setting small goals

This week has been a week of getting stuff done! This means doing research on new doctors and calling a bunch of people.

I think I've mentioned before how much I hate calling people! I hate it!

Yesterday or this morning...I can't remember anymore...my coworker told me she thought I was talking to myself when I was on the phone. I rarely talk on the phone. Email is my preferred way to do business. I also hate, hate, hate making personal calls while at my desk. I can hear everyone else when they have personal calls and I eavesdrop....I don't want nosy people listening to my conversations.

So I've been so proud of myself for making phone calls this week. One was to the dentist. Those evil evil people tried to bill me $600. They didn't have my new insurance card. Taken care of!

Today I called Walgreens to get my prescription filled earlier than the autofill date. I was expecting this whole ordeal but it was super easy and fast.

I called my mommykins. She's the easiest to call because I call her once or twice a week. I had to ask her about camping. For my 30th I decided I wanted to go on a family camping trip. The weekend of the 23rd we'll head to Madera Canyon. My parents have been so excited and my mom invited my aunt and uncle along. They had asked what my mom was planning to do for her 60th birthday which is on the 26th. On Sunday, when I called my mom she told me that my aunt would bring my grandmother too and would probably stay in a cabin. I got the impression from that phone call that my mom wanted to stay in cabin now too. I have to admit I was pretty bummed my plans were changed so today I decided to call my mom again and figure out what exactly my parents would be doing that weekend. Turns out my parents are fine with staying in tents but my mom is happy that there are cabins nearby for the other family members.

I also called my brother....ugh...this was the hard one. My brother and I have grown apart over the years and I've been trying to make the effort to call him every once and a while. I had emailed him about a family event and the response from the emails have been somewhat hard to figure out. Being a girl, I over analyze everything and then I feel like I said something wrong and I offended him and now he hates me. So for the past couple weeks I've had this nagging feeling. Today while starting to write that last blog I took my own advice and I called my brother. It wasn't that bad! We talked for a little bit but I hung up the phone feeling a lot better.

Communication is always the key but damn that phone!
