in small doses

today, i had to have a glucose test to determine whether or not i have gestational diabetes (just as a precaution). i had to fast from midnight last night until 1:30 this afternoon. that's because i didn't wake up until 10 AM, so i got to the hospital at 10:30. they drew my blood, made me wait twenty minutes and then i had to drink this extremely sugary orange soda stuff, wait an hour, give blood again, wait another hour and give blood one last time. then i ate a peanut butter sandwich, pop tarts, a chicken sandwich and some popcorn chicken. i was starving. then i took a nap for two hours. i don't know the results yet. while sitting in the waiting room, i played tetris on my laptop and felt really sleepy and the workers at the lab were way too cheerful.
