It has been raining all day and I went out in it. It is really a blessed relief from the hot and humid weather.
I give in and send my sister some money this morning, just a few quid. So aware of how difficult it all is with nothing.
I ring for a dental appointment as my crowns and a couple of teeth are becoming loose and I know what is to come. Apparently a third of all people 60and over hve dentures and I am going to have to save for the expensive implants now, gone past the point really of where I know I have to do this but have dreaded it for a long time.
Pete comes round to spend the afternoon and will pop round tomorrow night for dinner.
I get the job, not the one I want which will take more time, but I really feel I have no option but to do so. I am relieved. It means no benefits and work till mid November. It is great and there is life for folks over 60… I sign the forms to say I am not bankrupt and all too aware that it is a matter of time.
But today has been a good day.
