the end of the week as we know it

friday, friday, thank god it's friday...

sometimes i get a little nostalgic for disco. shhhh, don't tell gene. then i listen to it for about an hour or so and i am over it for the next year. but watch out if i can't get that fix when i really need it. luckily the last party came out last year and it suffices wonderfully. claire trivia: discoesque song with which i was most infatuated as a teen? shame, by evelyn champagne king.

the doctor was very nice: didn't lecture me on not going to doctors, didn't seem to think any of my various aches and pains were of concern, and told me to take robitussin, the plain sort, to try and expel the remnants of the liquid cough from hell.

i also had about three gallons of blood removed for various tests. okay, it was only six little vials, but that still seemed like an awful lot. the guy at the lab who took the blood, though, now there is a man i will be loyal to forever. i barely even felt the needle break the skin and after that not so much as a bit of pressure, even as he swapped out test tube after test tube. it only bled the tiniest amount once he withdrew the needle as well. i was very happy with the whole experience.

we'll see if i am still happy when the test results come back.

i may break down and buy a new computer this weekend. if so, expect things to remain a little short here as i transfer over all the files and programs that have taken five years to build up on the old system.



friday's child is full of woe, or at the very least whoa whoa whoa, claire
