Progress report

So following last weekend's events, I finally feel up to a progress report. Sunday night we had dinner with my in-laws and Mr SC's in-laws for the first time. Yes, in three years of relationship, we finally got our parents together to meet almost two months before our wedding. However, Saturday morning's events were taboo, as Mr SC does not want his family to worry. Great.

On Tuesday, a last minute appointment at the Docs had him sent home with promises of a referral to a headache clinic, a second appointment for Friday, some hefty painkillers and advice to avoid codeine based painkillers. Friday rolled around, with exertion based headaches still happening, but the hefty painkillers being pretty rapid to help. This time he has been sent home with beta-blockers and an appointment for next Friday again. I won't say I am not concerned still, but at least both Mr SC and the medical profession are taking it seriously.

At work, it seems that we are about to enter another slow period. I have not got much sitting on my desk, and even less in the way of prospective work. I really want to look into building up some sort of business from home, but can never decide what would suit me. I guess the joy of working for myself would be that I wouldn't have to pick just one route to go down. As soon as I get my wedding invites finished, I am going to throw myself into some etsy projects. Remind me of that please!

In the last week, Mr SC has really knuckled down and sorted out the house. The bathroom and kitchen are clean, the spare room is ready for my parents to come and stay, the lounge is tidy, and the washing pile isn't out of control. Wow!

Consummate Professional

A business meeting at half ten in the morning would usually be best preceded by getting up early, completing one's toilette in a calm manner, a sound breakfast, a peaceful journey into the office where one's papers were assembled the previous working day before arriving at the meeting place with a few minutes to spare. Nothing more really needs to be said does it? Me, behaving like that; who am I kidding!

Now I just need a couple of doughnuts and some clips...

Today I had a phone call at work from a really desperate customer. She was running out of options, and told me that I was "her only hope." Of course, I giggled and replied "just call me Obi-Wan." I don't think she caught the reference. I feel saddened by this.
