I wrote my last midterm of the term this morning. Overall it is has been a good midterm season; but this last one was, as we say, sadtimes. I think I'll just scrape enough marks together to pass.

( Boring midterm run down...you have been warnedCollapse )

Any way, with the end of midterms, I get to turn my attention back to...assignments! I went to bed early last night, as in soon after I got home from my exam and was actually rested this morning.

My stores of homemade soup run low, hopefully I get to make some more this afternoon. I finished the last of the borscht for breakfast this morning. The herbs on the balcony are starting to the die off. Except for the rosemary, despite the first snow today, it still looked cheery and green under the ice. The green tomatoes I brought in have started to ripen on the counter. Today I am going to see if the peppers are fine still green.

I got some disturbing news from my mother. There has been a rather serious scandal in the *grits teeth* lovely small town where I went to high school. It appears health care workers at the local health center were reusing syringes.

Seeing as I had my wisdom teeth out in two surgeries, one in the Summer of 2004 and the other in Summer of 2005, I guess I get to call the toll-free number and find out if I need to be tested.

This may mean no blood donation tonight.

Halloween party Friday night, trip to Guelph on Saturday....assuming I get OS finished....

EDIT: Canadian blood services has their shit together better than any of the other half dozen health organizations I just got through calling. Their response was to say that seeing as all my tests with them, in 2006, in 2007 and 2008, have come back negative, and the exposure was so long ago, I am as far as they concerned, just fine, and good to come in tonight.
