Checking In: Physical Goal Day: Call the Dr.

I'm just guessing most people are like me and don't like going to the doctor or dentist. I wonder why that is. Probably because we associate them with pain and sickness. I wonder what we would think about them if we went for regular "maintenance" check ups. Think about a nice, luxury car. Do you only change the oil after it's been years and years and that luxury car has now started to sputter? Or do we change the oil regularly so it will run smoothly and efficiently for a long time? I know we would do better if we had regular maintenance check ups with our doctors and dentists. I guess I've just been waiting for "the mom" to make the appointment and tell me when I'm going. I guess it's time I acted responsible and make my own regular appointments.

Sigh.  I hate growing up.

Well, onto my goal report.

I'm very happy to report I've already accomplished my goal of calling the dentist this week. The reason I've been putting it off, well the main reason, is I've needed to find a new dentist and I like finding new doctors and dentists about as much as I like a poke in the eye. But I did it. I found someone, who is accepting new patients, and can actually get me in next week and I think I'll like him. So I'm happy about that. I'm sure I won't be happy when I hear the word "cavity" but such is life I guess.

How are you doing on reaching your goal? Have you made that dreaded appointment yet?
