march day twenty one: transportation

Today I snapped a photo of one of the longest escalators in the DC Metro System. It is not a great photo as I was feeling terrible, but I tried. Fun fact: DC has some of the longest escalators in the country.

I took this picture this morning on my way to the doctor. My allergies have done nothing but get worse over the past week so I decided a trip to the doctor was in order. After meeting with my doctor, she confirmed that I am not sick and that I just need different allergy medications. She wrote me a prescription and gave me a new spray. As I was about to walk out of the office, she stopped me and asked me to go back in. She wanted to draw blood for an allergy test.

The Phlebotomist (first one I ever met!) came in and asked me a few questions. I told her I had never had my blood drawn before but she told be I would be fine. Minutes later, I had a needle in my arm and thought I was good to go… until I passed out. Oops. I never really thought I had a problem with needles/ blood/ etc but today proved me wrong. It turns out you need to eat before blood is drawn-- no one told me! So, I plan on heading back Friday and I am hoping for a much less eventful trip.
