   @Tim_McTuffty
   Sorry to hear that you've had such a bad day...subjectively speaking. I can relate.

   However, a boiler that is "still going strong" aged 13, I'd still say that was an extraordinary piece of good luck.
   I've lost 2 in 2 decades.

   Take care! Tomorrow is Friday. 😀

     Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 341 , Thursday 03/10/2024

     09:17 Once again before the morning has barely begun I’m drained to the point of uselessness. Cleaning up after others is soul destroying I don’t know how parents cope!
     Tell you one thing tho gout is a powerful deterrent from turning to drink! The thought of my foot blowing up to twice its size & the pain levels it causes will keep me with the recommended limits for life.

     I’ve gotta go get my covid & flu jabs in a little while. The next few days will be uncomfortable as I get past the side effects.
     Heck first time I’ve had the jab outside a GPs surgery so many people in such a small space!
     All these forms!

     GP again next time!

     I txted the plumber to book the annual service for the CH boiler while I was waiting to be stabbed & he called me just as I got home to say he had had a cancellation & was this afternoon ok!
     So I went into mild panic mode to make sure that everything was ready for him.
     Out boiler is a 13 year old Valiant that is still going strong (touch wood!) but it did need some extra TLC this time so he’s back Monday with parts & a bill that made Mrs S blanche!

     I went wild & tried an alt PSU on the CCTV cameras that were playing up - it is a PSU issue, so tomorrow or more likely when I’ve recovered from the Covid jab side effects, I’ll finish the job & tidy the cables etc.
     
     Final Thoughts.

     We’re on the depression rollercoaster again, one day I may be able to get off for good.

     I have been triggered something rotten today, all the usual home stuff, the people issues while getting my jab & then the unexpected extra work required on the boiler. I came very close to one of the more extreme forms of coping strategy today but have been saved by a last minute donut!

     Closing in on a year of blogging, who’d a thunk.

     Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
