 Th 6/5/25- Cystoscopy: 11am/ Gummy

615am (1/2-LB:Guavadew). 1240am (1-LB: Purple Punch). 1245pm {I took 1/4 of a VIIA 100 mg gummy: 25 Total}. 115pm (2 hits-B:Guavadew). 435pm (1-LB:  Guavadew). 535pm (1-LB:Guavadew). 815pm (1-LB: Guavadew). 

Up 530am: Cloudy with temps to low 70's. 

***Today is the appointment that I've been dreading for months. I feel somewhat calm and I just want to get this behind me. Unless they tell me that I'm deathly ill by some undiagnosed condition, I'm going to be so happy later this afternoon. This will be behind me!

620am: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; Watched more of 'WORST ROOMMATE EVER' (Netflix)- 1)  An old lady takes in tenants in Palm Springs because she can't pay the utility bills. One of them kills her and throws her body in the pool. 

Finished the episode of 'WORST ROOMMATE EVER' (Netflix).  2) A woman secretly pays the premiums on a life insurance policy on a roommate and she is the beneficiary. She convinces another man to do the deed for $25,000 and the policy was for $150,000. 3) A Seattle homeowner rents a room to a couple. Later he kills them and puts their body parts in suitcases and throws them in the bay. 

I began watching an episode of 'MURDER AT FIRST SIGHT' (Amazon Prime). It concerns the murder of a student from China at the University of Illinois, Champaign. 

Seems like 'True Crime' is the best thing to watch when you want to forget something negative that might or might not occur. I've only eaten a banana and a piece of toast with cheese.

800 N. 1st. 2nd  floor   Dr. Tarter

I'm anxious about the appointment. I read about my experience on January 3rd of 2022 and it didn't seem that bad.  I just want this to be over.  

1015am- and home by 1205pm:  To 800 N. 1st. 2nd floor...I was taken into the back room at 1050am. and a nurse told me to take off pants, underwear and put on a backless smock. She injected (?) painkiller into my penis. I laid on my back on the table from 11am- 1125am before the doctor arrived. I was worried that they had forgotten me and the painkiller was wearing off. He looked like a clone of Dr. Floyd. The internal exam ended by 1140am. Basically it was uncomfortable and didn't really hurt until he inserted the tube through the prostate. When he was done all he said was that it was a 'normal' bladder. No mention of 'microscopic traces of blood' or anything else. It seemed like I was being rushed out. Brown dye was all over my crotch area and it did look like I had shit the bed. 

The nurse said that I could see Agnes Fenner in a year. I didn't grasp what she said and I went to the front desk on the way out. The appointment was for 2026 on June 5. The insurance clerk said that they only pay once a year and 6/5/26 was still within the year and my insurance might not pay. She changed the new appointment to Th 6/11/26.

When I left the hospital I went to the gas station at Monroe & Chatham and filled the gas can for the lawn mower and filled up the Elantra.

It's all behind me and now it's time for a movie.

Watched 'HITCHCOCK' (Netflix). Based on a book about the making of Hitchcock's most notable film, 'Psycho'. I didn't realize Alma, his wife, was such a large influence on his professional output. She co-wrote and co-directed most of his films and she really didn't get that much recognition. Other than that observation, no new ground was broken, although the film boasts a stellar cast; with Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Danny Huston, Toni Collette, Jessica Biel. Nominated for 1 Oscar; 6 wins & 30 nominations. "55" Metascore and I would go to "73".

From Variety: "Hitchcock is a diverting but dramatically insipid account of how the Master of Suspense took his biggest gamble and delivered his greatest success with "Psycho.""

***I got a text from Janny saying that the kids baseball game was tonight and they would be at the diamonds off of Parkview around 6pm. I wrote back that I was tired and 'maybe next time'.

250pm: The PC is 'Off' and I feel tired and off kilter. 25 mgs barely tickles the edges, but adds a nice tone to the day. It has been a trying (and tiring) day. In fact, I'm so glad that I didn't flee the appointment. And next time, I hope I've learned enough about 'Fear' to keep a lid on it.  

Reading 'THE PLAYER'

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began an episode of 'MURDER AT FIRST SIGHT'.

540pm: In the tub with 'THE PLAYER' & 'DEADWOOD' and listening to OHIO PLAYERS Playlist; MOTT THE HOOPLE- 1st album; ROLLING STONES- Early Stuff. 

Began BIG JAY OAKERSON on HISTORY HYENAS

More 'SECRETS WE KEEP' (Netflix). I shut it down 8 minutes into episode #5. Who was the father of Ruby's unborn child? Is Mike still a rapist or did he heal his evil ways? The melodrama just keeps coming...
