Cookies in the Oven!

I'm in the process of baking cookies for tomorrow's potluck at work. I would rather bake than cook any day. While they're in the oven, I thought I'd give an update about how my day went.

We were a lot slower than yesterday, which was welcomed with open arms by both Doc and myself! I got caught up on some paper work which as some of you know is one of my favorite things to do (not); however, it was much needed. We got free lunch today. That is one nice (yet bad) thing about working for a big group: reps bring in lunch. Why is it bad? Well, often times it's stuff that's high-cal and just not as healthy as one would like! I have eaten more since I started working here than when Doc would buy me lunch! We had panera today, which wasn't bad.

After lunch, Doc and I met with the Big-Wigs at the big pediatric hospital in the area. It went well I think. We told them which specialists we needed closer out here. They have a clinic about 45 minutes from us, but it's still half way between their main hospital! They weren't too optimistic about the wait times for their developmental peds, neurologists, and psychiatrists... However, it gives us closer options! After our meeting, Doc made a round trip our area to show them all the different pediatric groups in the area that could potentially give them referrals, in hopes to woo them.

The afternoon was also quiet for us. It's almost Halloween, one of the biggest kid holidays, so no kid wants to admit they're sick and no parent wants to be the bad guy who takes them to the doctor and finds out they can't go out trick or treating! I would expect it to not be busy tomorrow, or at least I hope it isn't!

I'm hurting pretty bad today in both hips. I sat quite a bit today. Normally I'm up and down walking around. That's one of the cons about being slow... Tomorrow I'm going to check with my supervisor as to which day would be the best to take off for my appointment. I'm thinking Wednesday since Doctor J is off and his MA used to work with Doc and I. She knows how he likes things. So I'll probably take off the early that day.

I talked to one of the office managers at Lazzarini's re: my insurance. She was pretty helpful. Hopefully I can get them to take most of what I would normally pay out of pocket for an in-network provider. Sadly the new insurance I have to take, they aren't contracted with. UGH! But I know I just need to keep focusing on God and He will lead me through this mess, like He has since the beginning.
