1 is the Loneliest Number That You’ll Ever Do …

Thursday is a great day to do that 1 thing you don’t want to do but also don’t want to continue thinking about doing.

The thing I really should do is go to my stupid health insurance webpage and find a stupid doctor to take care of a small but annoying problem. It’s the kind of problem that surfaced LAST YEAR just before my family’s 7-week Great Escape and I waited for it to go away on its own as we made our way through two or three different countries, until I finally limped into a Spanish hospital and begged for help. A punctual, kind, and handsome, though sadly not very English-speaking, doctor gave me a temporary fix, and then said I’d need to get real attention once I returned to the States.

Of course, I didn’t. Now that it’s summer again the problem is getting harder to ignore. I hate bureaucracy and the thought of maybe having to have surgery (!) and not being able to walk (!!) so I just keep putting it off. But. Today I will change all that. Today I will find and call a doctor. Today I will DO 1 THING.

How about you?
