Ah, its time to go old school and wage a social media war. I'm fairly sure posting on Facebook shows my age and lack of social media prowess, but here we go...

This is my PSA to never, ever use Regus for any kind of business purposes. Here's a recap:

1) On April 22nd, Regus issued me an invoice of $1,155.00 for an account they had terminated in January 2024 - 16 months ago!!! - due to non-payment of one month, an account where I had a month-to-month contract (my debit card failed, I missed the one payment failure email they sent because I'm me).

2) Upon receiving the $1,155.00 email, I immediately reached out on April 22nd and asked for an explanation of the invoice. That same day I was told that someone was "looking into it." I never received a response.

3) On May 28th, my business bank account was automatically charged for the $1,155.0..... FOUR TIMES. YES, four individual charges of $1,155.00. $4,620.00 total.

4) After multiple phone calls and emails, two full days later on May 30th, I finally reached a customer service email that "my issue was being looked into." There is no billing department that you can speak with at Regus. No live customer service when they steal from your bank account. None.

5) Today is June 10th, its been 9 business days and almost 2 full weeks since they fraudulently charged my account and I have received zero answers and zero refunds. No phone calls, no apology.

This is their last bogus email, received this morning:

Hi Kathryn

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to let you know that we are actively coordinating with the higher level of management teams to ensure that your request can be addressed accordingly regarding the charges on your account as well as the duplicate payments.

Rest assured, that we are now processing your refund request and will make sure that this is returned to your as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience while we work on a resolution for this and greatly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Thank you very much and we will remain in touch with you on any updates once received.

NO I AM NOT ASSURED!!! This is INSANE, this has to be illegal, there is no reason a refund couldn't have been applied to my card the same day. They are holding my money and have given zero explanation of how this happened.

Long story short.... DON'T USE REGUS. CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNTS. As I've dug into the internet on this, I've found this is common practice for Regus. It's their MO. Fraudulent charges, siting contract policies that don't exist. Withholding money. It's atrocious.

DO NOT USE REGUS!!!! I'll be filing complaint anywhere and everywhere.

That's all for today, folks.

I love breakfast, and I love savory breakfast. Let’s be honest, I love savory everything. I’ve always been one to choose a hunk of creamy Brie on a freshly baked baguette over a slice of cake.

(Do I need to move to France…. 🤔)

Anyways, my taste preferences make it easier and more enjoyable for me to incorporate more veggies into my breakfast and I’ve loved using my sides for an awesome

Today I am I am grateful for the rain that cancelled my skiing. At first I was angry, but unforeseen circumstances forced me to sit with the uncomfortablenesss of doing nothing. It’s a learned skill, and one I’m not good at. I miss my kids, I’m bummed we couldn’t ski, and I’m beyond grateful for the finances to purchase the bathroom suit I forgot so I can sit in the sauna, eat my way though the day, coparents and family that help with my children, a partner that also loves adventure and the humbleness to recognize the privilege of this whole post in general.

Thank you to , the Medfield Cares About Prevention (MCAP) Community Coalition and for the free training today on .

A few things I learned tonight:

👉🏼Narcan can be administered at the same dose to ANYONE… ages 2-100, allergies don’t matter, preexisting conditions don’t matter, the drug doesn’t matter. It will only work on opioids in the brain and nothing else. You can’t hurt someone with Narcan, you can only save them

👉🏼 Narcotics in (where I live), are now being mixed with Xylazine, a power animal tranquilizer, that increases the risk of overdose

👉🏼Just last week a new opioid, similar to fentanyl but much more powerful entered MA and we’ll likely start seeing the overdoses from it in coming weeks

👉🏼There are likely ZERO pressed street drugs (pills) Al that are free of fentanyl. None. That means Narcan is not just for IV opioids, it’s also for that laced Adderall that some good meaning college kid just bought from a friend who bought it from “someone that knows a guy.” Let’s remove the stigma here.

👉🏼The average age of fatalities from drug overdose is now 47. This means that education and intervention is working on our young generations 💪🏻

I’m now trained and armed with Narcan, and feeling educated!! ☺️

You can’t do it all

Random break! Pre-prepped hard boiled eggs, slices beets with a little ranch for extra flavor and crumbled goat cheese, fresh smoked salmon, and cauliflower hash browns for some extra fiber!

Our healthcare system is so broken. So very, very broken.

It’s nearly impossible to get a primary care doctor in Massachusetts, and now Compass Medical, with offices in 6 different towns, shutters it’s doors overnight.

2where are all those patients going to go. They’ve been directed to emergency rooms and urgent care centers in the short term?! Oh, that should be help for the people ACTUALLY IN NEED OF URGENT CARE.

And then what?? My own longtime P*P left the practice, as many are doing, to go to a concierge practice. And who is to blame her. Doctors are overloaded, run down, told to do more, order more, bill more. So now they’re escaping to these self-pay clinics that the average person cannot afford.

I was left without a doctor, like so many other people. I was told the practice would absorb all my P*P’s clients. My sister called in time, got in with another P*P, saw her once, then just found out she is also leaving. I wasn’t “so lucky” and by the time I called, they said the practice couldn’t accommodate anymore patients. But they were merging with another practice, call then. I did, and was told they were booking new physicals in June 2024.

I searched on my insurance website and called some offices accepting new patients. They were not. Those that were, I was offered an appointment in a year, or a 4-6 month waitlist to THEN get a call to then be scheduled… when? Who knows. Oh, and long gone are the days of actually getting to CHOOSE a doctor that you think will be a good fit. Ha!

25 phone calls later I finally found a clinic taking new patients, and was able to schedule a physical with an NP about 6 weeks out.
