STDs - OK
On Saturday morning I went to Parra to get my blood test results. My plan was to go to the courts at 7am and then head to Parra at 9am, but didn't go to the courts cause I was lazy, and ended up leaving home at 10am.
I drove there, and on the way stopped in Auburn to check out the Nike and Addidas factory outlets. I saw my old high school gym teacher as I was crossing the road. Doubt he recognised me. He was with his wife and two kids. As they reached a traffic light, it changed to green, and they started cross and he said to his kids "aw look at that!". It gave me a very peaceful feeling to see him like that, he sure was happy - the type of happiness you couldn't buy, the type of happniess that fulfils and makes a man. I wish I could have that one day...I wish it very soon.
Anyway, I checked out the stores, came close to buying a bball jersey at Nike for $25 then thought I should check out Addidas first, but they didn't really have anything bball related at all. I checked out Rebel and their stuff was almost double the price, though their long socks was selling for $8 so I bought two blue pairs.
I continued my journey to Parra, parked in the shopping centre and went into the medical centre. It was a male receptionist. I had planned to ask for a female doctor because I didn't want to see that asshole again, but he didn't ask - whether he was a guy and didn't give a shit or if there weren't enough doctors I don't know. But I gave in and decided to leave it up to chance. Luckily, I got another male doctor, a younger, friendlier looking one.
He asked me why I had the blood test and I said for HIV and that, and he said "fair enough" and began checking the results. I was almost stunned he didn't begin to interrogate me. He read through the different names like HIV, chlmydia, syphillis and that and said they were all negative. He did say, however, that I wasn't immune to Hep B and I should get vaccinated. Geez, wonder why that other doctor didn't tell me that last year.
I walked out, somewhat relieved, but wondered if there was an off-chance I may have caught something within that three month window prior to the test which the test wouldn't reveal.
I drove back to the city and parked in that small, dangerous looking back alley that G always parks at because it's free. I went into the office to get some work done, even though it was later than what I had wanted. I got about 1.5 hours of reading done, which I thought was better than nothing, and returned home. I watched The Mechanic which was an ok movie. I loved the latin quote used in that movie: victory loves preparation.
Today, my dad wasn't using the car so I used it again. It was raining pretty badly so I couldn't walk to work, and I didn't want to use up a travelten. I drove to the streets near the massage place and parked. Some odd memories. I went to Paddy's and bought some apples. Goddamn, four apples for $1.20...and I paid $4.20 last time for five apples at another store.
I didn't want to pay for parking, and I couldn't park in the back alley because it was raining and it'd be too much of a walk in the rain, so I decided to get the transcripts and read it in my car. I went into the office to get the folder and took it back to my car. I drove to the waterside near the casino. It had stopped raining by now, and I sat in the passenger seat reading the transcripts. I got most of it done when a guy walking his dog told me a ranger was around booking people for parking front in, so I thanked him and left. I parked somewhere close by to finish the reading off, then returned the folder to the office.
Glad I got that done.
I went to the gym at the Wick. Been so long since I've been here. I had a quicker session than I anticipated, probably because I did my sit ups, chin ups and calf raises all in one go, rotating. I then went to the Asian grocery store to get something my dad uses to cook breakfast with, then went back home.
I just finished watching Hereafter, pretty good movie. I've realised I've been unintentionally watching a lot of Matt Damon movies lately. He is pretty versatile. Wonder what made him take up this role. I felt really sorry for the kid who lost his twin brother.
