What a way to start the week

Happy Monday.

I challenge any of you to tell me that you've had a more "eventful" morning than I have so far....

Dick and I woke up at 6:30, left the house at 7:00, and got him to the Cal Train station at 7:15. Then, I made my way to Pete & Richard's house to check on their kitty, Molly. (they are out of town, and there was something about a missing muffin in the house...)

As if that weren't enough excitement for a Monday morning before 8:00am....

I had an 8:00am OB-GYN appt today!

Yep. 8:00am PAP Smear. Now that's the way to start a week!
(should I be filing this in the TMI (Too Much Information) file? Any of you boys reading this getting squirmy?)
Also had my blood pressure checked, stepped on a scale (ugh), and had the routine breast exam.

..and all of this before 8:30am.

I think I can go back to bed now, and declare that I've had a full day.

On a side note, I'm still not thrilled with how much my rates with Kaiser have gone up this year. I mentioned it earlier this year already. This morning was my first time going in for an appointment this year. Turns out that my co-payment charge went up from $15 to $25 this year, PLUS, they charged me an additional $10 for lab fees. (just started that charge in March 2004). Yikes! (sounding like an old woman now) I can remember when my co-payment was $1. (back when I was a teenager) Really! I also remember that in 1998 I was paying $65/month and my co-payment was only $5. Sounds like a bargain now, doesn't it?
