Work and noodle market

Wednesday 16th October woke up 8ish have breakfast then thought best to for a run and actually did stretches before I went. Only thing was it was quite hot was 24 degrees but managed to do 3.13 miles non stop. Once home wash bedding and running stuff, have shower then go to Rhodes shopping centre to jeans west and get black playsuit. Whilst their got boost juice and then once home chill update blog and watch Ellen before I had to go to work. When walking to work was very hot, ended up team leader on B side and only open to 24 patients with 3 staff on my side. Before going for break patient fell and then had patient waiting to go to nursing home supposed to go 2 but didn't arrive til 8.30. In the morning shift had patient fall so got alarm for chair and had special for few hours but then decided didn't need special as alarm working well at moment. Had clinical review as low blood pressure and febrile patient but at least still managed to finish on time. Once home mum phoned to say decided on Melbourne to do the 5 day one so said will sort this week, whilst speaking to her got nose bleed but soon stopped bed 11ish. Woke up before alarm at 5.30 read emails for abit and even had time for cup of tea before leaving for work. Once at work still on B side with 3 staff ended up doing S8 round and was hoping to do line change but was only 1 which NG did. So me and Edna got on with beds and washing patients, then didn't end up going for break til 10.30. Even though I wasn't team leader people seemed to be telling things, I went 1st lunch and ended up handing over. Didn't realise was Jiewen's last day today as going on paternity leave and had little get together plus presents. On way home was very windy and smoky, once home had shower then go catch train and nearly got blown away. Trust my train to be cancelled so ended up getting into city at 5.20 briefly met Tiago to decide when meeting later. Then to Country Road in QVB for skirt but didn't have so had to go to one in Pitt St and got. It was then to Ripcurl to get Bens Xmas present which I saw when Sharon here but unfortunately didn't have in his size will just have to come back. Next to meet Hisako at the Night Noodle Market in Hyde Park which is on for October for Good Food Month. The Night Noodle Market has something foe everyone with other 40 food stalls, bar and nightly entertainment. It took abit to find each other and then it was nice to soak up the authentic Asian market atmosphere. But was so much choice where to start as has authentic Thai deserts to Peking duck pancakes and Shanghai style soup dumplings. Ended up starting with a mixed plate 1st which had a mixture of things springs rolls vegetable & meat, Dim Sum and ribs which weren't proper ribs. Next was duck pancakes was good but too small and pork sang chow bow which is pork mince served in lettuce leave. It was then for pudding went to Serendipity natural ice cream I had blood orange sorbet which had a good balance of sweet and sour. Coffee next but not much choice so went to Starbucks the 1st time since been in Sydney had a delicious caramel frappuccino. It was then to meet Tiago but couldn't tell him where exactly I was but eventually found him on Elizabeth/Liverpool street in his car. Once back at mine had wine and spoke to Vanessa briefly then to bed. In the morning Tiago left early at 5.30 to go to work but luckily I went back to sleep til 8.30. Had breakfast then went for run at 10ish managed to do 3.43 miles non stop, shower then go to Coles to get a few things. I then went to flight centre to pay deposit for Mum and Dad's Melbourne trip at least one more thing organised for them. At work their tried to put me on A side but swapped back to B side had nice shift even got to spend an hour in CT scan with patient. Got slightly busy about 6ish but apart from that was very chilled even had an AIN who did observations and BSL's. Finished abit before 10 tried phoning mum no answer so spoke to Sharon instead for nearly 30 minutes good to have a catch up. When finished speaking to Sharon, mum had tried phoned so phoned and told her about paying deposit bed 11ish. Woke up before alarm at 5.20 back to sleep til 6ish then thought best get up before I fell back asleep had juice go to work and speak mum onroute. At work nice felt abit like nursing home as a lot off all cares patients, had clinical review as high pulse so do ECG etc but finish on time. When back feeling tired so ended up having a little nap on sofa after reading book. Tiago arrive 6 and I wasn't ready think he expected me to be ready, it took abit for me to get moving but was ready just after 7. Had some red wine and caught train just after 8 to city phone Nanna on way to wish her a happy birthday. Went to new bar in Surreyhills 'Tios' a tequila bar and when walk in feel like going into USA/Mexico border. Had a great selection of tequila cocktails ended up having a two and get their famous spicy popcorn complimentary. After went to 'Hello Sailor' in Darlinghurst for one of Tiagos friends birthday is nautical themed just had one drink vodka and apple made with fresh apple juice. Then was stating to feel abit hungry but nothing wanted so ended up walking to Harry's wheels where had a hot dog for a change and just as good as the pies. Next walk to central and get train but only going to Strathfield so had to get taxi from there home after 1. When got in decided to have some more wine but when we woke it was still there not drank, stayed in bed til 12ish. At work on late and Tiago drove me and was in charge had nice shift even had time to sit for abit as only had 21 patients. Nothing eventually happened and finished 10 minutes early phone mum on way home to say got money for Melbourne. Not tired when in think eventually go to sleep 11ish and woke up before alarm got up 5.30 and even had time for cup of tea. Was expecting work to be busy but luckily got 2 AINs who on B side with us and did most of the washes which was very helpful. So in the end the shift wasn't as bad as I expected was actually nice for a Monday morning for a change. Only thing is didn't end up handing over til 3 as 2 had to go for meeting but only took a few minutes and finish on time. Straight to Coles on way to get a few things then home shower and get changed to go to the city got there just after 6. Met Sarah at entrance to the a Night Noodle Market near St James station and arrive similar time. Then where to eat 1st stop was dumpling/buns I got 2 buns duck and pork which was first time having and definitely have again. Continued looking round Sarah got duck pancakes but didn't fancy this time but did get money bags which was filled with coconut. Next for main meal went to Span Thai I got pad Thai and Sarah chicken/chorizo rice which we shared, the rice was like a paella. Then we sat down and had waiter service for the bar and a refreshing cider passionfruit sat and chatted for abit then time for dessert. Decided to go to serendipity ice cream again but got coconut/lime sorbet was abit unsure at first but very refreshing. Before catch train quickly go to Woolworth's as wanted juice got hone about 9.30 watch TV for abit and bed midnight.
