So although things are difficult just now what with struggling to find work and wondering where the wherewithal for bits and bobs will come from, I do realise that I am actually pretty lucky.

I don’t have millions of friends but the ones I do have mean a huge amount to me, more than actual family because they have never given up on me.

I have friends that I only “know” through the web but who also mean a great deal to me, they manage to convey more caring and consideration through pixels than many people in my direct experience can manage in total.

I am lucky enough to know the greatest person in the world :::waves at Jali::: 😀

Anyhoo, I just had an informal meeting with the lady from housing who helped me in dealing with the “idiot upstairs” (TM). I am hugely touched and appreciative of her keenness and efforts to get me involved, initially as a volunteer but hopefully in a paying role later if that can happen, in her department which is set up to support vulnerable adults. As I have quite a lot of background in being someone who would have used her departments services and as I appear to have the ability to connect with people in these situations, Tracey sees me as someone who can really make things happen in this task.

I’m really excited about it, it will lead to bigger and better things, I’m sure. Like I am sure I have said before, all I really want is enough to pay my bills and put a little aside for a future and I’m happy, if this can happen that’s as lucky as I would ever need to be…
