Morning, and it's not looking good...

...Had blood taken this morning. Not that the actually taking of the blood bothers me, it's all the faffing around that's involved. I can't eat or drink anything after 22:00 the night before. Under normal circumstances, that's an inconvenience, but no real problem. Being a diabetic, this becomes a problem. I have to ensure my blood/sugar levels are at a safe level to drive to the hospital. If they're not, I have to get my son-in-law to drive me there (as was the case this morning). I then have to wait around with all the sick people to see the nurse (who, TBH wasn't pic worthy), have blood taken, then eat stuffs. Which means I haven't been able to ride to work today, mainly because I feel pretty crap, and will probably feel like this for the next couple of days. :cry:

How's the rest of the internet coping with Tuesday?

    I have to go for my annual diabetic eye checkup tommorow.

    Whooppee a day off work.

    Balls a trip to the hospital and a day with blurred vision and a headache from the eye drops.

    Ditto here but only half a day off work, the other half taken today with a dental visit. no headache though only blurred vision and sunglasses in winter.

    Payday here, so tempting to pay the rent into the wiggle/crc/evans bank account instead of the landlady's :cry:

    Does that mean the rest of you isn't diabetic? ;)

    Payday for me too, however, our 'payrise' that's backdated 6 months is laughable (we got 0.5% woo-fookin-hoo) as I have bills to pay and other stuff :(
    I think I'll cash in on the CRC sale before it's too late though :lol:

    Well, today has been *touches wood* going a site better than yesterday!

    Yesterday, (remembering that my boss expected me to WORK, and be REALLY productive - I've just had 8 weeks off skiing...) I managed to break a windscreen on a truck, from a completely different regiment... Fail... But the worst thing is, I was no-where near, and my task on the truck I was working on was to just get it to pass a brake test.... :oops:

    Yeah, that was a good day... :lol:

    Today is alrite. Got my new driving licence through today!!! With my D1, D1+E and A catagories on!!! :D Good times!

    well I've got cold/flu/man flu, and feel like crap, have done for the last 4 days and I'm getting a little tired of it now :(

    Crc, have just credited my card for a saddle that I sent back, which would normally be a good thing but I'd asked for an exchange, so now I don't know if they will send out the exchange saddle when it comes into stock, or if I'll have to make a fresh order :?

    Sheeps - you have to realize, that as I'm a REME soldier, I move around every 2-3 years, and currently I'm hardly in work anyway (out doing phys / racing), I don't drink anyway, and our regiment pays about £40 a night of driving anyway, so it's not all bad.

    Besides, I'm just not around to be spammed for driving duties. And in a year and half, hopefully a year, I'm posted out anyway....

    The good life :)
