Paint Party Friday - Cat

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! Thanks to Kristin and Eva for always hosting. This piece is called 'Cat', is done in watercolour crayon in my sketchbook (9" x 12").

At the Blood Lab

This is a shot of my sister's cat, she has the most amazing green eyes! However, she was eating the spider plant next to her, not sure if that's even good for her.

I had gone over to take my mom for her monthly blood test. The doctor monitors her blood clotting levels as she has a heart condition. Our local blood lab gets busier and busier. This time we waited over an hour for her test. We were number 85 and they were serving number 59 when we got there. It really depends when you get there as the crowd ebbs and flows. Fortunately we got seats after a little while.

The lady sitting next to us said it was her first time at this lab and wondered if it was always so crowded. A man came in with a lady. It seemed he was feeling dizzy and he needed some tests. The attendant apologized and told him he had to take a number. Someone gave him a seat and he promptly fell asleep. Maybe he should have gone to emergency. Then a couple of cute pre-school aged kids came in with their caregivers. They wore the cutest winter hats, reminding me of how my daughter would always pull hers off. One of the kids was the cutest little boy. His mom had made an appointment for a DNA test for the boy. Hmm. It was hard to keep him entertained while they waited in the crowded lounge. At one point, I heard him say 'mommy, you're mean!' She denied it as she restrained him. He said 'yes, you are'. His grandma was there and helped to keep him occupied as only a grandma can do. Happily, our number came up and then it was time to get on with the rest of our day.
