Random Irritations

Sadly there are a lot of things to be miserable,e about at the moment and some things take precedence over Xmas.

And there also a lot of things to be thankful and happy for - all about what you want to focus on
 
People that spend way too much time seeking out arguments when they could be spending time with their families or focusing on something positive
 
A & E waiting times seem to be getting back to what they were pre-pandemic.

This time last year I was sharpening my carving knife and sliced open the webbing between my thumb and forefinger on my left hand. I couldn't stop the bleeding so wrapped it up and drove up to A & E. Spoke to reception, went to the toilet and by the time I had sat down and taken my jacket off I was being called through to see the doctor.

Fast forward a year and my older boy fell playing football today and hurt his thumb. There was a bit of swelling but nothing too bad so he carried on, finished the match and came home and had dinner. Came downstairs at 19-30 as his thumb had turned purple with bruising. I spoke to my stepdad, who's a retired GP, while Mrs Colch spoke to NHS 111, and both said take him to A & E to get it looked at. They got to A & E at 20-00 and 3 + 1/2 hours later are still sitting in the waiting room waiting to be seen.
 
Saw a sign pinned on a lamppost on the way to the golf club saying ‘Jesus is my vaccine’, that was 7 hours ago - still randomly irritated.
There was probably a bit missing from that 'sign' at the end...
Like 'on its way'; 'effective!'; 'working!'; or maybe even 'a Godsend!'!

Telling people their prescriptions haven't been sent over (we had this so often we moved ours to online)
