Cherry scones!
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

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 can only briefly imagine them rooting around for a vein before I get nauseated.
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

Scooooooones are in the oven. I hope I didn't knead them too long, but they were so gooey!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh gawd. Phlebotomy details could be in sp ider font for me. Skippity skipping merrily through that part of the thread.
askye, I'm glad you are taking a bit of time off. You aren't letting your coworkers down - you are taking care of yourself so that you can give your best efforts when you are there.
