I understand why you half heartedly did the form for me. You had your own reputation to keep at work. I wasn't deserved of a glowing reference. I had to prove myself to get back on track. I had been in the psychiatric ward, after all. Your brother wasn't that jovial towards you either. But he didn't say nice things about anyone, I would say all the time.
Even though I had been unwell and needed to rest I kept my brain working by running and reading. I didn't watch a lot of morning tv, just a little at lunch.
