Mr. Pesky is ALWAYS early. My Mom has always been one to be late. Put the two personality types together when there’s an appointment involved and it’s pure comedy.
I made an appointment for Mom at her doctor for 11:40 AM ET. Mr. Pesky got the time confused and thought it was at 10:40 AM. He made certain they were EARLY for an appointment he thought was ONE HOUR earlier.
I got a text at 10:27 to let me know they were almost at the hospital. That was my queue to leave home. Not even dressed yet and on the phone with a client, I couldn’t respond. By the time I got free and called them, Mom had already been inside her doctor’s office and was told her appointment was scheduled for over an hour later. I didn’t ask, but I’d be willing to bet Mom was forced to go inside without me — peppered with expletives about my tardiness. 🙂
I got there on time — even about 10-minutes before her appointment. We went inside, got her signed-in, sat down and smiled for our obligatory selfie:
Then, we patiently waited about 50-minutes before being called back to a room. They were running about 40-minutes behind. At about that time, I got a text from Mr. Peskie letting me know that he forgot his sleeping bag. I laughed out loud. Finally in a room, we waited some more…
The next text from Mr. Pesky was to let me know he needed to mow and that his lawnmower doesn’t have headlights. I laughed out loud again. Then, we waited even longer…
Right before the doctor came into the examination room, the text from Mr. Pesky asked if I thought the doc had decided to take lunch. (Please note that he’s been taking care of a restless dog in the car this entire time.)
I got home about 1:15 PM ET and could throw a rock from my front door and likely hit the hospital. Her next doctor’s appointment is 11/23. I’ll betcha Mr. Pesky is laying out what clothes to wear right now. 😉
