So today started off not well. I had an appointment to see my gynecologist for my annual exam...so I thought!
I busied myself trying to get in a workout before I was supposed to be there when it dawned on me I'd never gotten a confirmation call.
The appointment was all through communication on the "patient link" online site the doctor's office has set up. You request an appointment and someone responds and lets you know what is available.
When I called to confirm my appointment this morning the office was, you guessed it, CLOSED. I went to the patient link and re-checked the appointment date and time and, sure enough, it said I had an appointment TODAY at 12:30pm.
I called back and left a very frustrated message.
I then wrote a response on the patient link saying the same things. I felt like my time was totally wasted and I scheduled my entire weekend around this appointment.
Suffice it to say I was irritated.
I did get a call back and the office apologized saying it was their mix-up. The person who responded on the patient link looked in my file and noticed I had an appointment on February 27th at 12:30pm.
In 2009.
Oy vey.
So the rescheduling began. Fingers crossed this goes well...
Tonight we headed over to my friend, Ellyn's apartment. We ordered really yummy (and fresh!) thai food and watched Pixar's UP.
I adore this film. ADORE IT! Some of the best writing for a dog I've ever heard. Hilarious. Adorable. Sad. Just all around awesome.
I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it!
Any films you recommend these days?

Day 93 - Matters of the Heart and Taxes
Thursday, February 25, 2010
So today was busy but also slightly disorienting. I've been in rehearsals to understudy for a show called Senior Spotlight for Imagination Theatre.
This work is very rewarding because we take the show to senior resident homes and work with them on imagination, sing-a-longs, etc. It really seems to help the majority of them forget about their "troubles" for a short while.
One of the other things we do is called a residency. We visit one home 12 times and work one-on-one with a group of seniors. We do exercises for their memories and their minds. We do sing-a-longs and encourage them to get a bit active and enjoy things.
I'm looking forward to the work. I'm just a little nervous.
Anyhow, we have a very short rehearsal schedule but they are beginning shows on Tuesday! Yikes! So quick. With tight harmonies and choreography (oh goodness there go my two left feet again) I just really hope neither of the people I'm understudying gets sick...or a really good paying job...right?
I came home fully expecting to get A LOT of stuff done (including working out), and was very accomplished with my to-do list...however somehow the workout just didn't happen.
I don't like that.
It's imperative that I make time for that. But I just didn't put my focus in the right places.
I guess the fact that I really wanted to do my taxes and get them DONE was weighing much more heavily on my head.
Lately, I've gotten phone calls/emails/texts from 3 friends who are dealing with matters of the heart. I want so much to make things easier on them and their sadness/frustrations. There must be something in the air.
My life-long friend, (and one of my maids of honor-to-be), called last night so upset. I sat on my bed with my receipts spread out before me and just talked it out with her. She doesn't live here so it's incredibly hard to give a full emotional hug to someone over the phone but we try. She needed it. And deserves it. I wish I could take her pain away. I know it will figure itself out. I just hate it when people I love so dearly are in pain.
Other than that, I gotta find some me/down time. It's been on-the-go for too long. I'm getting cranky.
What are some things you do to unwind??
