Pics from the Big Island.

I had to get blood drawn today but it was only one vial and really, I�m getting better with this sort of thing. I�m still extremely squeamish about injections but having blood taken out doesn�t bother me as much as it used to. I still have to admit though, that the instant I set foot over the threshold of the lab I turned into a babbling idiot.

This means I may have some answers soon about what my wacky, wacky hormones are doing. A good first step, all-in-all.

In the meantime, I�m dealing with the usual pending-migraine state that descends upon me during every period. But I�m not going to bitch about that, no, no, no. I�m going to instead distract you all from this topic with some pretty, pretty pictures. Here are some more pics from Hawaii:

Berries on the top of the crater.

Oh no!  Don’t go in there!

Clearly I paid close heed to the warning sign.

That means no swiping my stuff - text, images, etc. - without asking.

P.S. If you're emailing me, replace the [at] with @ in the "to" line. Oh, and if you put the word "journal" in the subject line it'll have a better chance of making it past my junk mail filters.
