Because I had a doctor's appointment late this afternoon that would involve a lipid panel blood draw, I didn't eat anything other than a banana for breakfast. So imagine my disappointment when my appointment, which was scheduled for 4.20 pm, dragged on until after 5 pm. The reason for the disappointment: the lab where you get your blood taken closed at 5 pm. So I fasted and suffered hunger pangs for nothing. And I've got to go in again tomorrow to get my blood taken. What a pain in the ass. Note to self - stick to early morning doctors' appointments in the future.
