Playing Catch-Up
Hurrah, hurray! Although my Internet connection is still dead, some kind soul decided to start up a wifi hot spot within range of my house, so I am able to get online - albeit unreliably, insecurely and maybe just for today!
Since I last posted, it’s been a bit of a rough ride. My partner’s had a couple of periods where she was drinking every two days again, falling back into that self-destructive cycle of ‘get drunk, spend a day recovering, get drunk, spend a day recovering’. Mostly, this was due to her anxiety at the possibility of her parents arriving (which they didn’t), but it hasn’t been helped by crappy weather and some minor health problems.
She’s still on her diet, you see. This, in itself, isn’t a bad thing - it’s just that she has taken to eating a lot of vegetables. One of those is bean sprouts, which have a rather high fibre content… or at least, that’s what it seems, given her sudden need to, uh, spend a lot of time in the smallest room in the house, shall we say?
Me, I’m playing catch-up for the moment, trying to get through hundreds of emails, publish a couple of things I’ve written and make an entrance on my blogs. It’s going to be a day or two before I make much sense, at a guess, but it’s really good to be back online. Keep your fingers crossed for continued connectivity!
