... and it feels as if I've never been away.
Nights are starting to get noticably darker and there's a definate nip in the air in the mornings that makes you stay in bed a bit longer so you end up rushing at the last minute when you finally do get up.
Works starting to busy up again - just in time for the pre-Xmas rush. Well, 9 months after the LAST Xmas, all the weans conceived 'cos Daddy got HIS XMAS SHAG start to be born, ( well I suppose its more interesting than watching the crap programmes they put on the telly over the festive season.) Horrible combination, works being busy, short staffed, running out of the basic equipement and nothing ever gets changed on the way things get organised or run.
Still going to the gym. Still enjoying it. The muscle definition is a bit more noticable and you're definately hooked when you get the new Argos catalogue and you find you're pouring over the gym equipement and the home exercise stuff when before you'd be putting crosses beside the bits of jewellry you were trying to drop hints about.
And checking out the joggers when you go into M&S where before you'd be pricing the bras etc.
And the days you dont go for a workout feel like a waste of time. Bugger...

Weird bloody thing...
...tried a few minutes ago to get onto blogger and it said there was a problem, the usual waffle so read Misty's blog then just thought I'd give it a try and got on no problemo.
Really dont understand these bastards.
Quiet night again so far, its at the stage where if something came in, I'd be really pissed off.
And there are a few potentials downstairs, heres hoping, for their sakes they dont come off and get a chance to grow and develop a bit before they decide to be born.
At the gym again before work. Definate Gym-bunny tendencies coming on.
Definately seeing a difference in the way clothes hang - as opposed to clinging or stretching over bits of me. . . want to see them hang a bit more. Going again when I wake up after my kip when I get off this morning.
Still cant get used to the time differences on these posts. Must be American based or something, for the record, its 0350 on Thursday morning not what ever time it says at the end of this blog in the pm.
We were sitting talking about the trainings now and then, when we were student nurses/midwives, funny how we seemed to get up to more mischief then, cant see anyone doing what a friend of mine did.
This is a true story, but if questioned, I'll deny it.
It wasnt even me.
Friend was working in a surgical ward, and the old guy she was assigned to was terminally ill but every day he would ask her "Stocking or tights?" and she'd tell him not to be a dirty old bugger.
When it became obvious he wasn't going to see the day out, she shut the curtains round the bed, got up on top of it and pulled up her skirt.
When she told me, I asked her if she'd put on her stockings and sussies especially for him.
She said "Aye, and when I went to the lavvie, I took my knickers off as well!."
No wonder when they came to do Last Offices, he had a lovely smile on his face.
Dont see it happening now with Agenda for Change.

Just like a bus...
...Hee-haw for a month then two blogs in two nights. Its night shift again. Right enough, I dont get a chance to do this on day shift. Too many people wanting to use the computer for proper work type things like looking up lab results or worthy e-mails to people sitting in their offices along the corridor.
Quiet shift so far, but with the added potential of going pear shaped - which is always good for the nerves. I'm on with a nice crowd which always makes things seem less stressfull.
Managed not too bad a kip this morning. The cats even gave me peace although you dont have to stir much in your sleep to have them up, "treading" on you for reassurance and greeting in your face.
Went to the gym again, really getting into this now. Still a fat bastard but with a bit of muscle definition now. Dont think I'll ever become like one of those posing dames with no tits, massive oily sweaty muscles with a steroid induced heart attack but I would like to be toned, wobbling a bit less and non-existant Bingo Wings.
And there are some really nice looking guys at it as well.
Some of the women are a bit scary.
Nice big panoramic windows. Watching the big thunderhead clouds roiling up this afternoon just before we got a short but very sharp thunder storm.
And if the joggies are dry when I get up this afternoon - I might just go back again before the next shift tonight.
Just dont do what I did on Monday - forgot to put a spare pair of knickers in the rucksack along with the work clothes and everything else.............had to put on the sweaty drawers I'd worked out in.
Some big production company were filming an ad. for Sony based on one which was on the telly for the past year. The original ad. featured thoudands of brightly coloured balls bouncing down a street in San Francisco to highlight Sony's new Hi-definition colour tellies.
What does Scotland get - rockets filled with different colours of paint attached to rockets set to go off at specified heights blasted over a couple of derelict buildings - one a multi-storey, the other a sort of a big maisonette done up to look as though they are still inhabited in Toryglen.
So, you're on an exercise bike and you're looking at these buildings and all you can see are big bands of red at the top of a 20-storey multi, followed by a big band of yellow to orange with massive splodges of blue and green. Bit of an improvement anyway. Bet the local junkies freaked out.
