fitting start to a monday

I got up extra early this morning to go to the local lab for some routine blood work. During my last physical, my doctor asked me to stop by the lab and give them some some blood so they can check for cholesterol and all that good stuff. I put it off for a week and decided that Monday morning was going to be the day to do it.

It was 50* when I left the house this morning. I cranked up the heat and the butt warmers in the car and set off for the lab, but when I arrived IT WAS CLOSED. Not just closed for now, but closed, moved out, left no forwarding address. Fuckers.

I found their new address when I got home, but now I have to get up extra early again this week and do this bullshit. I mean, it's not bullshit, but I really value my sleeping time! I can't have anything before I go to the lab, so I want to do it as early as possible to get it out of the way. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

One thing I noticed as I was driving around so early this morning is that people drive s-l-o-w so early in the morning. Usually I am posting about how fast the assholes down here drive, but more than once I had to look around at the other cars to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. The traffic on a few streets was crawling along at 15 mph and it wasn't because there was a wreck or a lot of traffic. People were just driving slow.

Florida is such a strange place.
