Today is not going to go down in the books as one of my favorites. I had to take my grandmother to a doctor’s appointment in downtown D.C. (I hate driving, and I hate city driving even more). When we got there, we found out that the doctor was unaware she had an appointment in the first place, and had gone home for the day. So we had to drive all the way back. And nearly got lost on Nebraska Avenue.
Meanwhile, in the Weblog Awards, I fell asleep holding a nice comfortable 30 vote lead, only to wake up and proceed to observe Blue Gal beating me like I stole something (you can mitigate some of the damage by following the link and voting for The Debate Link). On the upside, it does give me an excuse to use the phrase “beat me like I stole something,” which really doesn’t get the exposure that it should.
But the worst thing is I have my own doctor’s appointment at 3:30 today. This isn’t so bad in itself, of course. I could even get over the fact that the parking at this place is the most abysmal I’ve ever seen (and in Bethesda, that’s an impressive claim). No, what really annoys me is that I am not feeling sick, nor is this a regular check-up. This is just my mother being paranoid because I observed that I’ve been somewhat thirstier than normal since I’ve gotten home from college. Which means one of two things will happen…
a) The doctor will inform that people need liquid to live, and nothing is the matter. My afternoon will be wasted, which will suck.
Or,
b) It turns out that this actually is, in fact, the harbinger of some dreadful and lethal disease, which would be ironic and would suck at the same time.
Either way, I can’t win.
Le sigh…
When does college start again?
