Lets do shots! but not the fun kind

It’s been a while since I updated this and a lot has happened in the last month. Only two months to go now and actually running out of things to organise. Hurray!! Inca trail 4 day trek to Machu Picchu booked (9th June- if anyone wants to join us, hehe), the decision to bring a laptop or to hang in internet cafés every now and again was made and, thanks to a lovely work bonus, I got myself the yummiest little Asus netbook, shoes sorted, most equipment sorted, first aid kit sorted… just a few bits and pieces left to do.

Soooo….. shots! Yeah, they officially suck. For me anyway. Day one was last week and just after I get one injection into the left arm and two into the right the doctor tells me I’m a bleeder! Great! And then my right arm goes dead straight away which is fun cause I have to sign a form and then have to go pay and enter my pin in the laser machine. Tripping over my own foot didn't help, the receptionist asked if I needed to sit! Oops.

Aching all over the next day felt great too. In bed I could feel the backs of my knees and my ears and my toes all hurting at the same time. My right arm was pretty tender for another few days. Now day two is tomorrow and I’m dreading it.

Uh, I’d love a jagermeister!
