listening to Zero 7, chillin with the music and a glass of vino...niicceeee

Hello all,

well with the boss away last week and this, work has been somewhat less frenetic and more productive. I even had the amazing experience of leaving work at 6pm...it was even bright outside (this kind of behaviour can be seen listed in the Red Data Book!!)!! The reason for leaving work early (the earliest I have left since I started working here, nearly 4 months ago) was to try and see the physio at the gym (i joined a new gym called Tipness, it's pretty cool) as my back has finally caved in and hence I am walking like I have something stuck up my... and as a result I can not get any sleep and even sitting down is somewhat uncomfortable, as you can well imagine :) So, I walked in to the physios and thankfully one of the girls spoke English and she informed that there is no appointments system, it's just walk-in and be seen. So, I endured what was the most amazing painful, tortuous hour of pure heaven and my back feels somewhat relieved of the tension and tightness that I have had for the last while. What was even more beautiful was that it cost 1750Y (about 12eruo) and the everyother visit form now on will cost 750Y!!!! That is cheaper than buying 6 apples or half a water melon!!! Fantastic. Then to put the icing on the cake, I came home to (unfortunately not a naked woman) but a phone call from one of the girls saying her friend, who's a chiorpractor, will be able to see me on Friday evening and he's not going to charge me!!! Bonus or what!! I am psyched about that. My back was really getting to me and it was such that I couldn't lift my right leg due to the severe pain that ran down it if I tried.

Of course, it's part 2, and hopefully the concluding episode, of the dentist saga tomorrow (and no Mum, I was not in pain so you can cancel the flights). I had to get a filling done as one of my other fillings fell out, as they do. So, day one was getting the tooth drilled (why seeing as it was already done from the last filling that was in there), filled with a temporary cement after they took a mould of the tooth. Therefore, part 2, tomorrow, entails getting the cement taken out and the moulded filling put in in it's place. All a bit mad and I will probably have to go back a third time to get my teeth cleaned!! Nice premises though...one can watch a dvd of swimming dolphins in the nice blue sea to settle one's nerves should you be nervous, on a screen right in front of you.

One last thing, I would like to wish my cousin Peter a very happy 18th birthday tomorrow!!! It's hard to believe you can come home legally drunk now and be hungover safe in the knowledge that you didn't break the law!! Sweet as it may sound, my Mum used to give me hassle about coming home drunk until I was.....hell, she still does!!! So be wide!! Anyway, I can remember changing your nappies when I used to babysit for your folks many moons ago, but come to think of it, you used to show me what to do as I hadn't a clue...even then you were ahead of your peers!!! Well I hope you have a good one and we'll have to go for a pint when I come home. Good luck next week, I'll be on to see how you got on but I'm not too worried, you'll fly it.

So after coming home, I ironed my shirts (come back Debs, all is forgiven!!!!), made my lunch, turned on the music and I am now listening to Zero 7 which I downloaded yesterday, having a glass of vino to wash away the stresses of the day....

Ok peeps, sin e for the moment, here's to a full night's sleep......slainte
