Blood Test Done, Sammich Nirvana Found

YAY. I finished the blood testing on Friday of last week. I took a half day, so that I wouldnt have to go back to work after the stupid test and so I could take my time doing whatever (rather than rushing back to work) and I really wanted Chipotle. I got everything done at the doctor's by 10:30am and I made a quick stop at the Eye Center for a new contact order. Done. Too bad my allergies have been so bad this week that I am wearing my glasses. Thank you for Systane eye drops.

I stopped at Whole Foods in Bellevue too because you can never have too many bags of frozen Alvarado St. Wheat Bagels (at least in Michael's mind) and I was unsuccessful in achieve the covenanted bagels. Oh well, I tried. I also successfully avoided the Mighty-O temptations in the bakery (I did not however avoid the little cream cheese cherry thinger. Baby steps.)

I was heading out back to Kenmore, when I was invited to join Michael for lunch (I was really wanting Chipotle - I still am!) I was tempted decline, but he was offering what was suppose to be an amazing Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwich. I accepted, went home to change - it had gotten a bit hot - and head over. Sammich Nirvana was never more amazing. I walked .8 of a mile to Paseo with Michael and his coworker, Jim, in the hot sun, after having done a fasting blood draw (not eating for 12 hours, just to have blood taken out of you!) I was beat. I wanted to quit. Then I smelled it. Heaven! It was 9 inches of crusty hoagie roll, topped with melt in your mouth pulled pork, with garlic mayo, Cilantro, lettuce, etc. I would have walked a lot farther (just on a different day) to get that sammich. Heck. I want one now!

Doctor's appointment is next week. Lucky me. Its not going to be good news!

Mmm, Paseo. Too bad they don't cater. Thank you for joining us for lunch! And don't worry about your blood test, everything will be fine.

Hope things turn out fine. But whatever the result - you can handle it. Nice to meet you at Cougar last Sunday! Michael is a lucky guy to have you and your support - but I am sure he knows that already! :) Take care.
