Blood...*squirm*

Anything related to blood always makes me a tad squeamish. Had a doctor's appointment today and she brought up the fact that I should get a ? test done for this year and to visit the lab down the hall after our appointment. I tried to get out of it by saying that I get that test done only once every two years and not every year. Ok, that failed.

Had to suck it up and visit the freezing lab room where stacks of empty vials, waiting to be filled with red viscous fluid, were flauntingly visible to the timid. Ok, I'm pretty terrified about getting my blood drawn and I probably looked it too because the lab technician was very cheerful and constantly assured me that he was going to look out for me. The man is amazing! The needle made a small jab and before I knew it, he had already filled six vials. (I came to the same room, same technician last time and he was also very very cool.) This time he rewarded me with a Daffy Duck band-aid and a can of orange juice. :)
