Dear Diary

Friday 23rd January

Feeling fairly sore, the swelling in my stomach has gone down considerably and the bruising is starting to come out. Had a yoghurt & coffee for breakfast, got dressed and went and picked Bec & Paige up and went to Corio shops. I had a hair appointment at 2pm. We started looking at long pants for me to wear to Tafe, I was after long black trousers. We went into Autograph, I found a lovely pair of pants so I instinctivly grabbed a 24, went into the change room & tried them on, they fell off, so I asked Bec to grab me a 22, they were loose, so I tried on a 20 they were comfortable, even with my swollen stomach. So I grabbed a 22 & 20 just for the comfort side of things. They were on sale reduced from $59.95 to $24.95. We went to Millers next I found a pair of black/grey denim jeans for $30.
We had a look through Kmart but they had nothing interesting, it was time for my haircut.
I went in and gave Sam free range, I wanted a new look, something easy to look after. Chocoate colour with copper highlights.
Sam cut off all my perm and gave me a bob type of style, at first I didn't like it but once she blow waved it I was over the moon.
When Dave arrived home he was carrying flowers, which he gave to me with a big smirk on his face, he just shook his head and said "Gday Geraldine". He walked off laughing, I went up to him and asked if there was something onmy face or was my bum sticking out or something. He just said "No, you look like the Vicar of Dibley" and proceeded to crack up again. I threatened him with me cutting it all off with the clippers but he called my bluff knowing I wouldnt do that just before Tafe stated. So now his pet nickname for me is Geraldine...

Bec, Paige & I went to the Beckley market to buy my 3/4 sleeve shirts, they had them there for $12 so I bought 3, I got a discount & only paid $32 for them. I got 2 x 22 & 1 x 20. Blue, white & white/stripe.

Drove to Bendigo in the Nissan as we needed the aircon as the temp up there was over 40c. Got there at 1pm, had lunch at the hospital & went & waited for my breast ultrasound. At 2.20 pm I was taken in & screened. Everything appeared ok.
Wandered around the shops waiting for the traffic to go and for it to cool down a bit, we left at 5.30 arriving just about 7.40pm.
