I was way overdue for routine blood tests. If i slept all night i think it would be easier to keep up with it but being up half the night just makes it difficult to not eat or drink anything for 14 hours.
I finally decided to get it over with. 14 hour fast here i come! It started out well. Iwent to bed at 8:30 and slept through till 3. clutter control, wash, keeping focused on not eating or drinking anything
else to throw me off task. with a few hours to go.. i kept busy with banking and writing up the last few bills. Still time to kill.. i decided just to go back to bed.
when i finally returned to the land of the living, i had near the required 14 hours fasting accomplished.
had a glass of water, walked and fed the dogs.. and finally i was ready to go. 20 minutes to get to the lab with a stop at the post office to mail the bills, fourteen hours. then the wait for my turn. another half hour... i was covered. While waiting, i decided to treat myself to breakfast. it would be way over 14 hours. no matter how long it takes to order food and for that food to arrive in front of me, orange juice comes right away!
Blood drawn and i was finally on my way.
I had a hankering for a Greek omelet. what i got was a spinach omelet with feta cheese and hollandaise sauce. It was to die for! I don;t recall ever having anything with hollandaise sauce on it but it was GOOD!
Later that same day. chatting with a friend. we discussed the breakfast, was it really that good, or was i just starved and cardbard would have tasted good?? i will have to go back and see if a second omelet is as good, but i have found that being hungry always makes food taste better.
