I finally got to have a conversation with one of Kristi's oncology team. They weren't able to give me all the answers I had hoped for, particularly on timelines and odds, but I did get that the stuff I was told about Kristi having 10 years tops left was rubbish. I also managed to get a physio and a dietitian referral for her when I explained about how tired she's been and stuggles to walk for 10 minutes whereas before she could walk for miles no problem, then enquired if there was any exercise programs suitable for her that we could do at home.

Our friend who got out of an abusive relationship needed my help tonight. Her ex husbands parents were up and making legal threats if they didn't get to see the kids, so I said to her that I'd come along. I dressed up in shirt, tie, smart shows and just sat there looking like I might be a social worker or a shabbier looking type of lawyer, or just an office worker. Her kids were bribed to only say that my name was Alex and that I knew their mum if any questions were asked about me due to some stuff they'd pulled before. I wanted them off guard and behaving while they tried to figure out what I was doing. There is more to the story than I can tell here and why I'd go to those lengths. Anyway, they behaved, although there were pointed comments made towards our friend. Anyway, she feels my presence kept them behaving better.

Kristi's cousins have went home and I didn't kill any of them, although if I'd known the husband of one made a blog post where he explained that he was visiting Scotland because his wifes cousin was (in his words) "Passing away", I think I would have snapped. I was asked if I believe in chem trails (short answer is no. 25 years of experience on aircraft and a passing familiarity with how airborne chemical and biological weapons are deployed says no, its a stupid conspiracy theory). I was told that the local cathedral had to have been built with some technology the ancient had that we aren't being told about, lots of stuff like that.

None of which was what really p**sed me off. Having OCD, if I, or someone else makes a plan I do my best to stick to it. They'd made a very detailed plan to get to see everything they wanted with no lassitude for anything running over or late.

Or stopping for y'know food.

Then they would simultaneously want to move on to stick to schedule while still constantly stopping for photos then complaining they were running late. That is the part that would endlessly irk me and get my OCD screaming for vengeance. Why isn't OCD labelled CDO anyway? We visited Culloden Battlefield which even though it is just down the road, I have never visited before. It was a lot busier than we expected and one of the memorial stones was roped off because they are the clan in Outland and everyone wants to touch or, or sit on it. I don't mind people going to see battlefields, but when busloads of tourists turn up, it just feels disrespectful to me. Maybe that is just a me thing, but I don't like it. They said the highlight of their holiday was seeing Elgin Cathedral and they are already planning a return visit.

These days it would be Uber or Lift, albeit, for copyright reasons, they'd hafta make up some corny name for an ambiguous ride sharing service....

Thus, a more accurate title would be, "Kinda Like A Taxi Driving Guy".........

Just my ADHD talkin'....

haha, that makes a lot of sense now I think back to some of them...
