I'm sick. My letter got returned. And I got the wrong bloodwork done.

In response to the fact that we didn't get a letter she had told us she had sent:

Wed. 2/5/2014
Yeah my letter got returned to me on Saturday. Awkward. I had a gut feeling I should have added a second stamp, but I only had 1 stamp in the first place so that would have involved going to the post office just to purchase a second stamp with money I don't have. It's all good though, I'm super sick today and barely have the physical strength to type out this email so I'm going to write a second one while my companions are napping (they're both sick too, but I can't nap on account of my adderall) and then mail them both together with a second stamp. I keep trying to eat some fruit or something so I can get some vitamins in me and get over this cold, but I'll take like 1 bite of an apple and then be in a coughing fit. Our kitchen looks like we're going for some sort of snow white-theme because of all of the apples with a single bite out of them.

Dad will be unhappy to know that I'm pretty sure I got the wrong blood test on Tuesday, I didn't even think to print out the email he sent about it. I showed up to the doctor and they assumed I was there for a check up or something, they hadn't heard anything about gluten or blood testing so I did my best to describe to them what I remembered about what I was looking for but I didn't know the name of it and I remembered you said that a standard gluten panel wouldn't cover it but that was all they had so I just said to test me for everything that might have something to do with gluten and then went to the blood lab and they took like 5 vials. If I had realized I was supposed to coordinate it all with the doctor myself, I would have asked for details and written stuff down but I figured if Sister Weaver was in communication with dad and had set up the appointment, she would have already taken care of communicating to the doctor what I was coming in for. So we spent 3 hours of our morning in various waiting rooms and I'm pretty sure I wasn't able to describe it well enough to even get the correct test, so we'll probably have to go back. Joy.

Okay I've sneezed 7 times (1 for each of my dwarfs) so that's my cue to excuse myself from the public library before I infect the general population.
