I'm at it again, having had such a good day today getting lots of reading in and feeling good in my neck and my arms but there is always something isn't there? Well I'm back to doctors. I need the doctor to fill out a form so that I can claim mortgage relief for the time I have been off, now they won't pay out until the form has been sent in. It needs to be filled in by the doctor then my employer and then I have to fill something in. So I thought since my filled in bit includes sensitive information I concluded that I would go in the order Doctor, employer, self, makes sense. Well 3 weeks ago I took the form to the doctors to speed up the process, the doctors do not see this activity as an important activity and to be fair their job is dealing with sick people but they are asking to be paid for this task but how long should it take. An admin person could do this from the records and then give it to the doctor to sign. Now the doctors do not see this as a priority but for someone who has lost half their monthly income and can't do anything until the form is signed and returned it is a priority. Phew! I feel better now! I would feel even better if I had the form so that I could send it to my employer. Maybe next week then!

Bank Holiday Weekend
Well the May Bank Holiday is here and yet again I find myself at a loose end not doing anything.I wish my neck was better as I would really get to work on things around the house or is that just my excuse now for not doing anything. 
I have read quite a lot and the more I read the more I identify books that I should have read over my life time and I think it is all too late and I will never be able to understand the great thinkers and philosophers because they always refer to other peoples work that I haven't yet written so I need to read their work before I really understand what they are saying it is like having a great long list of books to read and they are in chronological order but you don't know the order and you only find that there is a book before the one you are reading when you are actually reading it so you go to that book and the same again. Even starting with say the bible isn't enough because the bible does not refer you to the next book or even going back to the first book ever written as the same applies there as it would because the next book isn't written yet if you see what I mean so the list of unwritten books goes on and on and on and it gets depressing and then the sun comes out and everything is fine.

We have a birthday party to go to this afternoon so it should be a time to discuss the weekend and the football and whether or if Newcastle can survive (it's looking very grim for the 'toon') and talking about the the fact that Burnley are in the play offs in the Championship and can they beat Reading and then go further? Oh! what a fine day it will be if the rain stays away. I am still desperate to get back to work I just need to organise it with my manager to see about a phased way back in that will be great as I am really going berserk in the house. I have lots ti do as well I would love to get started on my Dissertation now that the survey is underway I am a little disappointed with the response rate mind you so far only about 30 have replied and that is from 6 different authorities still I suppose there is time yet. I need to start getting something written now so that it is not all to do next year because things will be hectic next year and I will be stuck for time. I am going to make a really stern effort to begin this next week.I know that as soon as I get my introduction down I will be able to write the rest and it will start to flow as long as I break up the tasks into small bites that I can handle so with that resolution passed I will go and enjoy the rest of my day knowing that the introduction to my research dissertation will start tomorrow Hooray! I love it when it all comes together.
