All anyone wanted to do was to go home

cornerofmadnessAll I wanted to do was bleed. Otherwise known as I had my second knee injection. Once again the ortho is 1 1/2 hours running late so now it's after 5 pm. Half the staff has cut out. Then there's me going I hope this doesn't bleed like last time.
Doc - I missed the superficial varicosities.
Removes horse's leg of a needle and there's blood. Everywhere. He puts on pressure. Takes it off. BLOOD.
Doc - But I missed the vessels
Me - Yeah my body doesn't care. It will take every opportunity to be a giant jackass.
Took a good 10 minutes of pressure to stop bleeding. At least the gel didn't come back out like last time.
Other than that earlier in the day my students got a first hand view of the sympathetic nervous system at play. Understanding heart rate and breathing effects are easy. What's less easy for students is the liver makes sugars to fuel the muscles.
Well everything in lab went to shit today. Stuff was missing. Entire kits gone. My handouts from yesterday are gone. Other hand outs I forgot weren't group projects so I didn't have enough. Eye safety solutions are missing from the safety station (WTF happened in this lab when I was gone) roof is still leaking.
And I'm getting angrier and angrier. Me and Bruce Banner have the same issue: we're always angry. My sugar went from normal to 350 and of course the dexcom keeps ringing. So every time it alerts I held it up so the students could see the effects of the sympathetic system. Maybe they'll remember it now.
What I Just Finished Reading:
When the Bones Sing - YA horror set in Arkansas, looking at reviews either you loved this or you two starred it, no in between. I loved it.
You Must Not Miss - not a bad book but then it hits a wall in the last quarter. Did not like the ending at all
Ghost Lore - an iffy horror graphic novel, glad it's from the library
Mozzarella Murder - a mystery novella that I started and finished while waiting on the doctor. It fits a popsugar prompt and was free on Amazon. Worth what I paid for it. It's forgettable.
What I am Currently Reading:
Turn of the Screw - OMG how was this so inspiration to gothic horror? It is so dull.
Disco Witches of Fire Island - bizarre so far and fun but tinged with sadness. This is bringing up pain. I lost a lot of gay friends in the late 80s early 90s to AIDS and that is a deep current in this one
A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer by Maxie Dara, having very mixed feelings. It's an interesting sentiment but the main character whines a lot and is so boo hoo everything I do goes wrong that she has a NAME for it (Sadim, the reverse of the midas touch)
What I Plan to Read Next: probably something from the popsugar line up plus the dozen arcs I have.
