Eat, read and be happy

Much as I love my job, I also am really enjoying time off!

I finished my last shift in GI after what could possibly have been the worst week ever, but I survived to tell the sorry tale and am now spending a few (well-earned, I think) days off. Yesterday I stayed home and chilled out with The Boy, which was great. Then in the evening we went out for drinks with my SHO and registrar, which was very pleasant. There was no hierarchy-like feeling, and a good time was had by all.

Today my friend Elaine came down to visit for the day. We had lunch, talked about boys (and not about work), mooched around the shops, bought some jumpers and didn’t feel guilty about it because the money came out of our no-longer-in-the-red bank accounts, then we met up with The Boy and had dinner at one of my favourite wee restaurants. We are currently sitting in my living room watching Scotland play Italy in the pouring rain, but it’s okay because we have the fire on and we are warm and dry.

I’m a happy girl. I’ve got a few days off coming up, and I have big plans for them – I’m going to READ. Yes, ladies and germs, I’m going to read. I bought two Ben Elton books in the first week of work, and I haven’t even read the back covers yet. I love Ben Elton. So in my days off, I am going to SIT DOWN for more than 10 minutes and I am going to READ. Hurrah! Yay me.

Here are some other things I might do.

Days off are awesome.
