friday...

today it felt like my guts were going downhill again, after feeling almost completely better last night...

what a pain... and literally so...

it's interesting though, that visiting the doctor involved dealing with a student doctor first - haven't had that experience before.

she was a lovely girl originally from shepparton, studied in geelong and melbourne before being based in ballarat for work experiences... she's in ballan for 5 weeks...

poked and prodded in the gut again, quizzed about my likes/dislikes, whether walks along the beach with the wind in my hair was my sort of good time etc etc...

by the end of it and having the proper doctor come in to make his own assessment too, they said that they still weren't sure exactly what was causing my pain, but they felt it would still pass in 3-4 days...

it's really interesting that they can make an assessment of (in plain terms) "i don't know what you have, but you'll feel better in 4 days"

and the usual clause "if you're not better come back again"

but got given a referral instead to have my innards tested.... blood, piss and chair samples....

i just hope i can feel better by the end of the long weekend cause i really hate to be prodded with needles... more stress than i can usually handle, especially with 4-5 days notice that it's going to happen!

so spent most of the morning dagging around home in a bath robe... looking at jobbo things on the net but not finding anything to suit my capabilities... nor could i find a sugar daddy to chat up and give me some sustenance in the form of cash...

and now it's raining a little... a sound to soothe my body and mind, if not my gut...

and i mustn't forget to complete a task that was allocated to me this week... must sort that before i forget to do it!

posted off a copy of the age newspaper i bought in january during the heatwave... i sent it to mum cause the front page article was about a bit of history that was found that connects the portuguese to being one of the first (if not the first) mobs to land on australia - dodgy drawing of a kangaroo and a spiel about something that could have been related to australia in the 1600's - i know dad always claimed the portuguese and dutch were the first to land on australia...

so that's another thing i can cross off my mind's list of chores...

i've taken out a bread stick from the freezer... just trying to think of what i can do with it, apart from just toast it and eat it in one sitting... which is the most likely option at this stage.... as an entree to dinner....

working all long weekend which will help me out with some extra cash for the public holiday monday - a small gesture to try and assist the repayments on the credit card.....
