Blood

Today, Doug needed for a piece of medical equipment to be brought back to one of our Doctor Office locations. He had all day meetings, and he was trying to get Geoff to do it, but Geoff was balking over doing it. 

I volunteered to do the errand. Simply Because. I needed a break and I needed to get blood work done anyway. Very overdue. 

Sometimes it is just nice to get in the car and drive somewhere and not do anything thinking wise other than focus on the road, the traffic, staying safe. 

I enjoyed my time away from the computer for a little over two hours. An hour there, 15 minutes getting bloodwork done and dropping off the thing for Doug, and an hour back. 

When I got to the lab I realized I may not be fully hydrated. I had coffee, but I didn't load up on water the way I usually do when I have blood work done. And it was a challenge today. Yup. It wasn't fun. 

Still, it was better than answering tickets. 

I got home and had a team meeting with my colleagues and we all griped about our individual projects. I did a bunch of work, took a walk and chatted with Linda. Geoff grilled dinner and Doug took Toffee to the dog park. I should have gone to the dog park but then I wouldn't have had a yap with Linz. 

Around 8:45 I realized I was still way behind on steps so I went on another walk. It was such a perfect night, I just went a couple blocks further than where I usually would have turned. I realized that I need to think about running more again and get back to doing 2 miles at once, instead of 2 long walks that get me just over 2 miles total. Gotta get ready for that 5k in August, friends!

That's about it. Here's my arm, with two bandages. One was a fail, the other success! But... Ouch.
