Hey UKB --- what actually showed up in the screening? Hope the doc is an enlightened one --- they do vary so much!!

Morning Jacks!!!

It wasn't a physical test, just a questionaiire, like what you sometimes get for work - asking have you ever had mental illness or anything that's affected your work/education. I answered honestly with explaination so they called me in. Turns out they just want to make sure you are ok, and see if you need any extra support. Still felt like I was on the spot.

I had to fill in a questionnaire like that for the child mentoring. Just asked if I'd ever had any issues with drugs or alcohol. It also asked how it was resolved.

I put alcohol and was resolved with talking therapies. Seemed to keep the powers that be happy as I got the placement.

I took yesterday off too inchy - don't think it's a good idea to try to run every day in the early stages.

I think this is another situation where you need to make your own luck, inchy. Relying on luck alone (i.e. hoping) isn't likely to work.

Good luck with meeting your opposite number molly, I'm sure you'll be ok. The situation is what it is, can't see why she would start having a go at you. Hope she won't anyway!

Afternoon now.

yes running is best done every other day, building up slowly oh and make sure you are reasonable trainers. Don't have to spend stupid amounts on them, I get last years colours at discount.

I had a medical interview yesterday. It's for entry to uni, they picked up on my alchyness from my health screening form so pulled me in. Went throught TSM with the Doc which I'd been worried about. She was going to do some looking up later. Was v tired afterwards.

tests are to do with meds i'm on, they test my liver and bone marrow function (white cell count, mean cell volumes, hemoglobin etc) once a month, plus they're testing me for b vitamin deficiency and anemia - my tests have been tracking the wrong way.

just decided to look up what a mean cell volume actually is, got my first confirmation that a high mcv is strongly associated with alcoholism so... definitely gonna try n behave until my test at least. if this helps i'll be off al until i come off my meds (which could be up to 4 years)

thanks to everyone for support today, day 4 has been mean to me before, but that little bit of googling is a great incentive to stick to my plans.

Re: running will probably take another day off today, it's hot so I shall swim instead

Thanks for all the congrats :l:l:l. Mrs. T and I both became a bit teary-eyed when I reminded her what day today is. Had a bit of a review of the then and now scenarios. Good to do that sometimes.

Marnin/arvo!

A hearty congratulations to the Tippmeister... just awesome!

Mollers... things must be bad between them right enough if you've been summonsed for a talk. Let us know how it goes. You're funny though... like a wee kid that's used to getting in trouble! :H :l

:wavin: @ a'body else!

I woke up with a sore throat today and really hoping it will ease off and not become an "issue". Still haven't been to the gym so need to get my arse in gear a la Saint Reccy!

It's a dull, overcast, yucky kind of day. I just cleared up the last of the tree trimmers' feckin mess wot THEY should have cleared up. They trashed several of my neighbour's back gardens... feckin disgrace! Anyhoo... 'tis over for another year.

I'm going to karaoke tonight (yes, you heard right!). I'll be very surprised if I sing as historically I've had to be trolleyed... but stranger things have happened at sea! ;o) Last night I went to a 60s bash on a girl's night out with the neighbourhood wimmin... brill music and lots of dancing, had a really good time. One of them is 70 and boy can she cut some moves on the dance floor! She looks late-50s/60ish and I want to be just.like.her when I'm that age.

I just checked the weather for Saturday and it says isolated feckin thunderstorms. I might go and buy one of them canopy yokes for the deck. Been wanting one of them and it looks like now might be the time. I can get one cheap at Big Lots.

It's a busy week, this week. It's either feast or famine... I'll go weeks without doing anything sometimes.

Hiya zenny! Sounds as if a fair few folks are not over happy with the tree trimmers - couldn't the HOA get someone else to do the job next year?

Sorry about the sore throat - the thought occured that karaoke singing might not do it any favours. Mind you, a sore throat might not do yer singing any favours either! :H

And hurry up and get yer arse down to the gym!
