Today is the day I do my shopping. We get our benefits paid every two weeks, on a Thursday. I do all the shopping then. I borrow my sisters car so I can get it all done in one go. I started early today. I had to go get gas and electric because we had all but run out of both. The gas went last night. So no heating at all. The electric was just about enough to check that the money had gone into the bank, and check my email. I hate being so restricted on what I can do. Anyway, I went and got the gas and electric, put them into the meter so Clive could be warm while I was out. Then I went shopping. I don't normally hit Tesco until around 10.30am, but this time I was there at 8.30am. It was WONDERFUL!!! Quiet, hardly anyone around. Parking spaces wherever I wanted to park. I see why Babs likes to shop at night now! Call me a convert!! I had all my shopping done by 11.00am, which was good, because my son had an appointment at the doctors at 12.20pm, and he wont go unless I go with him. He has PTSD, and cant cope with seeing people on his own. He just clams up and wont tell them anything. Anyway, the doc decided that they would treat his anxiety first. They tried to treat the PTSD but were getting nowhere. The doc is referring him to a specialist for the PTSD now. He's decided that he is getting nowhere, so it must be far deeper seated then he thought. Allan, my son, also has alopecia. In August last year, his hair just all fell out. He hates how he looks, but there is nothing they can do. The only treatment he could have is very expensive, and Allan doesn't have the money for it. This is my son.
Hopefully, they will find something to help him. He may be a pain in the butt sometimes, but no one deserves to be as messed up as he is.
Work on restoring my computer to its original mess is still ongoing. I cant find half the programmes I had on it before the big crash. And I lost all my serial numbers too. So I have programmes I cant use any more. Ones that I used to use quite a bit. That has got me really annoyed. But, cant be helped.
Feeling a little better today. Don't know if its because I didn't have all my normal hassle while shopping. Maybe that's what it is. I don't know. But I am going to enjoy it while I can.
