Yesterday, I have postponed my last Doctor’s appointment for the year for a good reason. I waited till the last minute to call it off as I somehow hoped the weatherman was wrong with the forecast once again but no, he hit the nail right on the head this time. I should have known, because the weather yesterday was a repetition of the same inclement weather last Thursday.
Was I really right to cancel the appointment because of the inclement weather? I didn’t want to brave the rain and the wind, and for that alone I thought it was a good enough reason to cancel. I know, I’m kind of lucky as I have the luxury to cancel and re-arrange my schedules at the last minute based on the weather. I consider it as one of the perks of being a stay at home wife. ” So what if I can’t do an errand today, there is always tomorrow” — is my signature statement whenever I postpone and cancel planned errands when it’s not inviting to head outside.
My gyno appointment cancellation proved to be a mistake, though. Now, I’m on the waiting list to see my doctor for this year. If there are no cancellations, I stand to skip my annual exam as the next available appointment is not going to be till January. Tsk…tsk. I’ve always dreaded this visit anyway, but be it as it may, I force myself to comply annually just for the sake of complying.
There’s a part of me that says, I made a big mistake, but at the back of my head I say: will two months make a big difference? I think I just have that fear because I know so well that I’m veering away from my pattern. Year in and year out, I see the same gyno every November.
After this incident, it may have created a precedent. I shouldn’t always use the weather as a convenient reason not to head out. As of press time, it’s still windy out there. Just imagine the incessant howling wind that I’m hearing right here at the 14th floor. Good thing, I have no errands today.

You know what? Too many times I’ve been in the same dilemma. At least, for you, you have a valid reason not to go unlike me who just happened not to be in right mood to see my doctor.
wala lang, basta tinamad lang. yun eh! Di naman kasi ganyan kahigpit mag-set ng appointment with doctors here.
Rains pa rin dyan. No snow yet? Wow, exciting.. snow time is coming!he he..
Enjoy the weekend, Juliana!
Hopefully you’ll be able to get another schedule soon. I don’t like going to the doctor myself. I may stop going to the ophthalmologist kasi he’s not really doing something. Just looking at my eye and I don’t think there’s really a problem with it.
Anyway, I worked and worked today. M stayed home and did some work around the house and the yard. Next weekend pa sila magiging busy talaga.
Here’s wishing you a good weather tomorrow….

Bummer. I’m sort of a stay at home wife, too, only I don’t get to cancel my chores due to inclement weather. Snow, rain, wind, blizzard, mud, heat, I still have to feed our horses and llamas. My least favorite time to do chores is during the howling blizzards with below zero wind temps. Thank goodness we have a wood stove to warm up near when I get done with the chores though!
Hello from cold Florida! Hahaha…actually di na cold right now…kanina medyo medyo lang…
Payagan kaya ni M si E na magbakasyon without us? I can bet my life he won’t…..haha. Grabe super duper protective itong ama nya. Sinabi nya kagabi sa Daddy nya yung biggest wish nya. Sabi ko: If Santa can’t bring snow to her, then Santa would have to bring her to the snow…di ba?

@ Brenda
we don’t have horses so I have that luxury.
yes, I can imagine how tough it is to maneuver around in the middle of a blizzard and bone chilling winds.

thanks Deb, and thank you for asking about my Mom’s condition. She is still on a bi-weekly dialysis. It’s going to be six months soon.
