Felt very rough this morning and really struggled with every stage of getting up and out! I suppose it may have been one too many drinks last night but I didn't have any more than any other week. I think maybe the late hour I've been going to sleep caught up with me too as I felt utterly tired and drained. Seems I wasn't the only one, A took the day off sick today and treated herself to a morning in her "snuggly pit". Bless. That didn't stop her giving me some grief later - I had an e-mail from E asking if I was going to the betting shop to put a bet on the Gold Cup and if I was could I do one for her. I wasn't but I did, its no big deal (the horse wasn't placed). Apparently this was a cheek and I shouldn't have entertained the idea. Consensus was - Y chipped in to - she was taking the piss, but hey, I might be a soft touch but it was no skin off my nose and I do know where the line is between help and advantage. I know they mean well but I wish sometimes they'd accept thats how I am. I could never hate someone because they stopped loving me. And if the person wants a favour then fine, I wouldn't have said no 6 weeks ago so would should I now? Did a food shop tonight. A true singleton way to spend a Friday night! A weird experience in some ways, I think its fair to say that for the past 5 years I'd simply pushed the trolley while it was filled with little regard or opinion to what went in it. Tonight I found myself almost planning meals, if I was going to buy a curry sauce, I'd better buy some chicken too. That kind of thing! Even bought all the bits to make a big pot of chilli, which was yummy, even if it may not have been the best choice for someone who had spent the morning squirting liquid out of every orifice. And so to bed. I said I'd watch JR's football match at 10.30, but I dont intend being up much before that!
