Whoops!

Thank goodness for the fact that I always put things in my phone and my computer calendars with alerts. The fact that I basically have no short-term memory these days has made me paranoid, so I tend to make back-ups of my back-ups when it comes to important dates. It turns out that my doctor's appointment is tomorrow, not in two weeks. If it weren't for the pop-up reminders on my phone and computer, I would have missed it completely. Eesh.

This is good news, though. Instead of waiting another two weeks the way I thought I'd have to, it feels like I'm getting a "head start" now.

At griffen's suggestion, I'm going to try to write down three things every day for which I'm grateful, in the hopes that it will turn my mind in more positive directions than it's been going of late.

So, in no particular order:

1- I'm grateful for our medicare system, which ensures that I can get treatment for whatever might be wrong with me without worrying about how I'm going to pay for it, ever.

2- I'm grateful for my job, where I am treated well and compensated more than fairly for my work, and where my boss believes in treating all his employees like actual human beings.

3- I'm also grateful for my family, because there can never be enough love in the world.

I'm glad for you that these things are good for you. For my part, I'm grateful that you're in my life.

*glomps you*

Same here. (Can you believe we've known each other online for 12 years? It doesn't feel like that long!)

If you haven't already (...I forget if you did for your earlier appointment), you should make a list of your various symptoms for tomorrow so you don't forget to mention something. I hope they can give you some answers!

Yes, I have a list. The other day I was working from memory (hah) while talking to someone, and I forgot about the memory problems. How's THAT for irony?

Remember what curtana suggested about low thyroid as a possible cause for all those symptoms!
