Gulf Breeze Zoo





Hi Everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted anything. Mostly because it's been a while since we've done anything very exciting! Last weekend we went to the zoo in Gulf Breeze. It's a little small, but it has some really cool things to see. The snake exhibit was really neat. They had pythons, constrictors and anacondas. These things were huge! They also had black bears, lions, and tigers. I didn't get too many great pictures. A lot of them were through fences, so they didn't turn out. There were a couple of opportunities to get some good shots though. I hope you all are having a good week! Only 1 more day until Friday!!!

1st Visit

I went to the doctor yesterday. This was for a three hour class about nutrition and other various things. Then I had a TB test done. Finally I went to the lab for some blood work. Oh, the poor poor soul who was assigned to me. This very nice Navy man called me back into the room. He could tell I was very nervous as I always am when I have to do this sort of thing. One vile in things go wrong and he has to switch arms. Half way through that vile, boom, I pass out. The poor guys felt so bad. He kept rushing me ice and water. After I came to they reassigned me to a more experienced nurse who then knocked out the next 6 viles very quickly. I've nver been one for giving blood. This happens every time which is why I haven't made a habit of it. Can't wait until the next time. That should be great fun to watch a giant pregnant lady slump over in a pool of her own sweat! Gross I know, but what fun would it be if I had to keep this from all of you!
Well, I'm not sure when my next appointment will be. My "primary care manager" doesn't have any openings for a while. I'll keep you posted though. Hopefully the next time won't be quite as graphic. Ok, I'm off to finish my meal of saltines and water! How long does this last anyway?
