Post 100: February 15th

I have finally sorted out the printer. I went into PC world in Newport. They were very helpful and printed out a copy of the invoice for me. Unfortunately the fax didn’t reach the recipient and my attempt to scan and send it as an email attachment also failed because the print was too small. I was beginning to sense circumstances conspiring against me but was aware I was being irrational. Now I have posted a copy and snail mail will hopefully be more reliable. At least the printer works now, though I am left with two full magenta photo inks which I can’t use!
Today I receive a letter in the post telling me my address is recorded as having no TV licence. I have been paying for one by Direct Debit for years. Seven years after moving to this address the powers that be decide they are not aware of my change of address. I am unable to sort it out online, as they need 30 days notice of a change of address. I am many years too late. When I try phoning I speak to a recorded voice who has trouble understanding anything at all. I think I got through to ‘it’ in the end, but have no way to veryify that other than a pre-recorded assurance they have updated their records. I really need to chill out and not let these hindrances get to me. My attempts to make a home made pizza in the new oven are far more successful. There is probably a message for me in that somewhere.
At least I have stopped shedding quite so much skin and the splits in my fingers are at last showing signs of healing. The thought of having to go through it all again fills me with dread so I try hard not to think about it.Drawing and 'calrin' a dog is more enjoyable....
