I've picked up a virus which is primarily working its way from my boxes of tissues! I had a dinner invite for Xmas Day but cancelled as no way I want to infect anyone. I was supposed to be out Xmas Eve and had chosen my outfit but that didn't happen either. Oh well!
The same happened 2 years ago, and many times in the past, so I should be used to it!

I think my mojo is back, I've managed to crank out nearly 4000 words in about sixteen hours, and it's the first new UG story for a few years! This will form a part of UG5 when that's finished (it does exist) but that will have to follow the Tammy story that's in progress. Oh, and I want to do another Joannie Jet story.

I'm going to blame that mojo for stealing all my time!

Far too many reasons have stopped my writing, and for Tammy that's been 2 years. The good news is that I'm currently writing the follow-on from Rank Stupidity after overcoming a story continuity blockage.

No promises ... but the working title of the new story is Flying High.

On Wednesday of this week (tomorrow in my timezone) I will become homeless. My landlords have sold the property I have spent the past 8 years in and served me with a no-fault eviction order 2+ months ago. Quite separately my daughter decided to leave after 14 years with me, including her transition from girl to young woman. I, myself, transitioned almost 2 years ago after a long gestation.

Some will already be aware of this much.

My biggest issue has been the lack of affordable housing near me. I also needed to downsize drastically.

The current Tammy series, Rank Stupidity, wrapped up a few days ago , and although it did lead into Snowfall's Butterflies, Asphalt & Insanity there are a few unresolved storylines!

It's been and up & down week, and it was only Thursday when I received the latest news from the local NHS complaints office:

"Your complaint and the response from the practice, together with your recent emails is currently undergoing an independent clinical review. We will of course let you know once this has been completed."

So all I can now do is wait.

I have asked, several times, for a change of GP but I've heard nothing about it as yet - that doesn't have to depend on the complaint(s) but I suspect they have linked the request with the original complaint.

Ever since my name & gender change was official, in March of this year, I have been informing various folk officially of the change. One of those was the Tavistock & Portman GIC Trust in London. When I received a "who are you" back in May I had to let them have my old and new NHS registration numbers, but they couldn't find me. Most recently I sent them the referral documentation.
