Prepping For A Medical Screening

[Whiskey]

I'm sure I will break down and eat. Hey, it's free, at least I'm not paying to fudge up the results.

Do some googling around and see what the least counterproductive thing is to eat. There could be something that hasnt started showing symptoms yet. It sounds paranoid, but better safe than sorry?


edit: if you really want to try to not eat before the test (though working in a warehouse.. how the hale would you not eat on a shift) eat a protein dense meal. Eggs, whole milk, etc. It'll last longer. Also drinks LOTS of water. Waterlog the shit out of yourself (for 8 hours! dont water-poison yourself!). Thirst is registered as hunger more than people think.

[Plaidman]

Indeed water is great to have.

If you need to eat, and you will, six hours is the absoulte minimal you want to give yourself for blood test. 8 hours is the safety net. Six hours is the absoulte minimal.

I'm only doing this because it's free and offers a discount on my insurance. It's not going to cost me money out of pocket or take several days to wait for lab results from Madison like the podunk clinic does. I don't feel I have anything to worry about, but it is good to know how you stand health-wise.

I fear the only thing wrong with me is mental. It can't be healthy to constantly want to knock your boyfriend unconscious and then dress him up like a monkey and when he comes to, tell him nothing happened and hey, let's go out to eat.

[Whiskey]

No.. not exactly.

[blas]

Yeah, I figured that wasn't quite right.

He's been annoying me a lot lately. Not like I'd actually do it, usually I bark worse than I bite, but in the middle of the night, waking me up to demand why I "lied" to him about calling him when I didn't (we've been having an issue lately with my phone calls not showing up on his phone, I want to blame AT&T or maybe even his provider as well, or I'd want to say it's because it's a pretty hard place to get reception out of town and away from the towers, but he thinks I'm being shady and making excuses. And I can't prove I called him at that specific time because my phone will only show the last time I called him, which was at 11 pm last night). And then that leads to me flying out of bed to get dressed screaming at him that if he's going to start the blind accusations again, I'm leaving. I don't need anymore stress and pressure, especially when I have never done anything to prove I'm not trustworthy. He thinks I have something to hide because I'm going off on him whenever he starts with the accusations. Excuse me, but no normal human being likes being accused of something. No normal person is going to sit there and calmly explain to you their side. I am well known for going off easily, ESPECIALLY if I've had a very bad work week and I do nothing to warrant the treatment or accusations.

That got a little off topic, but I've been under too much stress lately. I'm like a firecracker just about to get lit off. And that, I can assure, won't result in a bark. That will be a big bite.

If it makes you feel better, hes crazy too

[blas]

Oh, I've known that since the moment I met him. You should meet his brother if you really want to know what crazy is. It makes me laugh when he goes off on about how crazy his brother is, when he can sometimes compete with delusional thoughts and assumptions.

I think it'd be best to keep a little cash set aside for a body wrap or massage before my screening. My mom has been bugging me to take a day off so we can get our nails done, but I keep telling her I can't have that at my work because my nails are ruined within days, and I can do manis/pedis at home. I have all the stuff I need. If I paint my nails for the weekend, by Tuesday there is almost no polish left because my gloves at work take it off. And fake nails are no match for those machines.

I better call mom and ask if she'd rather do that. Those body wraps are tons of fun, and you lose a little weight at the same time.

[Whiskey]

if you really want to know what crazy is

Um..? Youve been in my LA thread.

Why not?
Bonus is that he should have enough money in the cup to buy munchies.

[blas]

I've never had one of those before.

I was going to get my hair done today, but I decided to put it off again. I'm just not in a really good mood overall and I need a few hours so I can perk up so I'm not a mess tonight. Big dinner date with bf and some coworkers. I didn't want to subject a stylist into hearing my sob stories or me being in bitch mode. I can get away with the minimal interaction, going to the gym and tanning or getting food, but not for an hour or more at a salon.

I might just get my hair done this week sometime. I've been meaning to do that for a while now. I decided against pink, though. I was thinking of a really dark brown underneath the blonde. That'll look pretty foxy, and I won't have to worry about it not matching my clothes or how I do my hair and makeup.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Do they wash your hair when you have it done? That's heaven.

[blas]

They do. And I can usually get the newest, greatest stuff used on me, even the leave-in type stuff.

The only thing that sucks is when I get my hair dyed, I can't wash my hair for 48 hours and I'm one of those people who goes nuts if I can't wash my hair every day.

[BookstoreEscapee]

I'm one of those people who goes nuts if I can't wash my hair every day.

Yeah, me too. I don't dye my hair, though. And the girl I go to doesn't wash my hair (I could have it done if I pay extra for it). Usually I just go in with my hair still damp and she sprays it with water if she needs to.

[blas]

I have that done when it get mine cut. That way I can wash it when I get home. It doesn't cost me extra to have it washed when I get it dyed, I just presume because they have to wash the dye out, and hair that's just been rinsed after dying...not very soft or clean feeling. Plus, conditioning is a must for closing the cuticle.

I've been trying to leave my blonde alone, but I love two tones. Just planning on doing the lower half. The purple I had last winter was out of this world, but hardly lasted a month or more.

[Whiskey]

I was my hair twice a week

your minds are blown.
