Feeling Down & Out!!!

I can't believe it's been 26 days since I last wrote in here, I'm sorry if I worried anyone, mind you who would worry about me?

I know, I know there are some people who do worry, some dear friends who think of me often even if they don't always say it.

I do know I am thought of as I think of these same friends often to.

Since I completed my Incapacity for work questionnaire I have been so down with myself & I can't put a real finger on why, just that I am.

I have had some stressful days to add to all I have to cope with, and as you may know stress is NOT a good thing for me, so low emotions and high stress, shall I just stay in bed????

Our car broke down while we where in France on a day trip, we crawled and I mean crawled back to the Tunnel and the UK then sat for 3 hours awaiting transport home.

The breakdown company came out to see us with a vehicle which couldn't tow us so they sent someone else to pick us up and take us back to their yard so we could get a hire car from them as they didn't want to tow us all the way home that night.

I didn't mind much at the thought of a hire car but knew this would mean leaving my wheelchair behind as our car was full of shopping which couldn't be left behind.

Now we were told we would have our car back the next day, or the day after at the latest. It wasn't till the second day we received a text message telling us it would be the next day before we got our car back. It was at that point I rang them and reminded them that they had my wheelchair, they said they would see what they could do and they would call me back within thirty minutes, but it took me calling back an hour later to find out they couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything different than deliver the car back the next day.

He did ask us what time we wanted your car to be delivered and when that time came and went we waited patiently for two more hours and then we received a phone call from the delivery guy who was at the Dartford tunnel, just over an hour away, so his phrase of "I'll be with you shortly" pleased me no end as I pointed out how long he would really be.

Anyway our car is back and still being repaired, I hope to have it returned to us within the next few days, so in the mean time a good friend has lent us a vehicle to use which hubby is rapidly liking more and more, so I can see it now and no we are not changing vehicles for a few more years.

On a good note I do finally have some of my inheritance from my dad's estate even if the whole estate isn't finalised yet (still), at least I can do some of the things I have been waiting to do for all this time.

However, I have these funds in the bank and I feel like I'm still waiting for it, I'm not my usual self, looking at things on the web, spending on things I need, planning, writing lists, getting things moving........

It's as if my world has just come to a stop.

See I'm back to that feeling down for no reason again and I can't put my finger on it?

So much that is good to look forward to and yet.................. I don't know????

Let's just hope it all sorts it's self out soon!!!
