Progress not Perfection

What a good job you asked about the running order of patients or they might not have discovered the error for hours.

Glad nothing sinister.

What a day to get through for the both of you! Glad to hear nothing dire going on. On this occasion I think Mr SA is allowed a beer when he wants one 😁

Yes indeed 🍻 Even though it said no alcohol for 24 hours 😬 To be honest when I got hit by a car and split my head open and broke my leg the leaflet said the same. The first thing I did when I got home was ask for a very large glass of wine - for the shock obviously 😉

A couple of strange coincidences in the past 24 hours - yesterday I bumped into an old work friend who moved away years ago. Then today an old school friend I haven’t heard from for a couple of years has contacted me.

I thought the eclipse was a bit of a let down although I wasn’t looking at it but thought it would go dark when it remained sunny. The moon was quite spectacular at 4.30am though just a tiny orange sliver.

It’s still 32 degrees here and set for hotter tomorrow. Shame I’ve got to work 😞

I’m glad things went okay with Mr SA’s procedure and he had a good dinner to console him (though will he remember it tomorrow?)

pleased everything went okay one less worry

If anybody is overlooked at an appointment it’s usually me or my OH, think we are jinxed. I take my book now, snacks and a drink, after a couple of hours of peace and quiet whilst waiting I’ll approach the reception to be told “sorry don’t know how that happened”. Hope all goes well with the results.

Agree about the eclipse, even made a viewer with empty box of Frosties.

Morning all, happy Friday eve.

WFH today. It was lovely not to have to get up at 4.30. I was up at 5.30 so had a nice relaxing start to the day.

I need to nip to a local builders merchants this morning. They are a very small family run business so you can't order online but they have a decent stock of reasonably priced gravel and they deliver free locally, sometimes the same or next day depending on how busy they are. Hopefully they can deliver before the weekend so I can crack on and get the garden back to how it was. There is no need for Mr SA to come with me but he seems to think because it's a builders merchants it's no place for a woman so is insisting on accompanying me 🙄This means I've got to wait until he gets up and has his breakfast.

As I still hadn't heard anything from the eBay seller yesterday and the delivery date for Mr SA's clogs has passed, I've got eBay themselves involved and they've contacted the seller.

Today's exercise plan is yoga, the walk to/from the builders merchants, a lunchtime strength training class and Zumba tonight.

Tonight's dinner is another new recipe from the G00d F00d app Miso Salmon with Jasmine Rice and Crispy Greens. The gochujang orzo I made last night was absolutely delicious so that recipe is a keeper although I think it would work better with tofu than veggie sausages. Unfortunately I can't share the recipes as they're app only.

Glad the procedure went well..

The skipping of people happens a lot. In our department it’s often:

1) the receptionist doesn’t check you in properly or 2) if they’re running behind, they’ll do a couple of ‘quick patients’ to catch up before taking someone in that looks like they’ll take longer than their appointment slot 🥴

Also patient lateness is a big problem. Our lists are packed solid, all you need is a couple of people to turn up late and it throws everything off. Some departments have a 15 min cut off, but many (including mine) don’t. I must admit, if patients are more than 15 mins late, I tell them I’m happy to scan them but they’ll have to wait until my 15 minute break or the end of the list as it’s not fair on those who arrived on time otherwise 😏.

I cant remember the last time I got a 15 minute break or my full lunch break 🤔😂. We get 15 minutes morning and afternoon, supposedly to rest our eyes and limbs. Management call them ‘catch up breaks’ 🫠
