The nomad moves on, the adventure continues…

It looks like tonight might be my last night here in Newmarket. I shall check with my girlfriend when she calls next but, basically, dad’s agreed to drive me up to Sheffield tomorrow night after he’s finished work. He didn’t seem to have much to say about it other than to remind me to be packed and ready for when he gets home.

I’ve not been sure whether he’s been happy to have me over or not, he doesn’t usually say much about anything. I know he’s struggled to keep the house running since his girlfriend left and I’ve been worried that he’s only staying in this house because of me. Hopefully once I’ve gone he can move on. Who knows.

I’ll be worried about him alone in this big house by himself but he seems pretty settled with his new girlfriend and seems to enjoy going down to visit her in Essex. Maybe this situation will work better for him… a relationship at a distance.

I think I’ve finally warmed to this house, which is nice because until now I’ve mainly only had bad times here when I’ve stayed over due to depression. That’s good in a way, at least I’ll have happy memories if dad decides to pitch his tent elsewhere, somewhere smaller.

I think it takes about two hours or so to get up to Sheffield from here, but then again I’m not sure how quick it will be with the rush hour traffic. Maybe after six it will be ok.

My girlfriend will ring soon and I’ll make sure she’s cool with me coming up tomorrow. I hope this whole post hasn’t been for nothing.

I went to see the doctor today and I asked him for a letter supporting my case for council tax exemption for the house I’ve not lived in for a year and a half… and is going to be repossessed. He’s a good guy, it’s a shame I’ll have to change doctors again. He also prescribed me a higher dosage of anti-depressants because I’ve been worried that I’m acclimatising to the current dosage. I have had a lot of mood swings lately and have been slipping back into a morbid state of mind.

With any luck I can pack lightly tomorrow, I don’t think I’ve got much here apart from paperwork, a few clothes, me laptop and guitar. We shall see.

I wonder if it’ll be cooler up in Sheffield, lol.

PS
My girlfriend finally called and she said that it’s cool for me to come up tomorrow. She sounds very excited… so am I.
