Normally I get up at 6:40am in order to get to work at 8:00am. For some crazy reason I made a 7:00am doctor appointment. Of course the good thing is being able to get to work on time but the very very painful part is the waking up at 5:40am. Anything even 10 minutes earlier than normal is super difficult for me. I just don't do mornings.
On Thursday my alarm went off at the crack of dawn hour of 5:40am. I drug my sorry behind out of bed and got myself up and ready. The entire 15 minute drive was in the dark. When I got to the doctor's office at 7:00am (which is only 20 minutes after when I normally wake up) I gave the lady at the desk my name and then waited as she looked up my information. And I waited. She asked me for more information and she checked some more. And then.... she looked at me and said.... your appointment is tomorrow. What?! I just stared at her and then finally said "you mean I have to do this again tomorrow?!?"
Yeah, it was down in calendar for Friday. All week I had struggled with what day it was. On Wednesday, I thought it was Monday. I just showed up on the wrong day.
Needless to say, I drove straight to Starbucks! I do however know that today is Friday and I am so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow!
I have to say I've been reading your blog for over 2hours now, I'm totally involved now, I think it is awesome what you and Josh are doing, I was adopted at birth. And I can tell you I don't think there is an easy time to adopt a child. We all come with some scars or other. It just how you handle it that counts. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I've so done this before. I live in the middle of nowhere 60 miles from Seattle, and I actually showed up to a few apponitments down there days early ... I just thought of them as dry runs... lol
