today i spent the  morning doing medial things with mom. she had a drs appointment so i had to go along too. so much fun, see my eyes rolling? there was lots of sitting in the waiting room while mom filled out a million forms. finally they called mom into the back. she had to stand on a scale and get her height measured. the blood pressure machine came out and it said 148. the nurse said- that's kind of high. mom tried to blame it on me. what? i never. the nurse went away and mom read me some healthy living propaganda aimed at kids. eat your veggies and run around. blah blah blah. i already do that. the nurse came back and did a surprise blood pressure recheck. this time it was only 138. that's a little better. the doctor lady came in and spent some time talking with mom. i told her all about my video games and things i like to do. mom was all- that's great but it's my turn to talk. fine.
the doctor checked a bunch of boxes and gave this sheet of paper to mom and that was that. or so i thought. mom drove us across town to a place called the blood draw lab. what the heck goes on here? there was lots of sitting in the waiting room. there were a bunch of super old people waiting too. this guy came in and sat next to me. he started making duck sounds at me. we struck up a conversation. i started to talk to him like a rooster but mom said- no rooster talk. so i told him all about my video games and my translator. it passed the time.
finally they called mom into the back room and i found out what they do at a blood draw lab. the nurse put a band around mom's arm that looked way too tight. then she slapped mom's arm a few times. mom told her- they're really deep. the lady finally found what she was looking for and jammed a huge needle into mom's arm. my eyes went all big. mom didn't even flinch. she told me it wasn't a big deal. the tech was an expert and she didn't feel a thing. but but but, that looks so painful. mom assured me it didn't hurt a bit. the nurse tech lady filled 3 big tubes full of blood. mom says they're going to run a bunch of tests to make sure everything is working alright. once the lady had all the blood she needed she put a bandage on mom's arm and away we went.
mom drove us back home. one the way we stopped at subway. mom was starving as she never had any breakfast time. so she ordered us a couple of samiches. we sat at a table and ate them up. i like subway. got home just before noon. doing dr stuff sucked up our whole morning. what the hell.
other than that it was karate day. i did pretty good. today we did body drags. you're supposed to take turns dragging your partner across the matt. team work and strength building or something. i got paired up with timmy because we're close in size. timmy is a big girl. no really, a girl named timmy. how weird. anyway timmy was not in a good mood today. she ran off the matt to her mom, crying. oh well. i got dragged across the matt by ms gnad. she's the head guy's daughter and helps out in my class once in awhile. she's too big for me to drag though, so i didn't have to do any work. thanks timmy!
tonight i totally embarrassed myself. there are two sets of sliding glass doors. one goes from the livingroom to the porch, the other goes from the kitchen to the porch. now if one set is open the other set usually is too. not tonight. i ran straight out the livingroom doors, across the porch and flattened myself when i ran into the shut kitchen doors. mom tried to tell me off for A. running and B. almost killing myself but she couldn't stop laughing. dad told me off instead. i slunk out of the room to brush my teeth and there was more laughing from mom and dad. so embarrassing.
