Just left work to go to a podiatrist appointment and when I got there I found out the appointment was last Wednesday. She is not even in the office on Tuesday. Luckily, I could reschedule for tomorrow and the receptionist didn't say anything about charging me for a missed appointment.
I really need to screw this head on straight before I do some damage.
Rest assured that you are not the only one to do such a thing. I too have done that and sadly more than once.
I was racking my brain on Monday thinking my son had an appointment this week and could finally regain my serenity once I found the appointment card with this morning at 7:15 am being the appointment time. Whew....I really need to get closer to my post it notes and make good use of them.
Glad to hear that you were able to turn around an aggravating situation and turn it into gratitude for what can be.
Take care!

P.S. Don't forget, you have an appointment tomorrow.... (just teasing).
I think for me life in general is unmanageable; I mean, I didn't come here because I won the publishers clearinghouse lottery. But I think also for me one of the other symptoms of my unmanagibility is a sense of insanity; given that at present there's a lot of emotional and mental "balls" I'm keeping up in the air, I think it's important that I make an effort to cut myself a little bit of slack every time I think that I know what a putz I am.
I try to remember that when I look at myself, I am looking at myself through the eyes of a human being. When I look at myself as god looks at me, I look at myself with the eyes of love first, kindness second, everything else last.
I was in a family recovery meeting this past weekend at my daughter's rehab facility. The speaker talked about how As have "blackouts" and us affected by As have "brownouts". Example was driving 5 exits past THE exit you were supposed to exit at..
I sure did relate. I have to make lists. Lots of lists. It's difficult to keep your eye on the ball when there's too many of them juggling in the air? KEEP IT SIMPLE. Kabbie
I certainly relate. Last week I followed the wrong week on the calendar and missed 2 appointments. Finally on Friday I figured out where on the calendar I was. Now I can't find my cell phone. It's gone. I know I came home with it yesterday. My car keys were gone for a while yesterday. I work at home and so far I've done nothing today, but I am going to force myself to get moving and accomplish something because I'm just making things worse.
