I'm cooking a pound of bacon and have a 20oz coffee I'm bringing to the blood draw. hopefully I don't break down and eat it before I get there. right after they pull that out, the grease will flow in. And I nicked myself shaving this morning so I know there's blood.

Needles and me are a bad combo. Anytime I have to get a shot, I almost hit the floor. Funny because I worked in the medical field and this stuff never bothered me doing it to other people but when it is done to me, I want to pass out.

There was a guy in the grade behind me that was performing his first blood draw ( he was the one drawing the blood) and passed out landing face first and knocked out his two front teeth.

SO I gave up last night. The site doesn't seem to work a lot. and you press post and nothing happens. press it again and nothing happens. then suddenly there's a double post. or you have to close the web page after you press post, and it will show a post. Starting to have slow posts this morning too.

The same thing happened to me yesterday. During the day I was quite busy doing things around the house, but at night I try to login to say hello and show that I had made some corn fritters, and after several attempts I gave up.

Good morning and happy monday everyone! Sorry about my inactivity on the weekends! Usually I get busy or distracted with everything else and I end up not being super active on here, haha. Should be a pretty good day for our house! Another day of rock climbing for me, Making home made sloppy joes tonight, and get to be at home with River and Alycia!

Hope everyone has an awesome start to their week today! Let's all go into today changing the lives of those around us, and having fun today!

I go down to the basement every morning to check on my tank. I saw this for the first time. It must have come in on the TBS live rock. I use a flashlight in the mornings since the lights aren't on. The goni is still 'asleep'.
