had the urge to come on here a type a thought, a memory if you will, that just came to me during an episode of breaking bad, the one where Gale is openning the packages of the lab they are setting up with Gus and Victor and he says 'it's just like christmas!'....reminded me of a time about 14-15 years ago when i went and 'travelled' to do a bit of work for a sister company of an autistic spevctrum organisation which a friend of the family was a director for....i had worked for them between stints of travelling to Goa when i lived in Surrey before moving to Cornwall....i had gotten excited about the prospect of a position openning back up in Surrey so i could go back and work for them again, this was exciting as all my friends lived in Surrey and i missed them...i even had hopes of this being the beginning of perhaps me moving back to Surrey and having a job and getting a place to live back up there....on awaiting a phone call from them....i got no call and ended up in tears of dissappointment so my Mum phoned our family friend and later that evening another director (friend of our family friend) phoned me to suggest me 'helping out' in Devon which is about an hours drive (i don't drive but my Mum did).....he mentionned that they had bought a 'unit' that was a hotel that i could stay at....you see what they did was look after autistic people in a 'home like setting'...they would buy houses of various size and adapt them to 'safely' house the autistic people....many of which were 'non verbal' and 'highly challenging'...which is a polite way of saying...prone to acts of spontaneous violence....so this , although wasn't going to be my exciting move back to Surrey to see my friends.....was still a good way of earning money....i would be staying at a big empty hotel...by myself....and would be collected and dropped off back to said abode at the start and end of each shift by appointed staff members....hey sounds fab huh!?? so i agree.....i'd never really been to Devon....i'd be staying on 'the english riviera' as its known for its beautiful setting and climate (????) and just a stones throw from the famous 'Fawlty Towers' (there is actually a hotel there where the series was filmed)...but you'd have to have been a super human throwing the stone...but you get my drift.
....So on arriving there...me and Mum have a little walk round the seaside town and then find lots of charity shops....we were suckers for charity shops and there were a plenty!!.....we then find the hotel and there is a staff member there to welcome me....he's bringing lots of boxes in and putting them down in the gigantic hallway......all brand new appliances of all kinds...like a toaster, a hoover, cutlery, kettle etc....it seemed...like it was for Gale....just like christmas!!!...anyway...i don't really know where i was going with this....and my daughter has come downstairs
.....also my daughter had also mentionned how she woke and heard slience then just a bunch of tapping....of the computer keyboard...ie...me typing.....she said she's happy that i'm getting up early (again)...i forgot earlier to take into account the fact the clocks had gone back...and i had not set my clock back so its an hour earlier than i said in my earlier blog...so i got up round 6ish...and now its 8ish....we then had a little chat about what i used to do for the 6 years when i always got up early and what had happenned 3 years ago when they had to call 999 cos i had a drug induced psychosis....i explained that it wasn't 'drugs' like 'street drugs' that they were substances i bought online and i could no longer get what i had been taking for 6 years.....so i took pot-luck and bought a combination of substances that had that unwarranted effect on me.....thus leaving me to throw them out......
so i begin on one point and end on a different one altogether
but i score 0 points
my cat is darting around like a nutter....perhaps if i strip my clothes off in the street scream at the top of my voice....run and knock on all the doors and skip wildly round in the middle of the street with my cat following me....we both dart wildly about the street together like total nutters.....i score 6 points
