Facial PT set for April 8
« on: March 09, 2010, 01:54:33 pm »
I have an appointment to see Renee Ivens at Washington University on April 8. I can't believe she had an opening that day when I have to go to St. Louis anyway to pick up my eldest daughter who will be coming home from study abroad in Panama that afternoon. Even better, the appointment is at 11:00 so I can drop off my other two at school and get to St. Louis in plenty of time.

Woo hoo!

Sara ~

Serendipity is wonderful when it happens, and I'm glad it happened for you.  I wish you a productive, successful PT session next month.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Sara,
WOO HOO is right! How convenient! (thanks God :) )
It's like killing 3 birds with one stone!
1.send kids to school
2. pick up child from study abroad
3. have important appointment.
What more could you ask for? :) OK, ask that the plane is not delayed, and they don't change your appt time :)
