Yes the post was about strengthening resolve. If it helps to strengthen your resolve then it helps to strengthen mine too. My longest period of abstinence was 9 months and when I let it back in again, I went past the point of no return financially. It was dreadful in the same vein as a good friend of ours. So I have to be very mindful of the sleeping monster.
On the job front the agency helpfully keep me informed. Decision about who to interview Monday and it will be a phone interview if selected most likely when I am away where there is no access to phones. But will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Today I went to the post office to pick up my train tickets from the post office and drop my medical cert into the dole. I am very grateful to gma for supporting my travel. Thanks Amy. There is no help for us really in that my Gp was unable to find any suitable support without a long waiting list. So I will make a pledge here that if i ever get back on my feet I will support the charity. Where else is there to go for us but here? Still don’t want to go to GA.
The stomach problems are largely resolved although the bug is still there. Gp reluctant to give treatment as I reacted so badly to the last lot. The test for the colon will have to wait until I get back. The acute daily cramps have eased and have now not had them for around three days. I think because I expressed all the rage I felt at life and the universe, in those posts to Vera and alone in my bedroom at home all that helped clear the stomach pain. Pains in stomach related to deep suppressed anger. Mostly at having the carpet pulled from me a lot during this sojourn on the planet. I have put on all the weight I lost before Xmas. My jeans are a bit snug again and the boys money has helped on that front although three weeks later it has gone now.
Aside from that I am looking forward to rural Hereford although 8 have to get up at 4.30am on Monday.
