Of sore arms and sleepless nights

Normally I am thrilled to have sore arms because it means I have been doing some major working out and toning up, but not today. Today my arms are sore due to giving 4 vials of blood for various tests and recieving 5 of the 10 needed shots. The guy taking my blood was so busy flirting with my co-worker, he was not really paying attention. He blew the vain (which I am used to) and tied the rubberband thing so tight, I could not feel my fingers. Then he had me gripping a squishy ball (it was all I could do to keep from dropping it), but forgot to tell me to let go of it when he pulled the needle out, causing it to bleed more than necessary. Thankfully, he did not give me the shots (he would have if it weren't for the fact that I had to remove my shirt). The shots actually did not hurt at all going in (ok, one hurt a little), but about five hours later, my arms were REALLY sore. I laid in bed with my arms to the side. I couldn't lift them above my head because that hurt, and I definitely couldn't lay on my side because that hurt even more, so a laid there, staring up at the ceiling fan as it went round and round, wishing I could just fall to sleep. I did, eventually... at 2 A.M., just to be awoken by my alarm at 4:30. I am SO tired. Can I just go back to bed already?!

Partly sunny with a 99% chance of... dust?!



I came across this weather forecast and thought it quite amusing. I have heard of hazy, cloudy, sunny, and other such weather, but "widespread dust?!" I didn't think dust was a weather condition, but apparently, in some places of the world, it is. I wanna go! =P
