Everything would be well ...

... if I didn't get these spells of depression or whatever it is. I get up in the morning, looking forward to the day and then at some point inertia settles in. I can't move, I can't do anything, I can't motivate myself and I just veg the day away. And then I get angry with myself for doing that. No crying episodes though, so it probably isn't depression just laziness??

Pierrot has recovered well. He is still limping and had had lead walks until yesterday which pissed him off. All these nice smells around ... and not allowed to investigate or chase. Bad mum not letting him off the lead!!! Yesterday afternoon I then gave him his first bit of off-lead exercise. Only 5 minutes mind, but he has cheered up since. We have just been out again and he was running free for about 15 minutes. Luckily he doesn't go very far at the moment and recall isn't a problem. The moment I say: "Here!", he sits beside me. I wish he had done that on Saturday. He has got a real fright of cars still. The moment we are on the road, him ONLY walking on the inside since the accident, and he hears a car he stops and eyes it up suspiciously. Then waits until it has passed. Perish the thought, that a bus or lorry would approach, he dashes into the nearest driveway and waits there. In a way I am glad he has respect of vehicles now, but this is going to make walking quite awkward for a while. If it was just him, it wouldn't be so bad, but having his lead in one hand, Isis' lead in the other, with him dashing one way and Isis dashing another ... well, I am sure you can imagine.

Still haven't heard from the job I have applied for. Deadline was last Friday, and I was really expecting to hear from them during the week. But dum-dee-dum ... nothing. I think I might write and email and enquire if they actually have received my application. It's a bit complicated with the postal strike anyway, something that was posted on 8th October, did actually get here on the 20th. I hope the employers take that into account, although I have also emailed them my form. I suppose I just have to be patient!
