Write

Rarr! So ! I have finished First Among Sequels, the Thursday Next book I've been droning on about. And its not my favourite, there's quite a lot of exposition for people who haven't read the previous books. But there are still a lot of pure gold moments in it - man, its almost like fanfic. So much time is spent in the worlds of other books, its a permanent reminder of the genius of other writers as well. So clever, and bloody hilarious. I love! Only two years until the next one (BOO!) - but at least there'll be another three books after this one. Something to look forward to.

Had to spend almost three hours in the hospital this morning to have a glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes. Its a waste of time 'cos I tested my blood sugar two months ago and it was fine, but midwives, it seems, insist on these things. Consequently, I have huge bruises on both arms where I've been stuck for blood. Plus, a stingy leg where I had an injection that I can't remember the name of. My blood type is negative so I have to have three injections in case Scribble's blood type is positive and blah blah blah antibodies, sharing blood, affects future pregnancies etc etc.

I am tired. This is partly due to only having two hours sleep early this morning before the hospital appointment and partly because you have to starve yourself from the night before having the glucose test. Of course, I've eaten now and even slept this afternoon but I sil feel like pants. Therefore, I will stop being blah and simply go to bed. This would be sensible, I think.
