So on Wednesday night, my feet and ankles swelled up to three times their size, making me look vaguely similar to Joseph Merrick (the Elephant Man, to save some people a trip to wikipedia). It was horrendous. I had CANKLES. It looked like I was baking bread in my shoes. 
Following a night of worrying my feet will drop off, I went to the doctors the following morning, and there is three possible causes for it. Firstly, it may just be that I’ve been on my feet too much, and the weather has been warmer and they just swelled extremely. Secondly, I could have a thyroid problem, and thirdly, and probably the most worrying, is that my kidney is not filtering blood properly. I don’t know what that means or what will happen if that’s the case. I am having blood tests done next week so I guess all will be revealed then. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was my kidney though, it’s still never given me any real respi
te. After a day of having my feet in ice they’ve gone down quite a bit. My ankles are still a little iffy though.
On Wednesday I completed all my inductions, which is cool. I start my job properly tomorrow, in theory. I say in theory, because despite the fact my job title is counter assistant, I haven’t received training to work on a counter yet, lolz. I don’t know what will happen if that’s the case. I hope they’ll ease me in gently though because I’m scared and puffy in the ankles. I will find out in 15 hours, nonetheless.
When my good friend Warren was back in the UK, he said to me that it was about time that I started fancying somebody else. I told him he was being ridiculous and that Michael Weston was for life (and if you’re reading, you still are, babe!) but I have been lured back to an old flame that I have an on-off love affair with: Dan Balan. 6′2 of tanned Romanian gorgeousness. Especially now he’s sexed up his image… rawr, baby. The loins are quivering. I’ve had an on-off crush on him since he did Dragostea Din Tei six years ago, and yes I realise I slipped up and had a thing for his ex band mate, Arsenium (who couldn’t when he sings with his accent. woof!) but it’s always been about him. He just kinda fell off the radar when Michael Weston (and a few others…) presented themselves in front of me. But then there I was… watching Clubland TV music channel (don’t judge me) when what does it say along the bottom? HOT NEW VIDEO – DAN BALAN – CHICA BOMB. I immediately choked on my Belvita breakfast biscuit and proudly announced ‘OMG ITS DAN BALAN!!!!… AND HES HOT!!!!” to my mum who clearly wasn’t as excited as I was. I endured 15 minutes of awful music until his video came on… and there he was. The song is pretty decent too, it’s been getting a lot of airplay on clubland. I can see it becoming a summer hit. Inna is also Romanian and she hit the top 10 with ‘Hot’ not so long back so it can be done. Really though, I reckon he released a song in the UK because he’s missing all my lovin.
Check out the song here. It’s probably a bit too dancey for some of my friends but I like it. Johanna (Shut Up!) is also worth YouTubing.
