High And Dry

Oooh, a trip out, exciting!  

I had to go for a blood test (nothing alarming) this morning.  For a needlephobe (retired) like me, this is never my favourite pastime but it has to be suffered.  Unfortunately, today, my veins did not get the memo and no blood was spilled.   My nurse asked how much I'd had to drink today and I replied that I'd had one cup of tea.  Not enough it seems as dehydration is the phlebotomists dread. I was despatched with both an instruction to drink more* before tomorrow and a flea in my ear. 

*I asked if wine would help as it looks like blood but it seems that's what got me into this situation in the first place.
