As I am down to my last bottle of insulin, I thought it would be expedient to arrange a visit to the doctor's office so I could get my prescription renewed before I was completely out. I set it up for today, at 4:40. At 4:10, I got home and found out that three of my roommates had the stomach flu. Oh great.
Kristin drove me to the doctor's office on her way to pick up gatorade for our hypovolemic roommates to drink. I got there and found out that their vaccinations office had already closed, so I couldn't get a last-minute flu shot. Darn. But I had a great appointment with my new favorite doctor, Dr. Fors. She is awesome, and got everything taken care of (prescription, lab recommendations, and a referral to the podiatrist) in record time. Then I got to go over to the lab and have some tests done. I thought I just had to get some blood drawn - no biggie. I arrived there and was handed the dreaded microalbumen cup. Joy. Much to my chagrin, I just couldn't do it. So I got the take-home version of the test. The blood test afterwards was a relief. AND I got a bugs bunny bandaid. Clearly worth the prick just for that.
I returned home and settled down to wait for the arrival of my own flu virus. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to get it though, after Kristin cleaned everything down with disinfectant (thanks Kristin! You're the bomb!). Anyways, my method was this: I would make something so delicious that I would refuse to throw it up, and then I wouldn't get sick. Creative, huh? Well, the delicious part worked. I am officially addicted to pan-fried tofu with spicy peanut sauce. It's amazing. I would suggest you go make it right now. Go ahead. I'll wait.
...okay, back now? That was delicious, wasn't it? All of my roommates were too sick to try it, so I ate two servings all by myself. Ha! Since that point, we've just been lazing about, the sick ones sleeping and the healthy ones studying. We're all keeping buckets by our bedside though.

P.S. Look what I did! I created these two pages, and I'm very proud of them:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Eggplant-Pasta-Sauce
http://www.wikihow.com/Deal-With-the-Flu-when-You-Have-Type-One-Diabetes
Plus, I've been marked a "rising star" by wikihow editors. I feel so cool.
P.P.S. Kristin is pretty much the most awesome person ever. She is taking care of everyone who is sick and has disinfected everything so I won't get sick (diabetes and junk, ya know?). Isn't she amazing?

Oh genie of the lamp
So, as my birthday is coming up, I feel that I am justified in posting a wish list. This is what I would ask a genie for if I had one. Also a little hint hint for mom and dad, eh? ;)
Mini loaf pans - I'm not sure whether these are the same size Mom has, but I love the size of her mini loaf pans.
Jesus the Christ - now this one's serious.
Laundry drying rack - We've already discussed this, but I think it's important enough to mention again. After all, look at this:
A time turner - P.S. did you notice that this link goes to the Harry Potter version of wikipedia? Awesome.
A food thermometer - awesome, no?
A waffle iron - Mine isn't working :'(
A planner - yes, I admit that I have too much going on to carry it all around in my head. Sigh.
An immersion blender - does this even need explaining? I like to make soup :)
A new pillow - seriously, I've had mine since 7th grade
A million dollars
A book about choosing a college major - by Henry B. Eyring, no less
An ipod - I know, so cliche. But I just haven't gotten over the theft of my last one, I guess....
A cure for this annoying eye allergy thing I have that makes me wear glasses all the time
While we're on that topic, a cure for diabetes would be nice too
Also, a cure for procrastination
A cure for world violence?
A Josh Groban CD
Hard shoes for Irish dance (tap shoes work)
Fun spices from Penzey's
A pair of TOMS shoes
A 9x13 pan
A personal assistant
These
I obviously need to stop late-night posting. I'm babbling on and not making any sense even to myself. So I will talk to you all later. If you happen to see a tarnished brass lamp with a genie inside, let me know. That would be nice.

P.S. I have physiology and organizational behavior tests that I need to get done in the next few days. I also have a spanish quiz and the practice LSAT on Saturday. What have I gotten myself into? I also signed up to be a part of the Honors Student Advisory Council, on the Public Relations committee (as soon as I told them that I knew how to work CS InDesign, I got shunted into that committee. I don't object. All the other members are of the male persuasion ;). And I'm going to host a chick flick night next week for my intramural basketball team. No word yet on whether any of the boys will actually attend, although Ian says he will if I make popcorn.

Isn't that ridiculous?
