Yesterday turned out to not be the super-long, tiring day I was expecting it to be. Andy was far too tired to stay at work until 8pm, so the evening group was cancelled. I didn't find out until I arrived at SHIP though, so I stayed and ate the pie and ice cream I'd bought from Beanos and then had a long conversation with Tamsin. She's leaving SHIP as she's realised that when her benefits finish soon they won't give her any more as she's essentially currently working full time. SHIP has no funding to pay for her to work there, so she has to go. She said that Bradford Mind had advertised some jobs which she was going to apply for, so at least she has direction. It seems she's doing quite well, all in all, which is great news.
I had to go for a blood test this morning. The neurologist recommended I had one, so off I went. I was scared. I don't like people sticking things in my body. It was over quickly though, and at the end the nurse gave me a sticker which features a panda and says "I've been brave at the doctors today." I've stuck it on to my computer monitor. It makes me feel slightly better as I groan and whine at my essay, and try desperately to find other things to do.
