I'm proud of myself

I've sent my novel Kept Tears into the publisher. To learn more about it you can head here. Thanks once more to evil_little_dog, mamculuna and havocmangawip because without yinz it wouldn't be half the novel it is. Thanks for everything.

Other than that, today was well a bust. I had to get up early to bleed into tubes and see my endocrinologist (okay the bleeding should have been last week but I didn't even know I had this apt). I got up at 7 and I was exhausted. As in more exhausted than when I went to bed. I get to the clinic (I don't normally go to this one) and after a half hour no one has taken my blood. I got without it since it wouldn't help at this point. The PA was very surprised about my insulin resistance stories but nothing really comes of it other than he calls down to that lab. They were looking for me before I even got downstairs. I hate the phleb lab at Holzer (and this is worse than the one in Gallipolis) They act like the people aren't even there. THey never stop their whining about their lives the whole time someone in their seats...

Since I had taken a survey at Sonics and received a free Route 44 for my trouble, I wanted to get that. But it's only 10 a.m and I forgot that they do breakfast because I'm SO TIRED. I went to the library and puttered around there. It took 45 minutes to do that because of how exhausted I was. I went to Krogers to get the stuff to make a strawberry tart for the potluck at work. I'm half asleep on the cart rolling around but awake enough to realize wait a minute strawberries = 4$, pie crust because I don't have time to make my own =2.50$, apricot preserves =3$, whipped cream = 2.50$. That means the tart would be one expensive tart. Mini frozen eclairs 5$, 30 servings? SOLD. I'm giving tests thru the whole potluck any how.

I get to Sonics and order my lunch. I didn't even know what a Route 44 was. Have I mentioned I don't do drinks at restaurants? I get water. I have tried Sonics drinks before because they sound so good. TUrns out the Route 44 is a serving size...apparently 44 ounces of liquid. holy hell. I get a mango tea. So, either Sonics flavoring is just bad or I'm SO unused to flavorings period, they have disappointed me time and again. It just tasted like manga kinda with a chemical chaser. I'm STILL drinking this 12 hours later. Geez.

I wasn't going to eat until I had a nap. Changed my mind. Took an hour's nap and woke up even more exhausted and disoriented. Finally felt almost human at 5 pm. perfect. I don't know what this complete exhaustion is about. Maybe the blood test will tell me.

Either way I'm reveling in my accomplishment for the day.

no declutter. I was too wiped.

I want this dress like mad. Yes it's insanely girly but I still want it. The down side of Pyramid Collection, NO sales until they run out of everything but XS and S and so expensive (and sometimes things aren't as well made as you'd like).

and I WON this dress from Holy Clothing. What do you think? I'm thinking the jade green or the burgundy wine.
