Right, about time for an update I think! I’ll tackle these in the same order as the my post of the 5th August

Medical – Loose ends mostly tied up now. We have a hand over meeting scheduled for the 20th, Wednesday, but I’m really not happy about it as it’s now the first week of Cannington not the second. We’re going to see if they still feel it’s necessary after so long, and if so if anything can be done about it. Doesn’t look great now it’s so close but we’ll see…

Stair Climber – Fab! What more can I say? It’s so wonderful. I’ve spent a few nights up there, the first night was really odd and I didn’t much like it but after that it’s been fun to sleep upstairs again! Not as comfortable though, cos I don’t have my electric bed. The clearing has been emotional and traumatic but satisfying, enjoyable in a way and amazing what turns up!
I’ve got 6 bags of clothes which are on their way to charity shop, filled the recycling box two or three times with papers and other recyclable objects, less than a bag of stuff for the bin and I’ve currently got boxes all over the floor of my room – I’ll get a couple of pictures when I’m finished! It’s almost all done now, some of the boxes need repacking but there isn’t much unsorted stuff left in the cupboards. The actual clearing is wearing a bit thin now, can’t wait to be done! I’m looking for a good car boot sale now 😉

Extension – No news, STILL waiting for building regs.

Assessment – It’s happening TOMORROW!

Neopets TCGs – The boxes Suzie brought back from America arrived on the 16th August, no problems! The ones I was expecting from Australia arrived on 1st September, and I only had to pay £22.16 in customs, which was a big relief! I also sort of bought some more, from England 😳
I opened some of them for myself, but now I have 504 booster packs (14 boxes…) of cards to try and sell. When (got to be optimistic!) I sell them though, I’ll have got the money back for all the cards that I’ve kept, and it’s not a cheap hobby! I should even turn a small profit, but all I wanted was to break even.

So now I’m almost ready to put everything behind me and move on. The only cloud is Ducky’s rabbit died on Tuesday, even though I never met Peanut somehow I felt very close to her, and her death has really upset me. I’ve never felt quite like this about someone else’s animal before.

So I just feel strange at the moment. I’m happy because my life is almost sorted (er…possibly), I’m overjoyed, excited and nervous about my assessment tomorrow and I’m upset because of Peanut. It’s weird to feel so happy and so sad at the same time.
