Less Blood and Urine

So, last week I had my physical and today was the day that I needed to have the blood and urine tests done. I asked the doctor if it was a fasting kind of test and she said that wasn’t necessary any more. Just how long has it been since the last physical? Hmmm…. When I got home I went online and made an appointment for the lab tests and got one for Wednesday. People are always complaining about the wait times, but I had no problem getting a pretty early appointment. Must be my good karma that I have built up from a life of self sacrifice and helping others.

I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy, so just to be on the safe side I fasted before I went. Well, it’s hardly a fast when most of the time is spent being horizontal and snoring. I wouldn’t want to show up and find that the doctor was wrong and I had to reschedule. I puttered around this morning killing time till it was time to leave for my ten o’clock appointment.

I don’t know what it was this morning, but I got behind some pretty slow drivers. I wasn’t concerned because I left lots of time and even with an appointment the chances are pretty good that I will be waiting anyways. I parked on the far side of the parking lot so that the bad drivers I passed didn’t park so close to the car that I wouldn’t be able to get in when it was time to leave.

I walked up to the receptionist and handed her the requisition form and I included the confirmation number, no one was going to say that I wasn’t prepared. I made some small talk about the weather and how busy it was in the waiting room. She typed something into the computer and after a minute or two she smiled and told me that my appointment was for next Wednesday the sixth of April. Hmmm…

I thanked her for her time, promised to be back next week and went to McDonalds for coffee and a burrito. I enjoyed my quiet time drinking my coffee and reading my book. The beauty is that I get to do it all again next week with slightly less blood and urine.

Stay Connected

For some reason my internet connection has stopped. I could understand if the connection was severed from all of the computers in the house, but it seems that my computer is the only one affected. What the hell is up with that?

Did the “internet” get together and decide that every now and then it will screw with me. Why would it screw with me? I’m a nice kind of guy; I hold doors for men, women and children even though I rarely get a “Thank you”. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt even when they are being complete ass-hats. Hell, I believe that most politicians actually mean well, even the ones that should be taken out and fed to the rabid dogs at the city dump. I keep my lawn more or less nice if your definition of nice is brownish green with a scattering of weeds. I try not to show my bigotry to anyone’s face, even though I understand that I am a product of my generation.

I suppose that there is something wrong with my computer…every now and then. Sort of like Donald trump isn’t always an asshole. Who am I kidding, Trump is always an asshole and the WWW is out to get me. Lucky for me I don’t have anything of value or even interest on my computer. Even my computer has no value, mainly because every now and then the internet connection will cut out. What thief worth his salt would steal a crap computer like this?

Oops…I am back online so I don’t need to write any more.

Have a good night and I wish that you stay connected.
