... I can't help but keep kicking myself that I nearly knocked Conchita, the Austrian Eurovision singer over twice on Saturday working behind the stage... 

Wha makes it even worse is how sweet she was. I kept saying sorry, even if I had barely touched her and she just told me "Don't worry hun!"

And... err, it doesn't make it any better that I have a crush now. 
 

I have the hives... and in a bad way too. It just keeps getting worse since yesterday! My ears are swollen and red, my scalp is sooo itchy, my armpits, chest, my hands and my neck. UGH. 

I think it's my uniform, and probably worsened by too much stress and too little food... but I managed to find a 24 hour open farmacy as my shift ended tonight to get some pills and now just waiting for them to do their work.

Not sure it is a rant,  because I can smile about this, but bloody autocorrect spelling thingy. I have just read back over an email I sent to a customer last night and it has changed 'will look' into 'willies'. For goodness sake! What WILL she think of me?

Bloody politics in the Eurovision Song Contest!!! I know I am biased as I was delegation host for the Irish and befriended them during the 10 days we spent together (with me breaking the rules by having no days off and taking double shifts...) But they were one of the best acts last night. 

Like some of them said, next year they are going to have girls in bikinis churning butter. 

Oh I do! It's been a fantastic week and a half and something I'm never going to forget. I have experienced so much!! 

I'm just angry on their behalf... I know how hard they worked and how much effort they put into it... but that's what's become of the ESC

That's a shame Saturn. Regarding the ESC, it has been political for donkey's years.

To add a couple of rants: my son, completely utterly stressed about one of his university finals exams (plus other stresses recently, like dislocating his kneecap) tomorrow. Feeling poorly (flu & sore throat) and has been too stressed all week to have been able to revise properly but only letting me know today. Have, I hope, been able to apply a mummy's emotional sticking plaster!

My husband's total lack of any compassion towards said son, who has actually asked me not to tell his father that he is in a bad way because he feels that he is letting him down! I have told him (response: : eyes raised heavenward) but then had to say not to contact son. Yes, this is precisely why....grrrrr!

Men!

I hate that my parents are divorced. Dad left Mum 5 years ago because he fell in love with another woman (20 years younger) and he has a new family now (two small sons). Mum took it really hard, she was (maybe still is) depressed and she lives alone as I don’t study in my home city and as she hasn’t found anyone yet. It’s still a sore topic and I can’t even mention that I went to see Dad without making her feel hurt. I went to see him today and Grandma said that Dad felt that I rang him only when I needed something, that I only used him for money and that I almost never went to see him. And it’s not like this at all. I mean I don’t see him very often but I’m at home only twice a month and I have a boyfriend who is my priority. And it’s true I seldom ring him but he never rings me first so I don’t really see him trying. And everytime I see him, happy with his new family, I’m happy for him of course but at the same time I can see Mum who is so unhappy and who doesn’t deserve any of this. And mainly he left me too when he decided to leave Mum and I can’t forget that. When I see him with his new family, how he’s completely changed, I have a feeling that he doesn’t need me anymore, that he doesn’t care as much as before because he has new kids now. I was a bit surprised actually that he feels the way he feels. However, I wasn’t able to say almost any of this to Grandma, I started crying instead and it was embarrassing as there were other relatives too. It’s just so complicated and it’s so unfair to be forced to choose between your parents. I needed to get it out and I feel better now. Thank you.

I have just discovered that I'm almost out of my strong pain meds... that I happen to call my 'Happy Pills'... I will run out tomorrow. I honestly had no clue. Being dyscalculic I just didn't realize how few was left. Darn it. 

I really hope the secretary at the doctors office can renew them for me tomorrow morning and the farmacy will actually get the perscription this time. 

Ugh. I'm almost about to have a panic attack. I mean I'm still in a lot of pain when I actually take the pills. 

New shoes! 
They always pretend to be good and comfortable while you are buying them in the store, then change into the bloodthirsty vampires when you are trying to actually walk in them! 

My back is really not taking working at the hospital well and it's only my second day back... 


And the back specialist still isn't taking me seriously, to be fair I still suck at expressing pain
