Shiny things, whiny things

[j4]

Things I like:

• Phoning the bank and talking to clueful people, and actually getting stuff sorted out. Makes a nice change.


• Coca-Cola. Yeah it's evil stuff but for some reason it seems to settle my upset stomach.


• Email conversations with nice people with whom I was worrying that I was losing touch.


• Slightly cooler weather.


• My new shiny purple violin bow.


• eBay.


• Backwards 3-beat weave. Turning round to turn this into a forwards one. And vice versa.

Things I don't like:

• Expensive car parts.


• Unfixable old violin bows.


• Aching hand from playing violin for the first time in about 6 years.


• Persistently upset stomach, am just fed up with feeling ill all the time.


• Sleep deprivation. Could have really done with getting to bed before 2am.


• Job applications. Didn't get it finished.


• Checking my phone every 10 minutes only to find that I still haven't got a reply to my last two SMSs.


• Looking forward to something for days only to find (when I'm down to counting hours) that it's probably not going to happen & I'm going to have to wait another day.

Aloe Vera tablets are also supposed to help, so you could try those if you can't face the doctor's.

I might well try that -- thanks for the suggestion. I will probably end up going to the doctor eventually but I can't face it so soon after going for something else; I find if I go to the doctor for more than 2 different things within a short space of time I get less and less useful answers because they end up just basically saying "You're a neurotic bint, go away". Or "We think this is all stress-related, get less stressed."

Thank you for sympathy too. Much appreciated.
