My favorite about Wednesdays is something that comes from Tuesdays, because every Wednesday I get to spend a joyful half an hour listening to my freshly downloaded Glee tunes. Tonight's episode was not only full of delicious Britney vocals, but also amazing one liners I will promptly replay whenever I want to scream tomorrow out of frustration.
Why might I be frustrated tomorrow? Because I will be no doubt have a large number of emails to respond to given that today I took a sick day to attend to most of my annual doctor appointments. That's one visit to my gyno/general practitioner (there's nothing better than a speculum, ladies, right?), one very overdue visit to an actually qualified dentist (that one 15 minute "cleaning" with a dentist in Baltimore doesn't really register on my radar), and a very expensive optometrist appointment, as I had to get new glasses to replace my four year old prescription.
Beyond that, I had to get a tetanus booster, polio booster, vaccination and a TB test; 4 vials of blood drawn for 8 different blood tests AND I have four...count them FOUR small cavities I have to get filled. My GP also suggested I have some moles removed that look interesting. Yep, I need a follow up visits to both my doctor and dentist. Of course, now I am completely freaked out about my moles and can only imagine the worst case scenarios.
My arms are already INCREDIBLY sore from my shots; I received the needles around noon and by 3 pm, it was getting a bit painful to lift my purse. By 6 pm, it hurt to raise my arm to shoulder height. How did we do this as babies?! Since I couldn't have my mom, I got ice cream to assuage my sore body.
Why might I need all of these doctors appointments? Well, Topher and I have been officially nominated for an amazing opportunity and the longest and most arduous step in the process is a thorough and very complete medical examination. It can sometimes take up to six months to complete all of these steps, but we're hoping to get it all sent back by the end of October.
Did I mention that Topher had no cavities and his form is already filled out perfectly? Boo hiss.
I'm also considering jumping on the bandwagon of vlogging. It's very hard to find the time to write and edit posts, but a five minute video every other day? Potentially doable....
What's new in your life? Good? Bad? In between?
Congrats on the Peace Corps applications. I have several friends who served right after college and all had an amazing time. I can't imagine how much harder it would be to do if you had to leave the real world though. I'd love to hear about what you plan to do with your house, your dog, etc. if this opportunity becomes a reality.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your applications! I'm sure that would be an amazing, amazing opportunity. Do you know where you would like to go? Do you even get to pick? haha - I don't really know that much about it!
ReplyDeleteHope your day isn't that stressful!
