Blood Work on Valentine's Day


I got up at 7am on a saturday morning to go to the blood center to give more blood. I sign in then I am given what tasted like sprite without the bubbles to drink. Then I am told to wait for an hour then they can take my blood. It was for a glucose reading so the spirit tasting stuff I guess helps them read what they are looking for.  Also I was told that I was not allowed to eat the night before or the morning of.  

The nurse gives me my usual baby needle to take the blood. I hate pain. Boy do I got a lot of pain a head of me but I am TRYING not to think about it.  The nurse also tells me about how exciting it is for a woman to have a little girl. She told me that her daughter is her best friend. I feel the same way about my mom so I hope Skyla sees me the same.

I go back home and crawl back into bed with Maurice. We sleep til 1pm (I never sleep that late).  I tried to get up and felt dizzy instantly. Maurice told me to lay back down and he brought me crackers and water.  So maybe the spirit stuff had some effect on me also I had not eaten since 7pm the night before.  After another 2 hours I was able to get up and eat food. 

The rest of our Valentine's day was spent watching the All Star activities and then going to Ketchup for drinks and light food with friends.
