I've had lovely holidays, but I find myself so darn tired. Probably the cold. I become slow and stiff from sitting in a too cold room, and moving around enough just isn't possible.
to keep the mind alive I've found a new pastime. I am making up quizzes on Facebook. I think I've done five now. One of the ones I did yesterday has been taken over a thousand times. It keeps the brain alive. Anyone wanting to give them a try: http://apps.facebook.com/quizzes?point=20801 , it's good fun, and when the brain starts to slow down I take a few quizzes myself. I haven't been out much and I a entirely avoidant of having to deal with the everyday problems such as looking for a better place to stay and getting a bus pass.
I'lll tell you why I don't have a bus pass. I was never sent a form. I called twice, they didn't send a form. I kept trying to call but the message box was always full and no actual human would answer the call. Finally I filled out my own form containing all pertinent information, signed it, made out a cheque and sent it to their office. Nothing for two weeks, so I became optimistic. The day before Christmas I got the form back saying it was not acceptable and a form would be sent to me. Why in heaven's name they couldn't stuff a form in with that letter? So now I await the letter and will have to buy bus tickets and cut out all extra travel. If they didn't have done away with social workers and case workers I might have had someone to call for help, but since they have done away with that system. Oh well, that was last year. So far at least this year is going nicely, and I have my birthday to look forward to, and my grandson' birthday right after. After that I will deal with the mundane until then I am on vacation.

happy new year
