Nurse!

Urgh. E2S is unwell....

Right now I have a very sore throat which promises to get worse overnight, bunged up and headachey. I am self-treating with a four pack of Becks beer.

Last night I was at my voluntary work until 6 this morning, and very busy indeed. I was on shift with a very good friend, and we were hoping to catch up with how our lives were doing.....no such luck. At five past three we started talking, but that lasted only 2 minutes, and we never had another chance. The Sunday night shift is always busy with people really in need of help, so there's a real feeling of satisfaction and job well done. Didn't help me and my mate talk through our own problems though!

So today I had a snooze then started on the monthly stats for my voluntary group. Accompanied by BBC Radio Norfolk. A few years ago I would not dream of listening to the local beeb, guess I'm getting old. Today Wally Webb described my contribution to his "tide in tide out" prize fund - a butt bucket (portable ashtray and dog end store thing), and I added a little to the morning show's debate on the Alonso/Hamilton squabble. Beeb Norfolk is as interactive as KLFM or Fen Radio, which is a nice feeling, it's warming to hear your own opinion or remarks on air.

Had another snooze in the afternoon.

The Woolpackers

I just want to mention my mates from The Woolie. They are complete stars. I haven't been there for weeks and weeks. Last Friday Old Bob phoned me to tell me to get my ass back down there, as people missed me and they wanted my opinions on the routine stuff in life (like Napoleon's wallpaper). Then on Saturday I got a call from Barney The Builder, saying that people missed me, we love you you idiot, and come back soon.

To be honest I don't deserve mates like that, but I am ******* glad I have them. I'm not sure if I can face the Woolie right now, but I think it may be OK if I did go back. It's a people thing. I am happy on my own right now, and I have had a pint in a few town centre pubs, alone. Very wary about groups of people, scared actually, but I hope I can go to The Woolie some time this week.

So. Not a bad day overall. Still feeling down and hopeless, but maybe a little less after hearing from me mates. Big cold coming I think, so I ought to get the Night Nurse in.

Any nurses out there want to look after me in the night? Didn't think so.
