I’ve been arriving progressively later and later for my lectures. On Wednesday I arrived at 8h30 and today at 8h55. There exists an irritating register which I need to sign every day. The reason for this is that I am not sleeping well, and when I need to wake up it is cold and dark. I don’t feel particularly motivated to sit in traffic for 40 minutes in order to attend a lecture.

I made a very armature mistake. I forgot to include VAT in some of the quotes I had gotten for our internet business. On Wednesday morning I got an sms from my partner that told me that the prices we had used were wrong and that everything was non-viable. After panicking for a few hours a new quote came in that was almost the same as I thought the origin quote was, except it did include vat. I was really disappointed in myself. Poor form!

I went to aftercare and spoke about my sister and a hectic conversation my step-mother and I had had with my father. I felt better after I had spoken about it.

I visited a magician friend of mine. We watched a video of a show that he had put on at Kalkbay theatre. It was really good. I also spoke to him for an hour and half about a wide assortment of stuff.

I saw a patient. 66year old female with known diabetes and hypertension on enalapril, metformin, glibeclamide and asprin now with a 7 week history of painless jaundice, dark urine, normal stools, pruritis, nausea & vomiting. She was no alcohol history and no hepatitis contacts. On examination she had a soft 2cm hepatomegally and was very jaundice. She had no stigmata of liver disease. She had carcinoma of the head of the pancreas. She is going to die within the next year. She hadn’t been told yet. She is a very sweet woman. So it goes.

Today we had 5 hours of quite intense lecturing and tutorials with no real break. I missed the first hour, but my brain was sore by the end.

I slept when I got home and am hoping to have a good sleep tonight as well. I am looking forward to the weekend. I am feeling a little uncomfortable in my body, cold, tired and a little low, but nothing too bad. She’ll be apples tomorrow
