I was nervous about today for many reasons, one of which was that our visiting hematology consultant was visiting and I was to be in charge of the clinic. Our hematologist who also happens to be my landlady's sister?? life is complicated
Clinic went okay (not too bad, actually) but shit went downhill just when I was just about to head home. Took a peek into the wards to make sure everything was okay and of course that was the time a patient decided to collapse leading to CPR leading to a buzz of activity and me staying overtime. Well, at least I didn't have to deal with the aftermath.
I'm oncall tomorrow though sooo might still get some spillover trouble. Sigh..
On a positive note, I'm flying home for a bit next week!!! 4 more days to go! I haven't been home since more than a month ago so this is quite long overdue. Here's a to-do list!
• rip open all my mail order parcels, may make a picspam post because gosh I bought so many pretty clothes and cool things. goodbye savings
• VISIT A CINEMA. i can't properly go for a movie here because i'm mostly stuck at work or self-isolating in my room. and also our only cinema is located in the most dodgy part of town and i don't trust it. Kingsman and Thor:Ragnarok are on my watch list!
• PROPER INTERNET CONNECTION. the wifi here drives me nuts and my landlady's erratic internet curfew isn't fucking helping. i've got videogames to download and i also wanna start updating the radio show blog with new stuff
• sort out my bookcase! i've been meaning to rearrange it in ages. it's such a pleasurable activity and i wish I had more time in my life for this
• proper food lol. i have Nando's vouchers to use up and I've promised friends a night-out at some fancy japanese buffet place
• gonna pay a visit to my old workplace out of sheer nostalgia. I want to say hello to the orthopaedics department even though I know it's staffed with entirely new faces and that is only going to break my heart. still, I miss my papa mentor and I've got a gift for him lol (it's his birthday this month!)
• MAY or may not go on a date with some stranger guy I met on craiglist a couple of months ago (please don't ask...) I'm thinking dinner and a movie and also he wants me to go back to his so he can forcefeed me a Scrubs TV marathon. I've told him I'll consider it.
• just stupid little tasks like backing up some files into the blank DVD stack that I've left at home. I've filled up my 1TB harddrive and the cup has runneth over
• i miss my bed and i miss my family, not necessarily in that order
That's way too many things to do in the 5 days I'll be home for. Fuck it.
