Apparently, I'm Very Gentle...

I did it!! Twice so far. I've drawn blood from my "blood buddy" lab partner & friend Jessica and my other classmate & friend Melanie. They BOTH said they didn't feel a thing. I'm actually quite impressed with myself because I really thought I wasn't going to like doing it. I think it is actually cool. I make it into a game. Find The Vein. Jess' vein was pretty prominent. Mel is a hard stick. Her veins aren't as visible as Jess' are. But, I got her with one stick! My biggest fear was hurting them and they both said I didn't. Very cool. We have to do at least 3 more for our license. We're actually going to do more though for the practice.

Today is my husband Larry's 40th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! I got him a cake. We are actually going to celebrate tomorrow because he is off. I feel bad. He worked the graveyard shift last night and tonight. So tomorrow he will be exhausted. His hours truly suck.

If you can all say a prayer for my lab partner & friend Jessica. She was involved in a car accident yesterday right after school and it totaled her car. She was banged up pretty badly. The air bag deployed and hit her in the throat. Her arm has a huge gash on it, and her knee is pretty bruised up. Luckily no broken bones. She is just very sore. I turned off to go onto a different route right before it happened. Luckily Melanie was a few cars behind her and was able to stop and be with her until the cops & EMTs got there. This just happened at a very bad time. Her Mom is having a double masectomy on Monday. When it rain, it pours. (By the way, this is a new pic of me with Jess...We were trying to make weird faces. I succeeded. Got my blonde highlights back too)

I've been quiet because I have been so busy with school, hospice, homework, and papers. In June I'll be able to breathe again but then it will be Operation Job Hunt.

Hope you all enjoy your Easter weekend for those that celebrate.
