Not long back from my first walkies, I think it's true to say that I've been round the block more times than anyone else I know :) ( Brit humour )
Today is a big day for me. I'm going out, yes, really out, into town for a pub lunch with Phil.
I rather think he got the idea when he saw the flowers from Derek, but hey I'm desperate just to be around people so I said yes even though his motives may be a tad dodgey.
I'm wearing my organisation hat today, decided to start shopping online with Sainsburys, free delivery Tues, Wed and Thurs just have to make sure I am on the ball with my credit card.
I was tempted to switch cards to take advantage of the o% offers but had to face the fact that I would mess up, knowing myself is sometimes dissapointing *grins*.
Still can't wear a bra and there is a bit of a chill wind (lovely) so I'll be crossing my arms for most of the afternoon.

Panic over, I remembered :)
So, it's been ten whole days since I've been online and I'm happy to say I'm almost back to my old self : Part of me wishes for a new self but...
I've got the rest of the week off as sick-leave and next week anual leave.
Just trying to build myself up. I've gone from being able to just toddle up to the end of the road and back to going once around the block.
Feels like I've had the stuffing knocked out of me, but I'm pleased to say the worst is over.
Had a bit of a shock yesterday, Derek ( him downstairs ) knocked on the door and thrust a bunch of flowers at me saying " I hope you feel better soon "
Happily he kept his distance ( contagion can often be a blessing in disguise ) and I remembered my manners and said thank you, damned if I could think of anything else to say.
So, best I stop wasting time and catch up on my journal reading :)

It's been quite a while since I had any kind of psychic/supernatural experiences, but I had one in the early hours of this morning.
I've not been sleeping for a while and was in some pain, I had been in prayer asking for healing on and off for a couple of days.
I have a table in my front room, has a couple of plants, ornaments and two coloured stones on it.
Now the stones were given to me by my friend Mary quite a while ago, she gave one to me and one to my friend Jean. Now, Jean never did take hers home with her so I kind of adopted it.
Both stones are aprox 2" from the edge of the table.
So, at about 2.00 am my eyes could'nt take looking at a screen any more so I got up to put things away.
While my back was to the table I heard a thump. I turned and one of the stones was on the floor a good foot or so from the table.

I can't help but wonder why sign language is used on the tv at 4.ooam.
Does deafness go hand in hand with insomnia ?
Finally managed to register with Sainsburys yesterday, so my shopping will be delivered later today. Phil has gotten me one or two things but I think a weeks shop would freak him out :)
Called the Dr yesterday to ask if Phil could collect a sick-note on Monday. After reading some journals and talking to some people here I'm so grateful for the National Health Service.
The duty Dr called me back she was very kind. I told her my friend Mary wanted to come and see me on Sunday and that she had had chicken pox and would that be okay.
She said it should be. I'm not sure that should be is good enough, I would hate it if Mary caught this.
I called my dear friend Jean yesterday, had'nt talked to her for a while and as usual her life is chaotic and full of drama.
Her son took an overdose a few days ago, happily he survivied but I think the reality that he has been so stupid for so long that his future looks so bleak has finally hit home.
Easily led, that's him, Sheldon, been the same way since a small child. Such a handsome boy with a kind heart.
His sister is'nt doing any better, looks like jean may end up caring for yet another grandchild.
My friend Jean has a big heart, just as well, she has alot of hurt to contend with.
On the good news front, my friend Janice who I usually only get to talk/see every few months has been in contact, offered to help with shopping etc but the real news is she has a hot date tonight.
I'm more excited than she is. Told her I expect a full report Sunday morning :)
Managed to get halfway round the block yesterday before I had to turn round and come home. It was a beautiful day, cool and breezy and short as it was it really lifted my spirits.
So, I'll read a few journals, have a bath and see what today brings.

Before you start huffing and puffing and getting all angry at me, maybe bombing my sad profile with an epic fail 1, or heaven forbid an entry in your journal about me, I would just like to say I'm not quite myself today, could'nt help it, I tried hard, really I did, but....

The good Lord has turned off Summer for the day.
Much cooler, now if I can persuade him to leave it off for the rest of the week...
Made the mistake of reading the information leaflet on the pills the quack gave me. In the higher dose used for people with actual depression there is a dire warning that in the first two weeks they may feel suicidal.
In the lower dose which I have, which the doc said would help with the pain ( I'm not really in pain ) it is used to help children with bed-wetting.
All in all, I think I'll give them a miss.
It's a good job I'm not that sensitive where Phil is concerned. He called me last night to ask if I thought I'd be well enough to look after pesky dog on Sunday while he does a car boot sale.
It did'nt actually click till I put the phone down, the ******* did'nt even ask how I was :)
On the bright side it's pretty peaceful, whole day to myself, loverly jubbly.

Well I guess I wished it upon myself :)
Long story short : Dry skin sorted, then a rash which I honestly thought was either my usual prickly heat which I have'nt had this year or a normal allergy/heat rash turns out to actually be shingles.
So, I'm armed with anti-depressants ( used to ease the pain ) and well stocked with all sorts of cream and general pain killers.
Looks like I'll be off work for at least two weeks, can't say that I'm ever so sad about that :)
Called Mad-dog to tell her and she's going to get in touch with the infection control people to find out exactly what the protocol is. I'm guessing it's more than two weeks.
I'm not in pain as such, bit uncomfortable, quite happy to sit it out....as long as it takes :)

Dangnabbit, chances that I'm actually contagious are fading, looks like it's a bad case of really dry skin.
Meh > I was so wanting to ring a bell.
However I have now fallen in lurve with a long handled sponge, yep I'm putting that E45 stuff on three times a day....ohhh the relief.
I just have to say one more time...I hate the Summer.

I'm have trouble with itching.
TMI ?
Well if I don't write it here who do I share it with ?
Got so bad yesterday and today I had to tie a sponge to a wooden spoon to get some cooling anti itching stuff on.
The itch is not in one of those "personal" places, it's my back, just where I can't reach. No, rash to be seen but dear nurse Vicky has just given me a dire warning: "Keep a close eye on it, it may be shingles".
Always nice to have something to look forward too :)
