The Eye Appointment and the Addlepated Lady

Last week, I had an eye doctor appointment. I had made it about 2 weeks prior, wishing for something closer to the time of my request, as I had fallen asleep reading, as I often do, and broke my current pair of eye glasses.  I had several old pair around the house, and my current prescription sun glasses.  My current prescription was adequate, but I was starting to have trouble when I was tired, or when the lighting was poor. The old pair of transitions lenses were also adequate to get my through the time until I could buy an updated pair of glasses. 

I am supposed, according to the optometrist, have my eyes checked yearly, but of course, I have not done so.  I did establish a relationship with an ophthalmology clinic because I was told I have cataracts, and although at the time of the diagnosis, they were not effecting my vision, the relationship sounded appropriate. 

So I noted the appointment date in time on my reminders at home, at work, and on my phone.   And two days before the appointment, I received a text reminder from the clinic.  

And, I showed up the next day.  Of course, the clerks were confused regarding my presence, and after some checking, they were able to determine I arrived 24 hours early!

So, they dispatched me on my way, wanting to know if I needed an appointment reminder card, and making sure I understood I should return the next day.  t
