Ill Ill Ill Ill Again……..

Yes, ill again…I am now up to Stage 2 Sickness Disciplinary at work as well. Not only do I feel like death, but I might lose my job too. Yippee. Shouldn’t even be here today really, but what choice do I have? Managed to spend the last 6 days in bed with a lovely kidney infection, deep joy. Thought it was a migraine, but no… spent from Tuesday night to Saturday in bed, then Saturday to Monday doing an Elizabeth Barret Browning on the sofa (we don’t have a chaise-longue).

(If only I looked this good whilst snoozing on the sofa…..)

 

Well folks, I’m still here. Still trying to write a novel, for what it’s worth. But it’s really hard when you have nothing but a part-time completely knackered muse……

Life never gets any quieter though, does it. The last few weeks since the adventure haven’t got any quieter though, life is constantly manic it seems. Hurrah though now have return of the Affidavit of Deemed Service, seems the judge also believes my husband did receive the demand, so yesterday signed yet another affidavit and at last a real petition for divorce, and whizzed it off to London….just have to wait now! Might actually have a divorce as my 40th birthday present, not before time!

Waking up in the cold grey light of a February morning in Birmingham. Grabbed breakfast and off we went to Morecambe. Crawled back in at about 11am, then I went off to AD’s to pick up M______, the cause of this pilgrimage. Don’t you just love children. ‘Hello Mummy’ it says ‘I’m happy you’re back but I don’t want to go home now as I’m playing with Boogyboo and we’re making wands’. Great. I have missed the little…darling, and all she wants is for me to go away!
