I had my yearly physical today and it went by fine. I worked from home today so that I could get some work done. Anyways I woke up at 8:15, started coding at around 8:30. I spent the whole day trying to fix a bug I created yesterday. It wasn’t anything major but still damn hard to figure out. By 2:30 I hadn’t figured out what was wrong, and my appointment was at 3:20 so I thought I will just fix it when I get home. So I left my house at 2:30 and got to the doctors office at 3:00.
Since I had some time to kill I got a pizza slice and then went up to check in. The receptionist said he was pretty backed up so I went back downstairs and wandered around Price chopper, shoppers, and chartwell for a bit before just heading back upstairs.
I sat in the waiting room for about an hour reading random magazines before I actually saw the doctor.
The physical went by okay. I weigh 105 pounds and he didn’t check my height so I don’t know how tall I am. The last time I went for a physical was two years ago so not sure if my weight went up or down, he said it was fine so I didn’t really care. I imagine the blood work is what will piss him off. I have had slightly high cholesterol for 3 years now I guess. I doubt it will change much this year, I hope it didn’t go up.
Anyways, I left the doctors place at 4:40ish, took the bus to Woodside to place a perscription for some special scream for my eczema. I then proceeded to take the bus back home and got in at around 6. I am not running some test cases for my programs to make sure I didn’t break anything and will probably call it a day very soon.
In other news I got Harry Potter 5 hard cover. I need to buy 3 more books in hardcover to finish my collection. It would be 2 if someone would just return my harry potter 1! What kind of crazy person steals a book, if only I were more diligent with keeping track of who had my stuff. I now have delicious library so I am a little better, for example cheryl has my, “A time travelers wife”, Jo has a complicated kindess, and raymond has glass castle. Also note that all 3 books were great.
Also should I get electric drums? Like real electric drums? Acoustic drums would be nice but my parents would go crazy if I actually had those in the house. Electric drums may not be too bad because I could plug them into my iMac and do stuff, like this. Actually I can’t do that, he seems to use some kind of midi sampler or something funky. Anyways its still a cool video. The problem with an electric drum kit is I wouldn’t have a cowbell so people wouldn’t be able to say “We need more cowbell”.

Are you supposed to eat before the blood test?

I didn’t have the blood test today. I need to get that done on the weekend. This part of the physical is all the regular stuff, then I will make another appointment in a few weeks to go over the results from the blood work. The way it works is no food for 12 hours, just water.
