Ok, Thursday I stuck to the plan and went and had my Glucose Tolerance Test done. Yep, was a good girl on that score! I took my book with me, and prepared for the 2+ hours it was going to take (they take a base line reading sample and then one every hour for 2 hours after you drink a special glucose drink).
Here the craziness begins! lol. They took the base reading, ran it, and then shoved the drink at me. Oh it was heaven! So cold, sweet and full of flavour and fizzy!!!!!! Yum! After not having had anything but water from 10pm the night before, it was pure heaven, and I drank it all within the 5 mins they allowed, actually, it took me about 30 seconds! lol.
My first hour, I sat in the waiting room reading my book. Oh peace and quiet! Wow! I read like 6 chapters in 1 hour!!!!!!! Yippeee!!!!! Then I had the next lot of blood taken, all the while the collection nurse was fussing over how I was feeling. I was fine, a little 'low', but fine. Ok, I was starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My next hour I spent outside in the smoking area (hey, I'd already gone 1+ hours without!), reading my book and then talking with the pathology nurses. They were really nice people and were very concerned I was there alone! lol.
My last lot of blood was taken and they made me a cuppa and gave me some biscuits, which they snuck out the back door for me! Ssshhh! They were naughty! lol.
Off home we went, after Les called me to say he was done at the docs (got his own tests to do! Suffer!!!!! lol) and relaxed until the afternoon.
Ok, I enjoyed being away from the girls at the hospital!!!! Trust me! lol. Yet, I can't stand being an in-patient! Go figure!
We went to pick up Ayla from school, checking the mail box on the way. No bills! Yay!! But a very surprising letter from Cooloola Community Housing, who are our property managers (CCH is a midway point to Public Housing, only the properties are privately owned, but we pay the Public Housing Rent) thanking us for the wonderful experience of them inspecting our property. They love us! lol. We don't have the neatest house, but they don't care and are really doing everything to look after us!!!! A big change to how we have been treated in the private rental market!!!!!!
Got Ayla, and went to get a new bed, as Laurel is big enough now for a single bed. Well, after some debate, we decided to get Ayla a new bed, and Laurel would have her old one, so we can put the rails back up (convertible bunks) It arrived today and Les is currently doing a furniture shuffle. I'm keeping out of that one! Going to be much excitement tonight! lol.
Finished there, went to get some shopping done, and pick up my layby. All cool until I needed to use the toilet. Les took the girls down to the car to load up (takes awhile as you can imagine! lol) and i headed to the toilet.
Here the day fell apart, and so did I! I carefully opened the door, as it is a small room to say the least, and the cleaner was behind it, though I didn't hit her, only her bucket. I said sorry and she said: 'Oh, I bet you are! You might as well use the toilet as no one listens to the signs any way.' Well, I told her that I hadn't seen the cleaning sign, and she said it was up. I did my business, and when I came out of the cubicle, she practically 'mopped' me out of the way, and then left! I was so upset at being treated so rudely, especially seeing as the sign saying the toilets were closed for cleaning wasn't up at all! I checked on the way out, and I'm pretty sure it was the same sign as when I went in.
Outcome, a formal complaint is going to be made to centre management over the incident, something which Les and I are going to do together as he doesn't like when I get upset like that. Ok, so I burst into tears when I made it back to the car! And yeah, could have been I was tired, but it also wasn't the first time I've been treated rudely by this cleaner!!!!!!!
Well, then I spent the day yesterday in 'nesting' mode. Wow! Washing is almost all caught up, but I think I need a few more days break before going nuts again! lol. At least I was in bed before midnight!!!!!!
Hope every one else is having a good weekend. And Dannii, I'm having sympathy pains for you! Not kidding either! lol. Hope it won't be too long for you now sweetie! |
