My lunch is not nutritious or healthy...just plain delicious. I know I should eat more than what I'm eating, but I'll do that when I get to Brian's house tonight.

I'm eating the Santa Fe Crunch mix...with little sesame sticks, cheese curls, pretzels, and toasted corn chips. It's a little on the spicy side, but eh...it's the only thing that I can eat in mass quantities and it doesn't give me heartburn! Woo!! I also have my can of Dr. Pepper (I know, not really what I should be drinking), but I can't help but drink Dr. Pepper. I did have a craving to water last night (haha...yeah...), but it has to be bottled water. I spoiled myself on the bottled water and I can't stand drinking tap water anymore. It tastes like CRAP...CRAP CRAP CRAP!! I have a Brita pitcher, so I might just go buy a filter for it and make my water. It tastes so much better...

ANYWAY, other than that...it hasn't been too horrible of a day (as predicted). I'm still a little exhausted and anxietized, but oh well. It happens.

OH, I was reading on the baby message board that I used to post on and they were talking about IV's and I just wanted to throw-up listening to them talk about it. Then my hand started throbbing (because they were talking about alternate places to put an IV rather than in your hand) and every time I squeezed my hand, all I could think about was the IV...I'm just so grossed out by IV's in general. I wanted to get educated about them because I know that they're just catheters and it's nothing that I should be afraid of, but seriously...I think IV's are on the top of my list of things that I HATE the most. I've had them on more than one occasion...once in the hand and once in the crook of my arm and it's not that I had a bad experience with them, I just do not like them.

The more I looked up information about them, the more that I felt uneasy about them, but WHY? I was reading that they use the 16 guage catheters when you donate blood (which I do all the time...when I could) and they use 18 guage ones for normal blood draws (which I have had a lot too recently). They even use smaller ones like 20 to 22 guage catheters for blood draws also (like in babies and whatnot)...so why am I freaking out about it? I mean, if we think in relation to things that I have already (i.e. earrings and piercings), it really shouldn't bother me that much. Normal earrings are 18 guage posts...I have my rook pierced, and that's either a 16 guage or a 14 (I don't remember) so that right there is as big as the damn IV needle...if not bigger. I had my eyebrow pierced, but I freaked out on that one and they put the 18 guage in when it should have been the 16 guage...lol...I REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!!!

Ugh...here I am getting worked up over needles...I told Brian that when they put that IV in my arm, anywhere in my arm (the hand, the wrist, the elbow), my arm will be limp and I will not use it while that needle is in there. They state that they use plastic catheters so they're more flexible in the skin...but seriously, a piece of hard plastic in the skin for hours on end is not flexible...A PIECE OF PLASTIC IS A LITTLE BENDY, BUT IT'S NOT FLEXIBLE!!!! When I think flexible, I think rubber tubing, really bendy...not bendy plastic?!

Okay, I'm overanalyzing this...lol

I'm going to go now before I pass out from talking about it...hehe

I don't mind needles. I have a bunch of piercings {tongue, belly button, industrial, etc} and shots don't really bother me either. I've never given blood or had an IV though, so I don't know if its any different. But just the idea of the needle doesn't bother me. I guess it just depends on who you are. :)

Needles
Well... I'm not sure... Taking shots are okay.... But extracting blood from the body.. I heard it's painful.. I'm afriad of pain( who doesnt?) maybe im wrong.. I might be the only one afraid of pain( not really just stuff thats really really painful)
