Not entertaining enough to be said twice.

Does Seattle have a doll hospital, Jilli?

I have no idea! That's something I've never thought to look for. Hmmm, off to Google I go.

I offered the suggestion just in case Ginger felt it was too much to say why. But yeah the doctor should know.

sj - I'm glad everything is laid out for you and you feel at ease.

I slept the entire afternoon away, about from the time I posted until a little while ago. I have got to call my GP's office I'm pretty sure I have an ear infection.

But waiting to call is tied to my anxieties and stuff. So I'm having to work through that. I may do it right before my therapy appointment.

I have a stuffed penguin I got at the Milwaukee zoo.

I had a stuffed Opus the Penguin for years after high school. He carried a red, heart-shaped pillow that said "Penguin Lust."

I reschedule a non-urgent doctors appointment that was supposed to be tomorrow for next week, and when asked the reason I resisted saying that I don't have enough spoons to go to four doctors appointments in one week.

I need to reschedule an appointment I canceled for that reason.

That's why I rescheduled my doctors appointment last week. Now I need to call them tomorrow about my ear which is really bothering me. I was having an intermentint stabbing pain (that would go away for a few days) but now it's a constant pressure and weird feeling. Plus when I press on my ear it hurts. So I'm thinking ear infection.

I'm dreading calling tomorrow because 1)my anxiety and stuff tells me they won't believe me, 2 )I rescheduled the appointment and my anxiety and stuff tells me that they will hold that agianst me and 3)I'm seeing my therapist and I'm just dreading that they'll say the only time they can see me is during or close to that time and then give me problems.

Rationally I know they won't but it's just anxiety and the working assumption is medical stuff/being sick is a trigger for me for the PTSD stuff. (which is the - they won't believe me and also I'll be chastised for not being compliant).

Stupid brain.

My stupid brain has done that to me too, but over the years I've come to realize that people don't generally give other people a second thought. For 1), the scheduling person will find an appointment time and then forget about it and for 2) they probably don't remember you rescheduled.

I do wish more scheduling could be done online.

What Ginger said. The only thing the scheduling person today seemed to care about was the fact that I didn't need an appointment this week, which made her happy.
