Whoops! Hello there Monday…

Today… well today just hasn’t started out well. I mean REALLY not well.

I started my Monday… by finishing up my Sunday. Yep… that’s right. My Sunday bled into my Monday thanks to the craze of thanksgiving travel. Things I didn’t think about? How many people, I mean the shear number of PEOPLE traveling yesterday was amazing… and not in a good way. But then also the number of pets along our travels was also crazy. Hazel was on sensory overload before noon even hit. It was such a bummer to see her just coming apart like I was.

Thankfully after our disastrous connection (Ahem, Delta… please be realistic about the connection times you offer to people booking. Sometimes people (me) don’t pay close enough attention to the layover times) we sat off in a little corner to chill out. There was NOT enough pet relief areas in this airport. Well really there was ONE for the whole terminal. Which in every other airport was enough. Because she could have a private minute to POOP or PEE. Nope. Community approach to bathroom breaks… and just the volume of pets I didn’t take her in. This isn’t meant to be a DOG PARK for Christ sake.

Anyways, we missed our flight by like 5 friggin minutes… maybe longer. Either way we were stuck in the airport for 5 hours 45minutes. I rationed her water, but kept her stimulated with her dinner given as treats. SEVENTEEN hours of travel is too much for me, let along my fur friend.

We were able to pick up our car just after midnight and home after 1am. Yuck!

Next up cue completely forgetting ALL of the things we planned for today. I mean Monday is after all the beginning of the week. And since I took a week of vacation I was behind. I mean it’s true… I am behind… but seriously how is one behind after only being gone for the holiday weekend? I guess that’s just todays world. If you’re not ahead you’re behind.

So I “woke up” to my 10 minutes warning for my Holter appt. I had no idea where I was supposed to go. I got the address right, wrong city. AND I couldn’t find them on the internet… I mean WHO CAN’T FIND SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET. ME apparently.

Well Fudge. I’m 5 minutes late to an appointment I don’t even know where it’s at. Didn’t save their number in my phone to call to say I’m late, lost, and losing it. I was a MESS. I finally starting calling random numbers on my phone and got the cardiology department. Same building. Different office. Hello nightmare of a morning just unraveling. I explained that I was late for an appt to receive my holter. That I was lost. The nice woman was trying to help me by saying “we’re right by..” I was like I’m NOT FROM HERE, I know NOTHING about anything around this place. ARGGGGGGGG. I finally find the place, pull into the wrong parking lot. Drive around. Find the CORRECT parking lot and go inside. Get my holter placed. Sign away my life and walk out.

Now I’m just taking a deep breath and like I’m going to go get breakfast. Nah. I just want to go home. I’m gross. I haven’t showered. I need to brush my teeth. Wash my face. Something.

On the way to get coffee (can’t forget that daily staple) I look at my calendar for today and realize I MISSED my appointment for physical therapy this morning. Ummm.. WTF. I realize I have no idea what that office’s NUMBER is EITHER. But I was just driving by their office, as it was on my way home. So I stopped in and just asked to be rescheduled. I was able to get in for this afternoon. Yay… I’ll be bringing me, myself, and my holter. Exactly what you needed for PT appointments right? 🙈

Time to recenter. To just take a minute and pause. Because I need to get this day and week back on track. I have SO MUCH to do and not enough time to do it. 🤦🏻‍♀️
