I'm iiiilllll

I'm an ill girl at the moment. I have a sore throat and have been feeling nauseous, tired and achey for the last 2 days.
It didn't help that I had to spend an 11 hour day at a GP (General Practitioner)'s yesterday. The bus coming back home was delayed on the busy Friday-night roads, so the return journey took almost 2 hours!

My mum reckons I am ill because I am not sleeping enough and am too tired these days. While there may be some truth in that, I don't think it helps that I am currently working on a Respiratory ward at the hospital where every 3rd patient has pneumonia or bronchitis. Two other people in my group and ill and they think they caught something off the patients, so maybe I did too.


'Under the Weather' :-)


In other news, on Thursday evening I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! I thought it was pretty good. The special effects were really impressive at any rate, and Ron is so much bigger than he used to be, and now has that teenage-boy awkward gangly-ness about him!! Hehe!

The dark bits were pretty dark and a bit Satanic-ritual-esque (not that I know anything about that, but I imagine it would involve grave-yards and 'blood of thy enemy' type-stuff. )

I have recently been reading some of the anti-Harry Potter arguments (mainly from Christian groups), and while I do agree with some of their points, I don't know if I would stop reading the Harry Potter series altogether.
However, maybe I would be careful about my own kids reading them, and try to make sure they had a properly formed moral conscious before they did.



but for now....back to bed and my teddy bear!
