Early morning heart appointment seemed like a good idea at 3 PM when I was scheduling it. Not so much when my alarm went off at 4:45 AM this morning.

Nice dark ride to the hospital. Snowing again this morning, but at least the temp was a reasonable 23°F and the wind had yet to really pick up. I was hoping to get away with riding my hybrid, but when I saw the snow on the ground I knew I wouldn't be able to see where the icy patches were and opted to take the winter bike.

Worst part was when I arrived at the hospital at 6 AM I was the first one to arrive at that building. I stood around for about five minutes when a nurse walked in. I told her that I was here for my 6 AM appointment and she said, "I wonder why they scheduled you that early? We don't start any appointments until 6:45." Ugh. I could have slept another 45 minutes, which would have been nice with this mild cold I'm fighting.

They actually worked me in around 6:30 and I was at the office by 7 AM. An hour early, but I didn't really have time to ride home and back to work. I'll just try and take off a little early this afternoon.
