[Previous entry: "Sedona"] [Next entry: "And in conclusion..."] 11/17/2005: "Wasting Time, Money, and Opportunity"
Today is a monumental waste of time and money. I have a final follow-up MRI and visit with my doctor from my leg surgery last year. Between traffic and waiting and being seen, it will tie up my day from noon until, well, if I hit Atlanta rush-hour coming home it could be quite late. I've rescheduled this three times already. |
"Go out as far as you can in your writing. I can rein you back in, but
I can't take you out there."
Writer Buddies Anna Adams “Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
Fun Links "If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
"Sex is not a sin. Many people have complained that this is taking all the fun out of sex.”
"I know the difference between a good man and a bad one, but I haven’t decided which I like better.”
"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
“Men make love more intensely at twenty but make love better, however, at thirty.”
“My sister was with two men one night. She could hardly walk after that. Can you imagine? Two dinners!”
“A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin.”
“I used to think I had ambition...but now I’m not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They’re easily confused.”

Aside from the fact that my portion of this bill is going to be a couple of hundred dollars, there's the fact that my doctor is one of, possilbe the best, in the southeast when it comes to orthopaedic oncology. I feel guilty sucking up one of this time slots when there are people out there with real problems who could be using that appointment--who NEED that appointment. Me? I'm fine. I know I'm fine. However, when I mentioned to my husband that I should just cancel altogether he looked at me as if I'd sprouted a third eye. 
Guess not. So, I suppose I'm committed to blowing an entire afternoon and a couple hundred dollars and squandering a talented surgeon's appointment time.
