Title Edited Text

The hospital appointment was at 1:15, so I spent the morning trying to convince myself the dizziness wasn't going to make me keel over. I messaged John Taylor while I waited, told him about Mum's thyroid – they're monitoring it every six months, it's not serious – but the cut from the biopsy is deep and I'm worried it might be infected. I invited him to do ours at TLC. He said 'soon' and mentioned he'd be chopping trees for a friend. I told him I couldn't visit because of the appointment. He understood.

The appointment itself was quick. They checked me over, didn't say much, but I came away feeling a bit better. On the way back I paid John's bill – I don't even know what it was exactly, but it's done. Got home late, and Suzana texted to check I was all right. I said I was feeling better, which was mostly true.

The long thread today was with Deimantė. She finished at Dinnington around half two, and the plan was to meet there – I'd fix her brake light, we'd buy car liquids and then go to Tesco for duck, wine, fruit. She was exhausted, said her tooth was bothering her again, and she was stressed about rent and a £150 insurance payment that's due. She's decided to take a week off in three weeks, just to get a break. I know that feeling. We left it as 'we'll meet when you're done', but I'm not sure if we actually got there – it was one of those plans that hangs in the air.

Meanwhile, Anna's party is coming up and Suzana's been on it all day. Washing the patio, getting bread, helium balloon, tidying the bedroom, and we've been worrying about whether gymnastics-themed presents are going to land. Suzana said the Costco fruit platter was sold out. She also said Santander was already covered, which was a relief. She said she was achy and needed an early night. I told her to go to bed. There was also the usual back-and-forth about Pedro – he didn't want to go to soft play, but we figured we'd send a quick comment anyway, because 'it only takes ten seconds' and Pedro won't care either way.

Later there was a voice note that escalated – something about prayer carpets in a Polish space. One voice kept saying 'Here is Poland', and told the other to pray at a church or temple instead. I don't know if I was supposed to hear it, but it's stayed with me. There was also a poem about a great-grandfather, Germany, Wales, the sea, working oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico – that kind of thing. I don't know who wrote it, but it felt like someone digging through their own history.

Underneath it all, the paperwork won't let go. Roger wanted a response finished quickly – a federal statement, a draft, and a £600 payment. I'd done two drafts already. Then there was Matt West's statement, which included a COVID loan, and the balance was higher than expected. Some money's unaccounted for, and I can't quite make it add up.

I'm in bed now, sore and tired. Anna's party is in a few days. I keep thinking about that prayer-carpet argument, and that poem, and the numbers that don't match. But at least the appointment's done, and John said 'soon'.
