Whew! Another busy weekend. Just getting to checking on my blog today, and catching up with everyone else. Kelli also honored me with my first award, which is so nice! But I'm still planning my award nominations to pass on, so that will be for the next post.
So the weekend. First off, blood. I've read that the far away clinic wants to test CD 3 blood work in their lab. But as I am not "officially" a patient of theirs yet, they cannot order this for me. But I know they want it, and I know I don't want to wait until my next cycle to give it to them. They want the blood drawn locally, spun into serum, and frozen. Then I FedEx it to them. So I went ahead and had the blood drawn Saturday morning at a new lab. My old doctor would not do this for me, and the nurse actually got a little snarky over the phone when I told her what I needed. If you can hear eye rolls over the phone, that is what I heard from her. She guessed what clinic wanted this, and then dramatically bit her tongue with the scathing comment she wanted to make. Whatever.
So now I have vials of frozen serum in my freezer. I had to warn Mr. P so he wouldn't think they were some sort of new molecular gastronomy recipe I was trying out. And I'll ship it out this afternoon. Yeah, I could carry it with me on the plane Wednesday, but the thought of trying to explain this to a TSA person makes me tired.
"What's in the box, ma'am?"
"Ummm, my frozen blood serum."
"But its not red."
"Yeah, its serum."
"Well, is that more than 3 ounces? Is it in a ziplock bag?"
"Sigh..."
So it ships and it'll be waiting for me at the far away clinic on Thursday.
And wine. We had another wedding on Saturday, it was the antithesis of the wedding from last weekend. Adults only, urban, no large wedding party, older-ish couple. And this time a short cab ride away, no need for me to be the designated driver. Yay! This is the wedding of two friends that met at a third friend's party a few years back. They could be the sweetest couple, and just seem so happy to have found each other. That third friend performed the ceremony for them (his 3rd wedding, his first being ours!) and it was just lovely. And the wedding was so much fun. I drank a lot of wine, took off my shoes and cut a serious rug. Great fun had by all, and a really nice way to send the newlyweds off.
P.S. - Thanks Hope for the tip on the free blog layouts! What do you think of the new look?

Love it! Love it! Love it! Told you it was super easy. I really like your fancy header, too. And I'm so glad you got to have some serious fun this weekend. Oh how I miss wine! Hope your blood gets to the far off clinic safe and sound!
ReplyDeletecute blog layout! i love it! can't wait to hear how the appointment at far away clinic goes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new layout! Glad you had fun at the wedding. It's great when you don't have to be the DD. That's so funny about carrying your blood serum on the plane. Made me laugh. I can't wait for your appointment!
ReplyDeleteI just love the new layout! Excellent choice! What a jerk the nurse was. I don't understand why the dr. wouldn't set things up for you. Your care, under any dr, should be their first priority! Grr. I'm so glad you had such a great time at the wedding! Yay for wine! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool wedding! They're so special, I go to so many where I am just BORED!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you had a chance to let your hair down and have a good time! And I LOVE your new blog look! Congrats on your award! I've given you one, too! Come by for a visit and see! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat you got to have fun. Don't you love those nurses??? Grrr.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
