(no title today. It’s Thursday)

I am not in a very wibloggery mood at the moment. However such is my sense of duty to the cause of er… something, that I will endeavour to dig up some worthy morsels for your entertainment or something…
Yesterday I went to get my hair cut. The sign said “Quick cuts $20″. I walked in [...]

Hair and Clobber YayStyle

When I open my shop selling sensible clothing, it will also have an attached hair cutting place. All of the people cutting hair will also have higher qualifications in interesting things and will be able to carry on conversations about many things. I have found that a show stopping reply to “So what did you [...]

a bloody good block

So I have my finished my learnage on respiration and associated diseases. As of yesterday, we started Haematology. This is a “different” block because it’s held at our clinical schools (ie. hospitals). However my clinical school is not based at my hospital, so I am spending four days per week at a large area hospital [...]

ugh! ergh! yuck! ptoooie!

*Shudder* my mother just brought me home some throat lozenges to try. Not so much because of my throat but because they’re new and being advertised and people will be asking about them at work. They’re herbal. Which is not bad in itself. But man they taste FOUL. Unfortunately they feel like they are actually [...]

the perks of being sick

1. I can justify buying a berry smoothie (berries, sorbet, ice and strawberry juice) because “it soothes my throat” and it contains fluid. Fluids are important when one is sick.
2. I can justify buying liquorice bullets to tempt my poor sickly appetite (hah!)
3. Resting is important for my convalescence
Shhhh don’t tell anyone [...]

more wailing and tearing of clothes

Ah it’s not so bad. I just sound all croaky. So much so that when I called my brother from the station the conversation went a bit like this:
Him “hello?”
Me “Hi, it’s me, could you pick me up please?”
Him “hello??”
Me “Can you hear me? I’m at the station!”
Him “Um who is this??”
Hahahaha

uninspired

I just don’t have much of interest going on at the moment.
Oh except for my new nasal spray. Unlike my old nasal spray, it’s an aerosol version and hypertonic instead of isotonic. And the best bit is that you can keep spraying as lonnnnnnng as you want. None of this metered spray business. You just [...]

hmmmm

It’s really hard to take photos of your own throat. I’ve taken some really nice ones of my brother’s. But I can’t get mine! He can’t either. He says that my throat isn’t as photogenic as his. Hmph.

I must see my pharmacist

I have a sore throat. If I went to see my pharmacist, assuming that the pharmacist was not me, then they would say that I should either buy lozenges (useless!) or a gargle. The two gargle options are Difflam or an iodine based one. The iodine one *apparently* is very effective. But it tastes foul [...]
