I need a planner... srsly

I had a really embarrassing moment today.

As I'm getting ready to meet up with my key spouse to go with her to her son's T-ball game (to observe for my term paper) my home phone rings. I answer and the conversation goes as followed:

Man: I'm looking for Laura (my last name)
Me: Speaking.
Man: This is So&so from (hospital). You missed an appointment today so we need to reschedule.
Me: What? What appointment?
Man: The consult put in by (my new PCM) with (doctor name I don't recognize).
Me: I don't recall making that appointment. What was it for?
Man: Stress management.
Me: That is supposed to be with mental health.
Man: This is mental health.
Me: Well that appointment isn't until tomorrow.
Man: No ma'am, it was today.
Me: But it was for Friday.
Man: Today is Friday.
Me: *facepalm* Oh, my God! *hysterical laugher* I feel like an idiot! I am soooo sorry!
Man: It's okay, ma'am. We need to reschedule.
Me: Can I call back when I figure out what is going on.
Man: Sure. Are you thinking of hurting yourself or anyone else.
Me: ... No. (Thinking wtf?)
Man: Okay, call back whenever and reschedule.

I didn't know until later that at mental health they have to ask that question so I was like geez, just because I'm crazy and don't know what is going on in my life doesn't mean I'm a suicidal homicidal maniac. lol I feel like such a jackass though. I really hope my husband doesn't get in trouble for that.

Obviously it is ultimately my responsibility but in my defense I told them when they called the first time (on Monday last week) that I was in the middle of a really important school paper and I wanted to make the appointment for after it was completed and that was when we scheduled it. Then they call back on Tuesday this week and tell me I can't have that appointment and that their only afternoon appointment was this Friday. So it was short notice and I was trying to do all my observations this week so I totally spaced. Ugh... I'm going to call them on Monday and let them know I'm scheduling it after my term paper is done because school is my #1 priority.

So anyway, Sunday Michelle and Gian and some of their friend's and I are going out to Hachinohe for the Nebuta festival. I'm really excited about it. I'll have to take lots of pictures. I will post them when I can. I'm going to force myself to sleep so I can adjust my schedule because apparently mental health is only open for appointments at freakin 8am. :s So g'night.
