Monday Morning Confusion

Monday, Oct 17th 9:30 AM - Dr. appt for yearly physical.  Set the alarm so I would NOT oversleep....made coffee, checked e-mail then off to shower and dress.  Shaved (since I am on the other side of menopause the body hair growth has slowed down considerably) because it has been awhile and thought it only polite to remove what little hair growth there was before presenting my totally nude body to be poked and prodded by my (thank-goodness) female Dr.  Thought it was a little strange that I received no reminder call, but left at 9:15 to arrive on time.  Walked in, receptionist looked at me strangely, and I thought, uh oh, this does not feel good.  She proceeded to tell me I did not have an appt. and didn't even have one scheduled.  WHAT??  I remember specifically going to the Dr. office to get my perscriptions refilled and scheduling an appointment.  She remembed nothing!!!  I even blogged about my trip to the office on Sept 29th....that did nothing to convince her.  Oh well.  Back again on Thursday (new date), same routine, but probably won't have to shave this time.  (Is this too much information??)  Where did I get that date and time, if someone had not given it to me?  This is one time I am going to point the finger at them and not me, I think they just didn't write it down or put it in their computer or whatever they were supposed to do.  I know age is creeping up, but please, I don't make up Dr.'s appointments, especially that, ugh, yearly physical. 

Since I was up, shaved, and dressed and because it was a beautiful day and I had not purchased mums for my new red pots, decided that this found free-time should not be wasted.  Off to Home Depot, very disappointed, all the mums were already in full bloom, it was that 80 degree weather we had last week that did it.  Did manage to buy a pumpkin and some orange pansies (a fall fav).  Back in the car and off to my fav garden center.  And yes, they had some beautiful mums that had not all burst into bloom (yippee!!).  Feel like if you buy mums that are in full bloom, they will not last as long as those that still have blooms to open, make sense right?  Please say yes, after the Dr. office confusion I need some re-assurance that I am not totally gone.  Took my camera along and captured some beautiful colors, ain't Fall grand!!

Until next time......
