For the last month or so, we've been getting increasingly urgent emails and phone calls and one postcard from the vet's office to get Bella scheduled for her annual check-up. We kept remembering that we needed to do it at times that they weren't open - evenings, weekends, etc.
So on Monday, while I was at my appointment, Alex called to make Bella's appointment! We were set for next week!
...And then yesterday construction on the building Went Bad, and now they have to close for a week or two for repairs.
*sigh*
But we just got everything set up...
(Everything should be fine. We'll just push the appointment out. Hopefully the repairs go well.)
For the first time in fifteen years I actually got to a check-up appointment of my own! They did blood work! I did not know they were doing blood work ahead of time!
So today I get a call asking if I have a family history of high cholesterol. I do - my mom's baseline cholesterol has always been high, though she's never experienced any negative impacts from it, and she has a very healthy diet. But they also ask if I fasted before my blood work, which I did not, because I did not anticipate blood work (even though maybe I should have), and I was not given any directions to do so. :(
So now I have to schedule NEW blood work, and fast beforehand this time. :((
But I don't want to schedule another thing, I don't want to get stabbed again, I don't want to get the same stuff my mom has been hearing for the last forty+ years about cutting things out of my diet that I mostly already don't eat. *kicking rocks*
I already have to go to two more follow-up appointments, but I also have to call my insurance to find out if those'll be covered, and I just don't WANT to do any of it.
Uuuuuuugh.
(I'll figure it out. I'll make the appointment. I'll call my insurance. I'll fast and see if that makes it look any less awful.)
I just want "finally doing the thing I was supposed to do" to be the end of that thing for a change, instead of it spawning more tasks to complete and requirements to redo the things that I planned to be done with!
