Moving forward.....

Feeling a little less stressed now. I think a good night's sleep helped. I went to bed at 10.30, and although I was awake again at 4.30 and didn't get back to sleep until after 6am I feel far more rested than I have in ages.

It also helps that I now have someone to live in the house while I'm away. She's a friend of a friend who i've known for a while but never really spoken to much, and the timing is perfect for her. She plans to move in on Monday, and from the chat we had last night I think we're going to get on really well. Saw some friends last night who just made me feel better about the whole situation as well - it's nice to know there are still people there and will still be there if I come back.

A little worried now about my stomach. I've been in pain now for the last 4 days, and it's been getting steadily worse. I suspect my ulcer is playing up again, but really hope thats not the case. Got a doctors appt this afternoon.

Booked in for a week in a guesthouse in Hong Kong.....extremely good rates, £131.00 - for 7 nights, only £18 per night!! if it's any good then I'll extend my stay there. I don't have any expectations though. A bed, access to a toilet/shower and a place to lock my stuff up is all I need.
