Love this:
November 23, 2008
It’s almost Christmas! Yes, I am one of those people who starts getting ready for Christmas super early. I just love it. It’s the best time of the year … and not only because I get to shop without feeling (too) guilty. I’m trying to ‘buy handmade’ this year, at least more so than I have done in the past. I’m making the most of Etsy and its loveliness.
I’ve got a new job. I’ve not started it yet; I have to wait for my Disclosure to come through.
In the build up to my interview for the job I didn’t think I was stressed, but I must have been – my pemphie flared up the day after the interview and now I can’t get it under control. On top of the pain and discomfort of the pemphie, I have a persistent dry cough. I’ve had the cough for about two months and I just can’t shake it. I’ve been to see my GP who could find nothing wrong, but said it might possibly be a form of whooping cough (I don’t have the characteristic ‘whoop’ so I doubt it). He’s given me antibiotics, but they’re doing nothing. I’m feeling a bit crap. My health sucks at the moment.
I didn’t go to work today, because of the snow. I got up at my usual time of 6.30am and between then and 11am the road wasn’t ploughed once. I felt guilty phoning in to say I couldn’t make it in, but I felt relieved too. Work tires me, and Saturdays are especially bad. I do miss the pred-related highs.
