half way around the world and back

I didn't expect today to be so full on. I was lying in bed, when at 9:30 my phone rang. One of my friends son had an accident at football and she had no car, meaning she needed a ride to the hospital. That was all good, because I love doing things for my friends, and would do anything for them. The only glitch was she was in Castlemaine. So I got myself ready and within 5 minutes I was out the door to Castlemaine. It seems to take so long just getting out of Bendigo!

I was in Castlemaine for about 2 minutes, and got her and her other kids in the car and headed over to the Bendigo hospital.

If something happens to me, please don't take me to the Bendigo hospital. It is a really scary place. Walking through the emergency ward brought back memories of when my grandpa was in ICU. It made me feel incredibly mergh.

Came home and within half an hour I got a phone call and got my friend and her kids and took her back to Castlemaine. Spent about an hour in Castlemaine drinking milo and playing with her kids, and then headed 'home' again. Although, I guess I had something else on my mind. I went towards Melbourne to see how far away Kyneton was. It being 33km away, I kept going, as it has been something I have been meaning to do for a while. After a brief toilet stop at what was like haunted public toilets, I went to the cemetry to visit my late auntie Joan, and picked some leaves for her. I called my auntie and mum while I was there. It was all very exciting, and very much so, cold.

I'm tired. And I have a 21st to go to, that I really don't want to. I just want to stay home. I know once the girls come over to my house I'll cheer up. I just feel so blah. I hate hospitals.

(how retro is my dad's purple car though! Wish he still had it!)

Here's something I don't think you know about me: I went through high school wanting to be a nurse! You wouldn't think it, would you?

It has all been coming back to me since I've been watching reruns of All Saints on Prime. It used to be my favorite show, Libby Tanner was my idol, and Georgie Parker is an awesome actor.

Unfortunately, our local tv station (only station at the time apart from abc) was taken over from channel nine, and I didn't get to see any more of channel seven until I moved to Bendigo (which was quite a few years). We only got channel 10 half way through my year 12 (2004). Even still, I don't watch a lot of TV.

I dont think I would have made the best nurse, I hate hospitals. I become sick enough being around kids.

It was an interesting show today. There was a girl with a heart condition who died but they revived her. She came back and she was sitting there absolutely amazed, saying that she saw a bright light, and had met God. She claimed that God had told her everything was going to be all right, and that the rest of her life was going to be happy. She needed to be rushed to surgery to get better, but died on the way. Her husband couldn't understand. He thought she was going nuts, and especially now, since she said that God said the rest of her life would be happy. But clearly, sitting there in her bed with a big grin on her face, she was indeed happy she had just seen God.

The topic of God often comes up in this show, I don't know if it does any more, but I think that's because Terry (Parker) is a nun.

All Saints is still around, but I havent bothered to watch the episodes on it, because neither Bron (Tanner) or Terry is there any more. Maybe next tuesday night I'll tune in.
