Testing, testing, testing...

lydamorehouse I went in for my cholesterol test this morning. The only thing I hate about that is that they won't even let you have plain black coffee anymore. It used to be that you were fine, so long as you didn't have a froo-froo latte. Now, they're banning even a regular cup of joe.
I thought I was gonna DIE.
Especially since, I could not immediately go get coffee. Instead, I had to wait for Shawn to finish her appointment. After THAT, we drove to the DMV to get her license renewed... it was only after that that we got coffee. The nice thing, actually, is that Shawn bought me breakfast. I love breakfast out. It is one of my most favorietest things in the whole, wide world. We went to Day by Day Cafe. Just what the doctor ordered! Oh, no, wait, that was all the blood tests.
At least that's done now.
Normally today I would be at my coffee shop with 'the ladies,' hanging out and talking writing and life, today. But, Mason woke up with the beginnings of a cold. (I think I might be getting it, too, actually.) Since he's at home, I decided to hang close. I'd been hoping to catch the guy who wants to do an inspection of our house for our new homeowner's insurance, but he texted (of course!) while we were at the doctors' this morning, so that will now have to wait until Monday. No biggie, and in fact, it gives me a chance to clean around where the fuse box is (he's taking interior pictures of our heating system and electrical.) The fuse box happens to be in the coal room, which is where we have all of our kitty litter boxes. They need changing anyway, but now I don't have to dash out to the store RIGHT NOW.
So, that's a silver lining, I guess.
Meanwhile, I've been doing some fannish things. There's a bit of a community among the bloggers of anime/manga on WordPress and I've been reading and commenting over there a lot more than usual. That's has, in turn, inspired me to read (and review) a lot more manga so that I can have something of interest to add to the conversation.
Likewise, someone on Tumblr has organized a "Renji Week" where fans are encouraged to post fan works of any variety on specific themes for a week, starting on April 1. Since I'm a writer, I've been working ahead. I've got one theme piece "in the can" already, and ideas for at least one more. Now I just have to settle in and write. Unfortunately, my late start on caffeine has me kind of staring blankly at the wall. Weirdly, because I am such a lark (opposite of 'night owl' = 'morning lark'), I actually faired better earlier. Now that it's my natural lull time, I'm like: Eyes.. won't... stay..... ooooopen......
zzzzz.
*snort* Wha? Ugh. Maybe I'll try reading for a little while. Hopefully, that will wake me up.
