So I made a complete fool of myself at the doctors office today. I got there at 1:55pm for my shots (17-P and Rh) like I do every Monday and they took me straight back. They weighed me which was odd and out of character, then she said, "You'll be seeing the doctor now." I said, "Nope, I'm just here for my shots. My appointment isn't until Wednesday." She said, "Oh, they gave me the wrong orders. I'll go back and fix it, then let Debbie know you're here for your injections." She came back in about 5 minutes and said she was with someone but that she'd be with me in a minute.

By 2:15 I was a bit itchy, by 2:30 I was getting annoyed, and by 2:45 I was so angry that I marched myself up to the desk and said, "Do you know what time I'm going to be seen? I have to pick up my son and I've been here 45 minutes." The nurse looked at me, shrugged, and said, "I have no idea. She's with a new OB appointment. Sorry," and then she walked away! I was furious! I am on time for my appointments every time I'm scheduled. I don't give them grief when I'm taken late, and I NEVER complain. I've even agreed to be switched to another appointment slot because they double-booked for heavens sake! So, for them to just shrug off a 45 minute wait as if my time meant nothing to them and to just leave me there when all I needed was two injections?!

At that point I did what any pregnant, hormonal woman would do: I started to cry. I told them what I thought, stormed back to the waiting room, and sat there basically snarling and spitting. Wouldn't you know that Debbie showed up in about 10 seconds? She was so apologetic, but it wasn't her fault so it fell kinda flat, LOL!

I think I may be known as the "Crazy Lady" around the office right now, but I don't care at all!

I'm the type of person who looks for signs in everything. I believe the Universe speaks to us in subtle ways, and if we aren't careful and mindful, we'll miss it. Be it something overheard in a conversation, a sentence that catches our attention when speaking to a friend, or something more obvious like our car not starting when setting off to do something, we all get messages in one way or another.

A few of my 'bigger' choices in life have been decided by pure 'reading' of circumstances around a certain time-frame, and 9 out of 10 times the decision I made turned out to be correct. Sometimes things just happen to fall into place correctly without much work on my part, but usually it takes some serious thought and interpretation regarding what's been occurring.

I've been thinking about changing something in my life for a month or so now, and I finally made the huge decision. It's expensive but the outcome is something I desperately want, so I figured I wouldn't let fear stand in my way. Yesterday I went to sign up since I'm DONE with the real estate and, wouldn't you know, the website is down for maintenance?!

I think I may take some more time to think about this...
