Stuff, Things, etc.: A tasty sugary drink

I would've blogged this yesterday if I had been on top of things…

My doctor wanted to see if any of the issues I've had in the last year or so have been caused by a metabolic disorder. She suggested an insulin and glucose test. I've had my insulin tested before but never with the glucose test. This meant I got to take this morning off work, drive to the Air Force Academy at 6am and have "fasting" bloodwork done at 7:00 when the lab opened.

It was snowing when I got there which was fabulous because it's September and I thought I'd left Alaska awhile back. I did the math (okay, not really) and figured out that I've spent more of my adult life in snow than out of snow.

Then, I got to down the "glucose drink". I was kind of nervous about this because I'd heard about it before and there was an awful lot of it for me to drink and it was pretty early in the morning. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was tasty! Like, I enjoyed it. Is THIS what the pregnant ladies always complain about? It was the best part of the first few hours of my day considering that, after my 5am wake-up call, I got to sit in a waiting room and grade papers while I waited 2 hours for the glucose to settle (or whatever it does).

Not gonna lie: I'd drink it again.

Then I treated myself to breakfast at Panera and it was fabulous.

Then I went back to school and the chaos and permanent headache ensued.

Actually, I shouldn't say that. I like my schedule and I like my kids. I….like my schedule and I like my kids. A lot of my coworkers are pretty fabulous too.

Oh, and a book recommendation: Adam Carolla's In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks. I read some of this in the waiting room and I'm pretty sure everyone around thought I was seizing because that's how funny it was. Don't read it if you're easily offended. He's a middle-aged white man who tells the truth. I appreciate that.
