It makes me feel pressured to get going, but NO, I don't want to sit in the car for over an hour. We can hit a drive through to get some lunch but I still don't want to be taking off 2.5 hours before the actual appointment. Some slack time to find the office and figure out getting dad out of car and then parking in a non-handicap spot since he never did apply for a handicap placard but this outfit seems paranoid about covid or germs in general, I didn't catch exactly what the admin meant but she said something about no staying in the waiting room ? WTAF that means I don't know. You'd think they'd still want folks to be a couple minutes early so as not to waste the doctors time and could pay a janitor to wipe down surfaces periodically but whatever floats their boat; I'm just going through the motions on this retinal specialist appointment. Possibly they can recommend laser surgery for burst blood vessels the reg optometrist pointed out or something but I think they probably just tell patients to be careful to control blood sugar and blood pressure.
But enough whinging. Over quick to get dressed is much better than refusing to get out of the chair like dad did with the early Feb regular doc appointment when he was feeling sick.
Aaaand I am a big WEENIE, it was snowing at 11:45 when I fed the horses and I was worried about my car's bald tires, put it to dad and he said maybe best to just go another day so I canceled the appointment. And the snow quit in 30 minutes and its just been yucky cold and gray but driving would not have been a problem. If I hadn't been feeling chilled and blah I could have got his car's tire aired up and just told him we were taking it. Oh well, no big deal in the grand scheme of things. I should 'be better' but that is true for most things I'm doing lately.
