A brand new day.

So.....Will was back to his old routine yesterday.I faced a new one. It was strange for me to wake and wonder what to do next.I needed to get a repeat prescription for my blood pressure tablets so rang the Doctors. Bored Stacey could only get me in at 12.15 so I had the morning to kill.I admit I did a lot of sitting around.....the urge to get the washing machine on thwarted by the fact that the water was off. I sorted out some birthday cards for Up Over......there is a rash of birthdays at the end of August......but the time until I had to leave for the doctors pretty much dragged.I didn't have to wait too long in the waiting room. There were a few people waiting but most were pregnant women who seemed to be waiting to see a nurse.Dr Wang called me in. It has been quite a while since I saw him last.....way before my biopsy. He only asked about it after reading my notes and not because he remembered me."Did they look after you well?"I told him they were all very good. He laughed when I was telling him about the awful biopsy and the guy telling me to hold my breath and then forgetting to tell me to breathe again.He checked my blood pressure, 120 over 80, so that was good and he gave me the new prescription."Ok Doll?" said Shayla the Pharmacist from behind her dispensing desk. Even our trips to the chemist will be less frequent now I thought.I parked Roxy at Cooper's Plains station and caught a train into the City. I got off at Roma Street. I got some lunch and then wandered through the Roma Street Parklands. There had been an event on at the weekend called 'Alive'......celebrating Brisbane's parks.....it all seemed a  bit in 'bad taste' to me under the circumstances.The flowers were very colourful and Dulcie would have loved it and I remembered our trip here with her last year. I realised there were not going to be many places I could go and that did not remind me of her in some way.I wandered back over to Southbank and caught a train home.
