16 Sleeps to Departure - 17.09.14 in Your Face

Still in a state of shock over the surprise approval. I had a split second today where I thought my passport and immigration documents were in the mailbox, but it was only a big wad of junk mail.

Lunch with ladies today, $10 all you can eat at Pizza Hut and my friend paid for my lunch under the pretence that she was repaying me for many cigarettes that she has pilfered over the year, but I really think she just wanted to be nice because she knows I’m worried about money.

My neighbour’s mother was transferred to the hospice today. That’s rather sad, but she’s suffering quite a bit, it’s time to check out.

Feeling really tired, and running sums through my head to work out what it will cost to get my thyroid scan done, how much the year’s worth of medication will cost, plus the year’s worth of contraception.

Had a call from the thyroid specialist, who told me to make an appointment with my GP for a B12 shot. Just great. More money. Actually, I can’t complain too much, because I was supposed to be having them a couple of times a year since about 2007 because of bowel issues. I never kept up with it, which is terrible, because it can really cause problems. I just figured that I was feeling okay, so it couldn’t be too bad. I’ll have to ask the doc about whether I need to keep up with them or not (hope not!).

Work tomorrow. Scans and doctor’s appointments on Friday. Dubbo on Saturday, through to Monday. Dog sitting from Monday through to the following Wednesday. Work Tuesday to Friday of that week, Monday and Tuesday of the following week. Neighbour’s birthday the day before I leave, along with farewell barbeque with friends. Need to squeeze in time with Dad, time with grandparents and random friends. Oh, farewell lunch with other friends scheduled for the 28th. Still need to uy another suitcase and ship out the last of my stuff.

Sheesh. I knew it was going to be hectic, but I am feeling very overwhelmed.
