I can’t believe it’s December. Like, really. Last night I thought, “I’ll get a haircut in November or December” thinking that was a long time away. Now that it IS December, I have no idea when I’d have time for a haircut!
December is always my favorite month, probably because my birthday (the 15th…you still have time to buy me a gift and stick it in the mail ;) ). I’ve always been a huge Christmas fan, but I haven’t really felt the Christmas spirit this year. I’ve been dutiful in planning Christmas presents (ordered the first ones in the wee hours when I was avoiding going to bed), but not in writing Christmas cards or decorating. Still not sure either of those are going to happen. We’ll see.
I’ve been struggling with a cough since a couple of days before Turkey, and finally decided enough was enough. I could tolerate it enough for a while, but it’s starting to head south, and the last time I let it, I ended up with bronchitis. I know something is wrong when I can hear myself breathing in my headphones and they’re not attached to a stethoscope. (on a totally random note, I don’t think I’ve ever written that word…it’s kinda funny looking!) I have an appointment to see a PA this afternoon and feel incredibly grownup…usually I have to go to urgent care because I don’t know where else to go (and I’ve always had insurance, it’s just my patheticness). I’m determined to find a primary care doctor now, though. I’ll see if I like the office I’m visiting today.
So, to complete this randomness, what are you looking forward to most this month?
Good for you for going to the doctor! Peter always irritates me because he can be near death and still refuse to go to the doctor. :-)
I am looking forward to Christmas because I love to watch Emma open gifts. And I am looking forward to Christmas break. :-)
I hate going to the doctor. But you are right – it gives one a feeling of being grown up. I know exactly what you mean. I always think, “*I* am taking *MYSELF* to the doctor.” I’m a big girl now! =D
Jacki: I don’t mean to be that person, but as a grown-up, I’ve never had a local doctor, so there weren’t really any options.
Carrie: I’m also doing it without any prompting. The last time I went to the doctor for similar issues, it was because my RA made me!
i hate going to a doctor too..
only problem is all..everyone from myside of family..mom, sis, brother in law, hubby…all are doctors..lol!
I love my doctor…you know who he is. I always feel better, mentally and physically…afterall, I am 76, I can do what I want…that is what he says.
The Wedding. (Evidently it has become a proper noun.)
So how was the doctor? Man I avoid the doctor whenever I can. And the dentist.
I’m looking forward to… Christmas break. :)
How did your appt go?
