Just fine. None the worse for wear.

Yesterday was a strange day in clinic. Nearly every patient scheduled for the morning session no-showed. But there was a rush of people walking in hoping for a stand-by appointment. So I was kept pretty busy. Then, in the afternoon, more no-shows from the scheduled patients, but almost no stand-bys to take their places.

It was like:

Friday morning - "Got to get to the clinic before they close for the weekend!..."

Friday afternoon - "Eh, I'm blowing off my appointment and starting the weekend early!..."
