easter weekend

grilled fish lightly toasted with shredded coconut on a bed of bok choy, drizzled with a spicy sauce accompanied with jasmine rice on the side. a very dacadent lunch on saturday at the wheelers hill pub with a friend. drinks included strawberry and melon dacqari's.(oops cant spell that word, what a dummy! LOL)
we chatted about work and having to do the completion of the medication course. AAAHHHH...i was telling her about how ive just recently been nursing a patient with shingles of the foot! yeah very unusual...ive seen shingles heaps of times running along the nerve pathway of the back, lower torso, groin, genitals and buttocks. so this is a weird one! also a fellow nurse who was employed on my ward has been struck down with multiple sclerosis. at age 25 she had one attack and then another a month later. usually people have a second attack years after the first one. therefore she has now had to give up her nursing career due to being diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease. its so sad. shes so young. she had just finished her graduate year to begin her life working as nurse. flyers have been sent around the hospital to donate money for her for treatment....
we also dicussed the cruelty to animals that has been on the news. she then told me she used to have a cat that lived with her and other house mates.it used to be loving and couldnt give a care in the world. now she said its a bit of a scardy cat. she believes its due to the guys she was living with tormented the animal. i asked her what did they do? so she started to tell me that they used to put "foil booties" on it...even though i LOVE cats, i laughed at this one. apparently if you get foil and put it on the cats front paws, they cant stand it and flick there legs while they walk. i painted a picture in my head. i lost the plot and couldnt stop laughing!! god i had a good day, good company along with alot of humor....
when she left i went to the shop to get some dvd's as my parents were coming over after my sisters wedding.i got out of time with denzel washington, and one with robin williams named final cut. anyway she called me and left a message on the answering machine saying how she had an enjoyable day, and that her and i should go out more often. i found that to be quite special. i think ive made a good true friend. we only met through the med course in november last year. its hard to find these people. the ones that stick by you 100%. i consider my self lucky.
mum and dad arrived later in the evening and we discussed the wedding. nothing was said about me( i thought something may have been said about my absence)thank goodness. dad was cheesed as andrews dad made a speech when its usually the brides father that makes an announcement.someone must of picked up on it, so about 1/2 an hr later my sis must have said something so dad said," i hope your life with andrew is as good as mine with your mothers". well im only repeating what they told me.......as for nan, plans are definate for her to go into a home. she is being assessed next week to decide if shes high level or low level care. it will be interesting to see what the outcome is.
the movies i hired were ok. final cut had a poor ending. other than that it wasnt bad for a sci-fi pic. out of time was quite good. id recommend that one. it had a bit of a twist. denzel washington is such a good actor. i enjoy the majority of his movies.
as for today easter sunday, dad mowed my lawns and then i test drove a mazda3!!! very impressed. i think its got my name on it. dad and i are going back to the dealer on wednesday. i just may be driving away with a brand new car! hallelughya to getting rid of my hyundai....YAY...YAY...YAY...YAY...
