Went to the doctor, the doctor said!

Okay, so I went and saw Dr Maguire today. We had a chat and we decided that the best thing for me to do right now is to try a birth control pill and see how that goes. After that, if that doesn't work, he said we might have to start inserting things, like IUDs and stuff like that.

I'm also being put on naprosyn. My neurologist doesn't want me on regular pain killers, but trust me. I NEED them. When I'm awake till four in the morning because of the pain and I can't get anything done during the day because of the tired AND the pain - it's time for some intervention.

I was also a super brave girl and had a blood test (to check my iron levels which I BET you will be low) and I didn't even freak out. I sang a little song and I was fine. The lovely lady that takes the tests at my clinic always loves it when I sing, she always says, "Oh, I want you to keep singing!" Isn't that sweet?

I kept myself busy this morning! I did the following:

- Went to the library and got out books on Australian ocean life, calligraphy and one about endometriosis. I need to top up my knowledge on this disease. Knowledge is power.

- Got my prescriptions filled.

- Went to coles to get a bag to carry my books in. The bag was no help, I kept nearly falling over anyway.

- Went to newsagent, promptly forgot to buy credit for my phone, bought paper and ink cartridges for calligraphy pen instead. Dork.

- Had a look at shoes. Oh, my GOD, shoes. I would have bought these gorgeous designer shoes that were on sale for 45 dollars, but I can't really justify buying myself yet ANOTHER pair of backless clogs. They are super swanky and gorgeous but seriously - I have more clogs than I could throw a stick at. If I buy shoes these days, it has to be a style I don't have. I seriously want the slight platform high heels, with the thicker heel than stilleto. In leopard print!! I loooove leopard print!

- Had a look at windows.

- Went into Toyworld to drool over Cluedo. I want to play it, I never have before. But I want Senet more.

- Got a bite to eat at the local bakery.

So it was a bit of a long haul home. I nearly broke my damn arms with these heavy books. Those suckers weighed a God-damned tonne! Now the muscles in my shoulders and back are all stretched out, you know, sore but that "I've been busy doing shit" sore. My guts aren't hurting yet, but they probably will.

Luck of luck, my CRS appointment was cancelled. Whee! I was going to ask for it to be postponed anyway cause I felt like shite this morning and I just *knew* that I'd need a nap after the big walk home. I was right - I'm exhausted, thoroughly exhausted.

So! I'm going to lie down, curl up around one of the books I borrowed from the library, and chill. Then probably nap cause I didn't get much sleep last night.

Ugh. I need a shipping favour again!

I want to buy the following product from Amazon:

A wooden Senet game set.

But they only ship to the States and Canada, it seems. If someone could be a stopping point for the order, and be kind enough to send it on to me, I'd be ever so grateful. This involves me using your address in the order and possibly your phone number too if they need to contact someone. I'll paypal you the cost in postage. I expect it to be a bit.

Cheers,
Nancy.
