winds of change

a lot has changed.

things certainly will never be the same.

2009 is a new year.

new job, new location, new people.


****

lillian goes back to adelaide after work today.

:(

how fun to have someone who likes being around you with you.

she'll be back next tues :)

i'll look forward to that.

today's goal at work : less mistakes

****

couple of interesting things that happened yest:

1. a little girl came into the pharmacy.
she's taking part in the world's greatest shave for the leukemia foundation.
and she's shaving her head 0n the day her grandmother died of leukemia.
i happily contributed to her effort :)
i was so inspired :)

2. A mental health patient calls the pharmacy and requests to speak to me.
he asks me out for coffee on friday and to a birthday party on Saturday with him.
my colleagues were both horrified and amused.
i declined them both, politely.
my colleagues think i should tell him i have a 6 foot bf who's buff and who's a big jealous pot.
we'll see how that goes.
i'm quite scared to answer phone calls now.
not because he has a mental health condition,
but just because i don't want to lead him on to think that i'm interested to break certain boundaries.

3. i could not get a car loan.
i have to wait another 5 weeks before i can get it approved.

4. boss sends me to the newsagency to buy the local newspaper.
i stepped in, and i hear tom baxter's single "better" on the speakers.
how shocking!
not many australians know tom baxter since he's UK based.
and i felt.....
i dunno.
i could not describe how i felt.
but i felt.. better.
:)


5. dad asked me to come home when i can.
and that's exactly what i'm gonna do.

gotta ask for leave today.
boss isn't gonna be thrilled.
but i do have 30 days of annual leave anyway..

6. i'm pooing blood.
not the little bit you generally get when ur constipated to the max.
but like blood blood.
like significant red blood blood.
been 2 days.
its fresh red so i'm absolutely sure its not bleeding anywhere in the tummy.
probably somewhere lower down the intestine.
keeping an eye on the progress to see if it gets better or worse.
don't worry, i WILL get it checked out if it goes on for the next couple of days.

start at 9.30 today.
that extra half an hour to myself feels so good.
:)

love you all,
shaleen
