FS tuesday

Last weekend my wife and I had to take our cat to the vet. We came in early so we had to wait a bit. I was looking around the waiting room and saw that they were selling a lot of pet stuff, brushes, toys, food bowls with cute decorations...the usual stuff. Then something caught my eye, it was one of those yellow warning signs shaped like an hexagone that you stick on the inside of your car window and it read "DOGGY ON BOARD".
I turned to my better half and said mostly to myself out loud:
I wonder if they also make some of those for cats with " PUSSY ON BOARD" written on it instead !?

Tuesday came. It was a beautiful morning, there was a haze in the air and the sun played hide and seek between the buildings as it rose slowly over the city.
I love the city early in the morning, before the invasion of the heavy crowds. The buildings glow like ambers reflecting the sun rays and every now and again you can catch the smell of roast coffee wafting from a shopfront.
The Monorail glides silently between the skyscrapers like a snake making its way in the long grass.

Nothing much happened at work, except work. When doing some photocopies, I noticed a sign taped to the door for the first time. It said " CSI Letterhead "....wow !! ...I had to see that ! I opened the cupboard door and ...there was nothing in there much to my disappointment... I reckon it would have been cool ...CSI Las Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York and finally CSI Sydney !

Then I left early cause we had our appointment with the FS. We had lunch at the hospital cafeteria, I asked for a beef burgundy with some chips and I got served beef burgundy with some steamed rice instead....go figure !?
When we got to the clinic's office, my wife knocked on the door and spoke with nurse R, I was standing in the doorframe peering inside smiled at the nurse but she didn't return my smile, in fact I felt like a superhero, I felt like the invisible man ! I used to feel like the invisible man with every nurses at the beginning but some of them are starting to acknowledge me and even talk directly to me now but that particular one still ignores me, unless of course she's blind as a bat and deaf as a post.

Eventually we got to see the FS. I've got to admit that he is kind of weird, he looks like a mad professor. I noticed that he wasn't wearing a wedding band, maybe he lost it inside some body...who knows.
He wears glasses as thick as ice cubes that don't seem to help much because when he was writing the referral his face was only a few centimetres off the paper.
He complained that after 20 years in the joint, he still couldn't find stationary with his letterhead on it ! His assistant had to go and fetch some ...actually she cheated cause it was just the hospital's letterhead and he had to write his name above the address with his pen which made the whole thing look a bit amateurish me thinks..

So now we've got some more waiting to do, but at least we'll have done all that we can before we start IVF. I'm trying to be realistic and concentrate on the positive side of things, use that time to get more healthy, maybe even upgrade our computer !

Actually we ended our day at the Mac shop, looking at leasing a new G5 instead of buying it, checking out prices and getting excited at the thought of getting a new computer....we haven't decided as of yet but we'll let you know when it happens...
