What do I do since I'm unemployed? Mostly go to the doctor.

I had to get a blood test today. It's hard to force yourself to get out of bed when you know that's what you have to do today. Ugh!

But I did get there. I was supposed to go to Belconnen so I could give Rohan his wallet that he forgot at home, but I started walking there and felt really sick. I've been unwell and disoriented feeling for the past few days. I think it's from a cold, but I'm also on different medication so I'm not sure. I got less than 1/4 of the way there and knew I couldn't make it. Thankfully cardless cash is a thing, so he can still get lunch at some farewell thing.

Knowing I couldn't make it, I instead turned around and went to the pathologist at the Florey Medical Centre. Luckily I can get my blood work taken anywhere and it's bulk billed and sent the same. Isn't Medicare great?

I actually think I had the best experience getting my blood drawn that I ever have! I warned her that my veins are difficult and she actually listened and used a butterfly needle. She couldn't feel a good one in my right arm, so she went to my left and got one first try! It wasn't even painful, just a bit of stinging. She said my blood was coming out slow, but she got the two needed vials without them dying out! Yay!

Hopefully these test results will let us know something more. I'm also going to the rheumatologist on Monday because they called me on Tuesday asking if I could come in. They couldn't say why because the receptionist didn't know because of confidentiality, but she did say that my rheumatologist said it wasn't urgent. I guess I'll find out on Monday.
