Calendar check!

 You know when you use public transit you have to be very focused and responsible to be able to use the bus system in such a way that you can get to your appointments easily, on time and not too messed up. It's really easy to get messed up, through the fall of your own most of the time, you can only do so much too protect an appointment time on public transit. You're at the well of the transit gods who if you're lucky will smile on you and let you slide into your appointment on time. I was kind of like that today. Of course it's Thursday which means there's coffee social in the morning but I knew I was going to be way done with that by the time I needed to head out for my 1:50 p.m. appointment at my podiatrist almost 50 blocks from where I live which means I've got to take a bus to get there on time not only one bus one bus Which magically turns into another bus once I get to the end of the line for the first part of my trip. Actually the bus does not turned into the other route I have to get off a bus and then board another bus to finish my trip and most often than not the other bus will not leave for 20 or 30 minutes. I had about 30 minutes before I had to get to my other appointment once I got to the transfer point. I decided that juncture rather than risk waiting for the bus I would just go ahead and drive my chair up to the podiatrists. I had a full charge in my chair when I started out so I knew I had enough energy. It's about a mile and a half to get to the office sidewalks are pretty good but still even the best sidewalks have lots of bumps to him and you got to be focused and paying attention to where you're going.

I was blessed today to have good weather for my trip. Temperatures were actually in the upper 70s as I roll wrong the sun was out the clouds for today's late storm have not come in yet. I was enjoying the warm before the storm. I made good time so I had about 34 minutes before my appointment time. There's a big Smith Superstore a half a block away from my podiatrist's office I love to go in and Window Shop and sometimes even buy something. Today I was fortunate enough to get a four piece Fried Chicken Box refrigerator cold for $2 and some odd cents. I wasn't hungry or anything so I just put the box in the plastic bag and hung it off my chair. There is so much chicken here it would be at least two meals especially if I had something else to go with the chicken like mashed potatoes or gravy and something green who knows? So many options. I got everything together and then headed over to the podiatrist's office. I was kind of surprised because the person that helped me get in- - she has a super heavy door to get into his office and this receptionist often comes out and helps me get into the building. I can do it and I don't mind getting my own self in the building but it looks pretty pathetic. Anyway it's a new person that's not the regular receptionist. I go in to check in and she's a little perplexed why tell her which podiatrist I am there for an informs me that he's not here on Thursdays. Needless to say I'm a little more than freaked out. You know how you doubt yourself but I know that I made the appointment for this day and this time 9 weeks ago. They eventually found my appointment which was supposed to have been yesterday but I got the announcement on my email and then the cell phone phone message indicating that my appointment was today at 1:50 p.m. wasn't much I could do at this point and it didn't do me any good to get angry. I don't do that anyway sometimes I really wish I could but that's a whole another blog. I'm scheduled for next Friday 2:00 p.m. don't be late….
