Back in the UK at last

[compilerbitch]

I am back.

I have stopped panicking over the Lyme's thing -- if I have had it, I have had it for 2 years, so there is no immediate need to do something drastic. I will make an appointment with my GP and follow it up this week though.

I am up stupidearly, thanks to jet lag. (Which was the name of my old racing dinghy, a GP14, just as a completely random factoid). I have been touring various pigeonholes collecting paperwork that has piled up over the last three months. There was less of it than I'd feared -- the usual bills and whatnot, but on the plus side, it seems that I have won a St. Edmund's Charter Studentship. I applied ages ago, not really thinking I had much chance, but there was a letter sitting waiting for me today. It is worth (I think) 750 pounds a year for three years. OK, not exactly huge money, but better than a poke in the stick with a sharp eye, and such thinks seem to be useful CV material around here so I am very surprised and pleased right now. On the less good side, there is no sign of a replacement hole in the wall card from Bank from Hell, Barclays. I think I will just go and open an account somewhere else tomorrow -- I have a huge pile of cheques to pay in, and I am buggered if I am going to pay it in somewhere I can't get it out again.

7.18 in the morning, I am in the lab, doseybat is tucked up in bed asleep back in college. I will head back there shortly, I think.

Shame about the evil hole-in-the-wall inaccesability, but on the other hand you're back, you have a little extra money coming your way and hey...things could be worse, right?

Shame I missed you :(

But welcome back to Blighty anwyay :)

Welcome back! And hurrah for the studentship. :)

That seems very sensible - both the non-panicking and the making an appointment for this week.

Heya, welcome back and congratulations :)

I didn't know you used to sail racing dinghies. I have a Mirror 10 in the garage at the moment, waiting for me to get round to doing something to her varnish and paint. Where did you sail?

Welcome back, and good luck with the doctor tomorrow *hugs*

Sounds like an Iain M Banks style ship name ;-)

I haven't been reading LJ for a few days, so I missed this.
1. Welcome home! Glad you're back.
2. Congrats on the Charter Studentship (that sounds boat-related)!
3. So sorry to hear about the medical hassles. Glad you're doing the smart thing and having it checked out as soon as you can. Fingers crossed that everything will be properly diagnosed and easily treated!
