In the Good News, Bad News Dept:

The bad news is that starting the day off with a Pap smear is never fun (though the day can only get better, right?)  The good news (which was a wonderful surprise!) is that this apparently is my last one; after 65 it's not done.

My next order of business was to call Verizon since I'm still experiencing the problem that was (supposedly) fixed yesterday.  I wouldn't mind making calls like this quite so much if it just didn't take so long to make my way through the maze of phone prompts just to actually talk to a person!

Unfortunately the bottom line is that as the account holder I am REQUIRED to receive alerts on data usage on all the phone numbers.  

I do, at least, have an address where I can mail a letter voicing my displeasure with this arrangement,  "suggesting" they change their requirements.

.
At least this is something I can handle,
having done my share of letter-writing!  

It's raining, as predicted.  

Certainly not good weather for the golf tournament, but great for other things

like getting sewing done.  Which is what I am about to do.
