Hi everyone! I hope everyone is loving the holiday's this year! Won't be long until 2014 will be here! Anyways, I just wanted to share a little story that amused me.
----
I haven't been home for four months, so I am trying to squeeze appointments in before Christmas arrives. I received a phone call from the doctor's office and this is how the conversation went....
The phone assistant - "Good afternoon my name is Lisa calling from Dr. Murphy's office."
Me - "Oh yes. Hi!"
The phone assistant - "How are you?"
Me - "Good, good. How are you?"
The phone assistant - "Good thanks. I am calling because I would like to see if we could move your appointment time around? Dr. Murphy has an emergency appointment after you."
Me - "Oh yes, what time?"
The phone assistant - "How does 2:45pm sound? Your appointment would be earlier than the time you are scheduled for as of now."
Me- **oh cool I have a haircut appointment right after** "Sure! That work better for me actually." **oh wait... That's later? I was scheduled for 2:15 before**
The phone assistant - "Great! Thank--"
Me - "Is that earlier you said?"
The phone assistant - "Yes! It will be earlier"
Me - "Oh....Okay..!" **I'm confused...haha**
So then I talked to my mom on the phone the next day, and told her the time, and I told her that I was confused because she told me it was earlier, but it was really later. My mom then called the next morning to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding.... She called and told me my appointment is at 1:00pm, not 2:45pm. I misunderstood her. I seriously SWEAR I heard 2:45pm. Sometimes I think to myself... I KNOW I heard differently. I think It is so weird when this happens to me.
Usually I am able to understand when I don't understand. The most common situation where I can see my APD is when I am in a noisy place trying to hear the person or people I am with, or when I am talking to someone and get confused because they are talking too fast and my brain just can't process it. That stuff I can pick out quite quickly.
But when I SWEAR I heard something else, I am completely stumped! It just makes me laugh because I know I am wrong... Haha. You just gotta laugh sometimes! APD makes my life humorous, and I gotta say IT'S GREAT!

I hope you enjoyed my little APD story! Happy Holidays everyone! Be safe, and enjoy!
