Update on the consult
Jun. 2nd, 2010 01:05 pmSitting in Starbucks in Phoenix, Arizona, waiting until it is time to go to the hospital for my consultation with Dr. Meltzer. It's nice out, here in Scottsdale. A nice warm 32ºC. But hot and DRY, which is the way I like it.
Stupid me managed to forget all of my paperwork back at home! :( Luckily, it just means I'm going to have to arrive early and fill it all out again. It also means my therapist letter is at home, but she should have faxed that in, so it shouldn't be a problem. Worst case, I won't be able to get my date today.
Incidentally, it turns out that I don't have a grasp on Fahrenheit anymore. We looked up the temperature for Phoenix last night and saw that it was 84ºF out here last night.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
parmonster and I looked at that number and couldn't figure out if that was warm, hot, or what. We mused on what 84º feels like for a while, figuring that it was probably pretty warm, while she looked for the button to show the value in Celsius. When she clicked it, and we saw 29ºC, we yelped in surprise. "That's HOT for night time!" we both exclaimed.
It's just kinda funny. I grew up with Fahrenheit, but I've stopped using it for so long now that I can barely remember what the various values feel like anymore. I know 100º is hot, 40º is cold, and 60º-70º is warm, but that's about all I remember. I don't remember *at all* what the 80s and 90s feel like, and I don't have much fidelity in comprehending the 60-70 range. It's just kinda neat.
Anyways, we're going to head into the consult with Dr. Meltzer in about an hour. Wish me luck!
