Better

I've been feeling better since I've been back at work, which is a first. My cold / hayfever is better, though I still have my annoying cough, and my depression has eased considerably. I think I was just bored with being at home all alone with no company and no purpose. At work at least I have a purpose, if not the company (there is company but not exactly what I'm looking for or very often [I get to talk to someone every half hour or hour]). Whatever has caused the improvement I am glad for it.

I was woken early yesterday by a phonecall from Argos to arrange when to deliver my new bed and mattress. It will be here on Monday the 19th, sometime in the morning. I can't wait to see what a new bed will feel like. I've had my current one for 12 years now, so the mattress is f*ck*d. What I am not looking forward to though is putting it together, as it apparently takes 2 people, and I'll be doing it on my own. I also don't know what tools I'll need, whatever they are though I don't have any! It is being delivered on the first day of my next set of 12 days off (following my day shifts next weekend), so I wonder if I should set myself a challenge to get it christened during those 12 days? Maybe not.

One more night shift and I'll be off for another 4 days. Shame that I will be working over next weekend though as it will be Tim's birthday. I don't know if he is going to have drinks for his birthday, but I will have to take it easy if he does as I will have to go back to work the next morning. I'm not used to going home early when I go out, I'll have to be very disciplined. I'll have to find out from Tim when and where the drinks will be.
