Drinkin' pimple juice

Actually, it's pineapple juice, but my mom and I like to call it pimple juice. lol.

So today has been somewhat eventful. We went to the lab because Mom had to have a blood test done, but there were, like, 25 other people there, so we had breakfast at the restaurant in the same plaza. I had a waffle with a side of breakfast sausages. It was yummy. And filling, since it's ten after eleven and I don't feel hungry. I may not eat lunch for another couple of hours.

I tried to do some polynomials, but I may have to redo some of them, because they have mixed symbols - a plus and a minus. I hate those kinds of polynomials, because you have to figure out if it has to be positive or negative. And usually, when you times a positive by a negative, you get a negative (see? I remember at least one of the algebraic principles!), so if you're times-ing the factors at the beginning of the polynomial, you'd wind up with all negatives - but, at the end you have to have a positive in there. So yeah... re-writing must be done before I can say that the polynomials are finished. eep.

My Labyrinth fanfiction is coming along nicely. I've also started a crime story that I wrote down in a notebook a few days ago - basically, I wrote down a paragraph, the plot, and a few character names in the notebook, and today I started it in Word, and it's taking shape better than the paragraph I'd written in the notebook.

So, I don't think I'm going to youth group tonight, because I think Dad's working this evening. I'm not too bothered, though. As long as people don't bitch me out for missing three meetings, I'm happy.

The weather's nicer today. It was chilly this morning, though - about 32 degrees farenheit - so I wore my ski jacket. There's still patches of snow here and there, but not as much as yesterday.

The blood work is DONE!

At first, I thought we wouldn't get down to the lab, because Dad got dizzy in the shower. He thinks it may have been from lack of caffeine, because he always has a coffee in the morning. It's his fuel. But we did get to do our blood work.

Normally I don't get dizzy from blood work, but this time I did. So when the woman who took the blood sample asked me if I was dizzy, and I said yes, she told me to go lay down for a bit. When she came back, I sat up and felt better, so she handed me the bottle for the urine sample and said to go do that. Afterwards we went to the Golden Griddle in that same plaza, where I devoured a waffle and four breakfast sausages.

Then it was back home to let the dogs out, then off to the dentist's. We were early, so we stopped at the Bulk Barn in that plaza because Mom needed to get dried cherries, then we went in for our appointment. And, of course, I was the last of us three to go in. On the upside, though, I didn't have to have fluoride! YES! Also, they cleaned my flipper (my fake tooth), because it was so stained from drinking stuff like tea, hot chocolate and Pepsi. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth gave me more floss, and she said that I have a small mouth and that it was difficult for her to floss the back teeth, and told me that if I feel any pain back there that I should call them. Mom said that my wisdom teeth may not give me trouble. Well, my main concern is getting the post for my fake tooth in my mouth and getting the gum grafting on the bottom teeth done, then if my wisdom teeth start paining me, I'll take care of them after.

Now all I have to do is finish Justin's scarf and wrap presents. And help Mom with the holiday baking if she needs any help.

ETA: Just so you know, my dad is alright. I think he was just tired from not having his usual intake of caffeine, but afterwards he said he was feeling okay.

I screwed up my fasting...

...So now I have to have the blood and urine tests done tomorrow, before our dentist appointment, because I accidentally ate.

Oh, and I found out on Saturday that Nathan isn't giving us Christmas pressies because there's not enough money - which probably means he spent his money on his 'new family'. I'm not trying to be greedy or anything, I just thing that if he got us each something small, like an ornament, that would be nice, and relatively inexpensive, but no - he chose the coward's route.
