Visiting The Vampire

I had fasting blood work done this morning... Not my favorite thing to do. I have postponed this for 2 months and was supposed to do it yesterday morning.... but we had a movie night on Wednesday and watched Star Trek (it was a really good flick) and my hubby offered me pretzels.... And I partook of them.... I knew I shouldn't but I did.... I knew I wouldn't be able to do the blood work but I didn't care... I didn't want to do it anyway. However, the problem is that my doctor won't refill my prescription without it so eventually I have to get it done... Today was the day.

I had a little panic this morning.... I was having a cup of coffee, just enjoying everything about my morning elixir of life... And panic... My blood work... Then I heard my hubby reminding me about my appt... Oh, I have to get up.  I was dreaming... I can't believe how real it seemed.  Probably because I went to bed hungry. My son had a track meet and it ran long... But the kids did great.  For such a small team we had a strong showing... scored some points, first in some races, set a new school record, and had many PRs.  So it was worth waiting... But I had only eaten a yogurt at 4:30 so I was hungry- very hungry when I went to bed.... 

Right now I am enjoying a bagel, and a cup of coffee, and some wonderful dark chocolate covered almonds... It only took a few minutes to draw my blood and the ladies in the office are very nice... I wish I liked the Dr. better.... It's not that I don't like her- she is nice but I feel like a piece of meat, a specimen, a number,  I don't know... I just hate going to the Dr.  I hate getting my blood pressure checked... It makes my blood pressure go up... And then she is writing that number on my chart and it is not accurate because that's not my normal number... It is a vicious cycle... Maybe if I didn't dislike it so much it would be better but ... I don't know... I don't like going to the dentist either... but that is for another day.

So next Friday she will see me to tell me my results and refill my prescription and look at me like a accident waiting to happen.  I may have a glass of vino before I go.... No, I won't, but I will think about it and laugh to myself.  Awe, well, there is much to do today.  Laundry, cleaning, and working on Super Secret Surprise #1,  SSS#2 is underway as well.  Accomplishing a few things around here will keep me from thinking too much about my husbands meeting.... Yesterday went ok, but things are still up in the air...  God is in control. So I will not worry, but there will be fall out... 

What the heck- maybe we should sell everything, buy a camper, travel and be at home on the road.... Doesn't sound like a bad idea.  Retirement sounds good...
