Hit the Books

It's Sunday and I'm spending the day studying for a pathophysiology exam tomorrow. I have been studying for about five hours now and am taking a little break. I have about another six or seven hours to go. That doesn't include the time it's going to take me to do my homework--two case studies--and so on.

I'm so ready for this semester to be over!

Yesterday, I got some study time in in the morning before Dave and I went off to have lunch with Lu Ann, who we haven't seen in awhile. She recently did a clinical internship in a pro-Trump enclave in the northwestern US. It's hard to believe that there are people who are ignorant enough to support Donald Trump in his bid for the presidency, but they do exist. I don't know how they make it out of childhood without falling prey to some Darwin Award type mishap--but I feel that way about most stupid people.

Anyway, we had a great lunch at our little Japanese hole-in-the-wall place, which was surprisingly not terribly busy.

After, Dave and I came home and I got a bit of studying done before we went off to take my brother to get his truck serviced at Walmart. After we dropped him off, I went with Dave while he got a haircut, then we went back to Walmart. It was getting late enough that my blood sugar was crashing after our big white-rice laden lunch, so we stopped in the in-house McDonald's and I had six chicken nuggets and shared some fries with Dave. That held me through a bit of shopping (yardstick, fabric, bananas, blueberries, 3x5 cards, paper bowls, etc) and then home again.

I got some more study done in the evening.

Our very late dinner was sandwiches made of soy-nut butter and blueberry preserves on whole wheat bread. Just that.

Yum.

We got up very early this morning--yay--and were at the lab by 7:15 so I could have my blood drawn for some tests. The phlebotomist was nice but incompetent. My reward for having needles stuck in me so early in the morning was a grande decaf soy latte from Starbucks.

After, we stopped for breakfast at the co-op and I had a sausage and egg biscuit and Dave had a breakfast burrito.

Yum.

Back to studying.
