Officially Annoyed.
Oct. 22nd, 2003 10:46 pmI'm officially annoyed at my doctor (I haven't even seen her yet) for postponing my first appointment, which I'd had to wait a month for, without letting me know before I arrived at the office, and without explaining. Since my rescheduled appointment wasn't for three weeks I called around and found a doctor who can see me tomorrow. Hmph.
In happier news, I wrote a new song today. Well, over the last few days, actually, but I wrote the chorus and the melody today, and worked out guitar chords and started working out a mandolin harmony. My fingers are very sore, but I'm pleased with the song.
I'm not sure if I should post it or not, because I want to enter it in one of the OVFF song contests and the rules say "of limited distribution." I'm not sure the internet, even a relatively obscure live-journal, counts as limited.
But I'll put it up after OVFF (this weekend) if someone remembers to remind me.
In other other news, remember I told you a couple of weeks ago that we have a hairy woodpecker in the yard? I was wrong. I looked it up in the bird book and it's a red-bellied woodpecker. I've seen it poking something carefully into a crack in a tree trunk, studying the result from several angles, then removing the something, to re-insert it until it was satisfied. I'm not positive what the something is, but the bird book says red-bellied woodpeckers often store food. Red-bellied woodpeckers have more red on their heads than hairy woodpeckers--and a little dusting of red on their bellies that the book says usually can't be spotted in field conditions.
We also have a downy woodpecker, a female, I think, because I can't see any red on her head. She's a tiny little black-and-white speckled bird with a white belly and she occaisionally pecks and probes on trees in view of the kitchen window. She makes washing the dishes more interesting.
