heart-attacks

Some days start weird and some evolve that way. Today was one of those. (see what I did there? I didn't tell you which kind it was did I?)

For years my doctor has told me to stop smoking, drink less, lose weight, take my blood pressure med's and get fit or I'd have a stroke or a heart attack. Well, it seems he's gone and had a heart attack. There is no justice ion the world. Here's a guy who saves lives for a living, works 18 hours a day, looks after himself and what's his just rewards? A heart attack. On the other hand, I help no one, do nothing of any real value and treat my body like someone else owns it and I'm as fit as a bull. Well, except that my BP is like 180/120 but, my point is there really is no justice.

So that was not the end of the weirdness today. I got out of my car and walked to the parking meter to pay, when this random guy leans out of the car next to me and hands me a ticket, that's still valid for an hour! Go me.

Then, I went to the credit union (MECU) to apply for an overdraft for the bar and instead of a wall of resistance, I was met with a swell of assistance and optimism. Not like the other banks at all.

Today was weird and wonderful, all at once. I have to pee in a jar - it's going to be strange, I haven't done that one before. Usually they just take a gallon of blood and tell me I'm fine. I'm not sure I can hand someone (a stranger to boot) a jar of my urine. It's . . . too intimate somehow.

weird.

Re: My Life - Safe and Well

Here's where I go philisophical. My theory is, that doctors and people who are pictures of healthare struck down with heart attacks and the such, so as to set an example for the rest of us. It's one of those, "if it can happen to me, there's even more chance of it happening to you, buddy!" moments. At least, I think that's the message the universe intends to send.

Haha, peeing in a jar is hilarious. Just make sure you haven't been holding on to it for too long, because if it's one of those big relief wees, it comes out too fast and you end up with backsplash!!

Important tip there.

And hey, at least they don't want a faecal sample!! Bahahahahahaha

Hilarious? No. It really isn't funny when you're half asleep (because it has to be the very first one of the day) and you're trying to focus on this job while also trying to 'go slow' so you don't get backsplash - because ew.

The worst part was that they told me to drink lots of water the night before while fasting. That was a mistake! Don't think I'll go back there, they took 3 vials of my precious blood. I need that blood dammit.
