Farewell, dear colleague
Feb. 23rd, 2024 10:30 pmThe PA/general admin person in our team has a new job and today we went out for drinks after work. I had a half-pint of beer that was 3.4% - and I couldn't string a coherent sentence together ROFL Yeah - I'm a lightweight. Anyway, it's a great opportunity for our colleague and we wish them all the best. I am also drawing very clear lines around my own role - at least in my head - just in case someone comments on the lack of coffee...
This morning, I went to the dentist surgery attached to our doctor's surgery and asked to sign on as a new patient. 'We're only taking on new private patients,' said the receptionist. Excuse me! When did I say I was an NHS patient?! I mean, I am - but I didn't say so. This resulted in a hike across the city centre so that I could call in on my current dentist on the way to the office. I've got an appointment for a check up (in FOUR weeks!) but if the grumbly tooth gets any worse I'll ask to be seen sooner. At the moment(!), it's MOSTLY OK, but now and again it starts really aching. A couple of paracetamol, and it goes away again. It decided to be achy when husband wanted to ask random questions, meaning I had to talk with a sore mouth, and son was singing the wrong lyrics to some song out of tune, which I found VERY frustrating. But that's them being them - normally it wouldn't be a problem.
After my 1 drink party, I did the bits of shopping that I'd wanted to do in the morning after signing up for the new dentist. I now have some meadow flower seeds, and even a Mother's Day card for my mother! And it's still two weeks away!!! Of course, I don't have a present yet...
Had a call from my daughter this afternoon - she's a bit further along than she thought (15 weeks rather than 12) but at least it isn't 8 weeks out like it was last time :D And we only have to wait 5 weeks to find out the sex.
And I played another 90 minutes or so of Fenyx. I'm on Story Mode but I'm finding some of the battles challenging - but not the boss battles <_<
Tomorrow we have daughter, sil, and grandson #2 coming for a visit. And on Sunday, grandson #1 is coming to watch the cup final with the boys.
And at some point over the weekend, I will plant my new primroses :)
