It's true. I woke up this morning in a hospital bed. Of course it was just because it was so quiet on the Maternity ward that it was expected that staff would naturally spend the time asleep. I love this job.
It's just as well I did get some sleep too; Justin has phoned in his shopping list late last night and it's two pages long. So after I finish work at 7am I am heading dutifully to 'New World' the local shopping centre (which oddly looks and feels exactly like 'Woolworths' from Australia, just a whole lot smaller).
And then...need I say it...I then have to make the 1hr pilgrimage home, while trying to remain on the gravel roads.
Changing the topic...I bought my Wedding Dress yesterday - exact same one I was going to buy in Aussie - right style, colour, size and 20% off! Very happy. I have had it out of the dress bag twice overnight, hung up over the privacy curtain rod in a vacant ward room; fellow staff cooing over it and the distant wedding date plans. All very exciting.
Justin is yet again a broken man. Guys just don't get the dress thing. You are the focal point all day for a whole day! I get it now. Who wants to look and feel second rate, when instead you can actually achieve royal status for just a few extra hundred (or several hundred) dollars. Hope Justin can forgive me one day when our Grandchildren want to sit on our knees and paw through the old wedding album.
The main thing is...I'm happy! Everything else can get in line.
