Out of Sorts

Written by Sophie on Thursday, September 28, 2006

I’m feeling out of sorts today. I know that I shouldn’t. I’m doing what most people can only dream about. I get to spend the whole day in a wheelchair. I just got a new pair of pants (my other 3 pairs have holes in strategic places), today is payday, I’m getting on top of all my bills again, so why do I feel like I’m missing something?

Socialising with others only puts the feeling on the back burner until I’m on my own again. I guess it’s partly due to depression, but it can’t be the whole problem can it?

Mum is busy organising my 21st, deciding what family members should be invited etc. We’ve gone back to being politely nice to each other; I’m just waiting for the camels back to break again. I’ve found the little piece of paper with the councillor’s phone number on it so I’m going to ring that and get therapy started, if this person seems ok.

Work is ok, we’re training at the moment and I’m at an average of 99% for my skill checks. Our trainer has been off her arthritis meds for a week or so because of her “useless doctor” and she loved telling me about it for some strange reason. It seems I won’t just be learning about one new thing this time round, halfway through my contract I’ll be going back into training to learn another skill, hopefully that will spear me ahead into a permanent job…after all they wouldn’t have to train me if they hired me…

BTW my wrist is a little sore today, I must have slept on it wrong or something, it’ll be ok (no I’m not going to “chop it off” Sean!).
