Maaate. According to the dirty dishes and my browser history, I made myself a chicken sandwich when I got in last night and watched some YouTube ๐ News to me! I don't even remember going bed either, but trust me, how rough I feel this morning confirms that I overdid it yesterday! ๐ป๐คฎ I've even cried off going the pub quiz later because I just want to curl up in a ball and recover ๐ 8 pints on a school night, what a daft idea! ๐ซ๐ฅฒ

So Bug is back ๐๐ผ๐ she started by telling me all her drama and trauma's from her holiday including brief bouts of sunburn, having to go out for food every night because the food at the hotel was that bland, cutting her foot on her own toenail and not being able to go in the pool for 3-days, getting bad chafing on the inside of her thighs, falling out with her stepsis, and getting PTSD after being locked in the toilets twice! ๐คฆ๐ผ♂️ still enjoyed it for the most part from what she's said thankfully! ๐ค๐ผ๐ She's now rearranged the sofa's into a double bed, we've doing Just Dance routines off YouTube whilst sweating to death, and she's even given me a piggyback! ๐คฏ๐ฎ Now she wants to go bed and has traumatised herself with something she's seen on Tik-Tok, so as a result we're both sleeping on her bedroom floor with the lights on ๐ก gonna be a long night ๐ถ๐ค

Lysh has been on video chat and Roblox with Ava and Ivy whilst I've done some domestic duties, then we've been sorting out some holiday stuff since it's fast approaching now! ✈️๐️ Ree has just imparted her wisdom on sun protection routine, so hopefully this year we can avoid the sunburn trauma we had in Tenerife! ๐ค๐ผ

Had an unexpected message off my estate agent saying they want to come do a house inspection (first one since I moved in years ago!) - so my anxiety immediately kicks in and I've spent the evening weeding, hoovering, polishing, dusting, washing dishes and tidying up! ๐ ๐ Then it's been S5 of Love/Hate because the weasel needs to get what he's due for Tommy! #TeamFranno!

Whilst walking to work this morning, I finished listening to "Ultra-Processed People" by Chris van Tulleken on Audible. Very interesting book which articulates why we should remain mindful of the unknown long-term health implications of eating Nova Class 4 (Ultra-Processed Foods). The crux is that UPF's are 'edible food-like substances' rather than actual 'whole food'. It's derived from real food that has been broken down to flavourless, colourless, and odourless pastes (losing all it's nutritional value in the process) then pumped full of artificial preservatives, flavours, colours and sweeteners to make it resemble actual food... But it's mostly not; it's just basic slop full of additives to make you eat more of it.

Bit the bullet and booked in to see my GP this afternoon at 15:40... ๐จ๐ผ⚕️ It's more than likely just my anxiety manifesting physical sensations, but if I don't go and get a professional opinion, I'll end up self-sabotaging my holiday with Lysh by worrying the entire time that I'm dying! And if there is something wrong, well, it's probably best to find out sooner rather than later regardless! ๐ท๐

"Boomer complaint: Stop making me make accounts. A lightbulb that changes colors shouldn't require an account. A TV speaker shouldn't require an account." Real. Especially when they are smaller companies, more likely to get hacked, and therefore have your credentials leaked... which forces you to definitely not reuse old credentials to avoid stuffing attacks. So you end up with super secure, complex passwords for a plethora of menial accounts that should not even require them.

What a palaver ๐คฆ๐ผ♂️ try to update address with the GP, turns out I'm no longer in their catchment area ffs. Told I need register elsewhere in the next 30-days. Mint.

His diagnosis is... kidney stones. Didn't even have that one on my bingo card ๐ He's optimistic that based on his perception of how much pain I'm in, they're relatively small and should pass on their own. That being said, he is also referring me for an 'urgent' precautionary contrast-dye CT scan 'just to be sure'... ๐คจ๐ฅ In the meantime, I need to drink a fuck ton of water/cranberry juice to flush my system and take OTC pain meds as required ๐ฅด๐ Living the dream.

