Feeling a little prick

These are the bane of life.

I have to have regular blood tests, every 2-3 weeks and I really hate having them. I'm not really afraid of needles, it's just the whole time-wasting monotony of the process.

Get there early; park and find change for the machine; wait for your turn; make smalltalk and be pleasant even if you're not really up to it; "you'll just feel a little scratch" or " you'll just feel a little prick"; thank everyone.

All makes me feel very exhausted.

And I know I'll have to repeat the process in 2-3 weeks.
