I would really, really like to blame today on not sleeping much last night. Alas, I can't really do that and be truthful with myself. I had my doctor's appointment today at 10:50 a.m. I get up and get ready, wake Nana up and feed her breakfast, finish getting ready and off I go.
Arriving at the doctor's office I sign in and go sit down. In a few minutes they call me up to tell me that my appointment was for 9:50 am. At least I had the correct day. When they called to remind me I thought they said 10:50 to me. But, I know better. They didn't.
The gal at the desk says to me, "You probably don't want to wait around...there are 3 people ahead of you and they haven't even been taken back yet."
Me: Well, what is the soonest I could get resheduled?
Gal: Feb 7th.
Me: I don't mind waiting. So do you think it will be an hour or so?
Gal: (not really wanting me to wait) At least.
Me: (knowing that she really didn't want me to wait, but I, knowing that SHE was the one who mentioned it decides I'll press for waiting) I don't mind waiting in the least.
Gal: Would you mind wearing a mask since you ARE coughing?
Me: Oh no, not in the least. I would love to wear a surgical mask. (smiled sweetly)
Since I really can't blame it on lack of sleep (because I had it fixed in my mind waaaay before I even thought about sleeping), and I don't think I can really blame it on my age even though my birthday is tomorrow, I guess I'll just blame it on not looking at my calendar to confirm what I thought I had heard. *Sigh*
The good news, I did finally get called and it was a good visit. I just didn't take time to do my lab work. I'll do that another day.
I do think it's time for a nap. Yes, indeedy! :)

You're an inspiration!
Oh Claire, first is today your birthday? Well, Happy Birthday!
But, you made me laugh out loud with that dialogue between you and the receptionist..."Would you mind wearing a mask?" and I could just see you smiling sweetly as you said, "not at all!" Oh me!!!
It has nothing to do with age, I've done crazy things that that trust me:)
What a blessing!
that's classic! Totally something I would do. Of course, had you first, "checked out the magazines" and then said, "no I don't mind waiting" Would have added that extra bit of enjoyment. LOL!!!
oh, and Happy Birthday tomorrow!!!! I won't be around much, so I didn't want to miss it. Also, since I'm happy birthdaying you, I will also say, thank you for all your lovely comments, and for updating you blog. I look forward to reading it, and usually take something that you wrote away with me...
