Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-1-2023 — New Mexico.

6th Mexico, 2023: New Mexico.

Right … Fridays … a day where I might get a chance to sit down with a film.

Or a TV show.

I’m very aware I’ve said that at least once, this week.

We’ll just have to see.

~≈📺≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I had a meeting, yesterday: with my Job Centre work coach.

Discussing my ongoing appeal for PIP/Limited Capacity to Work/Employment Support Allowance/whatever it’s called this week was obviously a feature.

The net result of that discussion?

Was my coach suggesting I double check my emails.

I should have a link to create an account on the Court services site: one that would let me track proceedings.

I checked my emails when I got home.

I had the email … but the link had expired.

So … ?   I emailed back: to ask what I could do.

I’m not expecting a reply: not just yet.

But, hopefully?

I’ll hear something: soon.
