Thump Day
Had to leave the house early this morning, grab Tiger and head to the Naval Hospital for my fasting blood tests. Wowsa - after the 5th vial, I started wondering what all I was being tested for?? I've already had my annual exam, with all the attendant cholesterol, etc. tests last Spring. Geesh. I left feeling like I'd donated blood. And I didn't even get an OJ or a cookie.
Thankfully, we immediately headed to Sakura on the Mainland for sushi. I allowed myself the great indulgence of having two sushi rolls, figuring I could use the extra food in my system after that huge blood draw.
Given the amount of books I've been mailing via PBS, I had to run into a post office so we did so in Burlington. There was a nutter out front with a picture of Obama in a Hitler mustache. Listen, you may not like Obama. You may even think he's a Socialist or secret Muslim, but you do NOT align him with the leader of the Holocaust. If Tiger hadn't been sitting in the car, I'd have gone off on this guy. Turns out he's a Larouche supporter (whatever that is) and wants to "Invoke the 24th Amendment". Jackass.
We saw the movie "The Help", which is going to rake in the awards this Academy season. Very good stuff. After three shops, we finally found butane canisters, geesh. This after trying six shops on Whidbey. Apparently payday weekend wipes out the local butane supply. Which is curious to me. Is this now used by the drug seeking crowd? I'm so out of date. I merely wanted to refill our fireplace lighter and candle lighter before the Full Moon and Autumnal Equinox.
Managed to make it home around 7pm, having spent most of the day sitting on my tush driving which wears me out completely. I'm in awe of folks who can drive forever, as I used to be one but now it just makes me need to nap immediately after.
I've another dozen books to get prepped, so I need to get wrapping. *slump*
Big happy news to announce tomorrow. :D
