Another me update

Hi to all, thought I’d throw in a little me update in case anyone is interested.

All my bloods have come back fine. The vitamin B12 is still low, but doesn’t look like there’s an obvious medical reason, so I’m on supplements and will be re-tested in three months.

This means that the Doctor is now back to “it’s a virus; there’s nothing we can do.” While that is a good thing as it means it’s nowt more icky, it’s a pain as I just have to wait for it to pass.

I came back to work yesterday and the full day nearly killed me. I got home from work, went straight to bed and got woken by my lovely flatty who had cooked for me – not wanting me to starve – then went back to bed again. But, after three weeks off, I really don’t want to go sick again so have negotiated a phased return to work plan. For the next week I do a five hour day, the week after it will go up a bit and so on.  This suits me and will hopefully still allow me to recover while I work. Am lucky to have such an understanding boss.

I did manage to get away over the weekend. I am so aware that I was very much under par and there are parts of the weekend I have little recollection of (odd given that I was sober!) and the whole affair was much more subdued than I would normally be. But at least I was in Cardiff, I got to see the band and most importantly I was with my friends.

I also got to see one of my out-of-fandom besties for a couple of days and she took me to a loely market where there was a terribly friendly chap who imports certified coffee from all over the world, self roasts and sells the beans at markets. My inner Ianto and I were both terribly pleased to meet him and both got over excited and bought lots of coffee. However, given that my inner Ianto is sadly not a real person, the excitement of two is still down to the bank account of one...

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and hugs while I have been busy being pathetic and feeling sorry for myself the last few weeks, and for the virtual hugs. I hope you are all keeping well and safe.

There are two many it is impossible to choose, but if pushed I’ll go for something from Sleeper; one of the many great lines Mr Moran gave Ianto if I’m further pushed.
