A Day Off

Today I took a day off since I have not had one of those in quite some time. I'm supposed to be off every Wed, but that hasn't happened in several weeks due to other providers having surgeries, vacations, etc. Also respiratory season is fast approaching, so the patients are flooding in.
Today wasn't a day off just to sit around, as I had several things on my agenda. First off I went to one of my close friends school and talked to her kids about health care given that is their "community helpers week."
Next up I went to get my hair cut and colored. This appointment was about six weeks past due. I now feel like a new woman:) My last scheduled appointment was to the doctor for my annual women's physical. Now I know some of you may be thinking that was TMI for sharing that I even went to that appointment, but I must point out something that I found quite funny that occured during the appointment. Shortly after the doctor came into the exam room she was asking how things were going. As I was filling her in on various things, the next thing that came out of her mouth was the question and I quote, "Do you have a regular exercise program?" She said that exercise is a great stress reliever. I guess after hearing about my daily life she thought I needed it ha! Now if you refer back to my C25K post one would think that I was on the right track. Maybe I should just hire a personal trainer and my daily stresses would be lifted. After all I'm to blessed to be stressed!
