Heads down, thumbs up...

worked today - again, but now it's only 3 days left!! It was alright, had some nasty students (y8) and I really can't see them survive in the "real" world - someone's going to get fed up with them and simply make sure they'll never bother them again. If you know what I mean. It will, however, not be me as I can't be bothered sorting them out in 3 days. I am "right" perky tonight...


Am home alone - again. Boyfriend is working night and have a full ward to look after. I have an empty bed to look after so I think I'm better of than he is tonight. He had his GP interview today and he says he feels ok about it. I hope we get to stay in Sheffield but if we don't: well, we'll just have to move somewhere else. It'll be fine.

Spoke to mom and dad earlier. Dad was at home resting his hand (finger), he had some surgery a couple of weeks ago sorting out scar tissue on his pinkie and it is apparently "bloody painful" and since my dad never, ever says that anything hurts (unloaded tractor wagon and drove home from the forest when a log fell and broke his wrist years ago) I assume it must be absolute agony. Probably enough to make me stab myself to death with a plunger. And when I say "resting" and "dad" in the same sentence, I obviously mean that he hasn't planted a garden/built a house on that particular day.

I also spoke to mom, she's at the hospital waiting for her hip-replacement surgery that is scheduled for tomorrow. She is a bit worried and in severe pain but at the same time "eager" to get it over with and hopefully get better use of her "new" hip than what she gets from the original one. She's got her own room and that's nice and relaxing for her. It's not often you get the chance to get painkillers by the press of a button - and it's not as if it's the sort of painkillers you have at home (normally). My dad promised to phone/txt as soon as he knows how it went.

I'll be going home next week for Easter and to help out with whatever the "oldies" need help with. I now it's not needed, my dad and brother can sort it all out by themselves but a little help goes a long way. + I really long for some "dog-company"!

Daylight savings is a good thing, I know. But until you've gotten into the whole "get up an hour early" thing, it's a pain and I don't like it at the moment but it'll get better. I do prefer the bright, early summer mornings to late, dark winternights.

Anyway, I'm off to bed - alone!
