I promise that at some point over the coming weekend, I'll write and extensive review of the past week. I'm sitting here wanting to write loads and yet my eyes and body are screaming at me to finish. I was out last night and though I did sleep it was only about 2 hours as I was in an unfamiliar bed and got too hot. More on that over the weekend.
If I feel I'd get away with it, I'd not go into work tomorrow, but I doubt I can do that, but I can arrive later than normal and possibly cause a stir. Attention seeking perhaps? No, just that I am feeling a little pissed off and wish to make a statement.

ECG
Well I've been and had the ECG as requested by my endocrinologist and the doctor is saying that I've nothing to worry about. That is a weight of my shoulders, even if I had no worries over my hearts health.
I can no sit down and consider what to do with the rest of the day. I do at some point have to go into the office to make a couple of work related phone calls and to catch up with my time sheets. I like to make sure that they are kept upto date as it's important that I recall exactly when I was in and for how long. That way I don't have to keep a note of everything. I should also get one or two things sorted for tomorrow on the playscheme, but that can probably wait till later.
As for anything else? Well not a lot to be honest, this weekend has been something of a relaxing weekend, watching sports and not doing too much. I could go and get some parts together for my bike so I can do a couple of repairs on it, but hey that can wait, I'm not going to go out on my bike today anyway.
For someone who know's the know this is the closest I can find to the request....

He Got Me
Well it's near the end of the weekend and I've got another 2 weeks of playscheme's to look forward too. I must say I'm thrilled at the thought, I'm so excited that I could go and support the Calgary Flames..... Seriously though being half way through seems like a godsend. I've never ever felt like this before about Playscheme's, which is a bit of a concern, but he it's life and I've got to get on with it.
Friday saw me on the mini scheme again, and yes I got attacked. A child in a wheelchair with a reach range of 180 degree's managed to attack my hands whilst I was pushing the wheelchair he was sitting in. I've got scratch marks on my arms and hands, which though not too sore right now can be. I've noticed since he did them that any sort of heat and my arms and hands start to get very sore very quickly. To add insult to injury this child managed to rip my hooded top that I had on. It was unprovoked, and so I had no idea this was going to happen. I did manage to figure out what the cause was, but it's too late once the horse has bolted. It was a good job that I managed to realise what his intentions were straight away or he'd have been biting my fingers off.
Saturday saw me at a wedding. It was an old friend from Uni, to whom I was very close for a long time. We were probably each others best friends during the time at Uni, and I have to thank her for all the support she gave me at that time and since. If I was to say that at one point she was the equal of Lisa, you can understand how much she meant to me. We however lost touch and hadn't spoken to each other till late last year, when I found her online and emailed her. Since then a couple of emails and more recently a couple of visits have brought us back together. She looked stunning in her dress and I must admit that I was a tad jealous, but that's another tale for me to tell. It wasn't my place to let it effect me, which in turn could affect her day.
The wedding went very well and was made all the more better by the company of another uni friend whom I speak to regulary, but haven't seen for 5 or 6 years. I guess that I've let that to long, but things always seem to stop me from going to see her. It was such a nice day, in a beautiful setting.
Tomorrow I'm having an ECG done at my doctor's on the recommendation of the endocrinologist. I'm not sure why she's asked me to do this, but I suspect it's something to do with her suprise that my resting heart beat was recorded at 60 bpm last week. This was after I admitted that I don't do half as much exercise as I should and about 8 times less than I used to. She also seems to think that while checking my heart she encountered a skipped beat. I've never had any heart trouble so to speak, but I guess there is always a first.

The Second Week
Having finished the second week of my own playscheme, I must say that I'm still not happy with the volunteers that I've got. I still don't want to tell them what they should do, they are not children, but they can't take any hints then so be it, I'll treat them like they are the children.
I think the low point this week was the fact that one of volunteers just wouldn't go work with the child we'd asked her to do so. I wouldn't mind, but this child needed changing and she'd not been around to notice. I had to go and find this out for myself. It wasn't very nice finding that out and more so with the volunteer sat in another part of the building. I've been told off often before now for how I treat the volunteers and I guess my own high standards has led to me forgetting that these volunteers aren't that far beyond being children themselves. Still if asked to stay with the child they should at least do that.
In terms of activities this past week, I've taken my group out to the local soft play zone, that was fun, they loved it in there. I know it isn't the most inovative idea, but they wanted it. Yesterday I took them to see Madagascar, which I found to be funny, but not in the Shrek class. The film was full of the tried and tested formula for the newer animated features, and Shrek set such high standards that nothing compares to it these days. Perhaps the first non Disney, Pixar film will match Shrek.
Today was a day of rest, but included in that was a trip to Leeds for a hospital appointment, only to find out that although I'm healthy and the doctor was stunned at my low heart rate, she wants me to have an ECG. It's mind blowing, but as my body is like a mine field in terms of results of blood tests nothing these days suprises me.
And now onto something different..... Thank You Janet, your comments keep cheering me up, as much as Chris Pronger signing for the Oilers did all Oiler fans. You have my permission to link these ramblings to your site if you so wish. It may boost the numbers over here and one or two more comments can be made... Oh and the next time you leave a message, why no suggest a colour for me to use in the next post..
