"Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning."
It's warm outside again, 21 degrees pronounced the weather forecast. Funny though that it was only 11 degrees two days ago, typical Dutch weather. I hope we will get a nice after summer, I have some plans in my head. I had a appointment this morning with Paula, while we talked some ideas came to my mind what to do these four weeks of vacation. Paula told me I had enough money to go a weekend out, spend a weekend in Amsterdam or The Hague, "Go out," she told me. I'm not sure though, it's alot of money and that money I can spend aswell for my furniture. But then again... Ah! I will think about it.
For sure I will go a day out to Amsterdam like I said yesterday, that stays. Further I was planning to go to a different sauna, I'm thinking of something huge, a huge sauna. Or the beach! Yes!
If the weather is good though, you never know it here. Next thing I want to pick up is cooking rice again, usually I eat potatoes,veggies and meat. But that gets boring after a week, there are many different meals to cook with rice. With rice you can almost do anything, I saw and tasted that aswell in Canada with Saf's cooking. Once I had a rice meal with liver, little pieces of chopped liver added to the rice, so nice. I want to learn myself to make more meals with rice, and not only rice. I would like to cook more differently, not only potatoes,veggies and meat.
The four weeks of vacation is a nice opportunity to learn that. Paula offered me to cook with her up comming Tuesday eve,' she asked me what we will cook, I answered, "Something with rice!" All counselors here at Humanitas are offering sometimes to cook with one of the residents, Paula never offered me, so next Tuesday we will cook.
This morning I called for my blood results, I knew 'my' Doctor was on vacation cause he gave me another phone number of another Doctor that will replace him while he's gone. So I called the 'replaced' Doctor and guess what? He was on vacation too! The 'replaced' Doctor gave me a third phone number of a Doctor who will replace 'him.' I called that number and asked for my blood results, the Doctor's assistant asked me my birth of date and saw that my THS was to high, (Just like the last time) and that I needed more medication, but she saw aswell that I didn't use any kind of medication for my sick thyroid.
Strange though, cause I use medication since I have a sick thyroid. (From 2003 till now.) The assistant found it confussing and she was not the only one, I was confussed too. I told her that I had moved, and that I just had a new Doctor, and that Doctor knew what I'm using for my thyroid, I told him that in our first meeting.
"I have to talk to the Doctor first about new medication, can you call back tomorrow?" Asked the assistant. "Yeah, sure," I answered back. I will have to call at work but that's okay. I need to call cause I feel that there's something wrong, I feel more tired as usual, and my medication is almost done. They will perhaps give me more pills, I use now only one pill in the morning (Thyrax, 0,1) I will be getting two pills then I guess. Then in about six weeks I will have to take blood again and then see what has changed. I'm carefull with my health, if I feel there's something wrong with my thyroid I go to the Doctor. Usually I can work two day in a row and just feel a bit tired, then the third day I will feel more and more tired, and then I need my rest. It feels different now, after two days of work I feel there's a heavy rock on my chest, feeling exhausted.
This morning I had two naps cause my body was asking for it, I'm happy I have a Doctor now so I can take my blood whenever I want and get my medication. Fingers crossed for tomorrow's phonecall. Tonight no 'free'dinner, I had to buy some more groceries as I normaly do. Two residents offered me to eat with them if I would buy the cabbage and the potatoes, (Again potatoes, LOL) " That's alright," I thought. I wont do it every day though, I don't know what is actually cheaper, cooking for yourself (something small) or cooking with each other.Talking about food, tomorrow will be the last day of work. (vacation) We will be working till 2:00pm, and then we will have a meal to close the last day. I will tell how it was tomorrow, for sure it's gonna be fun and yummy!
