Hey guys!
Still going, just about. Although me and my work friend did hit the "stupid f*cker" stage of tiredness in work today. Which was pretty damn funny! To us anyway.
We had a hilarious David Attenborough moment releasing a pigeon back to "the wild"
Last night was so weird! I had those long, busy dreams again that fels like they went on for days. But at about 4am I woke up in a panic and literally soaking in sweat. I did get back to sleep, but more weird dreams and alarm was set for 6:50 *lame*
Getting up was haaaaard!
When I got to work the night aca I was taking over made me sit down and eat my nana and drink my coffee. I must have looked pretty shocking lol! She didn't give me the emergency phone till then
Today went a bit t*ts up as well. I did not leave that place in a clean, sparkly way. Not at all! We had a rather heavy op day, and I was in the back so theatre and kennel "nurse". We realised our weekend theme, there's always one, was genealogical LOL! We had a little dog in with eclampsia, a post-whelp womb infection, a regular womb infection "pyo", a dog we did a caesarian on, a dog struggling to whelp, and then a bloody cat we had to ceasar as well! Among the usual wounds, broken bones, vomiting, diarrhoea, blocked male cats, eye trauma, etc etc...
I assisted with the dog caesarian, but that was quite sad so I won't go in to detail. I also assisted on the cat and got to hold/stimulate a kitten literally straight from the womb for the first few minutes of its life! I've been in on caesar's before, but it's been a long while. Newborns are disgusting, there is no denying that, but there really is just *something* about holding a creature within a few seconds of it entering the world, there really is
The whelping dog ended up with 5 live puppies too and much fun was had when one escaped and tried to leg it. I got it back to the Mum and was like "Here's your baby. You let it escape! Please don't bite me" Lol
Also had a funny moment with another work friend. I knew we needed some big clamps for the afternoon's ops and wanted to double check what needed cleaning and sterilising before I went on lunch - we have limited amounts of certain instruments. So I asked was it just the clamps, rather than full kits that needed rushing. She got her words jumbled and shouted across the room, in front of a God fearing male vet "No it's ok, I have all the clits" :8855:
We couldn't breathe and she was crying and everything. Lol-arious.
Alright, enough work stuff. Although I did get on the floor hugging a wire-haired Pointer whilst saying "I love you, I really do"
Just a normal day....

Louby - I'd keep your hat on for now. Be prepared for 6 months of me b*tching and moaning about studying
And the Pop Tart burn I think goes without saying lol. You have to eat them doing chimp impressions
Patty: Hello
Did you have a nice holiday?
I will have a look at that syndrome, when I've had less wine. But I do have on the low side of normal blood pressure and I'm also a heart patient. Also it really doesn't matter what I'm doing. If I'm lightheaded or dizzy I just am, doesn't seem to matter if I'm standing, exercising, lying down, or anything. I'm either light headed or I'm not. I was very lightheaded and started to go "sparkly" in theatre today, but I was leaning against the wall doing nothing other than watching the op, so I leaned some more and concentrated on my breathing and it went away. It's really bizarre! But seems to fit with ME/CFS anyway. It was much, mush worse last summer, which would have been the months my thyroid was infected - you know, if they'd have caught it while it was bloody happening....
I do, however, have every single symptom of POTS! But they're all known symptoms of ME too. I do also have Raynauds Syndrome - which is just an absolute joy! But maybe POTS is another something to mention and add to the list of potentials.
I've been doing Slimming World for over 4 years now, so apart from the odd bad day/week I eat exceptionally healthily, esp as a veggie. My GP always comments on my diet and lifestyle when we talk about stuff
Systema: I think with fast days being thrown in and the insane amount of super free and speed foods I eat already I'll end up trying to do too much. I have considered speed days/weeks, but for now I at least know that fast days plus SW work for me. I'm not a fast loser and, as this week proves, a very fast gainer. I can gain 2-4lbs in a week being 100% on SW *shrug* Maybe I'll look in to it again in the future, but think I have enough challenges on the go at the moment. Thank you for the link tho
Tetris: Hey dude! It is hard work being nice and "on" all the time isn't it? And obv with Mum's stuff going on I'm more observant and watchful than I would normally be. In a non-horrible way, it feels like I'm always working. So I'm either actually working, being a carer, looking after my animals, or studying. I'm so God damn tired
Glad you know what I mean though and I wasn't being horrible!!
Hahahaha! I can more than take off the "stupidly easy" hat for fast days now
Just hope I haven't ruined them for myself and that Tuesday will indeed be relatively easy. We shall see! I just think this week was completely lost. I could have saved it, but I didn't. But it was also all my own decision, so I can't really moan about it.
I hate my dreams! They're always like Oscar winning performances, or scary, or sad, or just generally horrible. I never ever get restful sleep. You'd think I'd be used to that by now!
Well I got on the scales a couple of times in work and it's not good. To anyone else I'd be saying "That's not a real gain, it'll be gone next week, blah, blah, blah" But I know how horrible my body is with weight gain and it probably is mostly or all true gain. I was up to 79kgs by this morning :sigh: So just over 3kgs/7lbs in a week?! F*cking brilliant.
Ah well, start again and will try harder to control things when I have these lots of off plan meals weeks.
Will just see what happens
