The 12th & 13th; It feels like nobody is trying.

The 12th of June. It's Daddy's birthday!

He had already gone to work by the time I got up, which was a good thing because I hadn't written his card yet. We're going to take him to the Pink Floyd exhibition in London for his present, so I didn't have to worry about that.

I had a phone call with Anthony Nolan this morning because they need examples of post-transplant care, so I was telling her how excellent mine has been. I know not everyone is so lucky. Then I had a chat with Nationwide because they had frozen my debit account for no apparent reason and hadn't told me. It turns out that I had used it at a cashpoint or on a website that has left me exposed to fraud so they've had to cancel it. Well, that's fine, but they could have sent me a letter? I'll get a new card,it's all fine.

This afternoon, Mommy and I went into town to take back all the kimonos I didn't need. I also needed to get some facewipes, then we went into Selfridges to get Daddy some token bits - essentially fudge. I also bought myself some espresso chocolate spread so I'm very much looking forward to my toast in the morning.

Once home, I finished crocheting the bear, so he can go in the post this week!

The 13th of June.

I am annoyed and sad. Finally managed to speak to Tracey (the booking coordinator) and she hasn't even had the paperwork yet. I have haematology clinic tomorrow so we'll get them to chase Andrew. It's all well and good for him to say "Yes we need to do another venoplasty" but if he doesn't send the paperwork for three weeks I'm going to have to wait even longer for this nightmare to be over. It has been six months and it should not be this hard.

My alarm didn't go off this morning so I didn't wake up until quarter past ten. Thankfully I didn't have anything that needed doing, but I still don't like waking up that late. I got to have my coffee spread on toast for breakfast though, so there was that.

Since talking to Tracey early this afternoon, the heavy cloud has descended. I don't think it'll be a long-term storm, but it's here all the same. I've just sat crocheting, listening to podcasts, trying not to think about it. I'm just so tired and it feels like nobody is trying.
