Well, I don’t know. But I have been in bed since Monday, coughing, hacking and aching for England. And having been assessed online, Chris now has a reference number with which to collect me a course of anti virals. Blah 
Insurance renewal time. Two claims in the last 3 years. Ouch. Still, after a bit of internetting (all comparison websites are crap. 100% true fcat) and some ringing around, not as ouch as the initial renewal premium which came through and nearly made my eyes water. But ouch enough
To resolve a mother/daughter dispute at the weekend* - over when the former had had her pulmonary embolism - I had to provide documentary evidence to support my answer, which involved digging out all my old diaries. I subsequently spent some time flicking through them…
…wow. 2007 really was a bad year…you can barely see paper on many of the pages, there’s that many things to do, reminders, appointments etc scribbled in. Is it really any wonder I ended up in hospital?
On a more postive note, I recently took one of those life expectancy tests. This is relevant (honest!) because I remember taking one sometime during the Year of Hell and being mildly surprised that I was still breathing, the rate at which my virtual remaining years decreased when I input my stress and anxiety scores. This time around, I am please to report I’m 4.5 years younger than I actually am (YAY!!! I’M STILL IN MY 30’s!!!), and should expect to live until shortly after my 80th birthday. That’s no longer as frightening prospect as it once would have seemed… 
* yes of course I was right, did you ever really doubt it LOL!
First acupuncture session today, first of a course of six treatments. I had a total of 11 needles stuck in my back/neck plus one in each hand. I was warned that I may well ache more after each treatment, and boy they were right. I feel like I’ve been kicked by several mean spirited donkeys. Only time will tell if this will have any effect on my back/neck/shoulder pain, and at this precise moment it’s very hard to believe that it will!!
