Thursday & Friday...

Well, yesterday morning, I got up and went to my doctor's appointment. Was a different doctor this time, and she reckons I should start to think about reducing the dose of happy pills I take down to one, in about a month's time. I'm not too thrilled at the idea, but then again, I don't always feel that they help that much anyway.

Went from there to the local health board, because I put in a claim for travel expenses for when I was away with Dad about 2 months ago, and I hadn't heard anything back about it. Well, in a piece of extraordinary timing, the cheque had just been done on Wednesday, and was going to go in the post! So I saved them a stamp and left with a cheque in my paws.

Got up to work about half eleven, and heard about it the rest of the day... "bloody part-timers", etc.

This morning was an appointment with the social work dept. It's been decided that the house I looked at on Wednesday isn't really for me... I want a separate kitchen because a kitchenette just isn't big enough. And with a separate kitchen, you should get a bigger living room space too. And I don't want a big garden, but I would like a little bit that's mine... no communal area for drying my knickers, and a wee bit that I can sit out in on a nice day, and that the cats can call their own. But it's okay... I won't be penalised for not taking that one, and who knows... maybe the next place they offer will be perfect?

Came from there about quarter past 11, went and got something for lunch, and headed up to the office just after 12... and the boss phoned about half past to say could I go and cover the shop at lunchtime... so I had to go more or less straight back down. :-(

I guess I'll head off now, and I think I'll treat myself to chips for tea, because I can't be arsed to cook tonight.

Might catch you later, see how the mood takes me...
