1. Two people in Building B have had to be physically separated from beating the 
out of each other in Building A, twice. Don't ask me how that works, it's safer not to know I think.
2. It feels like the police are making daily calls, usually to drag one of the people from point 1 off to dry out and then kick 'them out to home again.
3. Rinse and repeat 1 and 2.
4. It turns out I can actually sleep through WW3. Apparently the only thing that is guaranteed to wake me up, ever, is light. No torch in my face? haha no I'm asleep and you can't do a thing about it.
5. It would be really nice to stop waking up in the wee hours of the morning, though. Sleeping schedules are rough.
6. I've run out of Coke. And Pepsi. I wouldn't have except when I ordered food last night the takeaway involved thought it was appropriate to send me two cans of Coke for the price of 2x1.5ltr bottles. That went down well. And by well, I mean like a lead balloon. Tossers.
7. My swallow reflex is dodgy. Sometimes it forgets how it's supposed to work and liquid gets...stuck. Hot coffee means scalded throat. It's not fun. It's not something I can do on demand and I never know what's going to trigger it so I have to be careful and even soup isn't a great idea for that reason. I was reminded on this when I was on nothing but soup for a week or so a few weeks back. So, no hot coffee.
8. But I need caffeine, right? So no cola, and no hot coffee. Cold brew it is. Scrounged coffee beans from somewhere. They smell like chocolate. If heaven were a smell, it'd smell like these beans. Got a few hours to go, but it's brewing in the fridge now. Mmm, coffee.
9. My digestive system has chosen a great time to tell me to go myself. It doesn't want dairy. It doesn't want wheat. It doesn't want spice. It doesn't want corn. It doesn't want anything. Well it might handle fish but I don't have the stomach for fish. My social worker's offered to bring me Pot Noodles from somewhere but I'd feel slightly guilty about that because I don't really want Pot Noodles either? I'd eat them, don't get me wrong, but still.
10. I needed an appointment for an injection tomorrow. I've needed it for four weeks. I had to make a telephone appointment with the GP today just to get an appointment to get this injection tomorrow. She sounded so surprised. Like how many times do you want me to ask someone to ring me back so I know what the hell's going on? I only found out today because you told me! And then she said she'd give me an appointment for 11am. I got the text message for tomorrow's appointment that is apparently at 11.30am. So help me I have no idea what's going on anymore.
11. I had to open the windows because it's 23C in my flat. IT'S APRIL WTF WEATHER. This is migraine weather for me. Send help.
12. It's still 23C in my flat. In April. At 17.48.
13. I forgot I'd ordered Coke from Amazon ages ago. It's apparently arriving tomorrow. Probably when I'm not here because that's what usually happens. Sigh.
So, that's my month in a (not so short) nutshell. On the upside, I spoke with my Dad today. We argued about whether coffee was better hot or cold, but we did agree that coffee syrup should not be sugar free. All's well that ends well.
