I need to make the following appointments: - Tire center to put on the non-winter tires. (I thought it was bad to wait till May last year!)
- Doctor's office to get a new primary doctor.
- Doctor's office to make appointment with new doctor.
- Doctor's office for routine screening that I skipped last year.
- Mechanic for check-up on car.
There's one more thing I thought of earlier, but ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️.

goldenthreads Thanks for starting this topic again. 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.

Yay to sidestep for starting this challenge last year! Yay to goldenthreads for starting it this year! ________________________________________ Copying this over from last year's thread: Feb 4, 2020, CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenity wrote: 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.

Don't know how I forgot this: my hair hasn't been cut since February of last year! It annoys me several times a day. Pretty sure there's one more thing, though...

I returned from dental appt via the small university town. 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.

Last week, I requested a referral for the appt for the compression stockings! TO DO: I still need to follow through and get the appointment set. 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.

Wow, CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenity , your update is big! Nice job getting on top of all that. Well, you spurred me to get going on these. Just made the tire appointment. The plan for the others: >It turns out I need to make one or two phone calls tomorrow for the three medical things; phone number and hours written down. >I'll call the hair place tomorrow, too; phone number and hours written down. >I will look at my calendar tomorrow to see what days would work best for going to mechanic; they are a ways away, and I should group that trip with other unknown errands. Kept my blood draw appointment today.

At first, I had a vague feeling that there might be one or two appointments I needed to make. 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 counseling Vision training (get info)
Informational interview
School tutoring job application

Done: Tires swapped out and winter tires put away.
Half done: Medical: Waiting for a return call to get a new doctor, and to set two appointments.
Not done: Hair. 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.

Got the screening appointment set.
Still need new primary doc and appointment with her. Planning to get hair done tomorrow. Still thinking about whether I actually need a car appointment.

I must drive to two pharmacies and probably contact the prescribing doctor to straighten out a prescription problem before I run out of the pills. This should be done as soon as the weekend is over.

Realized in the last few days that I haven't had an eye doctor appointment in forever. 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...
