turpsSibs dinner was good last night. It was lovely to see my brother and catch up with all of his news.
I did think it was going to be called off just before though. First Kayleigh messaged to say she'd reversed into a bollard, then James messaged to say he wasn't feeling well, which went to he'd taken himself off the phones, had time outside in the fresh air, and had then fallen over and was being checked by the paramedics, which I guess is a plus to working in Ambulance headquarters.
Anyway, Kayleigh's car was fine to drive, just having cosmetic damage so she picked me up as it was raining. Meanwhile, James' work had sent him home in a taxi as they didn't want him to drive so he was having to come to the pub to get my keys as he didn't have his on him.
The doctor suspects his kidney infection has started again, so as our car is in Newcastle I had to walk and pick up more antibiotics, meanwhile, James was trying to arrange a lift at some point to get his car because we're pretty much stuck without it and a taxi would have cost £30. I have to admit, I was grumpy about the whole situation this morning because it feels like he just keeps getting on top of things health-wise and something else comes along. Not helped by the fact that apparently his back has been hurting the last few days, specifically the area where he had the kidney pain, and he said nothing while not drinking nowhere near enough at work the last two days because it's so award for him in terms of buttons etc. And I know he can't help this infection but seriously, this morning I was all, stop the world, I want to get off.
So I went stomping off to the doctors, sweating all the time as it's so humid out there and they didn't have all the antibiotics he needed and I swear, if they'd said to come back later today I would have... well, I'd probably have said fine and then muttered to myself angrily while walking away. But they gave enough for a few days and I didn't have to mutter angrily but I did call in to buy a iced skinny latte from Costa on the way home.
Meanwhile, Kayleigh's dad only came home from hospital yesterday and she's arranged carers etc, but his health has taken a big downturn overnight so she's messaging today at the end of her cope.
But yeah, sibs dinner was a bright spot in all of that.
