Well, one week from today & my next surgery will be out of the way - done & dusted, all behind me (no pun intended) and if all has gone well...... I'll either be home or on my ways home from the hospital !! I intend holding my consultant to his word - that I will be allowed home the same day !! We'll see..... if I have to stay in hospital longer, well...... we'll see how it goes !!
Anyhoooooo - that's next Friday... at the end of another week & month - wow, this year is moving sooooo fast, I can't keep up with it !! Never mind..... I'm sure my body will catch up with the rest of me at some point - even if my brain is nowhere to be seen !!
Ok - earlier today, while I was in bed asleep... well, the lady from the Government 'phoned up to sort out the "getting back into work" thing I mentioned a few days ago....... it seems like I have to fill out some kind of form & then, maybe, have a full blown medical !! How crazy is that !! I still think they get the people that are easy to grab..... the ones who are out there, who are not sick - well, they know are the ways to get out of this...... we'll see how it goes !!
Yesterday I had to see my Dr - the local guy in the village - & I told him about the "work" thing..... even he seemed surprised about it. So, that's a kind of interesting view from one of my medic's !! He says it "ain't going to happen".... so, I'll see how things go.... won't we !! Time will tell folks...... I guess....
The family are here abouts, all except B who is at the gym. She just called to get her membership number.... the card was here on the fireplace !! She'll be home in about 2 hours I guess.... ME is behind, drying the dishes that J has just washed. One dries, one washes - it's a good system really...... well, it works for us !!
I've had a funny couple of days - I've felt really washed out for most of the time - hence I've not done too much to entertain myself !! The problem is really, a kind of knock on effect - I don't sleep very well at night & hence the days get very tiring.... it's something I've got used to over the years - but...... it really does get to me after a while !!
Then of course, on the plus side.... about once a week, I sleep really deeply, to catch up on myself !! It's a living I guess - but I could really do with-out it at times !! Oh well.......
The music of the moment is U2's 'Achtung Baby'.... I've stuck 2 tapes in the machine - this one & their 'Zooropa' album. This way, I can play them back to back over the rest of the evening. I could of used the Cd's - but I thought I would give the tapes a play for a change !! I've been playing Cd's all day, so the machine could do with a break..... cool it down a bit !!
I think these are probably 2 of my favourite U2 albums - tho' I do like their 'live' stuff..... I wish they would release more, at some point. They do so many 'live' shows, I would of like a few more albums from them, along the ways !! I've yet to watch their Pilton show from earlier in the year & I've had it for months now !! I'm not even sure where it is at the moment !!
Earlier I was playing Iced Earth's 'Live In Athens' 3 Cd set - I don't think B thought too much of it.... maybe a little too heavy for her taste !! I could of gone to the local Art Centre tonight to see a band I wrote about a while back.... I used to know the organist - but, I gave up on that idea a few hours ago. B would of taken me, I just didn't feel up to it tonight !! Maybe next time around.... we'll see....
As for the weekend - well..... hopefully we'll get to Church on Sunday !! It'll be my last chance before the surgery and, as I don't really know how I'll feel next weekend, I would like to go this Sunday !! I really miss going & I have to rely on B to take me - but, all in all - if I can't make it.... well, I'll do my best !!
It'll soon be Conference time again - I look forward to that, it's really good to watch & hear.... if you can, check it out for yourself !!
As for the rest of the weekend - well, I need to go into town tomorrow - really, if nothing else, for the ride 'outside'.... I stay indoors too often really... it's nobody's fault - just mine.... I find it hard to go out sometimes !! I can't stand the crowds of people !! But, I need to get out - I'm going stir crazy here at the moment !!
At some point, over the coming couple of days, I will start doing the Cd's of 'Woodstock'..... I'm all ready to do it, got the DVD, got the Cd's - now all I need is the time, to sit down & do the recording !! I'm really looking forward to it - it's something I've thought about for - well, years really.... ever since I saw the film in the picture house, when it first came out. I wanted a copy of it then - so, all these years later, I finally get to do it !!
Yep, I know I could put the DVD in & listen to the soundtrack that way - but, where is the fun in that ? I much prefer to listen to Cd's anytime.... Besides, the DVD is not going anywhere !! I'll see how I get on !!
Ok - that's it for today..... I must away to do other things !! For now, until next time.....
Bye Bye
