Lolgreens Up, Lol-Mart Down

So I had my assorted body parts put through their paces today. Didn't manage to do bloodwork, since I have stealth veins; I'm pale, so they're visible through my skin, but they're buried deep and have a tendency to roll. There's a limit to how many times I can be stuck before it becomes an exercise in futility, so the nurse gave up and stopped after trying to stick me twice. On the one hand, this means I was spared a huge mound of gauze forming a visible mound under the sleeve of my sweater. On the other, it means they had to write me an order for bloodwork, so I now have to hie me to the lab at some point during the next week or so (if I wait too long, the meds and their effects will be visible in my system).

This ought to meet my deductible for the year.

Also, I am going to cut this next bit for TMI so you can skip it if you don't enjoy listening to WTMI (way too much information, all the time!).

( I love the smell of TMI in the morning. It smells like...victoly. )

In re: the events of yesterday, I don't know how I'm feeling yet. It's going to take a while. I'm not overly worried, though; I'll get there. One Day At A Time or some such.

OH AND ALSO. I am reading The Far Side of the World (Patrick O'Brian) for the first time and omg I am in looooove. I liked the movie (Master and Commander), but the book is just squeeful, and omg I love Aubrey and Maturin and I'm about halfway through and the whole thing is just so awesome for serious.

If you wrote something exactly to my taste, it would be...well, it would be the Iliad, probably, but it would definitely be a historical boys' book with blood and thunder and so on. :D
