Birthday weekend and overjoy

Strange how within a few hours your mood can change from despair to utter joy and love.

This weekend was utterly amazing, my girls, my friends and everyone around me have made this birthday probably the best ever. From surprise visits arranged by a friend and my youngest at which I screamed with joy and must have made the public around me think I was having another Amos moment. To beautiful gifts of flowers, jewellery, money and a spa trip. To a birthday BBQ bash on the beach with stunning weather, everything and everyone around me was smiling down and laughing. I don't know how possible it is for one person can be surrounded with such love, I sort of say this every year (so Facebook tells m anyway) that I am always astounded by the joy I am brought by the people around me.

Unfortunately the same joy can't be said of the benefits agencies. Now don't get me wrong when I have this moan because I know they are extraordinarily busy, and I know that there are a lot of people that shaft the system and get as much as they can, but I am not one of those people and I have had to call these damn agencies every day for the last two weeks, I have to wait for forms after forms and then some more forms because the last 4 people I spoke to haven't sent the internal forms that should have been done.  I have received duplicate letters daily from agency after agency and wonder how much their postal costs must be.Why can't this stuff all be done by one professional in one appointment and the information be taken and shared? Surely this would make the internal system easier for the staff and less stressful for the ill people (the genuinely ill people).

I'm sorry to say that I haven't tried any new things this week, my night time routine is working a treat, I haven't tried the head massage yet but I do think this will be better used to help with hair growth after the eviction and removal of the terrifying staples (OMG the thought of the head staples makes me feel vomitingly sick), anyway it seems that hair growth will be approx an inch and a half by the wedding, I hope this can be increased by head massage with coconut oil. Youtube will help with self teachings, I think that will be safer for me than letting someone else touch my poorly head. Now on this note obviously diet has been not great this last couple of days with sooooooo many birthday treats but I will climb back onto that fast moving wagon and get rid of the sugar again.

Today I have also surrendered my driving licence, definite sad face emoji but this is definitely the best way to do this as once I am allowed to drive again the quickest way to get it back will be to have to doctors certificate and I can apply and get back behind the wheel and be a normal person again :)
