It's late, but I'm in the mood to bake. Should I make a Key Lime pie or cherry scones?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cherry scones!

Then it shall be cherry scones. I was leaning that way, anyway, because I could have them for breakfast.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Scoooooooooooooones. (They're also more fun to say.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty inured to it. They always give up before I want them to. Mostly it doesn't hurt, unless they're going right at the base of the wrist, or in my palm.

yikes! I had one phlebotomist try to keep a blood donation going once who had to jiggle the needle around and I nearly vomited.

The worst part of doing a drug study was when they put in a shunt to do regular draws and they'd tug and wrench at it to open it when the dried blood clogged in the screwtop. Ugh.

Oh, yeah, they wiggle every time. Unless they're going for the jugular, they never hit the vein the first time and have to wiggle, probably withdraw, wiggle, push back in. Once as many as 13 times. Still, when they offer to go intra-muscular I turn them down because the shots just don't last as long. Without the slam of IV, it really doesn't kill the pain. So the wriggling and repoking is worth the extra day or two.
