CYCLE 5 DAY 2
A brief lay in bed this morning just to see how things felt. That early morning post poisoning check to see if there was anything strange going on. As far as I could tell all was going okay, so I checked my e-mails and WhatsApp messages alongside my Amazon orders and that was the cyberspace dealt with. Up for a shower and to take my drugs before walking down to the chemist to pick up my next lot of drugs. I pick up a paper and head for the village cafe for breakfast and time to do the crosswords.
I return home via the co-op for bread and eggs and then onto some serious preparation for tomorrows therapeutic community visit. I am told by an e-mail that I am not going to be able to see the case notes because the clinical team have issues around confidentiality. I read everything I have got more carefully and request new information about their service. I am not impressed so far. I will see what I think when I get a chance to stare into their eyes. If they lie to me they are in serious trouble. I do my washing, load dishwasher and tidy up the place, before going to the supermarket to get a new clip board and some printer cartridges.
I post a book chapter to a friend who I promised it to and then returned home from the supermarket to continue some Christmas preparations and decide what I will wear tomorrow. It has to be something comfortable as tomorrow is the first stab stick which I shall do before going to the TC visit. I spend time going through documents to find my partners marriage certificate so that she has the full set when we meet the registrar on the 6th of December to declare our intent to civilly partner. That’s one less thing to need to think about, which is a relief as I did not want to be chasing duplicate certificates at this stage.
My partner returns from work and has arranged for us to meet the ceremony venue manger to discuss the form of the ceremony as we get to choose, I’m mainly interested in food, my partner and I will need to have some serious discussions as to what we think should happen in this ceremony. I think we will talk it over with the girls this weekend as my youngest is coming to see us this weekend again.
My partner goes out to dinner with a friend while I watch football drink soup and continue to get my two and half litres of fluid down me. By 10:30pm I am just about organised and ready to sit and blog. It’s been a day of bits and pieces interspersed with the odd phone call from friends which are a welcome diversion and contact with the real world. All I want is a good night’s sleep and a good start to the day tomorrow. I am looking forward to the TC review, they always prove to be stimulating and I feel at home in what I think of as my natural habitat.
Today I avoided sweets, buns, cakes and other goodies, day one of the new rules has gone well. Apologies to the children!
