My hour with a South African
I was kind of dreading today. I had an appointment with an Internist at St. Clares. It wasn't the appointment that had be depressed, but WHO the internist was - a South Africa. Besides somewhat regular IM chats with a South African in London, I've not really talked to a South African since I left the airport in Cape Town in Sept. And I was NOT ready to revisit that accent again. But Dr. Berman was nice. And from Cape Town and from the same neighborhood I was living in that last time. We only briefly spoke about Cape Town. and without knowing WHY I left Cape Town, he said "A PhD is over rated - if I was you I would be happy with my Masters". I like this man.
But about the appointment. The inital guess is that I have an over active thyroid. However, I need a million tests to confirm that. So I go back for a million tests on Monday. If that points to nothing, I must have more invasive tests.
I am back to the counsellor on Monday morning before all the tests. I don't know how much longer I can afford to see Louise because my hours have been drastically cut at the store. Eeeppp - so I'm also looking for a new retail job.
Because.....Alberta Justice are still dragging their feet. In fact, they have come to a dead stop. They have not contacted my 4th reference (altho they have acknowledged that they received that email on Jan 2). My Criminal Record check is still being done and won't be ready until mid next week. I'm beyond annoyed with the whole thing. And like my previous blogs - I just want life to move forward.
Altho I find when my mind is busy with something else I am not depressed - but I think thats more because I am just not dwelling. And I'm a dweller. And with less work, I'll be dwelling more.
According to Sherrie over at StickyAppleKisses, she thinks shes in her Saturn Return. My mom has been saying that about me since I returned in Sept. I feel I'm about a year too young for it. But I guess not entirely, as I will be 28 in April. So maybe August was the beginning of mine - when I offically started to have a crisis and mental melt down. Unfortunatly, I could be going thru this for the next 2 years.
So yah. My hour with a South African...
