OOPS

I had dropped Maya off at 'Chamber Camp' and was pulling into the parking lot at Starbucks for my doppio espresso machiatto when I realized that I had no prescription pads. I should have forced my way through the cave crickets and found my box with all things related to the office. Not only do I not have the forms I need for patients, I also cannot write prescriptions. The Benichous are away for a week, so there is no way to enter their garage, and I am stuck. Oops.

Once I got to the office, none of my keys would open the door. Somehow they did work on Saturday, but do not work today. I am confused. I called Sharon and left a message in the hopes that she will come here and let me in before my patient arrives. How frustrating. No prescription pads and no forms for patients to fill out and no office on my first day! I guess I have been less than eager to return!

A construction worker came and opened the door for me. Sharon is remodelling, so everything in the office is in disarray. Despite my initial struggles, I was able to see patients and it felt good to reconnect with people I had known intimately but had not seen in a year and the day ended with a feeling of satisfaction. Maya loved her day at camp so we were both in a good mood. Sarah came by with Sandi to leave her pet fish with us while they are in Puerto Rico, and after a quick dinner, Maya and I sweated and ooohmed at a yoga class and felt relaxed and revived when we got home and went straight to bed.
