ER and Taxes. What a mix.

I am tired.

From 4pm on Thursday, to 11pm, I was in the ER. I'll spare you the gory details. Mostly I was just there so long because the nurses couldn't get a good vein (something about valves), and so they had to take my blood about ten times because the blood kept clotting before they could get it tested. The nurse said they were just too slow in the lab, but either way, my blood was flowing lol. They had to use a syringe to get my blood out, fifteen minutes per syringe. And when one of the nurses was filling up the tube from the syringe, she spilled my blood all over the blanket. *face:palm*

So, end of story, I'm okay, but I feel absolutely exhausted, and dehydrated. And yet, I still have class today from 830 to 6. Yay....

Oh, and while I was there, the doctor told me that apparently there's a very nasty, new strain of the Noro virus going around. He said something about cruise ships, and people needing lots of IVs. Thankfully, I don't have it.

Did my taxes yesterday. Brock and I decided to still get them done at H&R Block, and I'm glad we did. The woman who prepared our taxes told us that the IRS isn't even going to touch any returns with education credits on them until the last week of February or the first week of March. Pleasant huh? Apparently, with all the fraud happening they want to make sure they're not being duped. She said that we should expect to hear from the IRS in two years about our return, to prove that we did indeed have those education expenses.

Joy. I'm both surprised, and really really not, that my teacher has not told us this. She's a professional accountant (but she does so much stuff that she can barely keep up), so I don't know if she simply has been too busy to mention it to us, or if she doesn't know. Nevertheless, I will be sharing my new found knowledge today at class/work.

Anyway, it's nice to have Brock at home. He's supposed to get pinned for sergeant on Tuesday. He was going to on Friday, but then I got sick and he sort of missed it. Ah, c'est la vie.

Well, hopefully today is not busy, like last Saturday, so that I will have a lot of down time. But who knows.

On another note, my dog is most definitely a snow child. I think she's sad that it's all melted in the back yard. :)

Well, I'm off to (possibly) take a nap until I have to go to school. Have a fabulous weekend. o.O
