★ Tonight's phlebotomy class: we spent the entire two hours practicing draws since it was the first night we were able to invite volunteers to perform venipunctures on. I'm still not comfortable with the butterfly needle but I handled it a bit better tonight than I did last week. I had two unsuccessful draws where my instructor asked me to relocate the needle to find the vein and I was unable to do so but on a third draw I managed to do it...I do feel a little less intimidated at the thought of moving the needle after entry now, at least.
★ About a month ago, I signed up to donate clothes/household items to the Epilepsy Foundation. I've been trying to organize the house for months and I figured it would be good for motivation to have a set date where someone would come over and take away a bunch of unnecessary things.
Anyway, the pick-up is tomorrow morning and I haven't put together a single bag. Good job, me!
★ Been thinking of getting a Himalayan salt block for cooking meals. I don't have a reason for it except that it sounds delicious but I'm worried about how unsanitary it could get. Seems difficult to clean and I'm not sure how I'd store it safely. I also have an electric range which doesn't look ideal for a salt block...but, I do grill in the winter and grilling seems to be the preferred method of cooking when using a salt block.
★ Another Anime Con is THIS WEEKEND and I'm not ready at all. Like I need to get my costumes dry-cleaned level of unprepared. It's also supposed to snow today and tomorrow and for this year only, the convention is about 20 minutes further away from me, due to the usual venue being under construction right now. What a pain.
★ I don't really need another dress in my wardrobe but that hasn't stopped me from considering one for Christmas. Specifically, I'm trying to decide whether to get this Gloomth dress in mint green or light pink:
I am leaning towards mint green because I think I look better in that color, but the pink version is very cute and might be a little easier to build a coordinate with.
