This morning, I took off a half day from work for a doctor's visit. After checking me up a bit, he noted that I needed to have some tests done, and I had to take care of going to another place in town to have them done. AARGH! I hate doing this. But I will do so. But this is not the only thing that's growing old - my car is getting on in miles, and it's time to get a replacement. I'm not happy about what needs to be done, as it will cost me time and money. Time is now the most precious commodity in life, as we will never have enough of it.
It's amazing that the more I have to do, the less time I have to do it. This is the life of a busy person, even when s/he is not doing that much anymore. Yet, I keep getting surprised by things. This morning, I received some snail mail from Social Security about monies I had in a pension plan with the bank I once worked for. The information I received was from 7 years ago - regarding a 401k I have with the bank. It's nice to know that our government is trying to make sure that our citizens know about the retirement funds they have already earned with other employers.
The two remaining tasks I have to take care of before going to work is finding out when I can go in for the tests the doctor prescribed AND when I can bring the car to the mechanic. I guess that getting old will involve many more appointments for things that are starting to break down....
