The Worst Thing Today
So sorry Divia. It's so miserable when beloved pets move on.
Les proz e les vassals

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Hopefully nothing worse goes on today. I spent most of the morning in the ER with an allergic reaction. Itchy palms, feet and scalp. Throat feeling like someone shoved ball down it. I could breathe fine, but it was very uncomfortable. Not sure what caused it. Could be the 7-Up I've had recently. Could be the ibuprofen I've been taking for my knee. For now I am to avoid all NSAIDs and lemon-lime sodas. I'll be seeing an Allergist as soon as they can fit me in.

It's not been a good few months.
In August, after 18 months of bad foot and leg pain, I take a nasty fall, break my foot etc. Spend a few weeks recovering from that.
In late September, I somehow survive a nasty car crash, not quite intact and take a few weeks to recover from the bruising and battering. My car's completely written off.
Two weeks ago, I get a brand new car!
10 days ago, my neurologist says I'll need spinal surgery at some point in the coming few years and that I probably have mild cerebral palsy.....
This evening, I come home to find my flat broken into, completely ransacked but nothing at first glance taken apart from my car keys and my brand new car is stolen from my garage.....
Things can only get better, right?

SPB, I don't know you well, but am still so very sorry to hear of your troubles. Hoping insurance will make you whole after the theft, and that you will be well too. My prayers will be among the many for you.

You do seem to have been in the wars, SPB! How awful for you! I hope 2013 is a lot better.
