Marty's Sunday. I'm still attempting to overcome this disgusting mucouscold, so I enjoyed my little nap on the couch, in the sun (side note - HULLO SPRING HOW R U? ARRIVING A LITTLE EARLY, AREN'T WE? OH EL NINO AY, SURE OKAY). Then I continued the nap, upstairs, with Leiler. Oh how I love that baby.
Marty woke me up when it was time for me to leave for my doctor's appointment. I had a lovely drive down there, totally different from my commute last week to BC Women's Hospital! I still didn't see any Colbert posters ;\
I actually arrived nearly a half-hour early, so I spent some time with Sam Roberts in the car, drinking my coffee and texting =p Took a good look up & down Broadway before heading into the building. Read an issue of Canadian Geographic while I was waiting, and was introduced to the career of Fluvial Geomorphologist! Neat.
Dr. Chen is referring me to a Rheumatologist for my joint pain, and I had some x-rays done upstairs, of my lower back, and my left ankle. The x-ray Tech mentioned some Scoliosis in my lower spine, which I may or may not have been aware of.
Had a nice drive back home. When I arrived, however, I found out Dan was going to be coming over to our place for dinner, so we weren't going to drive out to Cloverdale. I was a bit disappointed; I had been looking forward to visiting out there. Would have been refreshing, kwim?
Ah well. Had a lovely pasta dinner (thanks for the cheese and bread, Dan!), and I cleaned up the kitchen and took out the garbage/recycling afterward. Now I'm enjoying my time on the couch here, with Dan messing with his iPhone, Marty guitaring, Drew eating cheese & watching cartoons, and Leila sleeping (hopefully for the night).
I allowed myself to explore the feelings I was having while driving, of missing my old job at the clinic and how it might feel to re-enter that whole job. Not that they even have anything available for me, but until now, I had knee-jerkedly refused to consider it without a bitter taste in my mouth. Perhaps it was that I was in the neighbourhood, but later, as I sat in the x-ray clinic waiting room, I felt a real longing for the day-to-day administrative (okay, secretarial) duties I had! Labels... Files... Printing... Hee. I will note: I never disliked any of that. So. I emailed Katie, just saying hi, as well as letting her know about the x-ray stuff above.
I've already announced on Facebook (may not have been a great idea, but at the time, I felt desperate (and hopeless)) that I'm looking for employment, so she (and others there, come to think of it) likely already knows. For me, the biggest downer is really finding (and paying for) daycare for the kids. The logistics... Guess this is what happens when you don't have an Oncoe Joe around to be the manny! ;|
Last thing - Marty is grumpy due to allergies, so I'm getting onto my high horse and stepping over the negativity and am going to help him in any way I can. Noble, yes, but also much better for both of us, in the long run!
