AC/DC & Shrek !!

Hi & "Hello" To All Of You.... How are you all doing this weekend ?!

I'm here on my own some - B has just gone out, to meet J - his train is due in an hour or so - & put in a bit of gym time.  ME is still here, but is going out in a short while, to spend the night at her boyfriend's house.  She'll be back at some point tomorrow - but, as she is working - it won't be until the evening I guess.  Oh well - as for me, I'm not going anywhere !!

The heating has been on for a couple of hours & I'm toasty here in our living (rec) room... I ain't going anywhere - it's tooooooo cold out side !!  I had enough, just waving B goodbye - I'm not that keen on going anywhere else !!

I'm thinking we better get our car in for a service session - the back light is playing up & with the dark nights, well...... it needs to be looked at !!  It's a brake light & that's worse, I guess - it's the sort of thing the police will pull cars over for !!

Right - it's been a very quiet day.  We've been sat here watching TV & just kicking back - doing very little !!  Tho' B has been doing some 'cross-stitching' (or what ever it's called)..... ME has been sat here doing Uni work - but, both have left me here typing now, nevermind !!

It's giving me time to play some more music.... at the moment it's, another, mix Cd thingy.  I put this one together almost exactly 10 years ago !!  It's made up of music I listened to, when I was stuck in hospital in 2001.......  I was there for about 7 weeks & got thru' a lot of music !!  So, for something to do - when I came home - I sat down & recorded some of my favourite tracks onto Cd... well, it turned out to be 6 Cd's - but, I enjoy listening to them !!

Just for the heck of it - I put them all together, in one case & did some 'art work'...... I won't gross you all out, but the 'art work' - well, it's something very unique to me & cannot be replaced !!  It's even got it's own name - "Bust A Gut".... which is, kind of, 'sick - but..... that's just me folks !!  It's only for my ears - tho' J did take it with him, on a trip to France, while he was still in school...... many years ago !!

Since then, I've done 2 follow up sets, from my further stays in hospital..... the last one is called "Bust A Gut 3 - The Wheelchair Shuffle"..... it's all kind of (very) sad - but, just a bit of fun !!  It keeps me happy & off the streets, so no big deal !!  Maybe - just maybe - one day, somebody will play these discs & work out what a sick mind I have...... who else would put together a Cd with AC/DC alongside the theme from 'Shrek' !!

Oh well........ onwards..........

Last night we (B  looks after all the drugs for me)  had a go at changing my drug times - it seems to have worked !!  Instead of taking all 14 pills at 7pm - we held back on 2 of them, until I was actually going to bed.  It meant that I was more awake all evening, but still had a good nights (well, as good as my nights get) sleep as well !!  The only downside - I took longer to wake up this morning - I felt quite weird until around 10am.... but, it seem to work & that was a bonus !!  We'll try it again tonight & see how things go.............. I'll try most things, so - why not !!  I'll let you know how I get on........ only time will tell !!

Tomorrow I hope we'll be able to get back to Church...... B said she'll wait & see how I am, in the morning, which is fair enough I guess.  She does look after me & spots more than I do, when it comes to how I am, from day to day !!  Here's hoping tho' - I'm looking forward to getting back this year !!  Mind you, thinking about it - we've only missed one Sunday, so far, in 2012 - so........ But, it would be good, to start the week off, by going & seeing our friends again........

I made a phone call the other night - to an old friend, in Lancashire - way to the North of here.  I've not seen them in an age & I don't think I've spoken to them in about 4 or 5 years !!  I needed to find out some information about my late Brother-in-law....... he died quite a few years back & I've never known for sure where he is buried.  One day, maybe, we'll get chance to pay our respects, at his grave - but....... it's over 3,000 miles away - so, it might never happen - but, maybe one day. 

At least, now, I have a better idea of where the grave is - it's in a completely different part of the islands than I thought.... so, I'm glad I phoned !!  I didn't really like to bother my friends - but, they are the only 'link' I have to that period of my life & there wasn't really anybody else I could ask !!  Maybe one day - we'll add it to the bucket list !!

Onwards - the music of the moment is 'Spirit In The Sky'... the old (late) 60's hit single.... it's a great song & it's just been followed by 'The Road To Knowhere' by Talking Heads !!  Only I could put a Cd like this together - mind you, who else would want to ?!  Happy days...... ho-hum !!  I'm not sure what I'm going to play after this.... I'll see what turns up !!

Right - as for my plans tonight - I'm not sure what I'm going to do !!  Probably, like most nights, just ease back & let the evening come & go on it's own......... maybe watch some DVD's or something !!  I'll see.... but, for now - I must away....... until next time....

Bye Bye
