Oh, she may be weary...
Today's been kind of bizarre. I've been flat and tired the last couple of days - unsurprising given the time of year, but I also have a nasty cold I've had for about a week that comes with one of those coughs where your chest just starts to ache from all the shaking. This morning I had an endocrinology appointment at half eight, so it was an early start after a shitty night.
The endocrinologist remembered me from when I was in hospital. Neither Karl nor I remembered her, which made me feel a bit shit. Y'know, given how many doctors I had vs how many patients she's seen. It's kind of disconcerting that she remembered me, and supplied enough detail that I knew she wasn't faking.
Anyway, I'd been feeling fine in the brain-hormone department since the surgery, so I expected this to be fairly routine. After a bunch of incredibly personal questions, she announced that she was pretty sure I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. But seeing as I wasn't planning any more kids and I wasn't overweight, we wouldn't bother about it. (I don't think I do, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have a higher testosterone level than most women.)
Then I went off and did what I thought at the time was the last of the Christmas shopping, except that it turns out the great present I found was so great that Susan had already bought it for us. So that'll take some juggling. But I did manage to finish off Matt and Susan's so I can post that. Tomorrow, which is the day my Mum tells me my brother is turning up and expecting to stay with us, only we won't be here most of the afternoon because it's Rhiana's final assembly tomorrow. Given they don't give out a 'Best Bollocking Handed to a Teacher' award, I think she'll be going without.
But that's okay, because her school librarian is awesome. Rhiana's been head librarian this year, which I'm sure Chris did more for Rhiana than for the school. I really wanted to say thank you for her patience and support with Rhiana, because she's not the easiest kid to deal with. So she and I put our heads together and got Chris
this. Rhiana gave it to her yesterday and she loved it, which I thought she would. Well, today Rhiana came home with
this, from Chris. It's beautiful: to look at, to hold, to use. And it does appear that Rhiana actually appreciates it - or at least that it was expensive. Chris is the only staff member we will miss. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to say thank you to her tomorrow.
I'm actually looking forward to school being finished for the year. I would also like to be done with the hospital, but that doesn't happen until the end of January. I just kind of need to get to stop for a while.
But! Megan is coming next week! And lots of lovely people in January. Good things.
