The Importance of Being Idle

Two In A Row!

This morning I went back to the doctors for my blood tests. I don't think that I've ever had blood drawn before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was all simple and painless. The only thing that was odd was the feeling of having the needle moving about in my arm, and that was so slight it was only noticeable if I thought about it, so I didn't!
Ronnie took me to the surgery this morning, but I had to walk back as today was the day we finally had our new back door fitted! The old one was a nsaty rotting wooden thing that would've fallen apart in a stiff breeze, and the new one is a lovely modern secure door of marvels! We'd been campaigning to have it replaced pretty much as soon as we moved in, so it's nice to finally have it done. Oddly it makes our kitchen look bigger, but that might be because of all the extra light that gets in now.
It only took a couple of hours for the new door to be installed, so this afternoon we broke into our piggy banks (literally! We've no money!) and assembled the princely sum of £20 in coppers and went on a little shopping spree. Admittedly we mainly bought food, but it was still nice for me to get out of the house for a bit, and I didn't notice too many people crossing the road to avoid me either!
Getting back to work on Monday isn't looking promising; I still feel wobbly as hell and am easily confused or overwhelmed (especially by background noise, I can't seem to sort what I want to listen to from everything else with any degree of effectiveness), so I don't rate my chances of being able to do my job highly. Still, there's another two days to go, and we can always hope for a miracle, can't we?
