Friday Fragment Freewrite – Day Camp Doctor Wino’s

When I stopped by the center to drop of the deposit to hold her spot for the chosen week, I got inundated with a stack of paperwork to be filled out…Emergency Contact Forms, Permission Forms, and a Health Form to be filled out by her doctor and returned with the final payment for the week.

I set the paperwork aside and got busy with end of school activities, then vacation preparation and finally vacation. For some reason after we got back from vacation (and most likely because I had Foggy Brain Syndrome from my sinus infection) I got mixed up on what the dates were. Until this week. I realized that Day Camp starts this upcoming Monday. GAH!

I dug out the paperwork and realized that I was already a day late from the deadline to pay the final amount and that I had until Friday to turn in the other documentation. In a panic I called the center and left a message, then called the Pediatrician to see how fast they could do a turn around on the Health form…they said they could certainly attempt to have it done by Friday.

Luckily the Pediatrician’s office happens to be open until 8:00 pm on Tuesday’s, so I was able to drive all the way over there to drop off that magical piece of paper – then was told that I would need to call Friday morning and see if the Doctor had the time to fill it out. It’s only one page, Princess Nagger had her annual check up just in February, so how difficult could it be?

I explained my faux pas and asked her extra nicely if she could please at least put a note on it for when the doctor was in Friday morning that it was really important and I would be forever grateful…so we’ll see when I call this morning how that all turns out. If it’s a ‘go’ that means I’ll have to rush over to the doctor’s office to pick up the paper, then drive past our house to the other side of Timbuktu to drop it off…but it will be worth it.

Meanwhile I got in touch with the center on Wednesday, and they were very nice – said that Princess Nagger is still ‘in’, and if I couldn’t get the paperwork and payment to them until Monday morning when I drop her off at the school, that would be fine, too – though they would prefer it to be Friday.

So at least Princess Nagger has a chance at going to Day Camp next week and having lots of fun…which means I’ll have a whole week of catching up on my shows on DVR…catching up on blogging without constant interruptions… getting stuff done and doing some major cleaning. I think I’m more excited than Princess Nagger is about Day Camp! 🙂

The doctor’s appointment that I had scheduled for last week I postponed until this week. Because I could. And I didn’t feel like going in. But I decided I better not reschedule it again, or I might not be able to convince the doctor to simply call in a prescription of antibiotics should I incur another major sinus infection within the next 6-12 months. She’s a very nice doctor, but a bit hard to understand sometimes with her accent – mostly because she’s very soft-spoken.

I felt like an idiot asking her to repeat herself a couple of times. Maybe I should have just nodded and smiled, because she in a roundabout way reprimanded me for putting off my annual and having a mammogram. So those appointments have been scheduled. Both in August. So stay tuned for PBS (Pancake Boob Syndrome for those that need clarification). But at least I was able to show her that the antibiotic was successful in knocking the yucks out of my system. So that was good.

Princess Nagger has been in cling-on mode this week. Another reason to do whatever I need to in order to make sure she gets to attend Day Camp next week. I haven’t been able to bottle the Blackberry Merlot yet, because I want to make sure everything stays sanitary during that final process.

When PN’s in cling-on mode, she’s a little busy-body and has to get into everything and wants to touch everything…which is a no-no for keeping things sanitary during the process. I know, I’m probably more anal than most, but at least those that are getting this wonderful nectar will be confident that it’s perfect and sanitary. 🙂

Several of you have expressed great interest in the home wine making process – with PN out of the house next week, I’ll be able to start some new batches as well as rack and bottle the waiting batches and take a bunch of pictures and do some posts about it. So stay tuned!

Before you go…could you do me a huge favor? Would you pretty please stop by this post (Top 10 Reasons…) and leave a comment for me there? I would be forever in your debt…I really want to go to BlogHer 2010, so being one of fifteen winners for a $100 sponsorship would certainly be a step in the right direction! 😉 I have until Monday at midnight to collect lots of comments…so pretty please? *bats eyelashes*
