How I fucked up my schedule for the day

Published on September 3, 2026 at 2:41 p.m.

This morning, I woke up to my alarm to get to a chiropractor appointment an hour away. Ah yes, the joys of living in a small town means traveling for almost all obligations and shopping. I got all of the animals fed at home (2 dogs, cat, bearded dragon, 2 chickies and bunny); got my shit together, said goodbye to my boyfriend and headed out the door. Once I got to the car I thought to myself "Huh, I don't think I received a confirmation text reminding me of my appointment today." I checked my messages; nothing, I checked my email; nothing. I called the office and explained that I had booked an appointment online, but then also signed up for the waitlist for a later appointment. To my surprise, I guess adding myself to the waitlist; removed my original appointment, so I circled the block and drove back home. My boyfriend was rather surprised when I got home so promptly. Needless to say, I'll be double checking my bookings from now on; but thank God I realized before making the hour long trek. Mom brain for the win!
