Easter? (Blog 367)

Ah, delayed Easter. Annoyingly I won’t be celebrating it for a good few hours as my brother’s family won’t be visiting me until then. So what do I write about in the meantime? Well, I guess it’s cool that a dentist hygiene appointment will follow the chocolate binge almost as soon as possible, (tomorrow). I probably won’t blog about going there on Monday but on Tuesday instead, as I will be getting my teeth looked at fairly late in the day and a gym session will follow. There won’t be much time to write! Note how I said the checkup would be ‘almost’ as soon as possible. If the checkup was this evening, then I’d accuse the nurses arranging the meeting of stalking. Scary stuff which wouldn’t be worth it even if they thought they meant well. Particularly scary when such businesses aren’t even open on Sundays. On the plus side, I do have plenty of time to arrive at the dental health centre tomorrow without needing to get up early. And yep, you guessed it, I’m going to arrive about an hour early just in case. If I do get there sooner than desired as I expect, I have three local charity shops to browse and pass the time. Excellent!

Speaking of the dentist, I got a text message from them telling me to enter my medical details online. I always give such details when at the place, and I’m assuming I will again tomorrow. So what was the point?? The only benefit I can think of is now it’s easier for hackers to steal my personal data. And of course, that’s not really a benefit for me, is it? Ok, I haven’t exactly given sensitive information (unless you find me drinking 4 units of alcohol a week shocking) but still, I’m not really comfortable telling career criminals anything. So the logging in went smoothly? Almost. I was sometimes asked to enter my username after signing up, but I never even added such a name when creating my account! I know what my name is, it’s Simon Wiedemann, but is THAT my username? I have no idea. Luckily I found a way to navigate the site without having to enter my user name, but in the future I don’t know what will happen. :S

Still waiting but not to worry, I have come up with two jokes! What do you call the knowledge of how to go fast? Wiz-dom. Why was it criminally negligent when Alan was playing scales? It was Al practice. More jokes will be posted on Wednesday maybe, and after that I think I’ll be reviewing for Metal Rules again. Yep, I’ll be doing so a little earlier than usual and I probably will keep doing so in future months. Why? Just out of politeness, really. Technically the deadline is at the very end of the month, but really you should post your work for editorial review sooner. Previously I did my reviews about a month early, but I kept getting asked if I wanted to have them posted ASAP so yeah, from now on I will post them around about now. I think. That may not be interesting for YOU, but sometimes it’s better to be polite and nice than interesting. Say you’re at a party. Would you rather someone explained you have a very rare disease or would you rather they offered you some cake? Just saying.

Oh this is starting to get ridiculous now. My dad left to visit my brother without telling me! After that news me and my father went shopping and as always I made the best of the situation by getting him to pay for large quantities of fruit, so I didn’t have to. Fittingly I saw a number plate with ‘FFS’ on the end, you can’t make this stuff up. Well my dad said he saw my sibling, anyway. I later phoned the latter and he said my dad spent most of the time working at the local mini train station, he just dropped off some Easter eggs and went home which sounds about right to me. Now the visit has been moved to next Saturday. Will I bother blogging about that? I don’t know. Now I’m here eating an Easter egg on my own. On the plus side, Terry’s chocolate orange! One of my favourites! Ok, I know for a fact I’ve eaten too much, I just feel like I have. I don’t feel sick (yet) but something in my body is telling to stop. But I won’t stop, I finish on MY terms as irrational as they may be. Yum yum. Bye!
