Success!

Dear Mum,


Gia's surgery, if I read the surgeon's handwriting properly, was "successful"! Got to the hospital after work as quick as I could to see him comfortably lying on the bed watching TV on a massive screen. I asked him if he could eat yet and he said to me:

"The hospital gave me food that mum use to make."

It broke my heart when he said that, but after I asked him exactly what it was, I was glad he had a decent meal of roast lamb, gravy, peas, mashed potato and chocolate mousse, that he easily demolished. And to think I had my hopes up that he would lose some appetite and maybe lose weight after his op, he obviously proved me wrong.

The new building in the Royal Childrens was superb! Best facilities and there's a play area called the Nest in every section! My brother was in the Cardiac and Surgery area, the Koala Ward. So cute xD

I woke up the previous morning to find Quoc making breakfast. It consisted of crackers, peanut butter and tiny marshmallows. I had to shake my head at him. He copied me but somehow made his own creation. My version was only with a slice cheese and philadelphia cream cheese. But after I had his version, it tasted quite good! I was impressed~

Yesterday I had work and it was quite busy in the morning. Was getting a little stressed because we were getting too busy and didn't have enough staff. This lady came and just plomped herself onto  our chairs, said nothing but expected us to do her nails straight away. Some people...
This young lady (aroudn 16yo) came to get her nails done. She had the most gorgeous green eyes with jet black hair. I was in envy. You can tell whether ppl are talkers or not and she definitely didn't feel like talking so I just went on and did her nails. Then out of no where she said:

"You're really pretty". I coulda died. Are you kidding?! I stopped, looked at her and said "ME?!" and she said yeh you look pretty. Oh gosh, then I remembered what I was wearing...

I had my mask on the entire time she was there. And so that explains everything. I guess she was telling me either not to show my face or change religions and turn Muslim.


Getting some decent rest today before I start a new week with new challenges.

Love you always,


Your daughter Anna ♥
