My Grandma died a few days ago, and in making the travel plans to get to the funeral, I realized I'll miss my regular doctor appt. I cannot miss this funeral & spent a fortune to get there.
My doctor's answering machine says, "If you're having an emergency, go the the ER, if you're trying to cancel an appointment, call on January 2nd." It said, more but that's about all I heard. I've never had problem one with this doctor but I KNOW he hates it when people cancel or show up late, etc. And my appt is ON the 2nd of January!
I fly out in 4 hours and am really worried. Maybe it's just the grief, but in 16 years I haven't missed a doctor appointment. And my doctor is kind and likes me! Why am I freaking out so badly?
Luckily I had a good month b/c I traveled so much I forgot to take my pills several times (not GOOD but it helps in letting me have enough for the trip.) So I'm not worried about this next week with meds, just worried about the doctor's office.
Ugh- I just need some time to think w/o all this stress. Stress is about the worst thing for my RSD and it's not going to get any easier. I miss my Grandma, I'm going HOME which is always difficult b/c I try to hide my bad foot & it's impossible in this snow.
Tell me that the New Year is going to be okay!

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
