Hi,
Happy birthday to Scott for today.
What an amazing birthday weekend, thanks to a lot of organising from Mike. Friday was my birthday and I headed into town with Mike for a quick iced latte together before he headed to his usual Friday brekkie. And I went to Urban to meet James, Ed and Celia.
Celia is so sweet - I got a present from her. A Lego rabbit and a giant zucchini. She always makes me feel special on my birthday. Awwww. Thank you.
Urban let us down with their customer service. Their wait staff person was new - but she did relay our order back to us. But a full hour after Celia and James were here we still did not have our food. And when it came - it was all wrong. Like - all of it! I did not order a salmon stack. Hahahah.
But they fixed it fast once they realised there had been a huge mess. And I got to my nurse appointment well ahead of the 9.30am time.
The nurse at my doctor's practice was a little bit hopeless. And when I called her out on it (why would I let anyone near me with sharp tools if they are muttering about how they do not like doing this and why would they need to do this ) she said she was just processing through what she needed to do.
Hmmm. That should be her inside voice.
Anyway - she was also the nurse that had no clue when I went there about my ears. And I certainly hope I do not get her for anything else I need with the nursing side of the practice.
After she got a consult, she was good. And to be fair, it all went fine once she "processed". Mind you, it was also as easy as you might get. No issues with the cuts to worry about. Just - take out the stitches.
The outcome was good. My foot looks good. My arm was a little grumpy at the stitch getting taken out. But as of today (Monday) it looks super good.

The photos are all out of sequence. But I caught up with Mike and Andrew after the stitches were removed. For the third iced latte of the day!
Then home on the bus. Into the car at home and off to visit Maureen. She was WFH as she was getting a new couch delivered. Grabbed a toastie sandwich from Chillax on my way to hers. We ate that. Finished the last wee bit of planning for A2O. And then her couch arrived.
Back home. Then out for 6pm dinner at Hillside. Sally was meant to be late (7.30pm ish) but actually arrived at 6.30pm. So she was slotted in by the excellent staff and only missed two courses.
So delicious and such fun. I love Hillside. Drove Sally and Andrew home afterwards and into bed. Mike got a migraine late at night. Boo! He took some meds and went to sleep.
We slept in. And Mike felt okay - but he did sleep a bit through the morning. I got the time wrong for the hockey - I thought it was 4pm. But that was for Shakespeare on Sunday. The hockey was 3pm kick off. So we rang Andrew and he jumped in the car and came in to collect us. Google sent us down back streets to the National Hockey Stadium. Good call. We got to a car park of sorts and to the fence above the ground as the national anthems rang out. Glad we got to see them.
It was BlackSticks women versus USA.
USA got a goal in the first quarter against the run of play. But that changed the game and NZ was playing catch up until the last minute of play when they got an equaliser. Then to penalty shoot out. Which is actually not a static shot off a mark. But a one on one with the striker and the goalie. So exciting.
NZ women got none past the American goalie.
America got 2 by the NZ goalie.
NZ lost.
Andrew dropped us home and we went to visit Ryan for his birthday tea (19th Feb for him). Had a lovely pizza dinner outside on their new deck. Then watched Matilda the Musical.

Mike and I walked home and atched the end of the movie together. Hahahah.
Up for a coffee date with Jo and Rex. Saw Juliet in with her Mum - then Greg from ANZ days came by. Good to see him. We saw all the pics from Rex and Jo's visit to Africa.
Up for a big week at work.
Have a good week.
Love,
