mmmm doctors and shopping..
I have come down with a nasty headcold. It’s been going around at work, and trust me to catch it when I have 4 whole days off. I booked myself a doctor’s appointment at work yesterday, and was going to drive myself, however.. One of life’s coincidences.. work rang me looking for some paperwork I hadn’t seen, that JJ had said she’d given me.. and since I was still waking up, I sat on the floor in the loungeroom and said “just give me a moment I need to think” and thought for 30 seconds about the day before and couldn’t remember a thing. Damn I must have been pretty out of it. Called JJ, and long and the short of it, she picked me up in her brand new GETZ, and we went to the docs.
The doctor stuck a paddle in my throat and told me to say ahhh, which I did and then he stuck some light thing in my mouth to look at my throat, then stuck it up my right nostril and stared into my nasal canals… and then stuck it in my right ear.. and said.. “yes you have ear nose and throat infections.. here is a prescription for some antibiotics” I should think so.. if I didn’t have anything before.. I do now. He didn’t clean the instrument before moving from my nostril to my ears!! YAY me.
So we went out to lunch afterwards at Carousel, I took some of the pills the doctor prescribed me and we bumped into some girls from work and looked guilty.. like we were playing hookey from work.
JJ and I both decided that we needed a new bag *for me* and she was going to get a new pair of sunglasses, to match her car. Of course.
I ended up buying a bag and a choker. Both are pictured.. the round pink thing is part of the choker and the bag is made of canvass, hessian and wool, all stiched together like patchwork. Fanastic.
So here on the right are my pink Doc Martens that I purchased on sale the other week when JJ and I went out again. Ostensibly for coffee, but as it happens we ended up spending money we didn’t need to on shoes. She purchased some nice garden wedges for a garden wedding, which were bronze coloured, fantastic and I have these beauties.. made of suede. Some person has then smeared the suede with this rubbery substance across the shoes and the best thing? I got it on SALE, marked down to less than $100, discounted from $220!! Bargain!
One last comment.. a sneeze that doesn’t come, is like an orgasm that never eventuates.
