I woke yesterday feeling hungover. This was strange since I'd not had a drink for at least a month so I put it down to general tiredness from 2 of the most appalling weeks at work it had ever been my misfortune to suffer. On top of this the weather was very wet, windy and rainy when I woke up. It quickly changed throughout the day, then changed again and again and again. From rain to sun and back and forth until not a single creature wasn't feeling some tinge of confusion.
That confusion was compounded for me during dinner last night. JJ and I were sat eating our gammon and mash when all of a sudden there was a mighty knock on the door. I got up to go and see who it was and to my surprise it was our friend Dennis with a very bewildered looking taxi driver! Dennis is both deaf and blind and apparently, two weeks ago, we had arranged for him to come over that evening. The usual arrangement when this happens is JJ goes down to meet him from the taxi and then one of the support workers from where he lives meets him at the other end on his return. This time however we had no idea he was coming.
On top of this we'd made plans for some other friends of ours to come round. Fortunately they both know Dennis (one of them works with him too) so it wasn't the end of the world, just a bit odd. Once the shock had worn off it was a very nice evening involving ginger cake, ginger wine and plenty of cups of tea.
Today is brighter...
The sun is shining, the sky is blue. I don't feel quite so tired and it is the last day on my 'Job from hell' as the woman I'm covering for is back next week and normality can resume. Tomorrow is Saturday and still, at this precise moment in time no firm plans are made so I'm penciling in a lie-in with a cup of tea followed by a mystery tour somewhere weather permitting.
And with that I must away as I should have been getting ready for work for the last half hour and instead I've been blogging.
Have a super day everyone!
