Yesterday I downloaded and played a Half-Life 2 mod called -- with no imagination at all -- 'Leon's Maps'. Then I bumbled around with an old story, seeing if I could get it to work. Then I read a submission to the BADASS anthology, making a few changes as I went along in case Chris Hall decides to accept it. So what I did yesterday, in short, is turn my back on all my woes. Eye problems and redundancy . . . sod 'em for now.
Next week however, Jill is going to phone our GP to make an appointment: I need a referral to see another eye specialist at Hartshill Outpatients. I really need to get in the queue for laser treatment or I will be the same situation I was this time last year - seriously hindered by cloudy vision on top of the ususal shitty effects of retinitis pigmentosa.
Jill will also ring the ENT department at the Outpatients to make an appointment for me to be fitted up with a new ear mould for my hearing aid.
A union man is coming on to the factory to advise me on my rights re. the pending redundancy and the possibility of retraining. Then, I suppose, I need to get myself down the Jobcentre to look into the whole situation of re-employment and/or benefits. I know I'm entitled to some assistance, but the thought of asking for it . . . well, it makes me unhappy.
So, more Half-Life 2 it is then!
