My latest news
Well the birthday night out turned out to be rubbish until Dead of Night as no one turned up even though Dave and I posted about it well in advance but at least we had fun at Dead of Night and it was good to see everyone.
My incredibly painful eye was no better by Monday so I ended up making an emergency appointment at my GPs out of hours surgery and was diagnosed as having conjunctivitus - lovely! I was given drops to put in it and told not to wear eyeliner until it cleared up which was more scary than the infection as I've been wearing black eyeliner since I was 16 and I turned 32 this month!!! It also scuppered any plans I had for the weekend as I couldn't see to drive so I was housebound which was very frustrating. Luckily it had eased by the following weekend so I could see even though no one turned up!
I've decided to go on maternity leave on the 9th June as I'll be 34 weeks pregnant by then and am reaching the point where even my short shifts are getting exhausting. If I go full term it will mean I get 6 weeks to get organised and relax before the big event. I hasten to add it is also a complete co-incidence that it also happens to be Johnny Depp's birthday that day!
I know for a fact tomorrow's shift will seem to go backwards as I have my ticket booked for the 4pm showing of Pirates of the Carribean At World's End. I made sure I got an end of aisle seat too as I'm bound to need to rush to the loo at least once as the film is 2 hours and 40 minutes long which will mean missing a bit of the film but there's not much I can do in my present condition!!!
I'm worried sick about my best mate Jeni back in Borehamwood too as last Saturday her Dad collapsed at a works do after having a stroke and is currently stable but has a chest infection and is completely paralised down his left side and the diagnosis is not good :( I want to go down to see her at the weekend but Mum is worried about me driving such a long way as I'll be 32 weeks on Saturday. I just feel completely helpless being so far away and know there's nothing I can do even if I do go but I'd like to be there anyway. Dad is worried too as he's been friends with her Dad for over 20 years so feels equally helpless. Life sucks at times.