So today's trauma begins when it transpires that travel insurance will not provide any cover related to an unconfirmed diagnosis... ๐คฆ๐ผ♂️ And since Turkey is outside of GHIC coverage, without a confirmed diagnosis of kidney stones, I'll have no medical coverage if I end up hospitalised as a result of it ๐ So if I risk it, go abroad and end up in hospital due to a "rare complication" then I will have to pay thousands of £ myself to cover any required treatment... ๐ฉ so I think fuck it, just put on the insurance it's confirmed as kidney stones, that way I'm covered regardless - just charge me whatever it would cost if it was confirmed to cover myself, right? Wrong. You can't. No cover is provided without a confirmed diagnosis; in the event of a claim, they will check your medical records to confirm that you'd received a proper diagnosis. Awesome. So basically, I either need this CT-scan results before I go, or I'm rolling a dice on being absolutely fucked if I end up hospitalised! Or even worse, I have to cancel the holiday entirely! ๐ฒ๐ฌ

My personal experience with the NHS this week has been nothing short of incredible. I rang my GP yesterday morning and got an appointment for 15:30. My doctor advised he was referring me for a CT scan, and after chasing up Imaging earlier, I'm going for it tonight at 18:30. Literally about a 24hr turnaround from referral to appointment. That is fucking impressive, I can't lie! ๐ฅ My sis & Lance are going to grab Lysh and take her out for some tea whilst I'm at the hospital too, so appreciative right now! ๐๐ผ

Massive thank you to Matty for running me up the hospital after work, and to Sammie & Lance for picking up Lysh for me! I arrived at the hospital around 6pm, headed straight down to the X-Ray department and despite there being someone at reception, there was a sign saying to just take a seat and someone would call you. So, I take a seat and wait. An elderly lady called Pauline comes out being assisted by a blonde nurse called Annie; this nurse was so compassionate and patient with the elderly lady that it melted my heart. She takes a seat and I overhear her saying that her daughter will come and fetch her from the X-Ray waiting area. Annie left, as did the receptionist. Over the next 10-mins, other patients arrive, look at the unmanned reception desk and take a seat. Then Pauline randomly stands up and is looking at the unmanned reception, looking infirm and shaking (presumably due to a medical condition). Everyone else seems to be ignoring her, so I ask if she is okay; she responds that she needs a porter to take her to main reception because she has no signal to contact her daughter. A porter passes by and I catch his attention for her; she asks him to take her to reception, he says he can't as he's got something else to do, and scurries away with his head down ๐คจ A couple minutes later I flag down a passing nurse who speaks to her briefly, then goes to find a nurse from the right department to speak with Pauline... and back comes Annie! ๐ She attends to Pauline again, then asks if everyone has checked in - we are all like, no? She then hops onto reception and checks everyone in, then leads myself and a couple others straight down to CT. Seems they had been waiting for patients to arrive - but nobody was checked in! Having the scan itself was so straightforward and efficient it was mental. I hang my bag up, lay down on a bed on my belly, and a few minutes later after moving backward and forward through the big ring a couple times, they tell me I'm all done. I was back out the hospital reception by 18:25! Absurdly efficient really! And best of all, Lysh has no idea - so no need for her to worry! ๐ฅฐ Now I just need these fucking results back asap so I know the holiday can proceed as planned! ๐ฉ

When I logged the fault I told them everything online said that a red light meant the hub needed to be replaced, instead they insisted it just needed a replacement cable... well, tell that to the red light that still persists! ๐๐ผ♂️๐ด

Everything is falling into place for this holiday - even monthlies have arrived for Lysh so they will be gone before we depart! ๐ฉธ Now these test results just need to come back with good news! If it's kidney stones, I can add the cover to my travel insurance for like £23 - it's no drama - I just need a confirmed diagnosis! Please, I'm legit begging and praying right now! ๐ค๐ผ๐๐ผ

Honestly at this point I'm legit second guessing the GP's diagnosis of kidney stones. I genuinely don't think my symptoms match the profile for it. Or maybe that's wishful thinking? Let's see what the radiologist says from the CT results! ๐ง๐ผ⚕️๐ฅ

It was always overly optimistic to expect my CT-scan results to be available today, getting them this week in general is likely a big ask tbh.

It dawned on me earlier today that a few years ago, we had all the global lockdowns and life came to a standstill. We couldn't travel. Hell, we couldn't even legally leave our houses at one point. We missed out on opportunities to make memories, to experience new things. We suspended living. In my lifetime, I have also lost several friends and family members - people who thought they had a lot more time left on this Earth. I've seen people close to me have their lives irreversibly changed by freak accidents or illnesses that now make travel nigh impossible for them. I've seen climate change reports call for the complete suspension of air travel. I've seen conflicts abroad threaten to erupt into world wars. Basically, what I'm getting at, is that life is short and the future is not promised. At least not with the same conditions as you have today. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Be grateful for the opportunities presented to you and don't let them pass you by unnecessarily. To that end, it's going to take something catastrophic to stop me going on holiday with Lysh next week. YOLO. Carpe diem. Etc.

