It’s been a long week suffering with the bug I caught last week. It left me just wanting sleep, which is all I seemed to do. I even had to get my wife to call the jobcentre to tell them I couldn’t sign on. They sent out a form to fill in that was done when I got out of bed feeling like a truck had run me down. Anyways the wife posted it back to them the following day and we got paid our benefit on time. It surprised me as I thought that we would have to wait till the form was processed but luckily not.
I have missed out on doing anything because of how rough I was. No job searching, no checking out the sites on the web like Authonomy and even my garden has been left for me other half to see to.
Luckily I am now feeling a lot better and will be getting back to normal. I have plans to get on with Banshee 2 this weekend. I also want to put more of Bublos onto the Authonomy site. I’m still trying to get more feedback on it before deciding how to move forwards with it. Lulu has sent me an email this week saying that they are trying to sort out problems they are having with Amazon.co.uk. It shows that they haven’t forgotten about me at least or that’s how the email made me feel. They have also changed their packages and it reminds me of the old system that first caught my eye. Yes it cost a little more but if the service is back as good as it used to be who can complain. As I said though first for more feed back before I make my mind up. It also lets me see how Lulu shapes up over the next few weeks.

It has been a very difficult week this week, full of worrying over my wife. She has been very ill and had to go into hospital on Tuesday. She beginning to feel better but is still there. You can imagine how hard it has been as the doctors didn’t know what was wrong. All that we knew was that her blood count fell to very dangerous levels. It should be between 11 and 12, well Magz’s fell to 5.9 on Tuesday. After several transfusions it is now more stable and they seem to have figured out what was wrong, something to do with a stretched bowel. I don’t really understand it very well as she only got told today and I haven’t been able to go out to see her today as yet though I will be there tonight. The most important thing though is that she is that she gets better.
Because of the wife’s medical emergency everything to do with my book has been on hold. I just haven’t had the spare time to do any work on my book. It has been a struggle just finding the time to do an online job search and to check on my email. Mind it wasn’t really worth my time checking for a job as there hasn’t been anything suitable or not that I could do for almost two weeks. You would have thought with Christmas just around the corner that there would be more out there, even if it was only temporary. Mind saying that being unemployed has made it a little easier with my wife being ill at the moment. How much harder would it have been if I was working?
As it is I have been finding it hard to sleep as when I go to bed that is when I start thinking. All day I’m to busy to think about things but at night lying alone in bed, well that is when your mind begins to runaway with itself. When you do fall over it is only for a short time as you seem to wake yourself because the bed is empty. There isn’t that comforting sound of your partner beside you snoring away. I hope she’s well enough to come home soon.

Got a call about a job this week while I was at the Work Placement in Irvine. Calum took the number down but the place was closed by the time I got home. I phoned promptly the next morning from the Placement but they seemed clueless to what I was talking about but said they would call me back. Of course that phone call never happened so it would seem the Government's slavery programme has cost me a potential job. I am not happy about it though there is little I can do now.
The scheme itself is going well other than the fact that I have been ill all week. An end of summer cold has gripped me. It has left me crabby and very tired and seems to not wish to break. I thought I was turning the corner with it the other day but yesterday and today has assured me that it still has the better of me. I hate being ill and I really dislike that yucky feeling that comes with the common cold. I will be glad when I can finally shake it.
My garden suffered more vandalism this week. One of my cherry trees being the victim this time. Just the one branch was snapped off. I would have thought it wild life had it not been for the fact that the branch was pushed under the hedge as if to hide it which would suggest kids looking for free fruit and feeling a certain guilt for the damage they caused. At least that is how I see it though I doubt I will ever truly know how the damage occurred. Sadly it hasn't been a great year in the garden this year. Really poor weather has caused much of what was planted to fade into nothing. Though I did get some good tatties last month as well as some juicy blueberries this week. So I will be looking forwards to the pie Magz will make from them.
