I think at least once I got booted for bleeding too slow
This was threatened to me once. When I confirmed they could neither use the less-than-sufficient amount of blood or return it to me if I let them stop then, I had it keep running and, by sheer force of will (and/or squeezing the stress ball thingy fast) finished in the allotted time. They also recommended hydration to avoid the problem in future.
sj, I'm a little late to the party, but you are sweet and smart and made of awesome. Any person who wouldn't want to be your friend is probably not that bright and not worth the bother.
So glad your new "roommate" is working out so well, Cass.
Otter cafe beats stroller owls.
A high bar, indeed!
Much job~ma to all of you in newly precarious situations. It's sucks so much.
It's so good to hear that Matilda is doing so well. Like Laura said, I still think of my mom and wish I could share things with her, and I was presumably much better equipped to handle the loss at 46 than Matilda at 16. I hope she really gets a lot out of this amazing experience.
I had a "regular" doctor appointment today, optometrist. Thankfully, my eyes seem to have settled back down after the huge drop they took after my hyperbaric chamber treatments. Even though I didn't really need them since my Rx hasn't changed, I went ahead and ordered new glasses - figured I might as well get value out of my vision insurance. By some miracle I managed to find frames I really liked for $159 - of which my insurance covers $150. I decided to give transitionals a try this time. I've always avoided them because I remember that friends in HS who had them pretty much always had some degree of dark lenses. But I have been assured that the technology has come a long way since 1988. We shall see.
