I had planned a day of gentle Christmas shopping, maybe with lunch out somewhere. Then the following happened:
* I booked the first dental appointment I'd managed in two years and they only had lunchtime left. Christmas shopping relegated to the afternoon.
* Another child protection investigation, hoorah. Devote the morning to going through my life with yet another social worker.
* To top it off - last night I was in the shower when the phone rang. Stupid idiot that I am, I jumped out of the shower covered in soapy water and attempted to run across a laminate floor to get the phone. I hit the aforementioned floor headfirst. Went to bed with a headache, realised in the course of the night that I might have done more damage to my neck than my head. Today the bruises are coming out.
I made it through the social worker, went to the dentist, even did some food shopping. But now I have run out of steam and can only sit on the sofa feeling more and more stiff and more and more sorry for myself. Christmas shopping will be done online this year. Again.
