“Daddy! The Flowers Are Droopy!”

My life is rather uneventful, I’d say. I needed to get away from everything this weekend, this house, the people in it, my friends, and the computer! So I asked a friend if I could escape to his again this weekend, and he said that was ok. That’s the main event of the week I guess.

I took last Thursday off work because I had a monster of a headache, which started on Wednesday night. I woke up feeling like my head was going to explode so I text my boss and said I was having difficulty, felt light headed and dizzy too. I phoned the doctor to ask for a change of painkillers, and he said he’d leave a prescription at the front desk for me. I went up on my lunch and noticed I had been prescribed a drug which I have said three times not only doesn’t help my headaches, it in fact makes them worse. So I left it there to get changed after a few “wise words” from the receptionist. She asked if I had tried co-codamol for them. Of course I have you bint, not even opioids are working, not sure where she got her medical training from, and that was followed by “I’m not sure what else the Doctor could prescribe you”. Well, duh. But I can assure you, lady, that there’s far more than 4 painkillers available. You’d think someone would know that working in a surgery. I went back after work and got a new painkiller, and a preventative to switch to, if my current ones continue to fail. Took a painkiller Friday evening and it got rid of that headache. I’m just left with the head pain I always have. :(

Friday night I went to my friends, and he has the cutest kid ever. As soon as he came in he noticed that the flowers had died, (bought the previous weekend) and pointed it out to me. And then ran out to his dad to tell him. So it was concluded that they’d get some more. Spent the night talking and playing with the kid and went to bed about midnight or so. Woke up earlyish for me and then we went and had a McDonalds breakfast, and took his kid through the car wash for the first time. I’m now a little climbing frame and he’ll play with me and stuff. He wasn’t so sure of me the first time I met him. Went round town and just bought the kid some toys, had some lunch and then went home. They were both tired, bless. They took a nap for a couple of hours and he just left me to my own devices. Went to Tesco and got some more flowers! Ate dinner and such. Was a very nice time. I liked getting out of the house for bit. Came home to an empty one, which was nice too. I was not in the mood for facing my housemates. I have to kind of psyche myself up now. That’s probably a bad thing. Oh, and for some reason people think there’s something going on between me and this guy. Amusing.

Went to my parents yesterday for my usual Sunday meal. Tried to lock my car and couldn’t. The central locking seems to have decided to fail. Every time I try and lock it, it unlocks itself. Came home and my housemate helped me, he pulled the fuses out for the central locking, but that means no electric windows. I need the windows to get into my work car park! Hoping to either get it fixed now, or I’m going to have to take it to a garage. In between times, gonna have to open the door to stick my sensor card over the barrier at work. Bit annoying, but better to have a car that locks than one that doesn’t.  I wouldn’t trust leaving it anywhere except a garage unlocked. Even then I’d be dubious.

My love life is moving nowhere, and for that I am quite thankful. They’ll only see me as second best. So better to not even be in anyone’s view.
