Pin Cushion

Went to the doctor today, got a prescription for sea-sickness (just in case) and my flu shot. Then had to go off for blood tests and got a less than competent nurse. My arm, which has NEVER proven problematic for blood drawing, apparently wasn't working for her. Six tries later (and a different nurse) and they got what they wanted. Ouch. Now I've got band aides on my hands, both elbows, and wrist. Did I say "ouch" ??

Later in the day I went in for an eye exam and glasses. Because of my age (young as a spring chicken is what they meant I'm sure) I needed to have my pupils dilated to look at the interior structure better. Took hours before I could see again, so I had to nap the time away ;-)

Then off to dinner at the LaSalle Grille as payback for serving on the Rhodes/Marshall/Mitchell committee. Low lights, good for ginormous pupils. Everyone said I looked perpetually excited about the conversation. Fun evening. Now it's time for bed because I have an 8 am final. INHUMAN!!!
