“There are “PARTIES” and then there are Parties???”

Apr 4th “There are “PARTIES” and then there are Parties???”

“WOW!” “What a wonderful day – – – today was so busy and ended up to being a “RED-LETTER DAY” in the “Book of Aldrich!”

In today’s world – you have to make a “Doctor’s appointment so far in advance – and then when you start to check your calendar – you find that you are over-booking some pretty important things to do – in your own “LIFE” – and you find that you must “PRAY for GUIDANCE “– because – this time schedule – it is set!

The Doctor’s appointment was a must have. To cancel and move the appointment to a different date – would end up with me hardly even – able to move – and – or me to just be a “Sour-Puss” because – I would be in just too much “pain” to be able to enjoy – that which later – in this day – would be the biggest of big – “Happy FAMILY” celebrations! These events should be celebrated for at least a full week – like they did in “days of ole!”

The day did not start off very well at all – my “RIDE” picked me up and left me at the DOCTOR”S Office – and then – would be back to pick me up at 11:15 a.m.. Then getting me home – since – I had important plans – for later in the day – and since I was at the Doctor’s at 9:30 a.m. – and – still waiting in the “WAITING” room and lots of the patients – coming in later than me – are being seen by the DOCTOR and on their way out! “WHY?” My name was not called – it was just as if nobody knew – that I had an appointment – and I was being entirely over-looked???

The “pressure” was building up – inside of me – and I just could not continue to just sit there – so I went up to ask the “In-take” person – “What time do you have me down for – for today’s appointment?” Her reply was “YOU will be seen next, your appointment was for 10:00 a.m. – You are next!” Two more “other” patients were called and went in to be seen by the DOCTOR! Well, this – I could not take – so there I was – waiting patiently while the “in-take” person turn to me after finishing the her telephone call – as she looked up at me – I had to start in, “It is after 10:30 a.m. – And I have someone coming to pick me up at 11:15 a.m. – there just is no way – you are going to be able to NOW fit me in for my appointment – which is suppose to include an x-ray!?” “I may as call my “RIDE” and leave – if I am only going to sit here?” – “I’m ringing the Doctor’s assistant – she will be here any minute!”

So, I move myself over – to the door where the patients go in – to be seen by the Doctor – a couple of patients who were done – were coming out the door to leave the office – and I continue to stand there – my blood pressure was going up – as I hate to even go to the DOCTORS – and then for this appointment – it was going all wrong – and this is the first time and day –that this type of a delay has ever happen to me – something was all wrong??

The nurse came to the door and called my name – “That’s me” – so – I follow her to a room – and she said someone would be to see me – and it was the x-ray technician – – – – x-ray done and ushered to another room – when someone else came in and took some info – – received a call – had to leave the room. I felt so bad that I had said anything at all – as it is FRIDAY – the day that Jesus Christ was put on the cross and – here I am with “pain” – but nothing like He had to suffer – and nothing at all like some many other people in this world are suffering daily – and they are not complaining – I just then had to ask the Almighty Yahweh, to forgive me and my little pity party – as it is a sad case for me – when I think it is too bad – for poor old me – when – everyday in my daily readings in the BIBLE – I read – that we only have temporary sufferings here – but there will be a day to come – we will receive and enjoy eternity with HIS “JOY and HAPPINESS” and that is in the “BOOK” and will be forever.

Shorty, after my having asked for forgiveness – I felt as if the rest of the day would be what the Almighty wanted for me to really enjoy – and now I realize that things in this world are not to go my way –but for me to do HIS WAY – and then I will know I am doing what I should be doing. – – The Doctor came in and after talking with her and the “short in the knee”– I almost feel like – – that “eighteen year-old – that lives – trapped inside – this old bag of bones” is learning another lesson on her journey in LIFE –to be content and then enjoyment will follow.

“WOW!” – “That’s just exactly what happened!” – If you know what “D.V.” stands for???- then in the next day or two – I’ll have more to write and with PHOTOS!”
