Success!... only the exact opposite

I woke up this morning later than planned and had to scramble to get ready. I took a shower before I went to bed last night, but unforeseen events early this morning caused me to have to take another one so I wasn’t sticky for my yearly physical appointment at 10AM. I was in the truck before 9 so although I was still half asleep I felt triumphant to have gotten everything done on time.

The physical was uneventful. My chest and abdominal x-rays were clean, BP was 130 over 80, and my EKG was perfect. The blood work results will take a few days to come back and the doctor’s office is working on approvals for MRIs of my shoulder and rib cage air bubble issue.

When I walked out of the doctor’s office I was greeted by sun filled sky and 75 degree temps. I called a few people on my ride to the office and was feeling pretty good… until the battery died in the e-cig  and I realized that in my rush to get out of the house I forgot a few things. I didn’t take my medication or my vitamins. I forgot the meeting egg timer AND I forgot to take the e-cig’s extra battery and / or charger. I remembered the go-go juice refills, but forgot an equally important component. You can’t smoke a real cig without a way to light it and you can’t smoke an e-cig with a dead battery. HELP! help! Help help HEELLLPPPP!! My recovery is in jeopardy.
