[40/365] This week has been at least three weeks long

Yesterday I said

Tomorrow I am in meetings from 9am until 3:30 and I also have a GP phone appointment at some random time during the day. One hour of those meetings I can sneak out of but the rest I can't easily! So I'm sure this won't be a stressful day at all...

It was actually so stressful almost immediately that I wasn't that stressed about this!

The GP of course called not only while I was delivering training but just as I scrolled down the planning document to where it basically said "next section will be delivered by Erik", that is when the phone rang.

I was so frustrated and tired that I actually asked her if she could call me back in 20 minutes. She seemed surprised (this is something I wouldn't usually do!) but agreed. She's very nice but probably used to her time being more important than that of anyone she talks to.

And she did call me back after precisely 20 minutes! Which wasn't quite enough time for the training to be over but it was enough for me to skip out on the end.

She asked me what kind of training I'd been delivering which was such an unexpected interest in my non-medical life that I was surprised into another honest statement. "It's intersectionality training." That might have surprised her, but at least she didn't ask what it was, heh.

The appointment was kind of exhausting -- at least both diffrentcolours and mother_bones could sit there with me; D helped on the call and MB just was happily supportive and commiserated afterwards. I'm trying brain drugs again finally.

Tomorrow I'm doing a weird site visit for work.

Thanks! I don't think these ones will work, but I hope yours do!
