June

Had a good birthday. Which is better than the rest of the days in May - got fired on the 8th, got a letter saying I couldn't get counselling as the aspergers counsellor was moving, and my boss decided to put 22nd May on our P45s as the termination date. I have received no money from the Job Centre, and it's starting to get worrying now. Shakespeare decided to become ill, too. Enough for me to fear for his life. Damn cat cost me over £100 just for some antibiotics and consultations, enough to break into the rent money. But, as I said, my birthday was good. The whole weekend in fact. On the Saturday we went for a picnic with the boys and Lou, then on Sunday it was the toy fair at the racecourse (bought some lovely things) and a barbecue at his mothers with his brother and sister-in-law. And yesterday a picnic at Cusworth Hall with some friends! It's been a good week for the weather, and I now have sunburn which will hopefully turn into something other than red!

I have my counselling session on Thursday (FINALLY), but I don't really know what to say to her as my circumstances have changed - I'm now unemployed, so I'm experiencing less stress and anxiety. However, there is probably more to it than that. I suppose I should just give it a try, after all, I've been waiting 10 months. Could've had a baby in that time!

We're also getting a lot more attention from local services, in particular M25 tenant support. The woman is trying to get us social workers, a dentist, information as to why we haven't received ESA yet, the lot. She's coming again tomorrow - think it may end up being every week. Hope she's got some good news for us.

We have two more cats to do - Crazy Eyes(who we ended up keeping) and Pennywise. Though there's now a delay after Shakespeare's bout of gland swelling! He seems to be getting back to normal, and the lump on his neck has disappeared for the most part. That was a birthday present all on its own.

Well, it's June now - 14 days 'til Zac's birthday, 24 days 'til Dani is supposed to give birth to his first nephew, and it looks like it's going to rain for the first time in a week! The plants will be happy! Hopefully, June will be a good month all said. The first two days of it have been grand. :)
