I know I've been rather absent from here, but I'm afraid I've had rather a lot on which has required a lot of psychic energy.
Most recently I have decided I'm going to move. I absolutely love looking at properties for sale and having an excuse to look at the clutter people have hidden away in their kitchen cupboards! In fact it's going unexpectedly easy so far, although since I've asked a solicitor to have a look at my lease because it's an affordable flat, to make sure I'm selling to the right person and to stop sales falling through in the future, there's still potential for drama.
The other major thing is that I'm looking to get a diagnosis for the PTSD I think I probably have. Certainly, the RCPsych page on PTSD pretty much describes me but I want to know. This has also so far been surprisingly stress free, although I am absolutely not going to have therapy with my former employers so am on self help.
This is fine of course. I have always told people that the reason the evidence is that self help is as good as a therapist is you admit things to yourself that you would be embarrassed to say to someone else. The resulting frankness makes it go better.
Of course I'm also being witchy about it and tarot always comes to the rescue.
Meanwhile I'm very pleased indeed that our Zack Polanski was elected leader of the Green Party by a landslide and it's always nice to see Labour immediately bitching because they're shitting themselves. Very satisfying.
Oh, dear. You haven't been dealing with "customer service" monkeys too, have you? (I mean, to explain your absence, not the PTSD. Although...)
ReplyDeleteAnyway: moving. How exciting (and hopefully not too dramatic)! Are you staying in the area or looking further afield?
I'm not moving! The problem is that with the cladding on these flats it's pretty much unsellable until it's sorted so I'm staying put and concentrating on PTSD.
DeleteBest of luck to you in finding a nice new haunt and getting a fair price for your old one! You're always welcome to email me if you want someone who is both stranger and friend to reach out too. I've got no interest in sharing your secrets. You know I would help if I could. I feel obligated to say, for reasons I don't know; "Find peace along the water."
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You mean the canal bank of course, another place of travels and transformation!
