Black Friday. Good Friday. Friday 13th. You never hear about fantastic Tuesday or superb Thursday. Well, for those of you who dont know about Black Friday, it is the Friday after thanksgiving, where the most incredible bargains can be attained in America. People stand in queues from midnight to get the best deals. I wonder what I could want badly enough to be queueing through the night !! But, the bargains are there, and I so wish I could be over there just once to share in the experience and get the bargain of a lifetime. So for the rest of us its just a Friday, but some people have the added benefit of breakup day. Lucky kids, lucky teachers, not so lucky mums ! For me, it was doctor Friday. All those R1500 worth of bloods that I parted with last week have been shaken and stirred, and conclusions have been reached. My thyroid was on target, and is being well managed. As were most of the things that were tested. My vit B levels have gone up from 18 to 35, much to docs delight, despite the fact that I stopped the meds more than a month ago, and didnt confess. I asked if I could stop, since the great improvement, and was told to carry on as before !! We have a new problem though, potassium levels are very low. I asked if I could live on an excess of bananas for awhile, and was shunned and given chemicals instead. My cholesterol levels arent great, so that needs some assistance as well. So, as of Monday, perhaps it should be called chemical Monday, I will be doing all the right stuff. I knew it was coming, but not in my wildest dreams did I ever think the doc would allow me free access to bananas, my all time favorite fruit. Stand back monkey banana thieves, I will fight you for them now, because my life depends on it. So in the meanwhile, its weekend, and we have a few year end functions to attend. We have a lodger moving in. We have a few decisions to make, and we have chill time ahead. Apparently my 7pm bedtime has been a direct result of my low potassium levels, which causes fatigue. Yay. Thats all it is. I am not lazy or crazy or tired or passionate about sleeping. Nothing that a banana and a chemical cant solve. In the meantime, I can sleep with a clear conscience until my levels are up. Have a great weekend everyone.
