in the moderate Aristotelian city

I'm finally signed off from work for a month, which means I can claim Employment and Support Allowance. (I really must finish filling in the form, and print it, so I can post it tomorrow.)

I've got a diabetic check-up coming up next week, a urine test which I should get the results of then, and the doctor took the opportunity to take my blood pressure (high for the first time ever) and stick a needle in my arm (so at least I'm protected against flu now).

I also need to get a blood test on October 24th to see if my liver has recovered after a month off statins.

I reckon this gives me a month to fill in my Disability Living Allowance form and more generally get enough rest. Maybe I'll be able to also get some code done - I'd like to take part in the upcoming iteration for Growstuff, and contribute a patch or two for Dreamwidth, too.

Perhaps I'll even feel up to going to the Stitch and Bitch next week (a girl can hope). I am making quite a lot of progress on my First Ever Jumper.

I had a really bad morning. Made it to work, but ~50mins late, and trying REALLY HARD not to cry. (I'm a bit calmer now and getting some actual work done now and then - so things could be worse.)

I have a question to answer at work which requires me to do PLANNING ARGH.

I have managed to do some financial sorting out so know I have a firm figure for my credit card debt which should (assuming I manage to keep up with payments etc) only be going down for the next few months.

And I have about a month's worth of meds so that will help with stability (I ran out, it was a thing; it's a repeated thing, sadly).

I'm really, really sick of being so ill by this point. And I really want to figure out how to manage my health crap so that I can actually live a life.

Blargh.
