The right place, the right time, the wrong people

Well it looks like my girlfriend has found a friend to temporarily rent a room whilst I’m away. She’s not looking forward to being alone for six months so when this person mentioned that they were desperate for a place to stay after Christmas well, this is one inn-keeper who had a room available. Not that this friend is Mary Christ, but it is the season of charity and good will. They came by yesterday to check the room out and seemed pretty happy with it… so we shall see.

I’ve been having ups and downs with my reduction in medication. Fingers crossed I’m slowly but surely levelling out. My girlfriend is going through the same thing and she’s been having a rough time too. I’m glad we both understand each other.

My CRB check for college still hasn’t come through yet. If it’s not done by the 20th then my place on the course will be delayed. I’m not sure how I’ll feel about it. I’m sort of hoping it’ll be delayed till September so that I begin the year with the regular intake. It’ll be hard to fit in when/if I start in January. Sigh.

Yesterday we went for Christmas drinks at a friend’s house. She has lots of acquaintances in the medical profession so there were lots of loud posh people there fighting to speak. We started feeling awkward and slightly out of place so left early. I’m don’t feel guilty about it, I really was about to tell some people to shut up, lol.

I did some last minute present shopping yesterday. I think my girlfriend will be pleased with what I’ve got her. I’ve probably spent about £200, so if she isn’t, oh well, at least I know I’ve tried.

We’re going to a carol concert tonight and then a regular music gig in town. I’m not really in the mood for either and could do with them being cancelled. What with my medication reduction and all I’m just not in a socialising sorta place right now.

I’ve watched that new Star Trek film on dvd a couple of times now (after seeing it first in the cinema) and I’m really starting to like it more and more. It is a bit cheesy, but on repeated viewings you do get over it and just enjoy the fun and novel filmmaking employed by J J Abrams.

I’ll report back on tonight’s events. Gawd I hope we don’t end up going.
