Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

It'll be in the 90s here for the next couple of days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I can taunt you because we just have cold rain! Ha HA!

Which reminds me, I scheduled a mammogram for today after work, and the instruction say not to wear deodorant or perfume. Should I really go all day with no deodorant? I guess I'll be inside an air-conditioned office, not out in the heat, but still.

And that reminds me: after I made the appointment the system tells me to be there 10 minutes before my appointment time. I feel pretty strongly that my appointment time should be the time I need to be there and they should make the scheduling work for that. Doesn't seem that hard. I'm glad I didn't cut it close and pick the time that I could barely get to, because I wouldn't have been able to make 10 minutes early, that's for sure.

Well, it wasn't a sustained flurry, so we're at least dry.

Fitbit owners, I am interested. Any preference of one style over the other?

-t, when I went they gave me a wet wipe thing to take off my deodorant. Then they apparently had some I could put back on, but I forgot. And it was fine... Also, I think they always say get there early and it's generally crap.

Oh, good!

I will be able to get there early, I just think that's a bad system/policy. But last time I went to this lab they were very nice and quick and generally not too uncomfortable (although not the full on spa-like atmosphere Kat reported), so I shouldn't complain.

NEWSFLASH: rabbits like radish greens. I just gave them a sample, because I may eat them myself, but I decided they could have all the carrot tops from this CSA delivery. Happy bunnies.

At my mammography last summer, the stickers they put on your boobs were pastel-colored and had cartoon flowers on them.

Stickers? Spa-like? They didn't even give me a gown!

There's that Canadian healthcare the Right is always warning us about.