Been down for a sunset swim only to find the red flag up so we can't! ๐ฉ At least we had a paddle and a wade in the shallows, got some nice photos again etc ๐ค๐ came back the room get ready for tea. In a rush because they stop serving in 45-mins. Lysh is currently sat on the bed in a strop, refusing to get ready because her Mum has dropped off her stepsisters Palm Angels shirt not her own, and this one doesn't fit. Told her it's not that deep, it's just a shirt. Of course, I am wrong. It's the end of the world. Wish my life so carefree and easy that something so minimal was life-ending. I asked if she needs help with anything - she replied "yeah, dying". Going leave her here and go for tea by myself again at this rate. Ridiculous.

She doesn't want any of it - either a chicken burger or Doritos... ๐ฎ๐จ idk what tell ya kid. You can either eat the food available or don't eat it - your call... All inclusive with shit tons of choice and foods available 24hrs a day but she only likes about 7 items of food... It's mad. "Fussy eater" doesn't even do it justice tbh! ๐คฆ๐ผ♂️

Going to have one last shower, pack the rest of these cases up, and then chill until we need to check out the room ⏰ Then will probably drop the cases off at reception for luggage storage, and go in the pools/on the slides/down the beach until teatime.

We were picked up for our airport transfer at pretty much bang on 7pm. Lysh was having a drama in the minibus because she wasn't comfy with some board down the side of her seat ๐ started emptying her bag to use as a pillow, rather than just using her Jasper neck pillow ๐ now she says she thinks she's left her scrunchy behind on the sofa, and now she says she doesn't know where she's put her new flower claw clip either ๐ฎ๐จ๐ at least Bug ended up with backseats all to herself as a family seemingly missed the coach transfer ๐ซฃ

Turkey has made me very aware of how glad I am "tipping culture" in the UK isn't like this. Jesus. Everything you do there is a tip jar waiting for you ๐๐

Fuck sake. Get airport, go through all the convoluted checking in and that. Order an overpriced Burger King for like €50 and they fuck up the order by putting mayo on our burgers despite us requesting no mayo... Then as the cherry on the cake, as we sit eating it, literally on the floor as there is no seating, I get a text notification that our flight has been delayed until tomorrow!! ๐

Lysh is in tears and I'm just over it tbh ๐ฅด๐ apparently we are getting shuttled off to a hotel for the night & then brought back the airport tomorrow morning at some point ๐ฎ๐จ whilst waiting I check Jet2 and read that we *may* be entitled to a whopping £320 compensation per passenger for the long delay... much rich, so wow. What a joke. Just get me home already, fuck sake.

So, little update; had to go through all of the arrivals process again, we left the departure lounge, headed down the boarding gate, back in through passport control, and then baggage claim to get our checked luggage back... then a huge mission back down to the check-in desks where we joined up with a load of other frustrated passengers from our flight who had been stopped before they'd even checked in.

The Jet2 staff offered us light refreshments: a cheese baguette or ham & cheese baguette - Lysh doesn't like cheese so that's a good start ๐๐ฅ at least she likes the Pepsi and Fanta they were giving out... Bodes well for breakfast too. Currently laying on the floor with our luggage just waiting for an update of where we're spending the night. Been handed a crib sheet that says we are free to make our own accommodation & travel arrangements if we'd prefer - lol, yeah ok - where would I even start at midnight in a foreign country trying sort that out? ๐คฃ

Half the passengers have been called out off an Excel spreadsheet & are being transferred to their hotels for the night. Myself and many other passengers are sat on the floor of the check-in area still. It's 00:40am, I just want to go bed before we have to go through all this again tomorrow.

01:25 and we are now packed on a coach destined for the Holiday Inn. I feel like I am sat in an actual sauna. Dripping... ๐ฅต Praying the distance isn't too far cause I have had enough for today.

Arrived at Holiday Inn around 2am. The coach stopped at the end of a steep road & we had to walk down with all our luggage ๐ฅด checked in and got up to our room. Seems decent enough, and the bed is absurdly comfortable which is at least something. Going sleep now, let's see what happening when I wake up! ๐ด

Woke up at 8:30am to an SMS saying the rescheduled flight is expected to depart at 17:40 ๐ going to be a long day with an irritable Bug I guess... she's currently flat out - probably really tired from elbowing, kneeing and kicking the fuck out of me all night! ๐

Went to ask what the crack was with using the hotel facilities and discovered we can have a late checkout at 2pm ๐๐ผ so decided fuck it and went in the rooftop pool with Lysh for an hour or so which was decent ๐๐ผ♂️ Then I had to hairdryer her swimming costume so we could repack the suitcase as it was soaked and she wouldn't stay out in the sun to dry off! ๐ Had a spot of lunch and got our stuff together ready for being picked back up and taken to the airport for our second attempt at going home! ๐
