I&#8217;ve got an etsy account &#038; shop setup, but no goods to hang in the windows! Soon, though, very soon, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>On daily life, it&#8217;s been an interesting couple of days &#8211; the Royals home opener was yesterday, and it was horrid weather. I skipped the game, but got my fill of the spirit by tailgating &#8211; plenty of fresh air, bbq smoke, and officemate camaraderie (oh and gusting, freezing winds and rain). This morning was my annual doctor&#8217;s appointment (I always hear the song, &#8220;Back in the Saddle Again&#8221;, in my head when I&#8217;m getting ready to head over there for <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">that<\/span> appointment&#8230;.) My doctor is not even 5&#8242; tall, a little Vietnamese bundle of energy, and I adore her. We talked knitting, and she just had a baby last year, so we also talked parenting skills\/style (I figure three dogs count for something) and also James&#8217; teaching experiences contribute to the conversation. Hey. Anything to ignore what&#8217;s going on, I say.  They have an awesome phlebotomist at the office, but sadly, she didn&#8217;t quite get all the alcohol wiped off my arm before starting the draw&#8230; I&#8217;ve never had that happen before. I tried not to overreact, especially with a needle in my arm, but I finally said, &#8220;So&#8230;..should it be burning like that?&#8221; It subsided eventually, but she was concerned and asked me several questions to make sure it wasn&#8217;t something else. Finally, I said, ok, am I in danger of my blood leaking and filling up my arm? (I was trying to imagine what the absolute worst case scenario would be.) The answer, fortunately, was &#8220;no.&#8221; (It would have started to happen already. Gulp. I thought I was coming up with an impossible scenario&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>So now I have some crazy work projects to knock out, and a few things to get crossed off my to-do list so I stop the maddening cycle of &#8220;OH YEAH &#8211; I&#8217;ve GOT to get that done&#8221; and then promptly forgetting to do it. In fact, I keep hopping out of this box to do other things &#038; then I remember, &#8220;DUH! I didn&#8217;t hit &#8216;Post&#8217;!&#8221; Welcome to my world.
