If I was a computer right now, you would say that I am on 'safe mode'. Eyes that feel like they have been torn open and filled with builder's sand. The eyeballs are doing an ineffectual job, holding back copious amounts of saline and it feels like the lids will burst their banks soon and I will perish in my own mucus. God, am I attractive right now.

I have made careful plodding starts on my diss intro, with full expectation to draft out the first 1,000 words as intro, then go full forcce into the Toyshop trying to prove various arguments on stage one. The chapter has to be fully written and referenced by Wednesday week, even if it is purely draft form. All stands as part of the portfolio. Last night, I was shivery and knocking back glasses of homemade elderberry wine - tonight, I am on the Lemsip, trying to shift some bug (or at least hold it back so I ca do some work).

Have bug - sandpaper eyes, watering. Sneezing and snotty. In bed early, previously listening to the really bad science fiction of Rev Lionel Fanthorpe.

Was back at hospital again today, but for another friend who was rushed in around the same time I was taking my other friend in. Friend Number 2 has had an emergency op and I believe sore, but ok for now. Ironically, these people are the ones who are either moving or in the process of doing so.

Am going to bed early tonight :-)

Just spent 7 hours in the Emergency Room with a friend who had signs of heart problems. It's not a place you want to be at 3am in the morning, when the only people out are police, taxis, pissheads and loonies. The latter two were also in the emergency sector - one rocking and crying, tother yanking his cannula out, leaving gore over the loo. Another guy left his bloody footprints over the corridor -staff panicking over whose job it was if they couldn't find a cleaner. Detritus everywhere. Not the fault of the hospital - more the fact that they are cash-strapped and starved of time. Friend was at end of tether but managed to get test results back and checked herself out

Members of the public can be a scary lot at times. Thankfully, I zoned out and she slept for a lot of it. Now back in bed, hoping to catch some zees before starlight becomes daylight.
