Our last few days!
Nov. 7th, 2009 09:34 amWell Heartly's final working week has been pretty busy, despite my thinking it should be kept quiet. But there is nothing stopping the little darling really.
We didn't go to J's Tuesday; Heartly, though had pretty well bounced back, was still resting.
Wednesday she was pretty much back to her old energetic self. Nan ended up coming over, and gave me a lift to our appointments, so I didn't have to stress about her ear. We went to the Vet first to make sure everything was recovering smoothly, which fortunately it was; no sign of swelling etc. Nan then drove us to my Doc's appointment where my ears were flushed out. Then we came home, and at one, we left for my Employment appointment at Boxhill. I told Andrea about my job interview and how positive I thought it went, which she was pretty pleased to hear.
Thursday
jordina and
irish2007 came over as Irish was going to stay the night preceeding the Neighbours tour. So J had dinner with us, (divided the remainder of the spaghetti I'd cooked last week, and cooked two sausages each; went down like a treat; followed by a vanilla drumstick each.) Fun times was had by all. J left bout 9.30. Irish and I copied some audio from each other and went to bed.
Next morning, we had a fine chat over breakfast, got ready and left for the Neighbours shop.
Travellers aid (to help us out of the nightmare which is Southerncross station) were delayed in coming for us, but the Neighbours coach waited the five/ten mins for us which was very good. I was the only Ausie there, apart from the driver.
We drove to the high school, but unlike last time, we didn't get out. Then we continued, she described the studeos and the sets that are used.
We got out at Grease Monkeys, where Scott Major (Character name Lucas) was there to meet us. He was lovely, and I had to put my character immage of him away for good, Lol! We all got a photo taken with him.
After shooting him with questions and so forth, we said goodbye and went on to Ramsay Street. As with the previous time, we all got out and took photos outside the various houses, including Irish and I getting individual photos taken with the "ramsay street" sign outside the Kenedy house.
After that, we went back to the coach, where we drove back to various dropoff points, including the Neighbours shop where Irish and I got off.
Irish bought a shite-load of Neighbours magnets, and a couple of Alan Fletcher CD's. I bought one of his CDs and a neighbours drink bottle.
We then went to a CAFE where I had a lovely pizza (which was my dinner) and she had a drink only as she was taking the Howell's out for dinner later on that evening.
We then made our way back. It was 7 by the time we got back here. I think I looked out for my Heartly's ear rather well if I do say so myself. She was very good yesterday; it being her final week day in her job. still highly emotional of course.
Last night I had a committee meeting on the phone which went well. Miss Secretary (myself) took the minutes.
Then, called B, and went for bed at 10.15; I was quite tired.
Gave Heartly her tablet this morning, as I've been doing twice a day for the past four; today is her final day for them. She coughed it up; landed conveniently on my leg, ha ha! :)
I packed for my first week at guide dogs, and will shortly get ready for J's 30th. After that, we'll trip off to B's.
So There's our week.
Will write tomorrow or monday morning about Heartly's upcoming retirement, but I am forever grateful to her for her absolute marvellous work over the past nearly-ten years! You will *never be replaced Miss Heartly! May these two final working days, (today and tomorrow) be fun ones for you.
I looove you my Heartly darling!
Thank you! And I dedicate the rest of my journal to you.
