Once I am ready I let my car warm up.....
I eat my breakfast.....
Once I am finished, I grab my things....
and head to the car (yes, that's my car seat! I am so short!!)....
Once I get to work (at 7am) I get our money bags out of the safe then head over to my desk...
Look at that, the calm before the storm.....
After I print my schedules for the day I grab me a small cup of coffee with two squirts vanilla cream, 2 reg cream, 1 splenda, and fill 'er up with coffee. I usally have one to three small cups every day. By the time I get back to my desk, I usually have a patient come in.
By 8am, this is what my wall begins to look like....
Since I do work at a doctor's office and I can't show you our waiting room with people in it, just imagine every chair filled and have about 2-6 people standing up between the hours of 9:45-11:15 and 1:45-3:15, almost every day.
I usually get a lunch some where around 11:30-11:45, if my patients come on time....
One good thing about my job, is the view....
After I am done checking patients in, I begin to balance. I hate balancing the money. Especially when we have 80+ patients. It can be a daunting task. I usually wrap up my day for patients around 3:30, some where between 4p-6p I get balanced and I can finally leave....
It never fails, I always forget something and I have to go back one last time....
As I back out of the parking lot, I always get the constant reminder I am not a Mom thanks to A's carseat staring me down....
On the way home I usually think about all the shit I should do, despite feeling utterly exhausted. Like, how bad I need to wash my car....
Once I get home I go right to cooking....
Once we are done eating I usually either do something productive (clean, or the likes) or something not so productive (surf blogs, internet, absolutely nothing).
We usually lay down between 9:30-11 and I almost never fall asleep before 11, usually close to 12a-2a. It can make for a long day for sure. But I close my pretty little eyes to head to dream land, just to wake up and do it again the next day.
Today I checked in over 90 patients, it wasn't hell, but very, very fucking busy. i really felt like I was forgetting some one all day long, but I never did, THANK GOD!
So, who's going to wake up with me tomorrow? Doing it alone isn't nearly as fun...

I think I'm going to do one of them.... Perhaps, maybe - Tomorrow!
It sounds like you have a busy day!
This was a fun post to read and I love seeing all the pictures. Now when you talk about the waiting room being full or when you check somebody in, I'll be able to picture it!
The size of that waiting room is sure daunting.
I'm glad the trees make up a bit for the big ol' waiting room. Patients aren't always fun people... I remember that job. Then again some patients are a joy.
I love your CoCo bag and the snazzy steering wheel cover. I hate that a baby seat stares at you day after day. Too bad you can't shove it in the garage for a while.
Very cool! Now, just one question... Where in the world do you live that you have to let your car warm up still?!!
I loved seeing a day in the life of Lissa. :O) Thanks for that.
