vday plans
i think my plans consist of taking the dog for a long walk (we attempting an hour walk each day - we did 3 hours on saturday and an hour each on sunday and monday) i'll be at work probably until 8 or 9 and edgar is working tonight - so he won't get home until 9 or 10. plus, i have to be at work at 9am tomorrow sooo . . . it doesn't matter though because we've never really celebrated vday. the first year, we went out to dinner randomly a couple of days before which was a cross between our "one month anniversary" and vday but thats about it - i kind of like it that way. he had class this morning and then had to take his mom to an appointment (she had her gallbladder removed friday) but we ended up having enough time to go out for coffee between then and when i left for work . . . i guess that sort of counts as vday celebration :)
so, my day hasn't been the best today. but i'm still pretty happy - which makes me thing i'm doing a better job controlling my stress in general. i got a call while i was at the coffee house with edgar from my dr.'s office asking me to schedule another appointment. at my last appointment (also my first real appointment with a dr in a couple of years) i had a normal physical and everything was fine but she had my blood drawn for a blood test for clotting because it turns out that a weird genetic clotting disorder runs in my family. it is my impression that the only way you can determine for sure whether i have it is to run a genetic typing, but the dr just asked for some sort of clotting assay - which is probably all you need to determine whether it will effect me. she told me it would probably take about two weeks and she'd only call if something came back abnormal. well, she called so i'm a little nervous . . . but in all likelihood its probably something was weird, we should run another test. plus, its not really something that will stop my life. my cousin has it (the reason the rest of us found out about it) but it was because she was having headaches (little blood clots in the brain) she has been on birth control and has successfully had two kids and is working on a third so its obviously not stopping her. i think my mom is heterozygous (spelling?) for it and she's never had any problems - but my grandmother (who i don't think has ever been tested) had a storke when my mom was in college and then another one when i was a freshman - so thats not very fun. i'm mumbling, i realize but i'm a little nervous about it all and i don't feel like talking to people at work about it and i don't want to tell my mom until i talk to the dr because it will just make her nervous . . .
and then i got to work, thinking i had all the samples for the day (because that was what i was told) and would probably be out of here by 7. then i walked into a meeting where everyone was a little edgey, followed up by receiving a phone call that there was another sample coming . . . and there is a stupid woman using the centrifuge i usually use which is screwing up my pattern. ok, that one is pretty minor but its still annoying!
but today is tuesday . . . which means when i'm out of here by 9 (and i WILL be out of here by 9, goddamnit!) i can go home and watch house and play with dollop.
i hope i didn't bring down anyone's mood! i'm still happy - and i'm wearing bright red pants in honor of vday! I wasthinking about doing the vday cards this year around the lab but i never got around to getting them - and i thought it would be a little weird to give them to some of the lab members who i'm not that close to - and a little weird themselves . . .
