Monday

Today I left work early for a 3:30 annual doctor visit. I got a flu shot. And blood drawn to check my vitamin d level. It got me thinking to how nearly six years ago the thought of a blood draw or shot totally freaked me out. What a waste of stress! There I was in that very same Dr office totally not freaking out or even stressing. In prior years the thought of getting a flu shot was far worse than the possibility of actually getting the flu. Sure, I'll take a week of feeling like total crap in place of a tiny poke in the arm - that. doesn't. even. hurt!  What was freaking out about all those years.  Sometimes I want to whack myself upside the head for being so dumb.

But due to the appointment I got home a little earlier than I normally do, fixed dinner, had a long bath, watched some TV and headed to bed early.  It is raining out.  We "fell back" yesterday and gained an hour, but now it gets dark so early and my internal clock is all kinds of confused.
