Well. it's a Friday & it's pretty horrid outside !! It can't make up it's mind if it wants to rain or rain even harder !! Crazy really, yesterday was such a warm, sunny day - never mind... it's warm & dry in here, so that's where I intend staying for the rest of the day !!
The family are all back under one roof. J came home from Cardiff & when I asked him what his plans were/are - well, he says he is staying here for the time being.... good choice sunshine !! Going for a visit is one thing, up & moving house is something all together - his choice tho' !!
ME is out at Uni at the moment - something about a study thing at the campus library.....she has already started her third year classes & the today is all about showing them where the various things are, that they will need to complete the year !! Well, that's what I think it is - I sort of lost the plot someways thru' the explanation !!
B bless her, is once again out at the gym - some sort of fitness class that happens over the lunchtime... again, it's all been explained to me, but.......... My memory is really shot at the moment !! So, I look interested when people explain things to me - but underneath.........! Hopefully, I'll have some answers from the CT scan I had a couple of weeks back. I'm working on the assumption that "no news is good news" - if there was a major problem, I'm sure by now I would of heard about it all !!
So, I'm here - typing these words & listening to a 'new' Dio Cd.... It's the soundtrack to 'Evil or Divine - Live In New York' DVD that I got some time ago. It's really a good listen, tho' there are some (not quite so good) edits on it - sort of spoils the flow of the thing. Still, it's good & will be added to the collection very shortly....
It's just coming to an end & very soon Roky Erickson's 'True Love Cast Out All Evil' will start. I have to return it to the library on Monday of next week - so, I'm playing it for all it's worth, while I still have it here with me !! At some point, I'll find a copy for myself - just haven't looked for it yet...... maybe next month !!
I love the lyric "Electricity hammered me, thru' my head....until nothing at all" A big reference to how he was locked away for all those years & given - sorry - forced to have electric shock treatment !! Read about this guy - he really was treated unfairly........ that's not just my opinion !! It's the sort of stuff Hollywood would churn out & get paid millions for it - Erickson.... well - read for yourself !!
Yesterday - after a quick trip into town.... I really finished up the hall/landing painting - and by that I mean, I ain't doing anymore to it !! Anything that I've missed now - well.... it's going to stay missed !! There are only so many times I can 'touch up' bits that have been marked since the original paint was put on !! Sure, the paint is still here in the house - until I finish the bathroom.... but, if anyone clips - scratches - marks it in anyway at all, it is staying the way it is !! I can't keep going back over it time after time - well, I could - but, I'm not going to.... it is finished !! The curtains are back up - the various pictures & things are hanging & that's it folks !! So, that's 2 bedrooms & the hall/landing done.... I'll try & get on with the bathroom & I hope that will be it - tho' I suspect the kitchen might come up in conversation at some point !! We'll see..........
For today tho' - I'm having a rest.... I simply could not sleep last night !! I spent several hours sat on the edge of the bed !! The main problem being that, every time I lay flat (on the bed) - someone started putting pins in their 'voodoo doll' of yours truly & the pain just got worse & worse !!
So, about 2.30am I took some morphine for some of the pain & at about 4am, well - I took some painkilling tablets.... all that did was make me feel sleepy, but didn't really do much for the pain when I tried to lay flat !! Anyhooo, B woke up about 6am, realised I was having problems and - as I had taken pain killers - gave me a small sleeping tablet to give me a few hours sleep........ that one worked !! I woke up about
10am. I felt like I had been run over by a bus, stiff & kind of aching - but at least I got some sleep !!
The plan today, is really to take it very easy. No rushing about, no painting - just a quiet sit down - play some music & watch a DVD, maybe later...... a quiet day !! If ever there such a thing in this home of ours with the music blasting out !!
The music of the moment is now Rush - from their 'Snakes & Arrows' tour, a couple or so years back.... I needed to speed things up a bit - Mr Erickson is very good - but I needed something with a "beat" to it for a while !!
Oh yes -when we were in town yesterday - we saw a lady from Church. She said her Son had been poorly with a "belly ache". Poetic justice really - he shouldn't of stuffed himself full of lollipops on Sunday !! If he had only taken the one for himself & not taken the 5 we saw him with - well........ poetic justice, as I say !!
For now, I must away - thanks for reading !!
Bye Bye
