    Everything happens in threes.

    Last night two teenagers died on the train track near here.

    Today the headmistress of the local school died suddenly, just a few weeks before she was due to retire.

    :(

    Terribly sad silvercar.


    I'm thinking. Might have to give up driving for a while. At least to all but the nearest towns.

    Last two days have been very hard. I went up a dose today. I guess its taken a while to hit my sunsystem and there will be a period of adjustment while I get used to it. I don't care for my adjustment to result in a lapse of concentration while I drive costing someone else their life.

    I'm meant to meet non resident parent tomorrow but I think I'll ask of we can just have a cuppa at my house instead, maybe ask them to take me out to get the dog food I need, otherwise I can ask resident parent to do that. Thirsday its hairdressers...Friday is a pita to rearrange, but better than killing someone. I still feel fine, happy, just very, very dull of wit and behind the conversation and tired. I'm sure its adjustment so I'm not concerned.

    It's worse because of the weather. I know it sounds crazy, buit the air pressure sits very heavily on my head. I might feel better when it breaks properly.


    Edit...sun system? I'm prone to narcissism but I recognise I'm not my own sunsystem!!

    Although having heard all about what comes out of your back side may be you think the sun also shines out of there?!

    I hope the adjustment is quick and painless, you are such a positive person, an example to all of us.

    Pfft, you don 't have to live with me;). I am not negative about this in the least, but the process in nonethe less not 'desirable' nor particularly positive. Have barked at resident parent twice today. Once when parent offered o do the geese for me this evening ( I can bloody well do it..) and just recently when asked if I'm ok.

    You are right, I take it all back, stop whining, they are only concerned and trying to help ;)

    I know, that's the problem. I feel a bit suffocated. It's not by any means horrific, its not painful. It's just taking pills and getting used to a slightly different feeling and I need time and space to get used to it. I hate feeling watched. It feels particularly ironic my parent being so concerned and makes me amused/cross because it raises all sorts of questions of 'where were you when....'.

    It's difficult Michaels, because my parents are really good people, but they are not parents in the traditional way, so trying now is a bit cloying for me and a bit forced for them. And actually, I'm busy taking care of me now, and resent having to !!!!! foot around their guilt or whatever it is!
