For a second I thought I got him, right color, wrong shrimp and wrong size. I keep forgetting I have peppermint shrimp in there. Mantis shrimp 7 and Kevin 0.

Ahhh... good times. I could never adjust to working nights. Many moons ago, I worked nights for about 6 months in the ICU and I swear I aged 15 years. I found a day position in the ICU at a different hospital and haven't worked nights since.

I’ve had two stints with it. The first time it was just over 19 yrs and this time I’m going into my 3rd year. Normally it’s mostly ok sleep wise but screwing up the days like that threw my system up topsy turvy

Leaving to get blood work, kinda nervous because I’ve been feeling off all week. Supposed to go to Fragginstein in Cleveland with my boys Saturday. It’s all they have been talking about all week and I don’t want to trade it for a hospital bed. 🤞

I admit to being apprehensive every morning as to what I will see in my quarantine tank. Today the Pyramid Pumba is good. Parameters are in range. If this continues I will be taking him to his new home in the next couple weeks.

Well wishes for your little guy

I proxied for a guy once in college when I needed some money. He got tagged for DUI and had to serve a day in jail. I used his ID and went in his place. Made $50.00. Maybe you can get a proxy for the blood work?

Good luck Kev and hope you get encouraging results.
