1. For several visits in a row to the Kootenai Health lab, a terrific phlebotomist, Jayden (KHS, '18), has drawn my blood. She was nearly finished drawing the fifth or sixth vial from my arm when she said words I really enjoyed hearing. "We're almost done. You're so easy peasy."
Yes! I'm not a pain in the neck! I always, no matter what the situation, want to be easy to work with.
I floated away from her station, totally uplifted.
2. I do my best to add some fun to these lab visits I make -- at this point, bi-weekly.
First thing I do is break my fast at the coffee stand just outside the lab with a latte and chocolate croissant.
The next thing I do is hop in the Camry and swoop down to the CdA Casino, spin some reels, and have a meal, sometimes breakfast, sometimes lunch.
After eating the chocolate croissant, I didn't need breakfast, so I spun wheels for a while, had a couple of profitable spins that put me and kept me in the black, so I decided take my modest winnings home.
Done spinning, I capped off my visit with a bowl of buffalo chili and a small Caesar salad and used points on my player's card to pay for it -- the first time I've ever done that. But, I figured now that I'm a Legend, I may as well act like one -- ha ha.
3. Back in CdA, I stopped in at Trader Joe's and bought a few items and headed back home. I was not expecting to be exhausted when I arrived, but I guess the combination of being easy peasy, winning a little money, enjoying a bowl of chili, and strolling the aisles at Trader Joe's took the wind out of my sails.
I put the groceries away and fell on my bed, welcomed Copper's company, and fell into a deep coma nap.
