"i can hear mulder postulating through the ceiling"
Yesterday, I had a phone appointment with the doctor, who initially was very confused about why he had had to call me. And I did a shrug, and said, I got a text asking me to make a phone appt in relation to some blood tests I'd had, and I think it is about my vitamin D levels. I should note this was a different doctor from the one I spoke to in October, hence the confusion.
Turns out my vit D levels weren't tested?? Even though I'm fairly certain remember the nurse ticking it off in the list for things that needed doing.
Anyway, he said one of my liver enzymes is slightly raised, but not to a level that would cause concern. He said the causes of this are being overweight, and alcohol consumption. He checked my weight and said that wasn't it (I'm not overweight for my height), and I told him I don't drink, because I don't*.
So he was somewhat puzzled by this, and said he'd book me in for repeat tests in the new year, with some extra stuff, just to see if we could get to the bottom of it.
I'm honestly glad it wasn't the vit D, because I'm perfectly content to keep taking supermarket brand tablets, as it's miles cheaper than if I had to get a stronger dose and pay the NHS prescription charge (currently almost £10 per item!)
I guess we will find out (hopefully) in the new year what the problem is!

In other news, I swear the universe is poking me to rewatch The X-Files. I mean, it is something I have been thinking about for years at this point, but like, I keep noticing people talking about it recently, or making fanart for it (I missed out on a Really Cool Zine about a month ago :( ) So now I'm just like, okay, I can take a hint.
And I have a week off next week! Which is a perfect amount of time to binge watch some of a series I have loved since I was a teenager, right? I would never get the whole thing finished, nor do I intend to in that time, but still, I could get a good amount of the first series done, if not finished, right?
(I have just purchased the boxset of seasons 1-9** from CEX, so I guess I'm doing this??? Hopefully it will arrive in a timely fashion!)

Got some cleaning/tidying done in the house the other morning that I have literally been meaning to do for years. I don't know where the energy or desire to do it came from, but I am not complaining, and I'm glad I got it done!
Hopefully I can get some more done when I have time off work! (When I am not reliving the nineties via tv shows, ofc ;) ).

*I just did some wonky maths and I think the last time I drank any alcohol was in 2008? I thought it was more recently than that, but we all know time is nonsense.
**I'm not bothered about the newer series, although I have heard good things about them. I just want nostalgia at this point in my life.
