thereyougothenwhew. much better today.
The boys were once again completely uninterested.
the nurse arrived when she said she would, didn't piss about, looked at my veins, decided to use a butterfly in my right hand, and just got it sorted. it did mean that i had to sit with my hand still for two hours, but that was ok, becasue we had a really rather interesting conversation. She had spent 5 months in South America. Been to Santiago, and lots of other places. So I got to pick her brains.
We're going to move my treatment by a couple of days so that I can have the last one here as close to our leaving date as possible, so my next one will be on the Thursday, the one after that on the Monday and the final one on the Wednesday before we go, which is a full week later than it would have been on the original schedule. that gives me more time in santiago to meet the doctors and get a bit settled. hah, a bit settled. in 2 weeks? aye right! but still. better than having to have the treatment n
the first week there.
This morning I took both my dead desktop computers to the PC repair man. (that *is* what the shop is called!) Two guys, really nice, not at all condescending, unlike the local shop I phoned up the other day "I take it you don't know anything about computers then"...
It should be £80 to get the pair of them fixed - to wipe and restore the old one, and the newer one will get wiped, but they will try and recover the data. Hopefully they will be ready in a couple of days. I need at kleast one of them back to programme an embroidery for a staory sack i;m supposed to be finishing ove rthe summer holiday!
We're off to London on Thursday. It was supposed to be a campsite near Castle Douglas, but well, it's pissing down still, isn't it? So we're getting the train (hurrah!) to London. Back on Saturday night. Yay! A holiday.
