Tomorrow I’m going into the doctor’s office to get my cholesterol checked. Yippee. I hate going to the doctor, much less going to the doctor to volunteer getting my skin punctured by a sharp needle.<\/p>\n
I’m doing it because I bought life insurance recently…as always, they come and take blood samples (you know, they give you life insurance if you’re healthy and I assume you’re screwed if you’re not; great health system eh?) Anyway, the result came back that I’m doing very well with my health but they said my cholesterol was JUST<\/em> high enough not to qualify for their super special rate. Just the GOOD<\/em> rate they originally quoted me.<\/p>\n Now my wife hears that an automatically the “GOOD” rating is suddenly interpreted as being so bad that I can’t have ice cream, savor a burger, or even drive out for a good breakfast at Cinnamon’s (eggs benedict mmm) without getting a major stink eye from her. So now I gotta have this test just so I can have my eggs benedict in peace. Summmamabeeatch.<\/p>\n On other news, I’m itching to get my new business cards in. Yeah, finally after 4 years I finally come up with a new card design for myself. This one costs me $.84 per business card. YOWTCH. It’s either going to turn out super fancy dancy and I’ll get new attention, and hopefully new business, as a result of it. OR it’s going to turn into another printing disaster like what happened to me a few weeks ago and I’ll be down another few hundred bucks on bad printing. I’m a big advocate of the business card though — it’s the best first impression marketing piece in existance. I figure I better put my money where my mouth is (or is it mouth where my money is?) and dish out some dough on a good card. I’ll report back on this when I get my cards in another couple days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tomorrow I’m going into the doctor’s office to get my cholesterol checked.
