Curiosities

My amazing year is over, but my amazing life is still full steam ahead.

I just finished two full weeks of work. It wasn't a smooth transition into it, either, we had a few hiccups, the early methylphenidate script with the detective, the crazy woman with really bad edema who waited until four days prior to flying to sort out flight socks (this sounds like nothing, but I promise you, she had a bad case, and if she knew this, why didn't she sort out the stockings weeks ago? She would have had time to order what she really wanted, instead of being unhappy with the options I gave her.) leaving me to help her (when she is my first customer measured by me personally, I was never trained to do it!!!) not to mention missing hardcopies of scripts that I need, a refund that I gave for no product with no receipt (which was the correct thing to do, but try telling yourself that at the time) AGH the insanity, I love it. Every situation is different. Every person is different. Not to mention the handful of acquaintances who were happy to see me. I got hugs from many nurses (given that pharmacies and nurses can either hate each other or be friends, I count myself lucky) and hugs and kisses from little old men. Along with the insane lady who was happy I was back, times three. It felt really, really good. When the Dr at the hospice said, "now there is a lovely vision of a lady whom I'd forgotten what she looked like", I probably tripped like a silly goose, because I admire her quite a lot. I can't wait to work with Helen on Tuesday. The past two weeks with Wen Xin have been great, she has really come into her own as a pharmacist, but we didn't gel like we do with Helen. There is just a natural order that happens when Helen is there. For more than just that reason I am well excited. I will need to make those savoury muffins for Tuesday!!

Spending Saturday night at home would have one day, years ago, seemed absurd. Now I find myself waking up with headaches after one glass of wine, (Although I've learned from Elaine, if you are planning a night out, have a few drinks for a few nights in a row beforehand to adjust, hahaha. She's my life coach.) and loving every free second I have at home. I contemplated being crafty today. Instead, I woke late, saw JB when he popped round, chatted with my besties about possible future holiday plans, watched a movie, did about four loads of laundry, and took a long trip for some delicious Burger Wis. We were seriously indulgent today. I also got Ryan to admit that he has an easy relationship. All in all, this has been an awesome day, in an awesome week, I couldn't be happier.
