The early bird gets the post done

I decided to start my blog post in the morning. I really am a morning person...always and especially in the winter since as I said in my last post, I'm done with the day when it gets dark.

I just left a message with my doctor to call me. It's kind of a test. I called and left a message with her office on the day I called out sick from work, the 21st of December. I listed all my symptoms and what I was doing to take care of myself with the person on the phone. I really just wanted to know if I was doing the right thing. I didn't get a call back. Not that day or the next. The following day, the 23rd, I called during lunch and got an answering machine. I left a message about my prior message and how I was disappointed that I never got a call back. I said I understood that the doctor was probably very busy, but even a call from the staff would have been good. I said that not being called back made me feel unimportant. I didn't get a call back. There's a good chance the doctor never got the original message and maybe the person who took my recorded message said, oh sh*t! I better not let the doctor know I forgot to give her the message and I'm going to ignore this one so I don't get into trouble. That's what I'd like to think. So, this morning I left a message with the front desk simply saying I'd like to leave a message for the doctor to call me back about my cold symptoms. If she doesn't, I look for another doctor. I don't think I have a sinus infection or anything bad, but I have a daily headache and my throat is a little sore (and I talk all day with my job) and my ears hurt a little. Maybe I need a Z-pack like some people have suggested.

I just finished my book, Gods in Alabama by Jocelyn Jackson. I loved listening to it. The sequel is ready for me at the library and I'll pick it up on the way to work. I don't remember if I put a hold on the audio version or the book. I hope it's audio.

It's time for me to leave for errands before work. I hope your day is bright!
