Trying To Be Pro-Active

[debris4spike]

curiouswombat has suggested that maybe it would be nice to do the write up that we did last month on a monthly basis .... For those who don't know what I mean, clickety-click

So I decided I would try to give it a go, as I have been wanting to re-focus my life ... which means my LJ as well as eveything else. As I said I was doing more icons this month, I have also managed to get my decorating almost finished in my spare room - and will do the final bits when I have typed this. So, all in all, focus is happening ... well at the moment anyway LOL

So, as today is the 13th, that means the 12th was yesterday ... so what happened to fill my day?



I woke with a shock ... normally I wake before my alarm, but I was acyually mid dream ... in that my sis-in-law Claire had taken up bell ringing at her local Church ... Huh!

So, up and with my pint of water I turned on my pc to get my icons posted - Photobucket had been weird the previous night, so wanted to get them done. I was shocked to find it went through first time. So I gat up to date with my f-list from overnight ... and headed downstaires for my normal Quiet Time ... Ezekiel 35 - 37, and prayer .... then breakfast, and sarnie making. Before showering and heading up the road for work.

I had a 9 - 3.30 shift in "Preperation for Surgery", where I was seeing every patient on the list. Each patient had a similar set of tests done by me -
BP,
Pulse,
Respiration rate,
Weight,
Height,
BMI,
Blood Sugar check,
MRSA screen ... in our hospital we do 2 ... nose and throat, although one lady needed perineal as well!
Each patient also had a urine screen, but being colourblind I just had to label their bottle and get one of the sisters to do it later.

I was actually late finishing which is unusual, but the last lady was diagnosed diabetic, so I had to find someone to sort out further tests.

When I got in I through on my painting clothes and finished the last bits of my spare room.

While cooking dinner I did ironing - there always seem to be a pile of uniforms that need doing! After dinner I settled on the computer ... exciting stuff ... car insurance, and car breakdown cover. It's meant to be easy with the internet, but you seem to spend ages filling in things. Still, it's all done now.

Once sorted I unwound by doing some Blakes 7 icons. Not a show many ever knew ... but if you loved it, you still will! While I was doing that I had an episode of Pointless on the iPlayer ... one quiz sho I do quite like.

Then bed ... and some Spuffy fan-fic, of course! Lights out at about 11pm.

So nothing exciting - but a normal day ... that actually went quite well.

OK, lets get my furniture put back in place in the spare room ... and hopefully some time for a few icons before bed!

Happy Thursday everyone.

A busy day!

[debris4spike]

It didn't seem as if I did much when I was typing it out *g*

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

You still iron? You're a better person than I am.

[debris4spike]

I love ironing (and have to do my uniform ... in fact it is actually on our uniform policy!). Both my brothers are the ironers in their households as well ... yet dad never does it, and mum hates it!

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

sounds like a busy but good day!

PS: LOVE your icon! hilarious :)

[debris4spike]

I do love that icon!

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

My roommate is a huge Dr. Who fan so I thank her for my ability to appreciate the icon :)

[debris4spike]

*g* - I am ancient enough to remember all of the original Doctors back in the 60's!

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

hahaha oh wow!! Ive only seen the first few episodes of Eccleston's season. So far, I'm really enjoying it! I just need to find time to watch more.

PS: for the record, I think you're like a fine wine. You just get better with age :P

[debris4spike]

Wait till you get to David Tennant (in the icon) ... you will get why people "love" Dr Who ;)

Aw - Thank you

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

hahaha my roommate enjoyed Tennant greatly. She told me she cried when he regenerated. What are your thoughts on Matt Smith? How did you take to the news that he is regenerating at the Christmas special?

[debris4spike]

I hated when Matt Smith took over and even my nephew (who was 14 at the time) said that he tried too hard to be David Tennant, rather than his own Dr Who. I was just getting used to him ... I think he was beginning to get his own character going, so have mixed feelings about the regeneration.

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

You know, it seems like Matt Smith was an acquired taste for a lot of people. My roommate said she hated him at first but now she really likes him. I'll be curious to see what I think when I finally get that far and it'll be interesting to see what the next doctor is like

[debris4spike]

I wonder who the next Doctor will be ... hopefully will bring something new to the role ... but something we will love him for!

[bubblesandlace.livejournal.com]

It'll be interesting to see who they pick but hopefully they'll bring their own feel to the role :)

That sounds like a busy and successful day to me.

I don't think I ever knew you were colour blind - much rarer in females than males, isn't it. Someone I work with is colour blind and I was a bit worried about my habit of writing notes for him in red ink, but he says he can see it, just doesn't know that it's actually red in colour.

[debris4spike]

It didn't seem too busy while it was happening - but good to know I got a lot done.

*g* - I cant see yellow, green, brown range ... or purple/grey ... and get muddled with others! Funny thing is that most colourblind people have some colours that others don't like as favourites ... I love the colour Khaki ... very bright and pretty!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

oh! You know it had never occurred to me how impossible a dip-stick test would be to read if colour-blind!

[debris4spike]

I hadn't thought about it when I got the job ... and it was only in my training it came up, but most people are quite happy to read the urine-dip for me. A couple of the clinic units have electronic readers - so that makes my life easier.

[teragramm.livejournal.com]

I really liked hearing about your day, especially the work part. Your job seems so interesting.

Once sorted I unwound by doing some Blakes 7 icons. I use iicon making and fanfiction to unwind too! ~_^

I'm so enjoying reading everyone little slice of life, I just may have to do this too. (That's if I can remember what I did yesterday. ~_^)

[debris4spike]

Thanks very much - I learnt a few years ago that to friends around the world "normal" varies ... so this is good to learn what we all do in our normal life.

Really am glad I discovered LJ ... and icon making ... although can be both addictive and frustrating, can't it?

[hobbituk.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a busy day to me! Looking forward to reading your next posting...

[debris4spike]

It was an OK day .... yes, I have joined the group, so I get to scribble most months now. (Thanks for that!)
