Grandmum had a bit of a fall today. The mediwitches on duty say she tripped on a bed pan that somebody had left lying about. I was livid, and might have lost my temper a little with them. I feel badly about it, but if that's the kind of shoddy care that my grandparents are going to get in my very own ward, then I'd rather them be moved somewhere else. I'm considering at home care. I could afford it, and it would take them out of the hospital a while, though it would be harder to monitor them.

Life's busy, but at least Zoe looks as she should lately. That's always a good thing.

Zoe, er, who's the girl that stayed over last night? She's on the couch right now... Would have been nice to be told you know.

I don't know why I'm feeling like this but I feel like everybody has a better understanding of how we're helping people at the Hospital and I'm just being left behind. I know I'm one of the very best at the Hospital, I have been for years, but I'm still incredibly jealous of everybody else. I hate this feeling and I don't know why it's come over me, but I'm clearly not good enough. I want to be good enough but I'm not. I do not like this feeling at all.

I've got so much work to catch up on. Today has not been a very productive day.

I had in a fair few interesting cases today. Most of them were not, in fact, spell damage, but just people who were quite paranoid. They were sent to us for observation though. I do hope whatever it is wears off soon. Likely some sort of new fad spell or potion that's got side affects and now I've got a half ward full of perfectly healthy people, but with completely paranoid mentalities.

In other news, Alice, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about in regards to women. You worried me for no reason at all.

Dear Zoe.

Zoe, I'm not sure how to talk to you about this but it's completely inappropriate your feelings ar

I'm not sure if you realize the age difference between the two of us but

Zoe I'm sure that whatever it is that you are currently feeling is just a reaction from loosing your brother and from me taking care of you, you're projecting your feelings on to

Are you going to

Zoe would you like to go to this silly Ministry Ball with me?


Zoe do you happen to know where I put the new box of tooth paste?

I seem to be possessing a body that is not mine.

I'm really not particularly pleased by this.

Considering the penis that is currently attached to the body that I'm inhabiting is larger then my own.

Once again, off to work in ill fitting clothes and a rather unhappy disposition. I wonder what kind of hassles I'll getting in to Saint Mungo's this time.

Are you bloody kidding me? I think I just scared Zoe's pants off...somebody I think is Zoe... if we were about thirteen years in the future. She looks beautiful. I very well wouldn't have minded if her pants had fallen off...but...oh Gordric what am I thinking?

I have breasts.

This is not funny.

Everybody stay calm and please do not run straight away to Mungo's. We do not know what's going on, we will inform people of what happened when we figure it out.

I'm totally owling in today...I can't...but I have to. I have BREASTS.

Whoever's pulled this prank will be severely punished if they ever find out who it is. I'm starting to think the ministry's done something to the water.

I was at the hospital when they brought her in. I wasn't supposed to be, but I was. There wasn't much anybody could do to stop me from being there. Hell I was helping the mediwitches get caught up on their filing. Their station is now immaculate, but I was just leaving when they brought her in. And nobody could keep me from being there when I saw her.

I asked our Chief Healer if I could be assigned to her case, but because I'm still on my 'leave' he denied me. So instead I'm staying by her bedside whenever possible-- as a civilian. I'm not allowed to practice medicine on her.

Godric I feel horrible...I'm going to take care of her this time, I promise.

Jesus Christ it's all my fault Zoe got taken.

I'm so sorry, I'm SO sorry.

I should have been looking out for her better.

If anything happens to her I'll have nobody to blame but myself for being so self centered. God, I don't know what to do. What do I do? I feel awful.

I got angry at one of my co-workers today, he was saying awful things about my grandmother and we got in to it. Turned to blows and of course, I have a black eye.

They're making me take a vacation from work. I'm not allowed back in for a week.

I don't want to talk about it.

Grandmum's not doing so well. Grandfather's not been getting out of bed. Dad's not happy with me, wants to know why I can't do something for them. I'm trying. I'm trying so damn hard. I can't fix them. I can't fix them for him.

I've had a really bad day at work.

I don't want to talk about it.

I just want to go on and get myself nice and drunk. Zoe, I don't want you to see me like that, so I might go and get a room in the Leaky.

I hate my job sometimes.

I've never seen so many cases of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in my life. The apothecary and potions shop down the way from the hospital is completely out of ice all potions, which only leads me to believe there are more cases out there of heat related problems that people are not reporting. It worries me greatly as I've heard that there have been at least a case or two of muggle death because of the heat.

I urge everybody to put up cooling charms, drink loads of water and stay indoors between the hours of 11:00am and 5:00pm if they can do so. Those are the peak times for the heat to be at it's hottest and if you do need to go out make sure to take plenty of water, wear light colored clothes, hats and sunscreen. Stay in the shade and do not let your pets outside, specifically crups as they may end up burning the pads of their feet on the cobblestones.

If anybody is having the following symptoms, you may have heat exhuastion, please seek medical attention:

* heavy sweating

* paleness

* muscle cramps

* tiredness

* weakness

* dizziness

* headache

* nausea or vomiting

* fainting
As well if anybody is experiencing those symptoms and no sweating, hot, dry skin you may have sun stroke and you need to seek medical attention as well.

I hope everybody stays safe.

Congratulations to the girls in the Quidditch Calender, I've yet to see it but I've been hearing it's quite popular. Excellent work I'm sure, done by all.

I had the day off today but a few people called off sick and so I went in. I've been drinking back coffee all day though, not sure why I'm feeling like this, I slept last night. We've had a couple people come in because they've fallen asleep at the broom, so to speak. Which has been a bit of a nightmare. I don't wish to know what's going on, I just want the accidents to stop. Four in one day is a little excessive, even for summer time which is high traffic season for brooms.

Somebody's left a bag of bubble head minister dolls with the donation centre of toys for children. I walked by them this morning and I couldn't believe my eyes. I went by this afternoon and one of hte other Healers was taking the bag and putting it in the rubbish bin. Told me that he didn't think kids should play with them and I have to agree, I don't particularly think they're very safe and they're also a little frightening disconcerting.

I'm going to be heading out of here in a few minutes, just need to finish up these notes and then I'm going home. Been here since three am when I got called in. No new cases in my ward though, that's always a good thing to hear.

It's early yet but I've already been down to the reception of Saint Mungo's and there are four directly related accidents from the Bubble Head Minister dolls and three semi-related accidents.

I suppose the most interesting one was how the blind witch thought that somebody had broken in to her house and she started to throw hexes around her kitchen and one was reflected off the safety ward on her fridge and it got her right in the behind. The poor woman's likely going to need to spend a few days here while they repair her tail bone. Why she had a safety ward on her refrigerator was even more interesting as ice box portion part had a bunch of illegal Chimera eggs in it. I'm not sure if they'll arrest her, she had to be at least in her nineties.

I don't understand some people, I honestly don't.

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my ( sleeve... )
