Pins & Needles

I went for my blood test yesterday morning. This was the first time I've had a blood test in years, in fact I think it's been a decade since I last had to face a needle.

I used to have blood tests a lot as a kid - I was a sickly child LOL - so by the end of Primary School I was a pro at having a jab.

As I sat in the waiting room (for nearly an hour) I wondered if it would be any different or if it would hurt more because I hadnt had one for awhile.
Nope. It's just the same. Except for the unexpected little "spurt" of blood that escaped. It was very lucky that I was wearing a pair of my black work trousers...otherwise I might've been in trouble.
Or at the very least, been asked by a lot of very worried people if I was okay & needed an ambulance. But then once in the space of 4 weeks is quite enough of that!

And yes: I am writing this post at work. But I've finished all of my "real" work (what there was of it) AND also helped fold/stuff/seal 900 letters.
So I'm going to sit here until some more work falls on my desk...
