I just learned that a friend who I fell out of contact with killed herself a couple of weeks ago. I hope she’s at peace now.

Work is leaving me exhausted. At the end of each day I am so tired I can’t do anything, but collapse on the sofa or straight into bed. It hasn’t helped that I have started to reduce my pred. I’m making lots of mistakes at work, but I met the woman who started after me and she is making mistakes too, so I don’t feel quite so bad. I’m going to apply for a permanent, part time job at the library I’ve been working at the most. I’ve no idea if I’ve got any chance of getting the job. I figure that at least I wouldn’t need training and that I’m familiar with the library whereas most of the other applicants probably wouldn’t be. On the other hand, my boss knows about all my mistakes. She seems to like me, but maybe she’s just being nice.
This is the end of my first week reducing to 15/12.5 EOD of the pred. Today I woke to find a small cluster of blisters under my right breast. I will persist with the reduction unless things get much worse.
I’m getting quite a bit of exercise since I started work. I’m on my feet all day and I walk to and from the bus stop most days (about 1.5 miles). I have less opportunity to snack during the day, so I think I’m eating less than I was. Hopefully all this means that I’m losing weight … although I’ve yet to notice anything which would suggest this.
