what i hate about going to the doctor

so, yesterday i had to go over to stamford to get a physical just so that i could get cleared to get an eye operation next month (more on that later), and it reminded me of how much i hate going.

it wasn’t just because i don’t like getting blood drawn (i’m deathly afraid of needles), nor was it just because i’m uncomfortable with taking my shirt off in front of people.

it was because of two things: getting on the scale, and getting the hernia test. i’m not exactly a big fan of scales simply because i know that i’m overweight and need to lose weight, but today was a shocker. i thought i was 175, but i wasn’t. i’m currently 200lbs. 200!

i don’t even know where to start on that. so i’m not going to.

the hernia test wasn’t any better, since this was the first time that i had ever been around this doctor, and here he was feeling around the one part of my body that i wouldn’t even want the people i care about to even see, let alone actually touch. having a guy old enough to be your father checking to see if your balls are ok with his hands wasn’t exactly the way i wanted to start.

luckily for me, though, i was deemed healthy enough for surgery, despite being (incredibly) overweight. woohoo!

Not posting in a while isn’t exactly a good thing

Sorry about not posting in so long, but things have been a bit busy.

Moving stuff for May  Fair wasn’t all that big of a deal. That is, until some 8-year-old kid pointed at me and shouted “Hey look, its a monkey!” and then ran away laughing his little head off. You can’t please everyone, I guess.

Then there was the trip up to Curry. I guess that saying about how the third time’s a charm actually works, because there wasn’t any drama. None. Whatsoever. I got kinda worried when two of my friends didn’t go at each others throats (they’ve had a bit of a falling out), but if it was possible for them not to then I wasn’t going to complain.

Other than that, though, things have been a bit uneventful. I’m still applying for jobs (like the new PC Richards & Sons in Norwalk), and the local junior college is holding a bartending license class in June that I’ve gotten information about and will be applying to.

I guess this is all for right now, I’ll talk to y’all later.
