I finally got my lab work done today. Since the doctor called yesterday to confirm that my lab orders were at Tricore, I went in this morning to have my blood drawn. The nurse was excellent— I barely felt the needle, and there isn’t even a bruise left behind. I’m about 90% done with The…

Slow day
Both girls went to Tricore this morning for their blood draws. I went in with Alexis, and she didn’t pass out -I’m so happy about that! Karissa went in by herself; she was a little nervous but did fine. Afterward, the girls treated themselves to Starbucks for a drink and then went to Blake’s for…
All in the heart
Today has felt so long, and it’s not even over yet! Though honestly, it wasn’t a bad day. Karissa finally had her long-awaited cardiology appointment, and I’m just relieved it didn’t get cancelled. Kel had an orientation today, so Alex took Karissa and me to the appointment. We hadn’t been to this clinic before, and…
Felt like a Monday
Remember when I went to Tricore the first time and found out there were no lab orders for me, so I had to call the doctor to have them resend them? Well, I went back to Tricore this morning to finally get my lab work done, and once again—no orders for me. I called the…
Los Alamos trip
I think all the kids are bored or something. I probably need to give them something to do. They’ve all wandered into the office multiple times while I’ve been trying to code, which makes it hard to concentrate. I don’t mind distractions, but it can be tough to get back into working mode afterward. Thursday,…
Happy Middle of the Week!
We’ve been having the worst luck with coffee lately. This morning, Alexis made herself some coffee, and while cleaning the French press, it slipped from her hands and shattered. Poor girl—she was so upset. She’s fine, thankfully, and I picked up all the glass so she wouldn’t cut herself. The problem is that we no…
Happy Tuesday!
The power glitched again yesterday—something far too common here. It’s not the house; it’s definitely the power company. I’ve never seen so many outages and glitches before. This time, my UPS and computer both shut off. I managed to power the UPS back on, but the computer itself won’t start. I suspect the case isn’t…
Sleepy Monday
I think we must have had some power glitches yesterday, because when I came home, my computer and UPS were both off. My computer has a particularly slow start-up—it took nearly 15 minutes of pressing the power button this morning before it finally turned on. Yesterday was a busy day. Tommy had a concert, so…
Random bits
Alex wants to try the new Oreo Reese’s Blizzard at Dairy Queen. He was about to take the girls but I told him it’s probably not open. I’m not sure what Dairy Queen’s hours are, but I’m pretty sure they don’t serve breakfast, so it wouldn’t be open this early. Karissa said she’ll get a…
Spilled coffee
This morning was spent taking Alexis to her dentist appointment. Beforehand, we stopped at our local coffee shop, where she got a coffee and a pastry. She didn’t eat the pastry since she had a dental appointment, but she sipped a little of her coffee. Kel, Alexis, and I then headed to the next town…
