The 22nd & 23rd; The discomfort has abated.

The 22nd of November.  I think all of the discomfort has abated now. Still not going back to the gym though as I'm still bleeding more than I would like. 

I got a blog post done this morning before we had to go out. I was at the chiro having my back crunched, and thankfully there was not too much work to be done, just a very stiff neck. On the way home, we went to Tesco for stuff for baking (there's some kind of Christmas fair at Grandma's church on Thursday), then home for lunch. 

This afternoon, I spoke to the potential adopter I couldn't get hold of yesterday, and gave her the details of the black and white adult cat who's being advertised on the Cats Protection website. I'm waiting to hear back from the couple who came to see Archie last night - they loved him, but they loved the other two as well, so now I think they're having trouble deciding. I hope they choose Archie, or I'll feel so sad for him. 

I spent the rest of my time crocheting. A request was put in for a couple of hats for the aforementioned jamboree, so I knocked up two, for a toddler and a child. 

Really early start tomorrow. QE at 9. Yay. 

The 23rd of November. 

Awake at 5.45 today. I was wanted at clinic as early as possible because my cortisol levels were being checked. However, that did mean I could actually choose where to sit because the waiting room hadn't filled up yet! Then I'd barely read any of my book when I got called in by Charlie Craddock. It was actually really good to see him instead of Ram because when I complained about the lack of pain team appointment, he said he would chase them for me, and he has slightly more clout than Ram. He then proceeded to dictate his letters (to my other consultants and the pain team respectively) while I was still sitting there which I always find super awkward but it's good to know his chasing will definitely be done. Plus he was very complimentary about my Anthony Nolan work.

I had a big order for pharmacy, so while they were doing that, we popped up to TCT to see if they were interested in having a load of my books, which they were, so it was a good thing we'd brought them with us!

Before going home, we went into town so I could get a graph paper notebook (Moleskine appear to be the only place to stock them). Then this afternoon, I have been ringing more potential cat adopters, crocheting my Christmas scarf (it's nearly there) and icing cakes for the church Christmas thing. 

Another early morning tomorrow but going to be worth it - Winter Food Show!
