I'm late, I'm late, For a very important date. No time to say "Hello, Goodbye". I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I would like to share what happened today, some might find it rather comical.

As some of you know, this week is finals week and I have been going non-stop since Sunday.  I've taken three finals and painfully written a research paper.  I only have one last final to take today and I will be done for the summer.  So, this morning I was sound asleep from mental and physical exhaustion.  The phone rings and it's Darin, our phone conversation went like this.

Darin: Don't you have to be at the VA for your appointment?
Heathyr: Yes, what time is it?
Darin: 9:30 a.m.
Heathyr: "bleep!" I can't make it there in 10 minutes.     (normally the drive takes 40 min and parking 20 min)
Heathyr: I have to go, I love you, bye.

At this point I jump out of bed, threw clothes on, grabbed my book to study (because it will be an extra long wait, since I'm late), brushed my teeth while going down the stairs, grabbed my purse and run out the door toothbrush still in hand.  I start to put the caddy in reverse and then it hits me. Today is Thursday! My appointment isn't till tomorrow.

Soooo...I called Darin back and asked him if he knew what day it was!

At this point I couldn't go back to sleep if I wanted to, so feeling like I needed to wait somewhere, I took the caddy for oil change, tire rotation and balance.  One less thing to do before we leave for Louisville on Saturday.  

As for tomorrows appointment...I hope I'm not late.
