I got up early this morning so that I could get to the hospital for my 9am appointment. I left later than I wanted to but seemed to make good time by the time I had to change buses to get there. I got on the bus that goes to the hospital and then, for reasons unknown to me, decided to have a look at the letter I got two months ago from the hospital saying that the date of my appointment had been changed. I then saw that I had written it down wrongly on the calander and it was actually yesterday morning and it was at 8.50am, so not only did I get the date wrong but also the time. I got off the bus and made my way to the post office nearby, because I had some ebay stuff to send off, only to find that it doesn't open until 9am and it was only just 8.30. So I sat in a little cafe and had a cup of coffee until it opened. Whilst in the cafe I had the idea that as I was near the betting office I use sometimes, I could pick up the winnings that I forgot to get last week, and then realised that the betting slip was at home by the computer. I got the parcels posted and then had my first good bit of the day when I went into a charity shop a few doors down from the post office and bought some dungerees and a top for peanut. Then I came home and phoned the hospital, who told me that the earliest appointment they can give me is for the 5th of November, but I can phone every week to see if there is a cancelation so I can get an earlier appointment. All in all an eventful yet rather annoying morning.

Here's hoping the rest of the day goes better.
