Ollie has brought in the same giant grasshopper twice, once last night and once this morning. He is so proud when he walks in with it, and then he drops it and proceeds to wreck the house trying to catch it again.

Had a doctor’s appointment today at 5. On Friday, they called and asked me to come at 4:30. I did not see the doctor until 5:45.
Also, they’re shutting down their lab so I can’t get my blood taken by my favorite phlebotomist (the only one who can find my vein) ever again.

Got my nail scissors confiscated at the airport yesterday despite having also had them in my carry-on for the outbound flight (and every other flight I’ve ever taken in my life)

Businesses that close at 5 on weekdays.

As expected it took 2 people and 3 pokes to get my blood at the other place. I miss the good phlebotomist already.

I’m fussy about peanut butter. I want no added salt or sugar, but the peanut butter can’t separate. There was one brand that made this peanut butter. I bought a case of it a couple of years ago.
The case is almost used up and they don’t make it any more.
I went to four grocery stores this morning and bought zero peanut butter.\
I might die.

My wife says to try to find a Chinese phlebotomist. By that she means someone actually from China. According to her, they get so much practice that they’re amazingly skilled. Our doctor and accompanying staff are all from China, and I have no complaints.

Justin’s Peanut Butter should work for you! The only other ingredient besides peanuts is the palm oil you need to make it no-stir. They definitely still make it, though it may not be stocked everywhere. But you can order it online from Target, for example.
I don’t really have much choice. I go where my insurance says and get my blood taken by whoever is on staff that day.
I guess I could be high maintenance and ask to go straight to whoever does the harder cases instead of waiting until the random person I’m assigned fails and has to call them over anyway.

I am not in America.
Ah, I see, sorry to give unhelpful advice then. I hope you can find what you’re looking for somewhere.

If I get bored/ desperate enough I’ll do a road trip across the border for peanut butter. Or I’ll suck it up and keep on keeping on.
I’m sorry about your phlebotomist. A good one is like gold.

This may be a funny question, but can you transport peanut butter across borders? I’m sure you’d have to give it up if you flew, but in a car would they care? Sounds funny, but my wife once had to give up her oranges when she came down to the USA from Canada…even though they were California grown!

It’s no problem.
My aunt used to live next to the border, so her closest grocery store was in the states. She did all her grocery shopping across the border, other than produce.

I would do that, zygote. It’s not high maintenance, it’s making a potentially difficult process much smoother for everyone involved.

It’s what I do. My experience has been 50/50 on whether or not they listen to me and bring me the right person, but I figure that means I have a better experience 50% of the time!

I keep forgetting to grab or do everything I need when I’m upstairs. But if I do too many trips my pelvis will get very mad at me.
