Grand Expectations

OK I'VE PUT MY TWO BETS on tomorrow's Grand National. (14/1 and 16/1 at £1 each respectively.) I could do with the free money!!

In a minute I am going back to bed as I'm feeling done in already. Everything I have to do has been done (as opposed to everything I ought to do, which is a hell of a lot more ...) I've gone to the chemist, collected my methadone. I have a "hit" awaiting me at home that I shall desist from taking; it will only knock me out ... and I can feel already: I'm about to fall unconscious anyway ...

So many things I really ought to do ... including making that damn doctor's appointment to get those mirtazapine anitdepressants. But I'm not feeling well enough to go to the doctors (wah-waah!). I know I could phone them but it costs a fortune these days and I don't want to get into a telephone argument over the (suspected) fact that I might have been struck off for living in an area full of transients, using a surgery frequented by transients (it's so hard to get on a doctor's list these days. I had to apply to a place called Holbrook House that allocated one automatically to preclude the doctor complaining ...) and I'm sure I got a letter several months ago advising me that if I wanted to stay on their list I ought to return the enclosed form (no prepaid envelope of course so it never got done) ...

Did I have something else to say? Well it will have to wait. As I'm off now! See y'all L8R...

  1. Doctor's scare me, too many horror films.

    They would have to get me dying or bloodied up before I get into another office....except for my yearly physical.

  12. i dont understand women who can date doctors.. Their lives are so.. based on physical observations. Neither can I imagine wanting to be a doctor... Oh I wouldnt MIND being one myself. you get to talk to a lot of different people, help people, and.. get paid well. it's not a bad job at all.. It's just what kind of person is ATTRACTED to it?

  15. Ivy: in the States? Never heard that one b4 ... no I'm in London UK!! The other London is Ontario/somewhere ...

    A public phone box charges 40p minimum as of this year. Ie 80 cents! I have to watch my pennies till next week that's all ...

    I was not feeling well earlier, spent all day asleep. (I tell the world in general.)

    I'm glad everyone likes the Indian recipes. I love Indian food. It is the second national cuisine over here (seriously). Our National Football song of a few years ago featured the chant: "Vindaloo -- Vindaloo -- Vindaloo, Vindaloo, Vindaloo ..." and ("balti") chicken tikka masala has many times been named our National Dish ... (100% true!!) ...
