friday post 3

argh ... fingers crossed, take 2.
hey! i gotta say, i'm very happy to be home after only three nights at hospital!i wasn't very pleased to be back after a beautiful 6 nights off, but oh well. and scoldings to bob the naughty physio bob, who, when he saw me on tues morning:"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!em, your hair is all white!!!!!!!!!! to which i replied "shut up, bob." i then had much fun telling them all the insults i had learnt from b1 and b2's book. i had fun, even if they didn't. :P
highlight of the week: icecream and house on wednesdays. i sure don't complain when they place it in front of me for both dinner and lunch! i admit though, with things like chicken salad, i sit as close to the salt i can so i can get lots on. same with mashed potatoes.
poop of the week: staff who keep giving me coloured water instead of tea with milk and TWO sugars. it's got to the stage where i usually nick a sugar at breakfast for morning tea, an extra two at lunch for lunch and arvo tea, and two at dinner for dinner and supper. i admit though, the dinner ladies are quite good, they usually gimme white and 2 when i ask for it. but cheers to the kitchen lady who just remembers it and just gives me white and 2 without needing me to ask for it at all.
other highlight of the week: on thursday we cooked quiche lauren! (ok, so i know it's really quiche lorraine, but my OT is called lauren and i think she deserves to have it named after her.) mum came along and we enjoyed it together - we even left at least a third of it for dad! i hope he enjoyed it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^ we were originally planning to make fried rice, and we cooked the rice beforehand, but laurn didn't know the rule concerning rice:"once it's cooked, store it in the freezer, not the fridge. silly us forgot, meaning when i went to OT on thursday all ready for fried rice, lauren admitted, "sorry, the rice wentoff. i threw it out."
i also had lotsa fun talking to win and buu this week. win quizzed me on my thai(i got it all right)^^ buu is a new patient. he's japanese, 25, and was a jockey but fell off a horse while training it and bonked his head, poor guy. he had lotsa good fun talking to kate (our japanese nurse) too. the cool thing about kate is that her last name is 'miyao', which really, when said fast, soundslike "meow" hehe, good kitty, good kitty.
so, i gave my standard japanese line to buu, and also said 'oyasumi nasai' (good nite) to him, and he said my pronounciation was good! yeah, go me. !^^
anyways, have a good weekend, peoples! remember to come visit me! remember, i'm at the pa (princess alexandra hospital, the prince alfred is the pah), biru unit. laters!
cheers,
em. !!!!!^^
