I had to get up early to have my Yukon in to get my window fixed. ( I had an early morning drop off time)

Right after that I had to go to the hospital and get a bunch of blood work done. I had to go in fasting so I could not eat or drink anything after 7:00pm the night before. I thought about running before I had to drop the truck off but decided I would need water.

I got there and they took 10 vials of blood then made me drink the orange nasty drink. After that I had my blood drawn every half hour for the next two hours.

So needless to say I got home at 2:45 in the afternoon. I was ready to pass out or something. I ate a couple of taco's and I was still shaking so bad that I finally ate a small candy bar out of the kids halloween candy and ten I crashed.  I slept for a few hours and woke up in time to fix dinner and then run out to get a dress for the funeral. ( I own alot of colorful church clothes)

I did about as much walking as I could do looking for a black dress.
