Interrupted

deborah_cIt seems to have been a week far too full of appointments. Monday should have had the appointment about which I whinged earlier in the week; it of course still managed to disrupt everything, since I had to turn up before I could decide not to have it. Tuesday was the children's final day of school (so they've also been dashing around at home, which tends to be a little disturbing from a getting-work-done perspective); while I had no appointments, one of the girls needed to be at the opticians at an inconvenient moment, so we both had to go and collect them all.
Wednesday I had a final appointment with my counsellor. Seeing him should have been to round off the last year or so of therapy, but was rather disorganised, dealing instead with new things that have cropped up since I decided to stop going. A little amusement was added on the way home when narrowly managing to avoid running over two (presumably) foreign language students who were riding along Perne Road two abreast on the right hand side of the road.
Thursday was broken by a dentist's appointment. I assume that the brevity of this one is a good sign, and not simply a sign that NHS patients aren't looked at very carefully... Meanwhile, today I got to meet my new GP, and discovered that the consultant I saw two months ago hasn't yet written to say what she should do about me. Not a wholly unproductive session, but completely failing to address the main thing that's been dragging my mood down this week. I shall instead have that issue hanging over me for the next six weeks, until both she and I are back from holiday, which doesn't exactly thrill me.
This hasn't been very conducive to getting productive, concentrated work done for the last few days. Just to add to the fun, a friend who needs to borrow a large amount of equipment from us finally sent me a list of what he wants, yesterday, rather than a fortnight ago when I'd hoped for it. Everything needs to be tested and packed, somehow, in the next few days, while trying to finish the project I'm working on (or at least get it to a usable state), pack for our own holiday at the end of next week, and try to destress Liz by helping keep children amused and getting a few things done around the house. I'm consequently feeling more than a little stressed; the fact that my mood at the moment mostly leaves me wanting to sit and cry doesn't much help.

Date: 2004-07-23 03:26 pm (UTC)I'm free Sunday and (probably)Monday evenings, and whilst I have plans for t'other days, they mostly don't start unitl around seven, so we could still catch up then - let me know when would be good for you if you'd like.
*hugs very tightly*
