirt, but apparently it’s just fine with Kroger to wear an AK-47 strapped on your back. Or, in the case, of dipshit Kory Watkins here in Texas, to actually parade around WITH YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER.
A group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America has been circulating a petition to get Kroger to ban guns in their stores, stressing that Kroger employees shouldn’t have to determine if the moron with a gun in the frozen food aisle is a dangerous criminal or a local dickhead making a political statement for LIBERTY! JESUS! AMERICA! Personally, if I ever see one of these freaks in a store or restaurant I’ll call 911, notify store security and get the hell out of there.



Hey, Dr. M referred me to a cardiologist today and I have an appointment with Dr. Sandeep Singh on September 17. One big “plus” from the get-go is that he sees patients on Wednesdays in the same Baylor medical facility as Dr. M here in Mesquite so I don’t have to shlep anywhere new. Also I noticed he has lots of five-star patient reviews on the HealthGrades website, which is like Yelp for doctors. Stay tuned for additional details, okay?

I have to order some Chinese food now.
