• apparently I'm still disabled
  
  • in that I'm pretty sure the reason I'm this floppy and useless is that I am having a fatigue flare because I have been doing way too much
  
  
• also injera are still difficult
  
• today I have harvested
  
  • another 2.6kg of tomatoes
    
  • two tiny cucumbers (from an outside vine)
    
  • a fig (that had started to be nibbled by The Birds, boo hiss)
  
  
• I am entirely over the applications process for the place I'm hoping to do the level 2 cert. in counselling skills
  
  • SMS this morning: "We are open for you to attend adn complete your enrolment. You will need to bring your residency documents (passport) including any payslip or benefit letters."
    
  • no i am not going in in person. what even.
    
  • on the upside, i already know the website has a File Upload Section
    
  • okay so I log in
    
  • above the dropdown: "You can upload the following file types: Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and images (.DOC; .DOCX; .XLS; .XLSX; .PDF; .TXT; .JPG; .GIF; .BMP; .TIFF; .PPT; .RTF; .PNG; .FPX; .PCD)."
    
  • within the dropdown: "(Please note we only accept .jpg file types)"
    
  • and of course they want the proof-of-benefits to be dated within the last three months
    
  • which means I need to hassle the sodding DWP to send me a statement of entitlement
    
  • even though my awards are all good for well beyond the duration of the course
    
  • where if they'd asked me for this documentation, in, like, June or even early July I'd have been able to supply it no problem
    
  • so that's. tedious.
    
  • the most relevant qualification certificate I have is probably in fact the MA (Cantab) which is a fake degree but okay I suppose I'll scan that in tomorrow
    
  • (unless I'm feeling less grumpy by then in which case they can get the real degree certificates)
  
  
• okay okay okay i'm not going to get any less knackered by continuing to sit on the sofa and stare into space, schlepping off to bed it is, fiiiiiiine
