A very poke-y few days, this weekend.
Not since pre-pandemic times has my right arm encountered so many needles in such a short amount of time.
It all started early Friday morning with some bloodwork I'd been meaning to get around to. Things were going smoothly until my veins decided to play hide and seek. It took several minutes, two technicians, and two needles in two different parts of my arm to get the desired results. All the while, I'm in a chair, arms flexed and adrenaline pumping, freaking out over everything from poor circulation, to cold hands, to the drop of blood poking out of the first entry site. Too early in the morning, maybe? Everything ended up fine though, and I swung by McDonald's for some breakfast too.
The next morning was flu shots scheduled for my Dad and I. The practice our family doctor works out of holds an excellent clinic (very strange thing to say...) and adapted it well for the pandemic. Anticipating icky feelings over the weekend, I cued up a couple new releases on Netflix to watch while I convalesced.
Fortunately, I had no ill side affects, but chose to have a lazy weekend at home anyway. Three days, one bag of Doritos, eight episodes of season one of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, nine of season four of The Dragon Prince (both recommended), and a blast of nice, warm, Summery weather too!
Cheers
