Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 656

1.What's something you find extremely difficult that most people would say is simple?  I don't know about "most people" but I'm not good at small talk with people I don't know.

2.  "And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow fast in movies I  had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." 

~F. Scott Fitzgerald

Does the season of summer make you feel this way? Elaborate. No.  Maybe when I was a kid in school, but summer as an adult, and especially in Florida, is just hot, sticky, and somewhat oppressive.  Spring gives me more of a renewal feeling than summer ever has.

3. Pickles. Love 'em or no, thank you? What's your favorite type of pickle? What's something you eat that definitely needs a pickle added?  I love sweet pickles and bread n' butter pickles.  Dill slices on a burger are okay, but sweet is preferred.  They are good with any sandwich, or on a cheese board!

4. Tis the season...do you know any June brides? Are there any weddings on your summer calendar? What's your favorite movie wedding?  No one I have on my calendar has a June anniversary.  There are no weddings on my summer calendar.  Wedding movies that I have enjoyed:  My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and The Wedding Planner are the first two that came to mind.

5. June 1st is/was National Say Something Nice Day...say something nice here.  Thank you, Joyce, for giving us these fun Hodgepodge posts every week!!  

6. Insert your own random thought here.  A few months ago, I made the decision to change my primary physician from one major clinic here in Lakeland to another.  Over the years, I've had specialists at both clinics, and I will just say that the two clinics don't play well together (in my experience).  

My change in my primary provider only left one specialist with the other clinic, and I see a new cardiologist on Friday this week.  All of that to just say it has been a pain in the (whatever) to get this all done and situated.  Medications must be switched for refills, new meds don't always work like we would like, new tests ordered, and some of them seem redundant...  I read the reports posted in "My Chart," and I also do my research on medications and tests, etc.  Sometimes the staff seems tired of patients who ask too many questions...  I'm tired of doctors right now and look forward to being done with the new ones after this week. It's all my decision, and it's all for good.  Rant over.  Thanks for 'listening'!!

Peace and Hugs!
