Semi-Amusing

I went to the doctor today for my yearly check-up. I got up this morning wondering if I should guzzle water just in case they needed blood. At my late yearly they needed blood and I had accidentally fasted the same day. For someone who already has petite veins, the shrinking effects of fasting made for a traumatic experience that took 2 hours, and left me black and blue, with lots of entry sites. I thought it through and there really wasn't any thing they would need blood for so I just had my normal morning liquids. Well...They needed blood. GRRRR... This time I went in with all the information,

"I know you don't want to hear this, but I have bad veins that are ridiculously small. You will need a butterfly on me. I'm scared of needles, but I promise to do my best. "

Well with two phlebotomists and the smallest neddle you can get I'm happy to say I was only poked once and I don't even have a bruise! Now the semi-amusing part. Where they priked my finger to test my iron is bruised. Isn't that stupid!?

Great story with the funny part in the last line! Made me laugh...

Here is a question though...when you guys open my blog, can you still see the flower and the blue color? Because when I go on the site I can't see anything. That's exactly what happened with my last design. Any idea what illness my blog has?
