Thanks for joining me, mylittlescholar ! I found once I made one appointment it was easier to schedule others since I had 'broken the ice'.

I need to make a doctors appointment. I was suppose to go but I got a phone call saying she wasn't in the office that day. I have to call to reschedule.

Looks like I took up your challenge without even knowing it, sidestep. I needed to schedule a physical with my doctor and managed to do it in spite of myself. My appointment is on February 4. Good luck with your appointments, mylittlescholar and momof3boys!

hmm, I went one step backwards, today, I missed an appointment. I can reschedule that one online. The other two I need to call to make. And I also need to start working on getting connected to care provider support.

I'm not sure if is one step forward, two steps back, or maybe I am waltzing. But I want to stay active on this thread for accountability!
Today I missed another appointment--with my therapist! arg! I have remedied this situation by writing the rest of them on the "big board;" the white board where I am keeping track of all of DXH's appointments.
But I did accomplish a big task, I booked the flights for my friend LR, who is coming out to visit for a week next month!
I am very happy about that, both because I got relatively cheap seats for her, and also because we successfully nailed down something we have been talking about for months.
I also joined a private fb group that includes support for care-providers, so I've made a start on that, at least.

Hello & good luck with your appointment, Celeste! Sorry to hear you've missed 2 appointments, mylittlescholar. You've got a lot on your plate, so I hope adding them to the white board helps. Congrats on joining the care provider support group & good job booking that flight for your friend's visit. momof3boys, I hope your rescheduling is going well.

I've successfully been plowing thru my appointments while I'm on a roll. 2 appointments down, & I've scheduled the vet for tomorrow 1/31/20.
My inspection results now require me to make an appointment to rectify a situation to get my insurance renewed. Hopefully I can get that done soon or tomorrow as well.
I'm editing in my completed appointments at the top of this thread. Thanks for participating this challenge with me!
The challenge ends Sat. Feb. 29, 2020!

With my specific health and dental conditions, I'm supposed to see the dentist 3 or 4 times per year. But it's been 11 months since my last appointment. Dentist appointments have been a big avoidance thing for me. I don't know why ... I don't fear dental work. Maybe it's simple procrastination for me? Oh well, I don't need to analyze, I just need to *do*. After procrastinating for many months, I finally phoned the dental appointment desk today, got the voicemail, left a message requesting an appointment. Thanks for this thread, sidestep !

I haven't made my dental appointment yet & I haven't been in years. I need it badly since things are getting worse. In my case, besides my normal procrastination, my dentist has taken on a new, young partner. I know it's to be expected as he tries to retire, but I don't like being older than my doctor & seeing someone new will amp up my anxiety too. I did have an anxiety attack last time there with the staff I already know.
