It's been a good day - nice & bright, tho' the day started off cold... cold enough for the heating to click on !! I've set it lower now, so - no more warm mornings, burning gas, for a while !! Never mind.......
Ok, so it's a Tuesday - about 5.45pm local time here in the wilds of England...... B has gone out, J is still in Southampton someplace (home tomorrow) & ME has been given the 'task' of looking after me for an hour - I'll try and be good for her..... she might be training to be a nurse, but I don't really want to put her 'skills' to the test just yet !!
Yesterday I spent quite a while painting a wall in J's room - only to find today it needed yet another coat !! So that was 4 in total !! I think there might be a gallon of paint on that one wall - no, only joking - just feels that ways !! Anyways, I finished that bit earlier - so when the paint is done, we'll move the furniture back in place & start another bit - that should be easier, as it's the window wall & won't take quite so much work... I hope !! Oh well.....
This morning, sort of, started badly for me.... I was in a bit of a pickle over pain & felt really down in the dumps - I get that ways sometimes. I think sometimes, all I want to do is sleep & hope when I wake up, that it's all been a dream !! BUT, my Wife & Dearest Friend was there for me & pulled me thru' it - bless her !!
When I was doing my degree, in statistics, we had a little joke that the hardest equation was "1 plus 1".... B makes that equation so simple & it really helps, when things are 'bad' that she is there for me - no matter what a pain I am to be with at times !!
Just thought of something - last Monday (a week ago) while I was on my ways to hospital, we stopped off in Taunton & killed some time window shopping. well, we were going down the high street - away from the white park gates (for those who know it) & a voice spoke to us - it was my old teacher from college !! We hadn't seen him for a while - just to show how long, he didn't know I was in a wheel chair - but, he saw us & took the time to speak, which was good of him !!
Right, the music of the moment is Foo Fighters 'Live In Hyde Park' - from a few years ago. It's a bootleg, but well worth a listen to - from their DVD of the same name. I've been playing all sorts today - but this is on at the moment. Thanks for the music, it keeps me from going completely crazy !!
B helped me last night to clear a bit more space for Cds on one of the shelves - so, if I ever get around to sorting them out A-Z - I should have a bit more room for them... never be enough room, but we'll try !! I'm still working my ways thru' all the discs - about another 500 to go - it's been a bit slower this week... but, I'm getting there !! The first part was easy, because most of them were already in some sort of order - this past few hundred has been a bit harder.... never mind !! I'll get there eventually, then it'll be easier for B to sort out, down the line.
One of our cats has been away all day & just came in... so I put some food down for him. Problem, the oldest (laziest) cat we have has just pushed him out the ways & eaten it, right from under his nose !! Mean or what !!
I was quite upset - Sunday & yesterday - about Church, but today I feel a little happier on the subject.... well, at the moment I am - this morning it was still biting at me a bit !! I will stay away for a while tho' - try & sort myself out, as regards my full feeling on the subject. I'm not the best example of a Christian, but sometimes I feel like the whole thing is too much to handle !! I guess we all have down times, but..... I hope after the next couple of visits to the hospital I'll be a happier bunny !!
I should hear from the consultant this week, maybe with a date for my next surgery - that will give me something to work towards & give us, part of. our lives back. We manage, there are people worse off & I moan too much - but, it is kind of hard. It's been 10 years nearly since I was first taken ill & I'm nearly up to
+ 5, so life isn't too bad - besides - no matter how much time we have on God's planet in the heavens, it would never be enough !! As Russel Wallace once said, there is a line there someplace - I've just not come to it yet - but when I do, I know I've sorted everything out as best I can for B & the guys !! Oh well......
I must away - get ready for bed !!
Bye Bye
