thereyougothenit was knitting tonight, I'm sure i have things to report, but they are all gone now. i came home and ate popcorn. popcorn must empty the brain.
it was lucky i left when i did, the number 2 bus was there within 30 seconds of me arriving at the stop. tonight it was 4 minutes early, last week it had been 3. shouldn't be cutting it so fine.
next week it won't be my problem, i'll be in hospital.
aaaaaargh.
the boss seems to appreciate me, so i've decided that i will go into work next monday. all i have to do otherwise is buy a sports bra, so i guess i can spare a few hours at work. i am writing user notes for how to do things i think are essential. today i finished checking that you have the right identity (everyone is City of Edinburgh Council) , and how to track revisions. i still have to do using headers and footers in word, and emailing links instead of documents. and i have 3 days or about 8 hours to do it in.
thomas asked about my surgery today, i had to explain that the doctors were gong to cut me. he is horrified, and doesn't want to see. nor do i. Bill says that Nicholas was talking about it tonight and doesn't want me to go into hospital because i am going to be hurt. i had tried to explain to them that the doctors are going to give me medicine to make sure that it doesn't hurt, but obviously they don't believe me. the thing is, they will see me in pain, and in more pain than they are used to seeing me, and they will have been proved right.
this time next week i will be in hospital. that's a pile of crap, really it is.

Will you drop me a quick email with your address on it (if you trust me, that is) so that I can send you something tiny?

just about anything would be easily worth if if it means being around to see my kids grow up. and i will be. so i just have to suck it up and go deal with it. next week.
i hope your mum is settling happily back in at home!

this time next week i will be in hospital. that's a pile of crap, really it is.
yes it is. all our best wishes.
