Had an appointment with my doctor yesterday to go over my latest labs. My PCP was called away, so I saw one of his associates.

I know, I know---it's been a while since I've actually posted, but I read Live Journal every day and comment quite often. I want to start posting more, as lots of old friends are returning to LJ from Facebook or Twitter or other venues.
