Very busy at work. Nice too. P heard that she is to go to Cambridge on Monday. Very pleased. I hardly dare hope! 1L.
Notes
Mum Worked for Mr Ashken and Mr Stephens
During this period, mum worked as part-time medical secretary for the private practice of two surgeons, Mr Ashken and Mr Stephens, see Chapter 121. This practice was based at 41 Newmarket Road. She worked all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and half day on Fridays. On this occasion, she noted that it was very busy and nice too.
Cambridge
P refers to my older sister Tricia (Patricia). She was in the process of applying for university, see Chapter 120. She had applied to Cambridge and heard from them that she should go to them for an interview on the coming Monday. Mum was very pleased. However, I find her reaction a little odd, but not very surprising (!), as it was focused on herself, how she was feeling and what she hoped for without really thinking about Tricia’ feelings and hopes.
Antidepressants
During this period, mum had had severe struggles with her mental health, suffering with depression and anxiety, see Chapter 116. She was on antidepressants. On this occasion, she took one tablet of long-acting amitryptilline (Lentizol, L).
