So much to organise and co-ordinate - as usual.
Dates, appointments, sufficient hours for driver licence - pah!
I have called 4 times to get my appointment time for this specialist - once she was out of the office, the next time I got the message bank, the next time she would call me back, then today I actually spoke to the secretary and got the same thing - she would call me back.
For heavens sake - have they never booked an appointment before?
Not even that, they already called - and I was out - and Small Man didn't write the message down...so all I need them to tell me is the time they have already made...sheeesh!!
Z17 has surprised me announcing before I had a chance to suggest it - that he take some annual leave for the first week or so back at school.
He'd already thought of it :)
So we have worked out dates for that.
And for dentists appointments (they need one tiny, tiny filling each - first they've had EVER!).
The only thing left is to see the GP for a review on Small Man, letters for the departments that be re: distance ed.....
Then of course the colonoscopy.....
We have worked out the weekend to have his 18th b'day party - Z17's b'day falls on a Monday, so the party will be the following weekend, Big A is rostered on to work - so will put in for time off for it. My brother works the same shift so he'll need to put in for that weekend as well.
Should shut a few people up.
Next to do is work out the venue etc etc etc etc and etc.
We are considering having it at Big A's karate hall - I'd prefer that to having it here - and at least we can take our own drinks and not pay a ridiculous price for them - and can do our own food or get it catered, and have some $ left for a DJ or whatever.
I am putting together something extremely special to give him - can't say what it is in case he is reading this 'Hi Poss!'.
This fatigue is still dragging me down,
like a grey blanket of weariness that I can't shake.
I'm getting a few hours per day of feeling mostly awake,
otherwise it's a variation on the dark pit.
Pah.
Rockstar energy drinks work better than anything else I've tried, but at $3.00 a pop and full of sugar I'm using them for emergencies only. Like once or twice a week, when I have to be somewhere for work.
So that's it from me, this is exciting as it gets :)

Watch them Rockstar drinks you might break out into song and dance.
I got a visual of that and now I'm laughing.
Did you see that movie with Tom Cruise and his dance to the Bruce Springsteen song?
More laughing...........
Warriorwitch ~ Ha ha ha!
But I feel like such a rockstar - getting the urge to squish myself into my skin tight vinyl pants and put on far too much eyeliner.....get Z17's guitar out......ha ha ha!
Hmm...now you're testing me...which movie? I'm hopeless, can't remember!

Hope you get on top of it all , love. Sounds awful ~ grey blanket thing. Good job re: the party. :)
Just pass me the Sarparilla and I'll be a good little energizer bunny :P
Risky Business
Natalie ~ Thank you - I'm trying, it's just not helping :(
Jayne ~ Sarsparilla eh? Jeez that'd be alright and cheaper too :)

Warriorwitch ~ Ah yes now I remember - jeez that guys been in some movies!

Ahh, I remember Risky Business, think I've got it on dvd somewhere, the song is I Like That Old Time Rock And Roll, by Bob Seger, it's on my "walking home from work" playlist on my i-pod. Really helps get the feet moving.
I like the fact that you are going to so much trouble for Z-almost-18's party. SBoy is 18 on Friday, & he's just having friends around for a bit of a partay at home after his first legal foray into the pub for drinks with his mates. We don't know how many or who's coming: it's been a bit hard when Sboy hasn't been around to organise anything.... Sausages on the BBQ, a pile of chicken wings, wedges, party pies, sausage rolls and assorted junk food will about pull us up, I think. You know: all the good stuff to throw up... If dominoes delivered out here, then that would be on the menu too...... A very low-key affair.
I'm thinking that it won't be too quiet, though.....
River ~ I'm sure I saw it...just can't remember the whole movie, just the dancing bit :)
Cyndy ~ I wouldn't be planning ahead so far if it wasn't for the OCD PIL - they'd worry sheep. Since we have to set a date and all I thought we may as well go all out with the planning. It will turn out just as well as SBoy's party I'm sure - Hope you have an awesome night :) Parents of near adults...scary stuff!
