Today is my day off work. Always a good thing...So, I didn't wake up until 8:45 this morning, which was just fab!
 
If you could all pray for Maria, that'd be great - she's flying to Indonesia today - she's a bit nervous...She's going to be there for just over 2 months working with a religious community there. I'm going to miss her loads...
 
I saw my social worker today too. She lent me a knife with a guard, so that I don't cut myself when I'm chopping things - Ella can borrow it too, if it'd help! I also have a signature guide, so that I can find where I have to sign on a receipt when I pay with my Switch card, & I have a white cane, so that when I'm out and about, I can use it if I need to. At the moment, I can't use it cos of the crutches, but it's in my bag anyway, as I'm trying to get used to the idea of having it.
 
I have also been summoned for jury service, which I'm not all that thrilled about. It's also very frustrating that my grandmother only posted my jury service letter to me yesterday, & I got it today, but my other post - which probably included a long awaited hospital appointment - that she posted last week, is still floating around somewhere between Southam and here...So, now I have to find my hospital's phone number, phone them, speak to about 6 different people to try to find out when my appointment is, probably to be told that I've missed it already. The joy.
 
There's a very big fly buzzing around. I can see it's legs & wings and everything. Usually, I can just see a black blob, but this one I can see in some detail. I've decided that just seeing a black blob where there's a fly is no great loss. After seeing this one, flies strike me as very ugly creatures.
