Today was long
but productive, even if was filled predominantly with admin.
What pleased me
most was I managed to do a little work on some material that, while brief, felt
promising; at least I seem to be slowly and gently heading in the right
direction with it. I’m trying to do just the right amount of tinkering with ideas
without working for so long I become stale and frazzled with it, which suits my
currently slightly battle-worn brain.
My main mission
today was to try and settle an issue regarding medication that had been
prescribed to me by the specialist I saw about my constant dizziness a few weeks ago, which ran
out yesterday, but I couldn’t get a repeat because the write-up for my
appointment hadn’t been forwarded to my GP yet and I had no clear record of
what had taken place. While all parties concerned were extremely helpful it
still took two phone calls to the hospital where I had my appointment, two calls to
111 to seek authorization for an emergency supply of tablets, two trips to the
pharmacist and one to my GP; I came out from all of this more dizzy then when I
started, which wasn't my intention.
On top of this, I
sent supporting copy for each of our Hitchin Mostly Comedy Festival dates to
the Hitchin Festival Box Office, spoke to a leaflet distributer about booking a
door-to-door flyer delivery to promote our St Albans dates, spoke to Bobby
Davro twice on the phone (as you do) to try and book him as a replacement act
for one of those dates - and visited the Sun to discuss potentially moving a
show to a different date due to a change in an act's availability. There was probably
other stuff I did too, but off the top of my head, I can’t remember it. At
least I came out the other side with the majority of this donkey-work sorted,
with a little material for Edinburgh to show for it too.
