THE CLOSER
MAJOR CRIMES
And the word of the day is: CRINOSE!
The lab work this morning was NOT a pleasant experience. I have to have my blood drawn every month, and usually it is not a big deal. But this morning, the lab technician could not get any blood. I guess I am now a zombie.
He inserted the needle about 12 different times in many different places before he could get a sample. Painful! I now have bandages all over. :P

How to answer your phone like Dorothy Parker.
Or DR elmore3003. :)
Am I being clueless this morning (as opposed to all the other mornings), or is something missing here?
Blood work results are excellent
Thank y'all for vibes for the cat. Blood work results are excellent -- just a little high on the kidney enzymes, a change that's practically unheard of, considering she was at death's door on November 30th last year. The administering of fluids will continue at twice per week, and we'll check those enzymes every three months or so.

So I came across this photo of DR MBarnum's last New Year's Eve party and I am shocked, I tell you, absolutely shocked.
And a nice home-cooked dinner...

That sounds very nice, DR Ginny! What time should we drop by? -- I mean, if we happen to be in the neighborhood.
Another hellish No 7 bus ride, and I am home.

Hellish...for you, or the other riders?
DR John, both books were Oprah pics:

"It's not just a book, it's a life experience," trumpeted Oprah about her selection, I Know This Much Is True. Faithful readers familiar with her phenomenally successful book club read Wally Lamb's stunning debut novel, She's Come Undone, back in February, 1997.
Happy Birthday to
Former DR JoseSPiano!

I am not shocked so much as embarrassed...at how badly that my rug clashes with my wall paper!

I thought a lot of Oprah's selections back then were "victim books."

Frying food with air instead of with oil - what will they think of next?

Thanks, DR Jane - and all you DRs! Alas, you don't get told which technician you will get when you make the appointment.
Precious had to get a Buzz Cutt. She is not happy.

Ouch. I suggest you avoid this person from now on.

I agree. They pretty much all were and my book club read them all

Vix grandad is still on the hospital waiting on some tests

Back from the State Fair. It was a gorgeous day to go, and the experience was overwhelming. I would not want to go on a hot/humid day or on a weekend, as I don't particularly like crowds.
But gosh, it was amazing! More than you could ever see/do/eat. I toured all the livestock areas and arenas, walked through the midway, took the gondola ride from one end of the grounds to the other and back, looked through the agriculture and fine arts exhibit halls, and people-watched.
You could really spend days and still not experience it all. I am very glad that I went! The food choices were just about infinite, but I managed to resist them all.

I have cancelled plans to go to Burbank, California. Or maybe I already mentioned that.
Just not comfortable with depleting my savings at this time. Maybe by next spring I will have more in the bank.

You seemed to be leaning in that direction but I don't believe you confirmed it.
Anybody else having trouble connecting to the site?

It is especially disappointing as my friend Kenny was going to take me to meet director Maury Dexter, whose films I love!

My friend Margo ALWAYS had trouble getting blood drawn...she says she has thin veins. She also ALWAYS has to ask for someone with a lot of experience to do it, because people who don't have the experience have to poke her way too many times to find one of her thin veins.
for the last three weeks this has been pretty much a daily occurrence.
Did you win a blue ribbon?
The display cases where they held all the ribbon-winning bakery products were stupendous.

He must be related to the girl who drew blood from Grace Adler in the "Will and Grace" episode when Karen thought Stanley had suffered a heart attack (he hadn't). That nurse wannabe was high-larious.
Phew! I'm home. Afternoon interview turned into a very long discussion. I was there for 2 hours! It was good though. I really didn't know this lawyer very well and he said I'm definitely one of the top contenders in his mind. All three commission members I met with have responded to my resume the same way..."Wow!" the lady this morning said she even wrote that on my app, lol. I would say so far things have gone as well as they could and I'm glad we took the extra time this afternoon. I am tired though and think I need a hot fudge sundae or something of that ilk

I took public transit to the Fair, and it worked extremely well. Folks that live near the fairgrounds will let you park in their front yard for a cool $25.
And due to my E and T-ness the last few days, here is a belated birthday wish for DR TCB!
