let them eat cakesicles
There are trends in the baking world. Cupcakes have been all the rage in the last couple years, but now get ready for...
Cake pops! Cake Popsicles! OMG! Too cute. Must try one day. TOO CUTE. To see the Mistress of Cake Pops, go to Bakerella.

another chore bites the dust
Driver's license/health card renewed.
Passport
renewal packed up, ready to take to the post office (to send registered mail.)I think it was life coach Debbie Ford
who once said that having a bunch of undone "to do's" saps your energy, and I completely agree.Speaking of energy, I'm ready for a nap. Having worked 2 day shifts, followed by the step-mommy visiting, then the blood appt yesterday, I've somehow started waking up earlier in the day. But then I need my nap in the afternoon (as opposed to at 8 PM.) Friend Gilby once perfectly described why naps are so tempting: Going to bed feels like a chore; taking a nap feels like a luxury.

No bloodsucking today
Got up early today, had to go to Victoria Hospital 
for a blood appointment. The last time I got phlebotomized was in January 2008... cancelled an appt in Feb 08 because I was sick... never rescheduled.
I did not get a shaming from the doctor, however, because it turns out my results in Jan 08 were good--my ferritin (which reflects the amount of iron in your system) was back in the acceptable range.
So they just took a blood test,
and I'm to go back in 6 months. Yay! No monthly appointments for now! Hemochromatosis is easier managed with women, because we dump some blood each month. So my doctor's only treatment advice for now? "Keep having periods."
Fernando came to my appointment with me... we had to wait 3 hooouuuurs. And even though I'd nagged him to bring a book with him, he didn't want to read it because it wasn't *the right atmosphere.*
After we went for breakfast, and ran into Jen & Chris (a couple we know because of the church they and Fernando grew up in, but who are now tattoo moguls.)

Noisy dwarves
Some little twerpy kid is riding around on, like, a moped. A moped for 7 year olds?? This seems like a terribly stupid idea, to put a child on something that goes that fast. (Now his dad's following him on his motorcycle.)
But what's worse (because I don't really care whether this parent kills his own child) is that the moped is NOISY. And he's riding it up and down the parking lot, baaack and forth.
(Look at the left side of the picture, in the middle.)
