Hottest Blood Draw Ever

In order to get the SBA loan for The Franchise, I had to get life insurance. In order to get life insurance, I had to get a physical. The life insurance company will send somebody right to your house to do the blood draw and get the urine sample.

I was standing on our porch waiting for the blood draw person to arrive (if it's your first time at our house, it's not entirely clear which door to use). While I was waiting, this guy on a motorcycle pulled up. He took off his helmet, ran his fingers through his hair, then asked, "Are you Associate Girl."

"YES!"

"I'm here to do your blood work and get a urine sample."

I usually don't greet people who say that to me with such a big smile.

While he was drawing my blood, I asked him if he was a nurse or a phlebotomists.

"Neither," he said. He paused for effect, then said, "I'm a fireman."

There is a long standing joke in my family about my love for fireman. I do not know where it began (I think it was before Denis Leary, although that helps). Anytime we see one, or even just a truck, my husband asks me if I would like to get out of the car. And here was a real live fireman in my living room!

Then he tells me about how he fights fires and as a side job he does blood draws. And he's really good at it. I am not just saying this, but he gave me the best blood draw I have ever had.

Then he loaded up my blood and pee, got back on his motorcycle and drove off.
