I went to bed early (for me) on Wednesday night as I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday and was a little apprehensive about it. I was wide awake by 4:00 a.m. but did not get out of bed until 6:00 a.m. even though my appointment was not until the afternoon.
To add to my anxiety my financial planner was going to send me a package via messenger and I was worried that it would be delivered when I was at the doctor and with the strong winds would blow it away as they were important documents. I also had my doubts that they would be delivered on Thursday since his personal assistant called me late Wednesday to obtain my street address.
I opened the gate early in the morning and was on the lookout for the UPS truck. If they knocked they did not knock loud but I heard the neighbors' dogs barking like crazy. The lady and the driver were about to leave when I ran out but they had already left it next to the door. I am surprised I got it in less than 24 hours coming from Houston.
The doctor's office had called the day before to ask me to show up 15 minutes before my appointment but I decided to arrive 30 minutes before as I know better. Went through the same Covid protocol as when I went to the hospital as both are owned by the same corporation.
If you look at this picture you would think there was no one there. They were but in front by the registration side of the building that was very backed up. It took them over 35 minutes to call me to be processed and I do not even have insurance I pay cash.
His nurse asked me if I had arrived late...told her about the registration delay and she just rolled her eyes and shook her head. My doctor once again urged me to get the Shingles Vaccine but I have to do some more research as I have heard both good and bad things about it.
He scheduled labs for me and told me I could come on Friday (today) or next week. I wanted to get it out of the way and go this morning but it was 36 degrees and I don't do cold weather...will just have to wait until next week.
I just heard on the six o'clock news that snow would be making an appearance in Terlingua this weekend and possibly in the northwest part of Val Verde County. It is a good thing I am not planning to go anywhere.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
