Hey lovely peoples...

Being home alone now is bring new challenges each day. All of a sudden, the days have become very long, and I sit here wondering how I am going to pass the time over the next 3 months? I assume a little loneliness is normal and to be expected. I have my dogs home and am very thankful to have them here. But this is a whole knew learning curve for me beginning now.

Love to you all xx Pie

Hey Katie you should write an autobiography. You write really well and I'm sure many people would want to read your story. The last chapter has yet to unfold but by the time you get there... Alternatively you could make it a novel if you don't want too many facts to get in the way of a good story!!

I've added a few pics to my blog as I have only just remembered how to do so. Whoops.

And Paul... thanks again for the kind off. It just seems that I'm pretty hopeless at sitting still, and watching movies. I have plenty on my lap top (and got a DVD player somewhere) but it takes great motivation for me to actually watch them as it's not something I have ever really done in the past.

As for reading, I can not read. My eye sight is permenantly fuzzy from these pins going into my head, and it causes headaches for me to focus on a page so much that I can take it all in. Alas, I can't bend my head either to read comfortably so this is something that I'll be doing plenty of catching up on at a later stage.

I had the lazy boy chair delievered yesterday. ACC had actually denied me the proper chair, and a very basic recliner was delivered. It was huge. And because I'm such a short fry I had to sit right on the edge to bend my legs over, and that left a large gap between me and the back. My OC was furious with ACC, called them, and they finally approved me for a proper chair. They swapped them over yesterday afternoon. And guess what the first thing I did was? I grabbed a coupple of hours kip in my lounge, wrapped up in a blanket in a very comfortable position. Yuuuuuuuus! Success. I got another few hours sleep in it last night so it's all good news from here.

And guess what? I'm not even slightly grumpy today, after getting so sleep. I'm smiling from ear to ear and will now spend the afternoon working on my CV and try and get that up to scratch.

One happy Pie, that's for sure. My fur babies are asleep at my feet, and I have a bottle of V on hand. Today is a very good day.

u gotta win sometimes eh chook? Good news all round.

[oneofsix]

don't know why ACC try to go the cheap route on things like that. As in your case it must cost them more in the long run.
Glad to see you got a result and can get some sleep.
All the best with the job hunt.

Hey Katiepie, don't let up on ACC, they will always go the el cheapo way first and if you don't complain they'll keep doing it. SIT ON EM GIRL and don't let them up without promising to do it right.
Really glad you got some sleep at last, hope that continues, heal good and remember , little steps.

Join the library and grab some spoken books?

What about assembling a model motorcycle or summat - prob too fuzzy for that (eyesight?) If you get real bored you could drive over (hell, I'll even pick u up) and paint my barge boards

[John_H]

Yeah KBow. Stick it to da man!

[MarkH]

don't know why ACC try to go the cheap route on things like that.

Is the answer: "because they are useless arseholes?"
If I got it right then what do I win?

[Hawkeye]

Hey Katie, I have a number of audio books on a hard drive if that would interest you.
I'll compile a list of what I have and let you know.

Hey Katiepie - since you have to deal with ACC you really should download and listen to the Sunzi (Sun Tsu) - The Art of War.

Reckon she is better off with "Love Among the Chickens" if she has to rely on ACC
