Fortunately, it wasn't any big deal. It was basically nothing. But unfortunately, the symptoms overlap with a minor stroke. So I had to do all the tests, from blood, urine to CAT, waiting for hours.
Once out of the hospital, I began to think about my mortality. I do have some underlying conditions that I can choose to ignore or to deal with it for the rest of my life. It seems stupid but I had it since middle school and it never gave me any trouble so far. And if I have to go tomorrow, life will go on for everybody else and that I don't miss anything in particular. I don't even have a bucket list but I can always fill in a few economical ones. Saying goodbye is the hardest.
I thought the IRS finally caught up with me after I had a few month's relaxations. I had a letter that I didn't want to open. I had a request for a document that I didn't think I can find. It's a simple form but I had to turn the garage upside down to find anything.
It turns out that it's a false alarm and I found the doc before it got into the garage.
For pressure relief, I turned to the Mentalist. And now I'm going to enjoy all the seasons with no pressure, and forget about my mortality and the coming of the ER bill.
I thought the Mentalist lasted just one season because it can't be popular. There's no pretty woman. But I enjoyed it and watch every episode on live TV for the 1st season. I think I cut the cord after that.
It surprised me that they lasted for 7 seasons. It may be easier to write than Chuck but still, the mental tricks and the cases can be a bit old after a season or two. We'll see.
They are not my type but I am attracted to both women in a good way. They guys are likable too. I like that they showcase a CA place often in the middle of nowhere in every episode. I never like the Red John thing but that was the trend.
