blood out

oh, poor me. sitting here in a really sweet little coffee shop, staring at the world outside through the glass and unable to read my book because between the soft, beautiful music playing in the background and thoughts of quitting my job and upgrading my life i just can't concentrate.

i'm bubbling with a contentment and excitement that i haven't felt in the longest time. i pray the feeling lasts.

...

dragging myself out of an epic dream so early in the morning was difficult, but the clinic was empty so i didn't have to wait to squeeze out some blood* before heading back to town for breakfast.

* it hurt, strangely. not the insertion but the needle actually being in my vein; it really hurt coming out :(

the testing was because i've turned vegan, the irony that i picked a non-vegan place for breakfast whose healthiest option is an omelette. oh, well. once in a while won't kill me :)

and now, in spite of an iffy neck, i'm going to hit the water again. good morning.
