One of the last minute things Leftwing Idiot and I had to do before Christmas was go to the chemist to pick up my prescription so I have enough medication for the holidays.
Normally the surgery send my prescription direct to the pharmacist to make things easier, but this time there’d been some miscommunication between the two which meant I had to wait in the chemist’s much longer than I’d expected.…
Along with Bunny, Leftwing Idiot and his dad, I went to get some stuff for the Castle from a large DIY store the other day. As we went through the automatic doors I ticced, “Welcome to Hell.”
It wasn’t too hellish, but even so, while we were there I had a ‘ticcing fit’ in the middle of an aisle.…
A few days ago I wrote about my motto, “Changing the world one tic at a time.” I had a really good example of what this means yesterday when I called a supermarket helpline because of an incorrect delivery. Confusingly, what they hadn’t sent were the biscuits I’d ordered.…
I’ve had a lovely day. I’d planned to spend it packing up the lair, boring but necessary. However it turned into a blissful afternoon and evening hanging out with my friends.
Laura texted to ask if I was up for joining her, Hannah, Emma and Emma’s sister Lucy for a wander round Borough Market, a Saturday food market near here.…
NOSI, stands for Non-Obscene Socially Inappropriate behaviour. This might be making remarks about someone’s height or weight for example. It can be a feature of Tourettes although it’s not something that’s generally a problem for me.
This evening I encountered a shopkeeper whose comments would definitely come into the NOSI category, although as far as I’m aware there was no neurological explanation and he was just being rude.…
I went shopping earlier to get a dress for Fat Sister’s wedding. While I was browsing I heard someone calling my name. It was my friend Hannah – she greeted me enthusiastically and said, “I heard the ‘biscuits’ and knew it was you.”
I made another trip to the Apple Store this morning because my computer needs repairing. I handed it over to one of the geniuses to fix. They gave me an agreement to sign, and while I did this I ticced “South Park says no!”…
For the last couple of weeks my phone’s been playing up, I met Leftwing Idiot in town earlier and together we went to the Apple store to get it sorted out. Ruth had to do the same thing a couple of weeks ago and had a long, unpleasant wait.…
Leftwing Idiot and I headed to East London last night to meet Alice and her friends to see in the New Year. On our way, a middle-aged man sitting opposite us on the bus struck up a conversation about Tourettes. At one point he said, “You’re an attractive girl, if you can see through all the stuff.…
Leftwing Idiot and I went out this afternoon to pick up a few last minute Christmas presents. When we went into a small bookshop I was ticcing a “Hu” noise, and the woman at the till tittered and said, ‘Tu,tu,tu’ back.…
