Loads of snow -- in the 15+ cm (6+ in) range -- when I looked out the window today. I shoveled the driveway around the car and cleared the snow covering the car. The latter exercise required that I shovel the drive way around the care -- again. Drifting with the wind last night left deeper, solidly packed areas of very fine snow. Sun came out in early afternoon, which made it feel less nasty. The wind was vicious! My plan to clear the patio was put on hold for tomorrow or the next day. The cold wind made the one task of clearing off the car more than adequate for the day.
My appointment for today was rescheduled given the difficulty with drifted snow. I got a call soon after noting that the new date couldn't happen. I needed to go through the referral screening process again since it had been over three months since the last appointment. Luckily, it is a self referral, but it still took time to call the toll free number and get things worked out. Now the date I was given over the phone is further in the future than expected. It will likely be sooner as the practitioner can move things once a date is back in the system. Bureaucratic red tape is frustrating at best. Today went beyond that in my head. <smile>
I pondered the reason behind the policy for making health care appointments as I moved the snow around the driveway. I managed a smile when a song line came to mind that fully explained this conundrum. There have been many covers of this song. I chose one that puts a very different spin on the music and rhythms. Keep safe. Enjoy!
