I really really failed. After so many days of doing 365 shots, I forgot yesterday. But I have a reason, and wonder if I can’t just pick up from today and keep going since technically this year has an extra day anyway. What do you think? I think I’ll do it, why not, right? Ugh. Still makes me feel like a bit of a failure though. On to the reason…

I intended to take the shot after I had my blood work done - a photo of my little band-aid on my arm saying that I finally had my immigration medical and there weren’t many steps left for me to do. Except I didn’t have all of it. As it turns out, the physical is done one place, and the place where they’re going to do the other tests (blood test, urine test, chest x-ray) is the hospital, and they’re only open from 8:30 - 2. Matt’s going to have to take a morning off to take me in for those. I suppose he could take me in early in the morning, have some lunch with me if it takes too long, and then drop me off at the bus station and go over the bridge to work. I just feel bad that I have to inconvenience him for it. There’s no way I’m going alone, though. No way at all.

The physical went well, though. It was good to have a doctor NOT mention my weight. Usually they do, and say “Oh, well you know you’re obese” and give you a hard time while you try to tell them that you have tried to lose weight and that it’s just going slower than you’d like. Not this guy, he didn’t say a thing! He was really friendly and we were cracking jokes back and forth. Like when he listened to my heart, he said “Sounds good!” and I looked at Matt and said “Hey, I have a heart!” The doctor responded with “Oh, and here I’d thought you’d given it to this young man!” Cracked me up, I tell you.

Oh, and I fasted yesterday, because I thought I had to, and nope. Even if the blood test had to be done, it’s a non-fasting blood test. They’re apparently testing for TB and… er… something else that I can’t think of. Oh, well. I know I don’t have any infectious diseases and since they don’t care about things that aren’t going to put the Canadian public at risk, I’m good to go. Plus he said he’d get ahold of me if anything was seriously wrong. It’s very weird that they don’t send the results TO me, though. They courier them over to the physical doctor guy, and he couriers them over to immigration in Ottawa,

I’m very hungry right now, so I think I’m going to have some toast and if I can find the stuff, maybe a cup of tea. Watching shows where they drink a lot of tea has gotten to me! Maybe some orange juice instead though, who knows. And I might boil an egg - a boiled egg sounds good! I’m craving such weird things lately. And no, before you wonder, I’m not pregnant. Though just about everyone else is!
