Painting, upstream. Overcast, alone.
Woke 1AM, then 3AM, then 5. Fasting for the new doctor – missed that delicious first coffee. Had hours to pass, with only water intake. Took some shots down at South Head entrance. Very cold, lovely.
At 8AM on the dot I went into the blood test clinic thinking it’d be over with and found half a dozen waiting ahead of me; maybe I was told the wrong opening hour. Jittery by then. Gave blood and rest area urine and scooted for a service station cappuccino. Superb.
Breakfast of quick baked beans and sausage and a shower. Then up to paint quietly.
The rest area has several arrivals already. The creep is going to wake quite a few people tomorrow. The new permanent (probably) has ‘his spot’ taken, hope he doesn’t crowd me out.
Summer is going to be a nightmare so hopefully the car is all fixed, windscreen and linkages, and servicing, for me to get right away.
Have to be in Narooma next Thursday for tests follow up. But gotta get out of here before then, all creeped and new permanented out.
