ph34r my l33t getting-things-done sk1llz
Today my alarm went off at 7am and I only hit snooze twice- win!
I got on my bike and took it back to the bike shop on Brunswick st for it's first service. They asked for me to get it there between 8am-9am and I managed it by 8:40 so I was pretty pleased with myself.
I had a staff meeting at 9am- luckily if we aren't at work we can phone in to our meetings, so at 9am I was sitting at a cafe on Rathdowne st with some bircher musli, orange juice and pot of tea- surely the best way to attend a meeting (for which you must be sober.)
Once the meeting finished I still had some time to kill before my 11:30 doctor's appointment, so I wandered around Borders and Readings and somehow managed to spend $100. I have come to the conclusion I should not be allowed near a bookshop on payday.
My doctor's appointment was full of good news- I told Dr Lum where we were going on honeymoon and he talked me through the health risks. There is a typhoid/hep A vaccination we could get- but the chances of getting either are only very slightly higher than they are in Melbourne, so while Dr Lum said he'd be quite willing to give me the needle if I wished he was not at all concerned if I decided to save my $125- which I did. We then had a discussion about rabies and what to do if bitten by a dog or monkey (avoid this at all costs, if bit go to the hospital within 48 hours where your life will be saved, but say goodbye to the rest of your holiday) and dengue, for which the best prevention is tropical strength RID from your friendly local supermarket. He then refilled my scripts and gave me a new one for sleeping pills (only to be used in rare insomnia attacks and the night before the wedding when I know I won't sleep otherwise) which I filled at the chemist downstairs.

mc_shamo was on his way to Fitzroy and passing through Carlton, so he joined me at Cafe Notturnos where I had a quick lunch. I then decided since it was such a nice day I may as well walk home. All was well until I hit North Melbourne when I realised such a long walk after a bottle of water was not the best idea, and I had a very uncomfortable trek up Macaulay rd until I reached a cafe that allowed me to use their bathroom before ordering a muffin (the smallest item on the menu.) I finally made it home at 2:30pm and crashed on the couch for a half hour nap before getting ready and leaving for work. Where I've been ever since- and it's busy so it's going quick- yay!
Can't wait for tomorrow- massages and friends and food and Guild League- awesome!!
