Me + bureaucracy = head go boom. I have the shortest fuse.
Our secretary put her arm around me and gently lead me away from the office…
In slightly better news… my most recent blood and eye tests came out well. Blood pressure OK. Blood glucose level average 6.1. Thyroid operating ok. Consequently I’ve been taken off the crappy Metformin.

The good thing about having two ridiculous migraine attacks in the past couple of weeks? Not being able to keep anything down, not even water, and losing 2 kilos because of it.
These attacks are different from the ones I usually have, as they seem to stem from stomach/bowel irritation, with excessive nausea. I wonder if they’re due to the Metformin I’ve been taking. I have another check up tomorrow, must remember to enquire.

Things I’m proud and not so proud of this week
- Finding out the hard way why Metformin states ‘do not mix with alcohol’.
- Coming 6th (25+ teams) in Haarlem pub quiz.
- Not getting a lot of questions right.
- That glorious artwork.
- Digging deep to find lyrics of an obscure Can song.
- Enjoying company of people I wouldn’t normally associate with
- Talking a stranger in a bar for 30 minutes
- Being told ‘You’re nearly as mad as I am’
- Spreading the words ‘turkey slapping’ around our lovely country
