Hiya all.
I've had the week from hell. First, my stupid laptop died on me. I'm hoping and praying my pics etc can be saved but you know how these things are, more tempermental than a woman (I can say that coz I am one lol) Then, on Tuesday I thought I had flu coming on as I was aching and feeling rubbish. My kidneys started hurting so I called nhs direct (I'm away from home at the mo) and they advised me to go to a walk in clinic as it sounded like I have a kidney infection.
I thought I'd make use of the time I'm taking off by going for a smear, blood tests and Hep booster which wasn't such a good idea coz the poking and prodding made me feel sick. The stupid nurse put the needle in to take blood then dropped the thing they attach to it so had to start again, leaving a nasty bruise where that incident happened and another hole/bruise where she did get the blood from.
One good thing - the doc doing the smear was amazing. It was the most uneventful smear I've ever had (and I've had a fair few lol). The health advisor who you see afterwards was really cool too. An absolute Mine of information. Non Judgmental and gave me loads an loads of condoms. Woohoo. Not that I'm using then at the moment being laid up but they'll come in useful I'm sure lol So that's two good things really, well two good people anyway.
So, apart from looking like a regular needle user, not being able to walk without it hurting thus shuffling about like I've soiled my underwear and losing money coz I can't work, I'm fine!
Just thought of another good point. A darling client of mine who I've known for yrs brought me a laptop of his to use while I wait with bated breath to see whether mine will be ok.
After a really quiet Monday, I woke up on Tuesday feeling like death and wouldn't you just know it, my phone was ringing wildly all day. 27 missed calls in 3 hours. I've turned it off coz I don't want to piss myself off any further and it's still off now.
I'm trying to find a good point to end this on...............
It's been 10 minutes and I'm still thinking.
This is lame but it'll do. I found a local beauty college really close to where I work from (I'm also intending to move here to make things easier) who do Dermalogia facials for ?13.50 and wash an blows for ?5.50 or something silly like that. Normally the Dermalogica facials cost about ?40 so I think i'll become their best customer!
That's really helped, having a good old rant. Sorry to be all 'me, me me' but there aren't many people who I can vent all this to. I know you lovely ladies/gents will understand.
