Monday Blahs

Mondays blow. Mondays that are rainy and cold blow even more. Mondays that are cold and rainy and I have to get blood drawn....well....REALLY blow.

Yep, I had blood drawn this morning. I don't mind needles a bit. But my veins are notoriously impossible to find. I warn people every time. Luckily the nurse took heed of my warning today. She tried one arm and decided to send me to the lab across the hall to someone who draws blood all the time. She got it in one try on the back of my hand (to my great surprise). Now, many of you are probably saying, "ouch!" But really, the back of the hand is way less painful than someone digging around multiple times on each arm before giving up and trying the hands, only to fail there and move to the top of my arm. Yep, that's been my fortune before. So today, when I only had one bad attempt, I was overjoyed! Bruised, but overjoyed.

Now if only my cholesterol test comes back as good (not holding my breath).
