So, what to write about ? Well, we have an old saying... "You wait an hour for a bus to come along & then two come at once " !! I've been waiting & waiting for my next surgeries to happen - in one case, over a year & - guess what..... two are going to happen this week !! Honestly - it could not of worked out any better, had I wished really hard !!
I've known for a week now about my implant surgery - which will happen on Friday...... but, this morning the telephone rang & I'm going into the hospital on Wednesday to have my mouth surgery !! Brilliant !! I can get both things out the way & try to re-build from there......... well good !! Yippeeeeeeee !!
It probably seems dumb to be so happy about going into hospital - but, this will sort out so many problems, I can't wait to have done with it - I repeat.... Yippeeeeeeeeee !!!!
Anyhoooooo - that's two days from now.... what to do in the mean time ? I know, play music really loud & just chill out, get my things in order - so B does not have to worry about anything (while I'm away) & - oh, I've already mentioned.... play music really really loud !!
As for this moment - there is no music playing - I'm recording a TV show & then putting something on to listen to..... I'm not sure what. But, first I have to do the recording.
The family are out & about - except J, who is upstairs keeping an eye on me....... ME is at Uni placement (not sure quite where today) & My Dearest Wife & Friend, B... well, she has gone into town & then onto the gym. I could of gone into town & then come home... but, it made more sense for her to do the town & gym in one trip. It'll save time & petrol !!
Last week, I felt like I was going "stir crazy" - staying at home - but, I didn't really feel like going out today. I had quite a good night, but..... I just wanted to stay in the house. There are times, going out "upsets" me.... I'm not feeling that way today - I'm feeling pretty good actually - but, I didn't want to go into town, just in case I had a problem !! May not make too much sense, but.........
We had a great weekend..... we went to Church yesterday & that was very good. President B was attending from Bristol & his wife, his daughter + his good self, gave us some really wise words. It was great to hear from them !!
I enjoy Church.... I do agree with B - some of the people there are very "over the top", I'm not sure how else to put it ..... Like yesterday, I had at least four people come up to me, asking (quite forcefully) where I had been the last few weeks !! I did tell one of them, that I was surprised that nobody had 'phoned B - to ask if she needed any help, looking after me !!
They just don't "get it" sometimes - they live in their own little Worlds & forget to realise, that ... yes, they are Christians & they do care (in their own little ways) about what happens..... but, there is more to our lives than reading the Bible & The Book Of Mormon....... they just don't seem to understand, they just don't "get it" as I said !!
A case in point.... as we were leaving, one lady came up to B to talk about the chance of B helping to do some private cleaning. B has already told her, over the 'phone that - well.... that is kind of "hard" to do it & that, if she did do it, she cannot accept any payment. Yet, she still asked B if there was anyway she could help - even if she didn't want paying !!
It really does p**s me off at times..... It's not that B doesn't want to help, it's not because she doesn't want any payment - she said no, because of her time restraints, looking after me & having a small private life for herself !! Oh well..... never mind..... we'll see if anybody phones B while in hospital this time around !! I doubt it...... but, we'll see !!
Ok - the music of the moment is Whitesnake's 'Forevermore' album... it came out earlier this year & altho' it's a bit.... too 'heavy' at times, too much like you would expect from a heavy rock band, it's an Ok sort of album. Not my favourite by them, but it's Ok !! I want to play it all the ways thru' just to give it a better listen........
I mentioned a computer programme I have here - I've been trying to make it 'work' for far too many years & only over the last week or 2 have managed to 'understand' it (if that's the right phrase !).... Anyhoooo, I was 'playing' with it (that's certainly the right phrase) & I found out how to import pictures !! So, that might not sound like a big deal, but...... well, I can now do the Zeppelin bootleg list, with pictures of the Cd sleeves to add another 'plus' to the list of tracks & what have you !!
It will take me a very long time to do all the Cd's, the way I want to do them &, to be honest, I may never finish it - but, when I'm gone.... well, it'll make things easier for B to sort out !! I have a good friend who will come in & help B sort out the Zeppelin 'boots' - some of which are now pretty rare, so - she'll need advice on them at some point. We'll see how it goes........ hopefully she won't burn them, as she keeps joking she will !!
It's just my own little collection.... I know I could sell them, but..... I simply don't want to !! Plus, selling them etc etc is illegal, & I do not want all the rubbish that comes with that !!
B has been telling me to order a book, another Civil War thing by, Geoffrey C. Ward. I've had it out of the library for a month or two now & should take it back really..... but, it's been a good read. Anyhooooo, B says, as I've liked it so much, I should buy a copy for myself - that kind of makes sense, but a new copy is £25 & that bit doesn't make any sense to me.... we can use the money on other, more 'needed' things around the house !! Maybe one day - but not for a long while.........
Ok - it's fast approaching 1pm & I must away..... I've not got any plans for this afternoon, so I'll probably watch a DVD or (as normal) play some more music - now, that sounds like a plan to me !!
Bye Bye
