Simon for dinner

Last night was very enjoyable. The "just a few beers after work" morphed into rather a lot of beers until about 11pm. Feel a bit unwell today, but it was good to get out. Simon was the responsible one and escorted me home at the appropriate time. I had to ask him when we got home, this morning after waking up. Humorously thanked him for saving me...

It's a bit annoying as he had to leave so early. He stayed the night but was up at only 7am, on a Saturday, as he had to leave to go feed this great big dog at the house he's looking after. I suggested he stay for a week or two after he's finished his house sitting and we can not worry about all of that. It makes it pretty difficult at the moment being there and me here. It's OK to go over there on the weekend and all to visit, but through the week I'm anxious about staying away from home. There's things like the morning pills to think of (like the 300mg of Efexor), and the work clothes I have to wear. Then packing the toothbrush and all. It's a bit hard to get my head around all that at times. I hate how cold that place is too, all polished floorboards, no carpet. Worry about getting sick from it, especially after the yellow slime again. Cripes, Simon came around here the other day and was cold from head to toe. Had to warm up the poor dear in bed.

Anyway he's coming around later and we're having a quiet night at home here. I said I'd do dinner. Nothing special just the 3 things of meat, potatoes and veges. Pretty un-fuck-up-able that. He appreciates me doing it though as with him being a chef it's often just assumed that he'll be the one who cooks. I'm no chef but things like that you can't go wrong with. 

Went to the shops earlier as I had to get my monthly prescriptions. Got them all in one go instead of the three here and there. Noticed the price was a bit cheaper. I guess the prescription thing the gov did recently has had an effect, although very minimal. The three prescriptions (two blood pressure pills and the Efexor) came to $69, instead of $75 like before. Wow, I'm saved....  The pharmacist on duty there was a bit concerned about all that Efexor. I've only started going to that Chemist recently so aren't known there yet. Asked me how things were going and if I was OK. I mumbled something like "Yeah. Um, I've been on the Efexor for ages, since 2009". It was very nice of him to ask that though, think I'll keep going back there as they seem to genuinely care. I guess it is a fuckin lot of Efexor, I don't think about it as I've been on this dose for so long. But a months supply is 2 whole boxes of 28 pills x 150mg each (I take two to make the 300mg a day). It has helped enormously. I don't think I'd be alive today if I'd not been put on them. 

Went and got some shopping, just a few things. Simon was talking about these kangaroo burgers he got that were really nice, so I got some of that to try. And saw they have kangaroo sausages as well, thought I'd give that a go too.

"Kanga Bangas", hilarious. They do look nice though. Because there's virtually no fat in them the meat doesn't give me any indigestion at all. My daughter is utterly horrified. 

Which though reminds me of an incident yesterday at the bus stop on the way home from work. Had just had a couple of beers to relax after work and was waiting for the next bus, and a car pulled up at the stop dropping off a teenage bloke. He had a big bag of Mac Donald's, and sat down at the table nearby and proceeded to scoff it down at a rate of knots. I mean he was virtually inhaling the stuff. It was the whole bit too, fries and soft drink. Just looking at this guy eating that shit made me feel physically ill. The amount of sugar and chemicals he was putting into his body, but he just had no idea of what he was eating. I was quite surprised at how intense my revoltion to it was.
