So…I was quite proud of myself this morning. I had to have blood drawn and I did. It may not seem like a big deal, but for me it was. I have, as I am sure anybody who reads this has figured out, a serious aversion to needles, followed very closely by my dislike of blood and anything having to do with my veins. I only cried a very little bit, and the phlobotomist was awesome. Three cheers for Reina. Usually it takes a full two to three minutes for the nurses to get things done, during which time I lose the feeling in my hands and chest because I am hyperventiliating, but this lady ruled it up in about 10 seconds. It was amazing. And that is why I have earned the title of Sarah the Brave for today.
It has been a crazy week, and I am very grateful that tomorrow is Friday. I am observing in the afternoon, but otherwise am free. Free to do my homework, that is. But all the same, I am ready for the weekend. Dylan is working all day at the Children’s Festival on Saturday, which is kind of sad because it will cut into our weekend time together, but I think he will have fun. I just know that he has had a long week too, and wish that he got to have a more relaxing weekend.
As for me, it’s going to be a long weekend of ruling up the school work. I have to pretty much wrap up my project for my education class, get a healthy chunk of the piece I am creating for my jewelry class completed, and work on the wax model for the next project in that class. I will be casting a new wedding ring for Dylan, since he misplaced his when I was in the hospital. Casting involves using a very large torch to melt the metal. I am very afraid….I will earn the title of Sarah the Brave the day I cast, too. Rotten metal, having to be melted with scary fire. Plus, I have a little bit of work to do for my computer course. Ick. Only 5 more weeks left though, so it is time to kick it into gear.
