How much?!?

Yes, I've been spending more money today. This really is going to have to stop... but it is really good fun!

Today was a necessity. As I expected, I need new glasses. I've gone from perfect vision to wearing reading specs, to now needing "general" specs. All within the last 18 months. My optician says I should really be having an eye test every year, because of the medication I'm on (Tamoxifen). Apparently it can affect your eyes. Great!

But, I have got a really funky pair of sunglasses on order now. Every cloud...

Today I found my get up and go again too. Thank goodness for that!! Luckily this meant I had a relatively cheap afternoon, I didn't open my purse again once. I thought I'd better make good use of this time off and did a bit of gardening. I am now covered in bits of privet bush, and smell of lavender - maybe I could start a new trend?

As if I don't have enough to cope with

The title of this post is dedicated to some very kind comments I have received on this blog from a stranger in cyber world. Comments that have really brightened up my day. Funny how a stranger who stumbles across my ramblings on here can feel empathy towards me (or should that be for me?), yet people who know me well can't allow me the same...

I am now officially called "sick note" by my best friend (no-one else would get away with that!) as my GP has signed me off for 2 weeks. Both he and I hope something will happen in that 2 weeks that may allow me to go back to work again. I don't know what this something will be - answers on a postcard please... However, I do know that at 2pm tomorrow I will be the hot topic of conversation in the HR department. Hmm, not too sure how that is making me feel to be honest. The bullies are still lying and I don't see how HR will change that but hey - what more have I got to lose?

So - how am I filling my time? I have never understood people who think they would be bored if they didn't go to work. To be honest, I feel like I have spent a week trying to catch up with myself. All this has been very draining, and I don't seem to be getting very good quality sleep just now. In fact I had a bizarre dream, well nightmare the other night in which I was running around, but getting nowhere. Seems even in my sleep I want to run away from it all!! Anyway, as always when the chips are down I have been spending money - too much money probably but hey, what the hell!!
