Not a bitch

I’m sick but I can still bitch. I love my sister – if there is anyone in the world who would listen to my bitching, laugh at me, make me laugh and totally understand my sentiments, it has to be my baby sister.

I started to get graphic and compared people with wooden sticks and potato chips. I was very bitchy. And she laughed.

“you know you’re incredibly amusing when you’re trying to be mean coz you ARE SO NOT MEAN”

I try.

Anyway, second day spent home cuz I’m not fit for hospital. (haha – fit for hospital??) But I still have to arrange meetings because people need me to help make decisions. Bah.

The lack of activity of my blog reflects how busy I have been. Also, my health has been rubbish. Last night I was kept awake by my cough for nearly 2 hours. I woke up this morning and was startled at the time it was – 1130am! Odd for me because I don’t usually wake up that late. But it was nice to have a lie in, especially since my body needs rest. I hate being sick, this disease I has been loitering around for nearly weeks now :(

Badminton has been stressing me out because people haven’t been behaving like a team and it’s been really hard to get a good team out to go for competition – sometimes I feel as tough I am wasting my effort. I am trying to take it easy now especially since my exams are coming in a month and a bit and I need to focus on my work. It’ll be really nice to see Jan jie this Friday though :) I’ll be skipping a local league match to hang out with her but I’m not bothered – I need some time to spend with a good friend! And next week Yongsheng’s visiting for the day – oh i feel loved :)

It’s funny sometimes you feel lonely when you know you’re not quite alone. Maybe it’s when you’re sick that you feel the extra need for some more loving. Anyhoos! Can’t believe the weekend is nearly over – I should really get started on cooking dinner, Laura is coming over for dinner :) I’m going to try a new recipe,hope that turns out nice!!

They say that

Dreams tells you something.

So the dream I had last night must be a sign?

Take it easy!

Big sorry to all the people I promised emails and calls! I’ve been buried in work and commitment I even find it hard to find time to sit down, spend time with myself and relax! Just because I don’t contact you doesn’t mean I don’t miss or think about you! It’s just hard with the whole time difference and all to call or sms and emails are just.. impossible seeing how little time I have to spend online.

Not long after handing in my 2000word essay, I have another to write up on – which means more research and more papers to critic, which means less time to revise, which means.. more stress! In addition we’re just about to start badminton season so.. more stress! And first badminton social this Wednesday.. that’d be fun but that also means.. stress cuz I have less time for work! Ahhh weekend! Come quickly!!

Perhaps this weekend I will actually make it to Bath!

On a very exciting note, today was a very productive day. I did many many ECGs, lots and lots of bloods, did histories and examinations and I did my first two cannulas today and the last patient told me I did it brilliantly and it didn’t hurt as bad as she thought it would! (It’s always nice when patients complement you, that means you really have done a good job) On a less exciting note, I was with the crash team today and I had to run across the hospital when Rick’s bleep went off only to see a patient die. It was very upsetting but the poor lady was so old, she wouldn’t have had a great prognosis even if they revived her. And I went to the mortuary for the first time and watch Rick palpate another body to make sure he had no pacemakers. It’s weird, doctors here get paid an extra 70 pounds for filling in cremation forms. Anyway, i need some sleep now.. soo goodnight!

Well deserved rest

Chrysanthemum tea with ginseng for me because I am tired and falling ill.

My week zooms by and I always never seem to have enough time to do all the things that I want to do. Things like.. revision and sleep! Friday was spent at the Octagon giving out a 1000 flyers to promote our badminton club at the sports fair.

Drove 2 hours after we were done at 4pm to go see my baby sister at Warwick Uni.

Passed her a box & luggage full of her things. And also to collect my red shoes and perfume which I got her to bring over for me. She’s got an amazing room with a lovely view - I was pretty impressed! We went shopping the next day at Ikea and the city centre, and my car came in very very hand seeing how much stuff we bought for baby’s room that day!

I would have loved to stay another night and spend more time with baby but I was pretty knackered and seeing that I was probably coming down with something I knew I needed to get home and get proper sleep in my big comfy double bed with 6 pillows (+ two new cushions) :) (you can see I am a pillow-person)

So today I will take it easy and hopefully feel much better by tomorrow!
