early morning appointments aren’t for sissies

Nov 29, 2021

Carotid artery ultrasound appointment for my Momma this morning at the local hospital has me needing a nap and it’s not yet 10:00 AM. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m not a morning person. I’m a full-fledged, card-carrying night owl.

As we were waiting to check-in, I heard a familiar voice talking on a phone. The person was hidden around a corner but I immediately knew who it was. NaLona had her Momma at the hospital too — getting an ultrasound of her kidneys. Of course, we included her in our obligatory selfie. Mom looks better than either one of us.

Mom simply MUST stay healthy and appointment free next week because she and Mr. Pesky have doggie detail while I’m gone. We had to board Ben’s dog and cat and that expense wasn’t horrible. But big dogs are on a whole different level — $100 bucks a night for my two if they stay in the same area together. When they started talking about “‘condo” and “penthouse” I knew the price would be scary.
