With the start of the summer season kicking off this weekend many of us are thinking about what we need to make summer play a success.

I went to a new physician's office to get my blood drawn. Now i'm afraid I made a really bad mistake!

1. The blood work procedure room was really tiny and seemed to double up as a storage room. No sink or sanitizer bottle in place.

I haven't looked into this much, because I just always figured "they don't mix, so don't bother researching it." Also, what can I say, I'm depressed and exhausted, so the last thing I wanna look into is this, but I am worried I may not be able to tough through like I thought I would. I know the best person to ask would be a doctor or psychiatrist,
