My to-do list is getting longer. The biggest problem... so many places to call. UGH! I don't know why this feels like such a chore, but I dread making any type of appointment that requires a phone call. Right now on my list: obgyn, dentist, oil change, tire rotation, photographer for family photos. I actually got around to the task on Friday and the first call I made was to my obgyn. They are moving to a new system so they asked if I could call back sometime this week. I took that as a sign to just give up for the day on making calls. When did this become such a chore? Was it when I realized, as a teacher, that my "free" time to make calls during the day was way too limited and a waste of my time? Or when going online and getting things done without actually having to "talk" to someone became easier? Now I feel angry when I have to call instead of doing it online. How sad that this bothers me so much!!!
On the flip side, some good things are happening today... #1 - My husband took the Kit Kats to work so they will not be around tonight to tempt me!!! #2 - My to-do list at school is actually quite minimal. #3 - 4 days until Spring Break and sunshine (I hope sunshine, please let there be sunshine).

So relatable. I don't even like calling walgreens to refill prescriptions. The age of technology has made us princesses... (for the record, I think I was a princess prior to technology, too, but....). Also, who the heck wants to call twice to get into a place like the obgyn??? Pass. Wishing you luck with the rest of your calls. :)

I feel the same way. Wondering about how efficient those online booking sites really are though for hair appts too?

I'm with you. I like things I can schedule online. I have never really enjoyed talking on the phones, so making an appointment always seems like such a burden - especially when you are a teacher.

I blame my children! They hate to call, and it’s running off on me.

I am with you on the phone calls. I have always hated making phone calls even before we could do everything online. I hope you have a wonderful sunny spring break.

My husband can’t get me to call anyone. I don’t know when that happened. I hope you will find sunshine.
