Recovery

Went out for a couple drinks last Saturday night, meeting some mates who'd been watching the footie in Jaks pub - felt good to be out, but that'll be my last time until pay day - spent too much money last weekend on clothes and the like.

Good session with the counsellor on Wednesday, I'm feeling less depressed now than before I started seeing her, and I have actually started to try to come out of my comfort zone - went up to Ard Jekyll MSPCA rescue home to ask about volunteer dog walking, but the opening times were different to their website, and no-one was around to ask - but at least I tried! I'd hummed and haaed about going up, as I had the night before on going out, but on both occasions I followed through with the plan I'd made.

Work went better this week, which no doubt helped my outlook on life, and I'm off on Monday for a diabetes test at the docs and for the gas boiler in the apartment to be serviced.

Rode the bike up to Harry's this morning for the World Superbike races on the telly from Qatar, so no lie-in for Ben - Qatar is 3 hours ahead, so the first race started at 9am UK time! Took the new chain and sprockets up ready for a nice weekend to change them too. Watched the races, chatted, had a go at the PS3 MotoGP '08 game, and sucked mightily! It did give me some idea of the way Doningtion circuit goes for our race school trip in May.

Staying in tonight as I'm skint, so munchies and TV, I think
