Abstaining, I SO need it!!!

It all comes down to this. 12 hours. From 1:30am until 1:30pm. The dreaded abstinence. The time in which one must abstain from all food and drink only black coffee (blech) or water, prior to one's blood work-up. I haven't had a physical in a few years, so it's about time. Why is it when you CAN'T have food, you want it the most??? I usually don't eat during the day at all, sans a small bowl of cereal, but I woke up this morning famished!

Is a really tiny little teaspoon of sugar, and a drop of half-and-half really going to screw up my blood work? I mean, really?

What a long strange trip it's been

So much has happened in the last month. So much. Almost too much. My dear grandmother passed away, my mom and her customers narrowly missed serious injury (or even being killed) at her store, and then my dad was hit by a van. Thankfully he's on the road to recovery also.

I don't mean to be a downer, really I don't. It's just that nothing funny has happened lately. Nothing to make me smile devilishly and make me want to post about it.
