In the waiting room

I've found that although I despise it when anyone makes me wait for them, even a medical doctor, the best way to make the time go by quickly is to bring along reading or a knitting project. Most people seem to occupy themselves with their cellphones in the waiting room, but I try to go low-tech over the summer. I arrived at 3.30pm for my appointment yesterday, right on time, armed with both a book and some knitting, and thankfully so, because the nurse didn't call me in until almost 4.45pm. I would have most likely been furious if I didn't have my knitting with me to keep me occupied and happy for over an hour. As it was, I even greeted the nurse and doctor with a big smile and friendly hello as if the last hour of my life was as irrelevant to me as it was to them. I made such good progress on the knitting that I can even see myself finishing the long-neglected project by the end of this week!
