Yesterday was a busy busy day. And, contrary to popular belief (or, maybe it was just me) it was NOT Friday!
Started the day with a 6 am Bikram class – Great way to start the day! I was working from home which worked out great for the next bit of excitement!
It was bath day for the little mister! And, my first big splurge after starting my new job was having the mobile groomer come to the house – she was FAST! And, she did a great job giving him his summer “puppy cut”. And, as most everyone always does, she loved the Phred. He even got a great decoration for his collar. (if you’re in my area, I highly recommend Wagging Tails for your furry friends!)

My next adventure was an attempt to donate blood. I had a mailing when I got home Tuesday and there was a drive going on at a local car dealer – if I timed it right and didn’t have to wait forever then it would work out!!
How it works….

The after. Sometimes they’ll draw a better picture..not just dots!
Success!! In and out in about an hour which might be a record!! Given that summers are low blood donation months – for several reasons – and there seems to be a greater need for blood and blood products in the summer, I suggest you get yourself down to a local Blood Drive. Find one at Red Cross and sign up!! You get cookies!!
Which gave me time to go home and walk the dog before heading off for my annual mammogram at my local outpatient center.
The Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center and Outpatient Center. Also, Radiology
They gave me a fancy outfit to put on and set to getting things done. I didn’t even have time to hang out in the waiting room.
The pants were mine…and I’m pretty sure taking pictures was breaking the rules!
Another quick trip! I find that if I go in the evening, there’s no waiting to go in and no waiting to get “films” read – though it’s all online so there are really no films anymore. Just time to go home and wait another year!
Hope everyone enjoyed their bonus Friday this week!!
