It's tuesday lunchtime and I'm sitting here enjoying my cottage cheese with pineapple sandwich and grapes and wincing over how many freaking calories are in a slice of bread.. god damnit, I see why people on crash diets stop eating carbs but eh no way I could do that. Same as I could never give up chocolate and/or pepsi, even though I know it would help me lose weight faster. But I guess I'm not interested in the speed, I'm looking at something I can stick to. And somehow I seem to be sticking to the walking. Go me! \o/
After yesterday's doctors visit, my boobie is rather sore. But it was good news all around - seems it wasn't a mole gone weird, but a skin tag that had got irritated and twisted. The doctor just numbed it (a needle! in my boob!) and popped it off, said to keep an eye on it and if it grew back/got weird again, I'd need to have it dug out. (dug out! of my boob!)
Doctor also commended me on the initiative to come and see her, that it was the right thing to do "especially considering how many moles you have"
So I feel a little daft from having got quite as worked up as I did but at least I know for next time that it is likely to be nothing
Thank you for you handholding and good wishes. It was appreciated ♥
In other awesome news, unless anything changes between now and 08:00 tomorrow morning, I has job! A four month maternity cover contract over in Stafford. Yes, I know, I keep saying I'm going to stop travelling so far but hey, if the works there, then the works there and I'd rather be toddling off 20 miles each way than being stuck at home.
This is through an agency I'd never heard of. They called me yesterday because they'd seen my CV on monster, wanted to discuss a role they had with me. I liked it - its the kind of role I can do in my sleep. I asked the hourly rate and it was £8.00. I said that I was definitely interested but because of travelling costs, to travel that far, I'd need a minimum of £8.50.
Didn't hear anything further, figured that was that.
Got a phone call at 10:00 this morning saying I start at 08:00 tomorrow morning, at £8.50 PLUS holiday \o/
work,
friends,
