Well it has been quite a week all told and in many ways I am quite relieved now to have got it over with. I was though somewhat pleasantly surprised by the number of friendly birthday messages I received, so much thanks to everyone for that. My Facebook account does have a purpose after all! Heh, still this weekend I've been generally feeling rather out of sync with myself which I suppose is unsurprising after all the pointless anxieties and unnecessary stresses I've been indulging myself in over the past few days. Such things still remain however but hopefully I can now get back to getting on with things with some more reasonable sense of rythym and direction. At least until the tiny little thing for me to get foolishly worked up about comes along anyway!

So yes, it's back on with what passes for my life and efforts towards making it better. I still have pesky OU annoyances to work out. So now I'm reserved on the course that starts in February. Hm, yes well, I hope they'll be getting the forms out in reasonable time for this one! Grrs. I'm still a little confused though over what they said about forms in my last letter. I did the financial support forms thanks, I just want to sign up to the stupid course now please! Hopefully that's what they meant and I wont have to go through the whole tiresome process again. We'll see. It shouldn't be too much of a trauma in the end I hope, I can gain the months back at the start of the next year but it will mean my courses overlap a bit.

So besides that, and waiting on the results last week's assessment it's back on with doing stuff at the shop and the practicing of life skills. It's also back on with looking after kitty too though as parents have decided they are going to take their trip up to Lindisfarne (which they had earlier put off on account of the weather) today. Despite the forecast for large quantities of wet tomorrow they thought the rest of the week looked reasonable enough to risk it. So I shall be having a little trip to pet and feed the animal on Thursday. Meanwhile, what with all the expected rains, I'm not imagining being particularly busy in the shop tomorrow. Sometimes it chases more customers in but since this has been so well forecast I imagine people will have had time to alter their arrangements. Still I think a relatively quiet day will be a good thing methinks, getting slowly back into the flow of things, but either way it will just be good to get back to something a bit more settled and sensible.

So it's back on with furthering the story of my life though, whoever it is might be actually writing it really needs to work on the craft of narrative and plot! I mean, after all these various story threads, my medical assessment, Open University stuff, a birthday and so on, they really ought to bring all these together into a satisfying and enlightening conclusion else the reader will get disgruntled and may not bother themselves so much with following the next the chapter. Oh and cut out those bits where parents have to phone up only at those rare times when there actually is something worth watching on TV! It's what I'd do if I were writing it anyways and hopefully, one day, I may yet be. (or at least have a bit more say when it comes to the editing).
