This morning I got up early and headed out to the doctor. It was a referral due to some high lab results. My appointment was scheduled for 8:15. I got checked in by 8:05 and sat down to wait. At 8:45 I asked the nurse when she came out to get someone else what was going on? She asked what doctor and after I answered she responded with that he had multiple 8am appointments today.... I was thinking WTF??? Multiple 8am appointments? How could that be? How many people can you see/schedule in a 15 minute block. At this point I am starting to get alittle upset. By 9:05 when I am finally called back I a might pissed. She took my weight, vitals, etc. The only good thing is that I am down 10 lbs from the last time I was weighed at the doctor's office. That was exactly 1 month ago. My blood pressure was up.. No DUH! I was upset. She said I was next. I advised that I had to be out soon. She asked if I had another appointment? I was like no, I have to go to work at 10am. I am not going to get in trouble with my work because of this. I was already taking 2 hours off unpaid due to this appointment. At 9:20 I stepped out of the room and she was like all sweet and syrupy... He is finishing up and you are next. At 9:28 I had enough. Even if he had shown up right then it would not have been enough time. He was at the checkout desk w/ the patient he was just with. I had to be out and on the road by 9:30 to not be late. I walked out. I have never done that before. I will find another specialist and hope that they are not as overbooked. I know my primary care doctor wants me to stay in the say group, but since they are the only ones in the clinic group that is not going to happen. I so wish I could bill him for my 2 hours I missed of work for nothing.
Next was work and 6 hours that went by pretty fast. Nothing too major. I go some accounts cleaned up and got to talk to a couple of my favorite customers.
Then 5pm. I book it down the stairs and kiss Phaeton as I head out to go to a class/tour at Whole Foods. Phaeton is working 2nd shift in the same building as me so he is having his lunch when I get off work. I usually hang out and see him for about 15 minutes, but today I had to get on the road. The problem is that snow had started. People in Lexington get so freaked out from snow that it SLOWS everything down. I work over near Russell Cave RD, and Whole Foods is on Nicholasville Rd. The tour started at 5:30. There is no easy way to get across down at 5pm and snow makes it all the worse. I called and advised that I would not be attending the tour.
I got off New Circle at Versailles Rd and made a quick decision to go visit my mom. That was the best part of my day. I sat and talked to her and her husband for about 30 minutes. It was nice. Then I made a quick trip to Good Foods before heading home. Now I have been home, had dinner and just relaxing some.
