It was a major help to me last year.Currently I am doing good making appointments. One exception and medical in nature. What else is new?I will report back after I have slogged my way through the next two weeks of already scheduled medical appointments.Thankfully I am current with dog and kitty animal clinic visits.

Despite rain I obtained the parking permit and inquired about gym membership costs. I have two medical appointments I am considering but will wait a few days before committing.Posting here prompted me to act about the parking and pool membership.

Five minutes after I learned that the referral was approved, I set the appointment to be fitted for new compression stockings!___ Bonus: Yesterday, I got my second dose of the Covid vaccine! Went to the copy-and-printing store, to make photocopies of medical paperwork that my physical therapist needed, and brought the paperwork to my physical therapy appointment, and she thanked me! Learned that my longtime chiropractor needs a new referral from my regular doctor, per new insurance rules. Messaged my doctor to fax the referral to my chiropractor.

Less than a minute later, I remembered the handwritten notes from a career counseling appointment yesterday for three informational interviews, and another career counselor. Also, my glasses which are a decade old broke. I have an optometrist appointment I made months ago coming up, so that goes on the list, too.List of scheduled appointments:Friday July 2, 11 AM Vision Appointment.(I just emailed to check what needs to be done.)List of appointments to schedule:List of appointments to contemplate:School psych counselingVision training (get info)Informational interviewSchool tutoring job application

Will do a walk-in Wednesday or Thursday. Wearing it long and stringy until then.Auto check-up. Now questioning whether I should. Last appointment was last November. Only reason to do it is that I have a longer than normal trip coming up. I don't drive much, especially this past year, so I've added only about 1400 miles since then.

This should be done as soon as the weekend is over.

I don't know, though, how fast they could make new glasses for me, and I'd like them fairly soon. Need them for better vision on the road.Another call to make Monday...
