I've been a little off my game for a touch. It probably shows. This morning I decided to get out early and hang at my favorite Panera's. It just feels good to be in a public place, even though I'm alone. I never mind being alone, but here I feel kind of connected. Thank you Panera's for your free wi-fi. I'm sitting before a big window and although it's another cloudy day, I can still see the trees-flowering, budding and bare. I had my favorite bagel with hazelnut cream cheese. Did you know they'll do a 'bread slice' for you if you ask? Length-wise slices instead of in half. Much better that way.

I'm going to do some browsing when I leave here. Go to Kohl's. Target. I'm not looking for anything in particular, but I have two hours to go till I leave for the doctor's.

Talking about that, this is an appointment with a brand new primary care doctor. My last one, whom I adored, went 'boutique' at the end of the year. She sent out letters explaining her choice and said she would accept 400 patients into her new practice. The yearly fee would be $1800.00, and she wouldn't be accepting insurance. I just couldn't do that. The doctor I'll be seeing today came highly recommended.

I'll let you know if anything exciting happens today. You never know.
