The exercise:
Beware the ides of March, for they bring tidings of: fast.
Okay, maybe it's not such a scary time after all.
All definitions of the word welcome, of course. My take was inspired by my experience yesterday morning - I had to go in for a blood test that required me to fast for it. Those ones are firmly entrenched at the bottom of my list of blood tests.
I may or may not actually have said list of blood tests, ranked from Misery to Just Shoot Me.
Okay, I don't. But I should.
Mine:
"And how long have you been fasting?"
"Since ten o'clock last night," I reply over the rumbling complaints coming from my belly.
"Twelve hours, right on the dot," the lab tech says with a smile. "Very impressive."
"I know the instructions say twelve to fourteen hours, but I can't imagine you get many people who are at the far end of that range."
"Just the keeners," she says, tapping away at her keyboard.
