My daughter has renewed her determination to be more faithful with her blog. I have MUCH more time than she has so why don't I do it? Maybe because she has something important to say but why should I let that hamper me, right?
Today was another wait in the doctors office which always makes me ponder. There's just nothing else to do. Why do people talk very soft in a crowded office? Doesn't it just make you want to listen harder to see what they are saying? Then there's the couple that doesn't care who hears them and even the occupants of the next doctors office can hear. Why does the whispered conversation seem more interesting? Today the loud couple were discussing pizza. It was all I could do to not join in. The only thing that was not discussed was which pizza place had the bargain pizza for $3.50 and "today is MONDAY, you get TWO". Wow, talk about cardboard. That must really be cardboard. Parts of the conversation were on whether pepperoni or sausage was better.... then, too, just plain cheese was good. "Mother likes pepperoni but only if its included in the sale... no wait, I better go call her to make sure..." Minutes later this conversation continues with him asking her to write down what mother likes. He was right that she likes pepperoni. She, on the other hand would prefer hamburger. I'm sitting there thinking this can't go on much longer but it does. Price is discussed... He paid for their lunch so it was decided that She would buy the bargain pizza. No, mother will pay for hers. She says she's having a hard time thinking about the pizza cause she's so full from their big lunch, that HE bought. You're thinking this conversation is about over but nope.... he thinks "Sue might like a pizza, too. " Maybe he should go call her and see. They must not have arrived in the new tech age where everyone uses a cell phone so he leaves again. Yes, Sue wants one. She says she can eat it later in the evening or maybe even for breakfast. They warm up pretty good if you cook them slow in the microwave. Why don't more of the pizza places have such bargains? I'm thinking how can you say all this and not mention WHERE the place is... o.k. back to the subject...you can't buy a frozen pizza for that price. Diogorno makes a good pizza but its over $5.00 for the smaller one. "Have you ever tried the stuffed crust variety"? OMG, it is so good. Would you believe I can't remember the other brand that was mentioned???? AND discussed?
While this conversation is going on ... and ON... other people are quietly sitting reading magazines and minding their own business. What are the other people thinking? Some can't hear well enough to be a part of it. This I know because the nurse has to yell their names. Its such a quiet atmosphere for the most part with only short sudden bursts.. MR JOHNSON!!
I guess they figure since its a heart doctors office they will give you a little jolt for the heart to keep you moving. EVeryone always turns and watches the lucky person move inside the magic door. Once inside that door the activity level changes and there is a glimmer of hope that you won't be spending your next hour within those walls. There are always little surprises inside those walls that keep you on your toes. Sudden hospital visits tend to make you a little more cautious about blindly heading down that hall. Inside the rooms is total silence. Where's the couple with the pizza when you really want to waist a little more time????
Tomorrow's thought: Shopping at Walmart!!!!!
