Morning all. Last early morning for me for a week. Yay!

Morning!!

It got un-cancelled at 4. But we only got through a small part of it before people had to leave to catch a flight home. Yeh I got some leftovers.

They've finally decided to cancel the meeting.

Even when the pies are cold, and the bread has gone stale?

To make things worse... Told yesterday it was a full day meeting. Told meeting would be catered, so "don't bring your lunch". Now I'm unlikely to be part of it til late this arvo. So I miss out on catered lunch.

Got told yesterday that I had to be at work earlier than usual to prepare for a meeting at 9. Get in this morning a bit past 7, and get told that they no longer need any of it til 1pm. I am not a morning person.

Morning all. So tired.

For the most part she's good. She's a very strong woman, and is too stubborn to let this win. But she does break down at times, which is to be expected. She's In a lot of pain.

They use it instead of putting a needle into her vein everytime she needed blood. Was a tube in her chest, that fed into a vein. She's had it in for months - saves her from getting track marks on get arms, and possibly collapsing veins. At one point she was getting 3 transfusions a week.

Also Jamie had her Hickman removed today. She doesn't need it anymore

Called one of my suppliers earlier chasing some information we'd been waiting for for a month. She cracked it with me, saying she'd sent it to my manager plenty of times, and he'd never replied. Asked her to forward it to me, as he wasn't here (plus he was the one who had told me to call her), and when I get the email...they'd been spelling his name wrong in his email address. Wrote back to her and suggested she update his details in her system. I love it when angry people turn out to be wrong.

Can I just point out that Pazz exfoliates with a chux, lol. He's not using anything girly.

Last time I was in SA and ordered a "parmy" they forget the ham!!! Then told me I should have requested it, as its an 'extra'. Ham is standard on parmas!

I hate asking

I could get the bike, but his helmet would be more difficult

How can I put this delicately....be glad you're not a woman. I've seen nose bleeds and other things land my sister back in hospital. Plus te steroid treatment had given her cysts on her ovaries, so she's in constant pain. And yet she's still the most positive person I know. Even she is doing the "other people have it worse" thing. It's amazing. I hope your platelet count goes up Blazer, or at worst, doesn't drop. Thanks for sharing Am back at the blood bank in a few weeks to try to donate again. If this works this time, I'll be able to donate platelets soon.

This guy on the train: His bike is leaning against 3 seats, and he's laying enough across the one next to him that It can't be used either. Only one other person has managed to sit there now, leaving 4 otherwise useable seats unavailable. People end up standing on this train, as it gets so packed after only a couple of stops. It's just rude. I doubt he's paid 5 fares to cover the space he's taking up. Plus his bike wheel is blocking the aisle.

My sister has been on that medication too. When she was first diagnosed she had a bruise on her face 10cm across - and she got that by popping a pimple. So yeh, I can see how alcohol would be a bad idea.

I joined the no e marrow register in the hopes I can help someone who needs the transplant. From what my sister tells me a biopsy is f*cking painful. Do you get transfusions, or do you just have to rely on the hope that your body will produce it?

150-400 freeze. 24 is good cause it was at 2 for a long time.

Everyone at work is miserable today. Something horrible has happened. We've run out of coffee. There are two people who deal with the coffee supplier. One does the purchasing, and one does the payments. They're each claiming the other is the problem. One is saying its on order, but won't be supplied til the account is settled. The other is saying the account is up to date, but the beans haven't been ordered. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm tempted to go into hiding til they get their fix.

Jamie's platelet count went up on its own!! She hasn't had a platelet transfusion in 18 days now. It's gone up to 24, still well short of the 150 target, but as long as it stays over 20 she doesn't need any transfusions

I have a doppelgänger?

Freeze..don't believe everything you learned from a porno. Lol.
