Ouch...

Having raced around all morning getting things organised so we can go away for the weekend (yay!) I met some of my dear friends for lunch as two of them were birthday girls.

It reminded me as we were yakking 10 to the dozen, how much I enjoy and value the company of my girls- I feel so blessed to have some wonderful and amazing women who I count as my friends.

Anyhoo, after a very pleasant lunch with the gals it was a dash to uni for our very first forum. There was definitely an excited buzz going on as we were handed out our "equipment". A fununddascope (think that's spelt wrong), thermometer and blood pressure measuring equipment (long complex name that I can say but can't spell off hand). Very exciting, so my friends and family are on notice - no chatting to me until I have taken your blood pressure!

Then the ouch! We have to be tested for our immunity for a bunch of diseases like MRSA, measles, TB and so on. The TB test (mantoux) is done in a couple of weeks at school, but the other tests require a blood test! That's the ouch - I stopped by on the way home and had the blood taken, but it is quite sore now.

Never mind, nothing a glass of wine won't fix.

So I'm off for a shower, a glass of wine, to play with my "midwifery equipment" and then off to work.
