Yesterday I'd remembered that I was supposed to have an ophthalmologist appointment this month, and I found it weird that they'd never called to remind me, and naturally this was the one appointment I'd forgotten to put on my calendar. Turns out the office had mixed up me and Robin (as he goes to the same eye doc), and the reminder came to him. As his appointment is next month, he thought nothing of it and filled out the paperwork. So today I straightened things out, got my appointment rescheduled for February, then the office called and said I was already seeing them next month. "No," I said again, "that's my husband. Please straighten this out." Meantime I was on the phone with the people who administer the hospital's website to make sure things worked on their end. It all took about half an hour out of my workday during my peak performance time (I'm definitely a morning-work person), but by the end of the day my appointment was properly scheduled and I'd filled out the forms even though I never got an email or text reminder. But it's okay as it's on my calendar now! It's all just as well since we've used up our FSA money for 2024. But the goings-on made me forget to call Mom, so I'll touch base with her Friday and plan to see her once the weather is no longer frigid, probably Boxing Day. Dang, I'm exhausted just typing all that!
