b-e aggressive
Today by the numbers:
BP: 137/93 (white coat syndrome)
Creatinine: 2.0
Tubes of blood drawn: 7
Chest-x-rays: 1
EKGs: 1
Minutes spent waiting in the assless gown: 30
Bitches in cars flipped off: 2
Bitches in cars told to "go fuck yourself" with my mother present: 1
Shotglasses: 3 (VCU, Richmond, Randolph-Macon)
Times "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" heard while lost slightly lost: 2 (once in the proper building looking for the bookstore)
Wrong turns made despite paper directions and a navigator, thus displaying the need for a GPS unit: 5
Heat index: 108
Next doctor's appointment for the kidney: 3 months
For the first time ever, I filled out the yearly checklist with every answer being "no" except the "having problems with your period?" one. As entertaining as it would've been to put "yes," I just left it blank. I might be off my shots, which would rock like Dokken and make things much cheaper. My weight keeps going down and really, it was a near perfect appointment. The only hold up was waiting for my prescriptions to be written and that was only about five minutes. With an 8 am appointment, getting out before 10:30 on a checkup day is not bad at all.
VCU reminds me of Rutgers but pissed me off far less (free parking because someone left 34 minutes on the meter, score!). University of Richmond... they have their commons built OVER A LAKE. Like on pillars over the damn lake, with huge glass windows overlooking the lake and it's incredibly pretty and why it's incredibly expensive. Because OVER A LAKE.
Randolph-Macon is why I love doing this. Very pretty small town campus like Mary Wash, with a Crazy Bookstore Lady. In the middle of summer at small colleges, the bookstores are absolutely dead, so the CBLs are lonely and will strike up conversations easily. CBLs in summer seeing a random person getting a shotglass suspect a collector and can often squeeze a story or two out of the customer while the glass is being paid for an wrapped. I was glad to oblige.
Next stop? Perhaps George Mason or some DC schools, but more likely University of Maryland in a month.
Random thought of the day: Think about what four people you've ever known that you'd take with you on a cross-country trip in an RV. Just think about it, no needs to say it out loud. #4 always seems to be a tough choice.
