is there such a thing as too much sugar in one sitting
yes obviously
about a handful of fruit pastels will do it if I'm honest
I've just looked at the back of the packet and it turns out a serving is about 7 not half the bag as I've just eaten... ok maybe 3/4 maybe more... but there are definitely at least a few left as I type this. and I ate my dinner first so I was a good girl...
ok so I had some irn-bru as well and you don't want to see what this journal was like before I spell checked it you know when you've had too much sugar and you feel a little jittery and energetic for a while and then suddenly all the energy seems to flood out of you and your left with a headache... it's my own fault I expect no sympathy... ok maybe a little sympathy I'm allowed to be reckless and sugar crazed sometimes

now I got my dbs disclosure certificate thingy the other day in the post - it's clean I've obviously not been caught doing anything I shouldn't have been doing

and then I went training on Thursday like a good girl and keeping fit and such self defence blah blah it was great although I think I impressed the stand in tutor and frightened some 15/16 year olds... but then thats half the point isn't it *teehee*

then I woke up on Friday covered in bruises I don't remember receiving although I do tend to bruise quite easily so they are not really all that surprising and I suspect I earned the one on the shin when someone hit me with a shinai (bamboo sword) although I dont remember it hurting at the time...

and then on Monday I went for my occupational health blood test thingy for hep B anti-body test and it took me a while to find the occupational health building - it looks like a old house not actually a hospital building and it has a sort victorian mock tudor interior which was quite nice I couldn't read many of the posters on the walls due to someone using some really quite hard to read from across the room fonts but I'm pretty sure they were boring... must go to the options and get my eyes checked....
and then the nurse was lovely and we had a nice long chat about how understaffed the department is and how they do all the checks between blackpool and the borders and she was lovely but couldn't draw any blood so sent me over to the phlabotomy lab where they were rather more busy and therefore less chatty unfortunately I could read the posters in there - they were all about how alcohol consumption is probably bad for you... it was a bit dull anyway the place could do with some new paint and perhaps something nice to look at... a potted plant or something and I'd forgotten about the rather purple bruise on my arm till I had to get jabbed... I think the nurse was rather worried until I assured her it was due to a self defence class

I really wish we could have a nice cool breeze I'm not at all used to all this warm weather and the air feels rather stale and unpleasant and sticky... although I'm sure there are some people who like the heat!

one step closer to starting my course now,

Anthea

"alcohol consumption" you want lessons ? I used to be good at that when I could afford it

No thanks prof... I'd hate to see a picture of myself on one of those posters someday I'll stick to being teetotal it's a lot easier to afford

I only drink because its purely medicinal
