Everything is happening at the same time and I am too anxious to enjoy the fun parts. Adrian is helping me clean the turtle tank. Somehow, he is lying on the ground between the tank and the wall and a turtle climbs out. Thinking I will probably have to catch it, maybe move the tank, maybe accidentally crush it, I am pleasantly surprised when he shouts, "I got it!" I am expecting him to tip it gently back into the tank but he throws it instead and it belly flops with a great splash. Seems ok thougg. I am draining the tank with a tiny cup that is also for a urine sample at the clinic in the next room. Didn't expect a surprise test. Just ate a granola bar so my blood sugar will be high. Wanda E is getting tests done, too. Same condition. We are both naked and I'm feeling exposed. The blood test will be at the hospital but maybe I won't go. Wanda introduces me to her husband. We are talking about who has been laid off. I shouldn't tell. I am struggling to get dressed when the nurse gives me some internet links to the band across the street. I am checking out the links and the band members are partying in my garage with other friends and neighbours. I say, "Neighbours should always jam together," but the guitarist looks strangely at me. "What's 'jam'?" Maybe I am using an old term. Don't musicians still jam? The links are interesting. Lots of videos running at the same time. I look at the source code - that is what the nurse wanted me to see! A new code that allows multiple video windows to stream all at the same time! Great for band fan sites! The kids are in the waiting room so I have time to whip over to the hospital to fail my blood test. I want to call Uber but I didn't bring a mask, so I must walk. I am being chased. There is a war over pool noodles and everyone wants one, but we must save the red and orange ones for the Fire Float on the lake. I take a short cut through the woods. There is a dead man lying on the ground, protector of the noodles, his stomach cut and guts pulled out. He is dressed for the 1600's. I have to get to the lake to build the float Up high on the ridge is a large, modern conference style building with a long, sliding barn door. Safety? I push it open even though it's Sunday and walk in. Two middle aged hostesses in an office ask me what I need. "Blood test," I tell them and they point down the hall.
