Yea!

MIL watched the kids til DH got home and I went in for labs and they took 7 vials of blood. I asked the lady if there was going to be any blood left! These are labs the rheumatologist wants; I am looking forward to seeing the results. So now that's done.

I also got my glasses fixed today. I braved the mall to go to the Pearl Vision store. One post (of 4) on the bridge had broken and I was keeping one lens straight with a little piece of scotch tape. I took them in and the store replaced the whole bridge piece. Only one little thing - my frames are burgundy and the new bridge piece is gold colored. BUT it was FREE! I have a check up scheduled for next week and then I'll know if I need new lenses and then I'll decide what to do about the frame. I bought some dark burgundy nail polish and may try to fix it.

I stopped to pick up pizza and there was an older man at the check out. I recognized him and he said, "Hi! I bet you didn't think you'd see me here, did you?" I thought it was a strange question, but I was thinking he was referring to the fact that he lives next door and I came all the way to Keyser to see him. I told him no, and asked how he was. He said good and that he was picking up pizza for the kids. I was thinking that I didn't realize he had company so soon before Christmas. I needed to run to the Hallmark store a couple stores away while they fixed my pizza, and said, "See you later, Lewis." He didn't respond, but I thought maybe he didn't hear me. I went to the Hallmark store and stopped at the Fashion Bug store, too. When I came back, he was still there. I tried to make some small talk and told him that my kids like his decorations in the front yard. He was confused; what decorations? I said the reindeer in the chimney and Santa. He told me he does not have a Santa in his yard. I started thinking I was wrong; that the inflatable thing was from last year. I explained what I was talking about. He said he doesn't live here and where did I think he lives. I said his address and he said he lives in Cumberland. I was thinking, "What the heck!" He kept talking and I realized . . . he's not my neighbor! He's our pastor's wife's dad! I think they took too much blood! It went straight from my brain to my arm, I guess. I laughed and asked if he was Diann's dad. He said he is, and I asked if he knows who I am. He knows I go to church there, but doesn't know my name. I explained that he looks like my neighbor and that I was confused.

I told DH what happened and he looked at me like I had completely lost it. I still think there's a strong resemblance. I guess I am just a kook.

I am bummed. I wanted to see "my shows" tonight - Criminal Minds and Project Runway - and neither was a new episode. I was just reading the episode info on CM and I could swear the listing said it was a new episode, but when the show came on, it was a repeat. Am I really just losing it? I guess it's time for bed, eh?
