blood draw this am, mostly because I haven't had it done in years (9, to be exact) because I am not a friend of the needles. So very much not.
I have Something to keep me calm. Which means I shouldn't be posting on the internet. Or doing any kind of work that involves spelling. Hoping for a highly competent tech and all-normal results. But especially the competent tech.
(If you have a wish to share awful blood draw stories, can you soxfont them? I have enough of my own already.)
Wishing everyone a good morning, with or without drugs.
Also mad-making: pledge drive week started and my feet are cold.
I hope your tests are non-traumatic and boring, Sox.
Off to class again. Blearg.
Here's to the great and painless phlebotomists out there, and may one of them work on Sox!
I personally have found it useful to wiggle my toes in rhythmic patterns (like 1-left, 1-right, 2-left, 2-right, both big toes, then repeat) which takes up a surprising amount of concentration from The Unpleasantness Elsewhere.
Hope it's done by now, Sox!
I am up bright and early to go to the airport.
Good luck, Sox.
I apparently forgot to set the alarm last night but still woke up at 5:20 ( about when I was supposed to). I have mixed feelings about that.
Done! Tech was great. I didn't pass out. And then DH took us through a car wash which was predictably hilarious.
Argh -- the subway was all jacked up, so it took me 20 extra minutes to get to work this morning, and then I came in to a reminder of something I was supposed to do on Monday! Bah.
At least it is sunny. If freezing outside, but my office is mostly heated by the sun, it seems, so at least I am warm in here for now.

All good! I love going through the car wash to celebrate.
Things leaving my house.
Yesterday - a 3-ring binder to my committee co-chair at church.
Today - 6 colored wine bottles that I was keeping to put in bottle tree. (this is not a project that needs to happen now and I can always drink more wine. MOAR WINE!)
SO WHOOT!! I am on this.
Performance review in a few minutes. I already know that a) the primary person I support won "MVP" for the organization last night and b) my bonus is getting paid out at 300% of target. I think I may need to do some celebrating. (And I'm still not happy with my overall score...)
