The nutritionist called today - I missed the phone call because I was getting ready to go out to lunch, but I called her back before we left... This is how the phone call went - *sigh*

Me: Hi, this is Kerri Harrington, you called?
Nutritionist: Yes...I need to schedule your appointment...I don't have anything until next week - how's Thursday sound?
Me: Next Thursday is good...what time?
Nutritionist: No...this Thursday
Me: Oh - you said next week...
Nutritionist: Well, I meant this Thursday...
Me: OK...what time on Thursday and what can I expect at the first appointment?
Nutritionist: 10am. What we'll discuss is Molly's activity level and her diet.
Me: Who is Molly?
Nutritionist: Oh, this isn't *Jennifer Smith*?
Me: Nooooooooo...this is Kerri Harrington.
Nutritionist: Oh...lemme pull your file.
Me: The gestational diabetes...
Nutritionist: New onset diabetes, right?
Me: Close enough.
Nutritionist: OK... see you Thursday.
Me: Wait, Wait, Wait...what can I expect at the first appointment and will I need to bring anything with me?
Nutritionist: Well, we'll cover your diet and create a food plan.
Me: OK...what about the glucometer they said I would have to use?
Nutritionist: We'll set up another appointment after that to teach you how to use it...that we'll schedule after Thursday.
Me: Can't we just do the Glucometer on this Thursday? I won't need instruction on how to use it, just the supplies.
Nutritionist: Well, we'll discuss it Thursday, it shouldn't be a problem...but we'll cover that when we discuss Molly's activity and diet...

This is when I gave up - I don't know if *I* have an appointment or if *Molly* does, but I suppose we'll see Thursday morning.

But as a note to Reedy - I gotta say, if she's as stupid as it sounds, I wouldn't even let her near YOUR Molly! :-) (the canine variety for the rest of you...)
