Well - it's a Sunday & for the second week in a row, we've missed Church..... for this I expect to go to hell, well - at least in the eyes of some of our congregation !! Least it'll be warm there + I understand, from all I've been told over the years, that heavy metal is played 24 hours a day..... sounds a bit like this place !!
No really !! The last time we went, I stood up & gave my Testimony - I actually finished reading The Book of Mormon in front of the people I call 'friends'..... only to be moaned at for the way I did it !! I've probably said all this before, so read a previous posting.
So last week, even tho' I wasn't well enough to attend, I really did not feel like I wanted to go...... I'm probably an 'evil' person for thinking that - but !! Today is our Conference in Bristol & I'm certainly not well enough for that trip - I couldn't handle a 10 mile trip, let alone a 100 mile outing !! Oh well, we'll see what happens next week..... time will tell !
OK, at the moment it's quite a nice day..... there is a bit of mist out over the sea, but here the sun is out. Our car is still covered in ice, so it must of been cold last night - well, I know it was cold last night. I was up & about until 2.45 this morning & I cold feel the temperature dropping on my walk-abouts !! Last night was not a good one for me - the sooner I get the 2 operations out the way, the happier I'll feel !!
I'm seeing my GP at some point this week, so I'll see if he can find out what is going on. For those new to these words - I had 2 operations in August as a prelim to a 3rd, much bigger, operation...... well, that was August & since then I've heard nothing, other than I'm waiting on 'funding'. IF anyone says that our new government are not hitting the front line NHS - well............ Never mind, I would much rather wait & let someone who needs it have my 'funding' - I'm going to die anyways (at some point) - but, it would make my life a little easier !! Enough moaning.........
The music of the moment is The Animals 'Greatest Hits' - an old album that came out back in the late 60's. It's quite good, tho' I'm not 100% sure many of these tunes were 'hits'. As for the family....... J is upstairs & the ladies of the house are out shopping - well, that is to say ME is shopping, B has just been dragged along for the ride !! I expect B would of rather gone to Church - she hates shopping with a vengeance !!
As for my extended family, my brother, who told me exactly where I could go a couple of years back, has sent us a Christmas card WITH my name on it........ par for the course. The number of times he has told me to go to hell & he no longer has a brother etc etc only to try & get back on friendly terms a while later !!
Never mind, I consider myself a Christian & - as such - kind of forgiving.... besides, he's the one who told me where to go - I have nothing to be sorry for. Well, not in my eyes, to my way of thinking......
As for C - my son from my first marriage.... we have sent him another Christmas card - to the last address we had for him (in Canada) - whether he gets in touch is out of my hands. It's been about 18 months since my last contact with him, so - as with my brother - it's up to him.
Family or not, I'm toooooooo old & ugly to worry about other people...... I have my family here, I love them dearly & that means more to me than any other relative who thinks 'ill' of me !! Life goes on.........
The music of the moment is now an early Allman thing called 'Allmanjoys - The Early Allmans' or something like that - it came out in 1973 & this is the first time I've played it in years........ I've decided to work thru' all my old albums A-Z. Most of them are on tape, but it's going to be fun & should give me something to listen to over the coming year - or 2 !!
I must away....
Bye Bye
