shots and needles
Feb. 24th, 2009 02:24 pmMy appointment was at the unseemly hour of 8am this morning. It was fortunate I left half an hour early, as I've forgotten what rush traffic is like. I walked with my doctor a bit about baking pies, our least favorite sounds and my general state of being. (My doctor's least favorite sound is the sound of people vomiting, which I find funny.) My blood pressure was good - 110/70. He gave me a tetanus booster, as well as one for whooping cough. Apparently it has run around Texas with a vengeance. The shot was remarkably brief and the prick was tiny. Hours later my arm is quite sore though, and lifting stuff is agony. Stupid shots. The lab took vials and vials of blood, so I have cotton balls and band aids on both arms. After the last absurdity of pissing in a cup, I was free to go.
Since it was just after 9am, the traffic was still thick. I drove over to the nearby HEB to fill my prescriptions. My doctor and I talked about how my antidepressants probably make it hard to lose to weight. My choice is fat and relatively sane, or thinner and crazy. Well then. I'll take sanity, plzkthnx. I wandered the store and picked up a few things that were healthy. Apples, oranges, dried papaya, couscous... I managed to kill another hour. Blearily I drove myself home. That feeling of sleep deprivation, lack of caffeine, vague hunger and thirst made me feel a bit delirious. I climbed into bed and slept on and off for a couple hours.
There's plenty of housework I could and should be doing right now, but eh. I feel blah. I'm going to eat some walnuts and read the news until work starts. The DVR is almost filled, so I think it will be an Iron Chef marathon until some space clears out.
Yesterday I picked up a package at the post. It was my awesome green sundress from this eBay seller hiso1956. I love it. It is exactly the kind of dress I've wanted for ages and never found. I feel like I could parachute in this, there's so much fabric to the skirt. Whee. (It's actually this dress) I was skeptical about the 'one size fits all' but it really does. Yay.
