Turns out I caught a cold. Saturday morning when I woke up I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. So no fancy lunch for us. Horatio was very kind though and persuaded Domino’s to go a little out of their remit and deliver to us! We watched many films, ate yummy foods, played fun games and snuggled. Sunday I managed to make my way home on my own. Weasel met me at the rail station and we got a taxi home. It really was a successful visit bar me being ill.

That’s where I’ve been all week, feeling like crap. I have mostly been coughing a painful amount [abs are strained and head pounding with each blow]. I started to feel better on Thursday thankfully so I didn’t feel too worried about my pre-admission appointment yesterday or going forward with my operation on Tuesday. Going to get there at 6:50am in an effort to be seen first. Then I hope to get out on the same day again.

Unfortunately, Horatio came down with same yick on Monday and Weasel is still battling it. We’ve been very pathetic. Happily, it seems that my ability to feel sympathy for people I know and love is still in tact. Strangers shouldn’t care what I think about them anyway so we’re good.

On Tuesday I went to re-fill my pill box for the week and I realised I had lost count of my antidepressants. Weasel and I were too ill to do anything so I ended up calling the doctor to get the prescription then calling Mal and asking her to collect it for me. She took it home and gave it to Stoat who came over the next day and he and Weasel were able to get it filled. I am very grateful to have people who can help me.

I got a letter this week saying my redundancy payment had been processed and the money would be an our account within four days. The letter was dated the 15th and it was the 18th so we checked and sure enough we had monies! We ordered our rower! I’m very excited about it. The rest of the money will go towards new clothes for me. I think I’ll make the appointment with the personal shopper week after next.

Eleanor’s Dad passed away on Monday which was very sad. She went ahead with the wedding today anyway and it was wonderful. They tricked us though, it was a church service as well as the wedding. Weasel and I sat on the back row so we could duck out if we started coughing too much. This worked out well because I couldn’t stop mocking the hymns and readings. I am awful. One hymn said to dispel our evil and Weasel and I mimed the words and she gave her evil to me! I was aghast and I mimed giving it back and she tossed it on the floor. I told her to stomp on it.

There were a lot of jokes about Jesus cumming. Every time ‘spirit’ came up I’d whisper ‘spigot’ and we’d giggle. I must stress that we were on the back row being very quiet – all our giggles were silent. We’re naughty, but we still respect others and their beliefs.

Weasel decided to take communion while we were there, I just had a blessing. I didn’t know what the proper method was so I hope I didn’t make some unfortunate faux pas. I’ll take any blessings I can get, I’m not proud.

Eleanor had the most amazing dress, so stunning. I’ll post some photos once I get them off the camera. I got to see Alex and his girlfriend – I haven’t seen him in nearly a year. My last day of work was 1st October. Was wonderful to catch up. Also chatting loads with Robin and her husband. It was a lot of fun and so beautiful.

Weasel and I are now collapsed for the rest of the day.

P.S. I went to notify the Cunning Linguists of this Debbie and Dada Mail died a death. I don’t know why and I don’t have the inclination to find the problem and fix it. So from now on there will not be any mailing list. Suggest strongly that you learn how to use RSS and subscribe to periwinkleblue – I recommend Google Reader.
