Realized today that my testing and interview on the 13th conflicted with Karen H's vacation (and Karen R's day off) so I called to change it to the 20th. That's a bit of a bummer but Dr. Cooper is only available for interviews on Wednesdays. Oh well.
9/6/06
Called to check on appt. at U of P. Well, heck, they didn't even have me scheduled!! The scheduling lady said she'd call me back.
9/7/06
Well, she never called the 6th so I called again this morning from work. The only way they can schedule me for tomorrow is if I first meet her and then go about 5 blocks down the street to get the tests done. ???? This doesn't sound too organized at all. Sort of scarey right now. I really am getting second thoughts about this (first of all they never got back to me after the FIRST contact then they can't find my records and now this scheduling thing. Colleen said all her tests were done in the same building). Oh well, I might as well at least get the testing done and then, IF I qualify, I can decide if I want U of P or Temple. I mean, this has been dragging on since June and it's always U of P that's dragging their feet. That just doesn't give me good vibes. Chris is keeping in touch to keep my spirits up and BJ-TX called this evening to see how I'm doing. I've also been reading Cathy-MD's LVRS Journal. It's both encouraging and scarey but it IS good reading.
Today was NOT a good day emotionally at all. After work, I went to get my hair done (cut and color) then to Walmart to get cat and dog food. Got out to the truck and I couldn't load the dog food into the truck!!! I tried and tried but got so sob (with O2), I thought I might as well die on the spot! Finally swallowed my pride enough to flag a nice young man who came by and I asked him if he could load it. He was very nice about it but it made me feel sooooooo bad. I came home, told Bob he could unload the whole damn truck and I went into bed and curled up into a fetal ball and cried! I COULDN'T LOAD THE DAMN DOG FOOD!! What the hell am I doing here then? What the heck good am I anymore!? I'm going to bed.
