It's Flu Jab season, and last year we bussed our way to the doctors, and walked our way back.
This time, we opted to attempt walking both ways.
Eeek!
So off we trekked, up the main road, through the little stile, over the bike path, up onto the other estate, over the amazingly named lane, and then across to the doctors.
We managed it there perfectly fine, and then both me and Mum were stabbed by the evil stabby nurse. (She seemed quite nice, and was much chattier than the nurse who stabbed us last year)
We sat in the waiting room for about half an hour, having given ourselves ample time to get there, so by the time the stabbing was done, we were ready to head on our way back.
Back over the awesomely named lane, up through the other other estate, over the bike path, then the main road home.
By the time we'd reached the main road home, my sight was starting to grey out on me, energy levels were suffering, and stumbles aplenty were being had. I even had a rather horrific looking stumble-fest at one point, where no matter how I tried, I couldn't quite stop the stumbling for a good 10 seconds or so. Mum held tightly at that point.
Kinda scary, if I'm honest.
But we made it..
And just as we reached the front of our neighbour's house, my watch let out a vibrated "Whoop Whoop", letting me know we'd done 5,000 steps.
Once we got into our house, it'd tallied 5063 steps.
And then I went for a nap.
And then it was this morning.
And that's all that got done, yesterday. Though I did animate that rabbit, earlier in the day, before we went out. Today I need to finish that off, post the ALChoon, and then likely take the rest of the day off, because I'm still kinda wrecked. Be that the walk or the flu jab, I'm not 100% sure. But I'm wrecked!!!
[chorus]
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
[break]
[verse]
Doctor, Doctor, Don't stab me too hard.
I need all my strength to walk back again.
Doctor, Doctor, That needle looks evil.
I need my left arm when I'm typing my game.
[drop][chorus]
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
[break]
[verse]
Stumble and Stumble, as we walk to our home,
I struggle to keep my self tumbling down.
Stumble and Stumble, our home is now nearing.
Just a few more steps, then I need a lie down.
[drop][chorus]
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
Step, step, step, Walking all the way.
Stab, stab, stab, Flu Jabbing, hurray.
[Dave is hanging plastic skeletons while balanced precariously on a chair]
Green: What are you doing now?
Dave: Decorating! For Halloween!
Green: Dave, you live in a bunker. Underground. There's nobody around.
Dave: But this time it's festive!
Green: No kids are going to find your secret bunker entrance. There'll be no trick or treating.
Dave: They might! Especially with my new cola-powered spooky lighting system!
Green: The scariest thing of all Halloween!
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Entrance Area
[Dave is setting up a fog machine while Green watches skeptically]
Dave: Watch this! It's filled with carbonated dry ice!
Green: Should I prepare the emergency services?
Dave: No, no! This is completely fine. It's not coke.
Green: It isn't?
Dave: No, it's cherry coke!
[The fog machine starts making concerning noises]
Green: Mmm, Cherry.
Dave: See, it's not so bad.
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Computer Room
[Dave is programming his computer to make spooky sounds]
Dave: And when they press the doorbell, all the lights go mental!
Green: When... More like If.
Dave: More impressive! The monitors will flash, the speakers will howl...
Green: Dave, the only trick-or-treaters you'll get are those mutant cabbages outside.
Dave: I've got candy for them too!
Green: Cola-flavoured, I assume?
Dave: Obviously! It's my signature!
