My brother took me out all day yesterday.
He helped me through my blood test (faint veins, I get dizzy spells / panics due to a bad Dr playing find the vein when I was 15).
We then had breakfast. Strolled up Newtown, looking at the Art store, Cheeky Monkey's new shop (choice!), the yarn store (lovely Italian cottons, too pricey for my skill).
Then we reconvened in the city.
We went to Lincraft and I bought wool for simple scarf projects during my recovery.
We went to the 1940s style suit store, and I bought two nice shirts, each $50, down from $200 (Australian made, designed, nicely styled).
We then watched Talladega Nights, which wasn't as good as Anchorman or 40 Year Old Virgin, but was just what I needed.
I went and visited the Kiwis (hi guys!) who were great as always and a good end to a great day.
I sat around at home, sorted stuff out, called people I needed to talk to, and went to bed early.
Today I'm a bit exhausted, and a bit emotional, but I'm at work right now getting the casual pays done and the urgent stuff. I'm a bit emotional about my appointment this afternoon. I've told my coworker what's going on, and when my boss gets in I'll tell her too.
Wish me luck for the appointment this afternoon (I'll update in the evening).
