A girl I knew in primary school drove me home (to my parents’ house) in her huge truck, she took a wrong turn and we ended up in a quarry and along the way it snowed briefly.

I was looking into getting a surgical traineeship, but to start now instead of a couple of years of doctoring and went to a Miss Australia gift ceremony where the runner-up was getting one at Royal North Shore, so I could see what was involved.
I was roped into helping with some charity thing where I had to stamp ink on a certificate with my thumb, José was there and the other women clucked around him as I told them how he likes to drink tea.
Then I stayed the night at someone’s house and in the morning had a shower and used all her fancy scrubs & washes but left my spleen
on the floor (it fell out, I didn’t panic because it hadn’t ruptured & you can live without them ok). I tried to mop up the blood with the bamboo bathmat with little success.
As I was getting dressed I listened to ‘Rubberband Girl’ and was surprised because I didn’t know I had it on my ipone.
My brother came to pick me up, he was a bit annoyed cos I’d taken the keys to the Peugeot with me (the car I owned from 2003-2006).

I was at my high school, some scary dudes thought I had told on them & wanted to beat me up.
Then I was talking to some junior doctorbs having lunch in the hospital cafeteria. One of them had rigged up his stethoscope and headphones so he could listen to music with them in. He asked me to smell his meal, said it smelled like blood. It did smell a bit like menstrual blood, so he just ate the cauliflower cheese.
At some point I was also attacked by a wolf in a police station.
