Blood Money

For a decade now, Peter's been doing medical studies for cash. They pay pretty well, if you don't mind being stuck with a needle up to 15 times a day! Well, he finally talked me into doing one myself. How can you resist $900 for four days, when only two of those days are actually "needle" days? You can tell that we're hard up for cash when I'm getting sucked into stuff like this. AARGH! Anyway, so this week we're both at Qualia where we will perform our lab rat duties. Peter gets $1,350 for his study and I get the aforementioned amount. WHEN, oh when will I be a dignified dentist's wife and don't have to resort so such measures? Just kidding. :) The irony is, last weekend I spent $75 on jewelry and Peter didn't quite understand how I could "afford" jewelry when we are selling our blood!? Will somebody please explain this to him!?
