It's a wet Friday night here in England.... I've just waved B off, as she is heading back out to the gym & it's not a very nice night out there !! Very wet & not nice at all !! Never mind - as long as she drives safe & avoids the idiot drivers (it is Friday night after all !!) she should be Ok !!
So, with B just gone out, that leaves me here with ME, who has just gone upstairs to catch up on some Uni work...... J is still away, tho' he sent a text today, it seems he will be home, somewhere around 5pm tomorrow afternoon !! Which means I'm sat here alone, typing these words to you, my readers from around this old globe of ours !! I hope you're all well - I'm doing pretty good..... so, that's a bonus !!
B had to remind me today - I'm back into hospital next Thursday (I think) to try & get this implant working.... as yet, I'm none the better for it !! Believe me, if a Dr says "the pain will go away in a day or two" - just ignore him !! This thing has been in me now for several weeks & I'm still feeling it, every second of the day !!
It's not that it's not pulsing away - I can feel that...... as I've said before, it's like a second heartbeat - all very weird - but, it still hurts like heck & my spine is giving me "I told you so" sort of pains !! Oh well - I hope the Consultant will have an idea on what to do next..... I waited a long time for the thing to be put in & I'm, kind of, fed up with it now !! We'll see what happens next week !!
The week after, I'm back in hospital, to see another "guy" as things are not quite right - if ever they were in first place - with my mouth !! I'm not sure if the disease has spread that far - in fact, I'm sure it hasn't - but my GP wants it checked out, so I best follow Dr's orders !! Another year & another load of hospital visits.....
...... there are only sooooo many times I can go to the hospital, it's not much fun anymore folks !! Oh well !!
B & I went into town today.... nothing too exciting - just a quick trip to ASDA. It's amazing how little we got & how much it cost !! Sometimes, we go in & spend soooo little & then, like today, we come out with next to nothing & it eats up my entire wallet !! Never mind - life goes on......
I did come home with a 'new' Cd tho' !! I didn't buy it - just a loan.... It's the 2 Cd version of 'The Last Waltz' by The Band. Someplace, I have the 4 Cd set - not 100% sure where it is exactly - so, this 2 Cd version is just a reminder for me !! It's quite good - tho' it's well marked up.... I'm playing it as I type & I'm expecting it to skip any second !!
Remember when Cd's first came out - how they were meant to be idiot proof & wouldn't scratch like old Lps ? Well, I guess we've sorted that little bit of poo, for what it was !! Sure - in many ways, they do sound better than Lp's - but, they do scratch & that's a fact !! Oh well...... it's good to listen to, if nothing else !!
Talking of listening toooooooo..... I was looking for a Zeppelin bootleg, for today, the best I can come to is one for tomorrow - so, here goes !! Skip the next bit if you like !!
On January 7th 1973, Zeppelin played the New Theatre in Oxford, as part of a British tour. I have several Cd's of the show - but 'Oxford Blues' is probably one of the better ones... I like it anyhooooo !!
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Over The Hills & Far Away
3) Black Dog
4) Misty Mountain Hop
5) Since I've Been Loving you
6) Dancing days
7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
8) The Song Remains The Same
9) The Rain Song
CD 2
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Whole Lotta Love
So, there you go - another one - the 2nd one - of my Zeppelin bootleg collection...... remember, please don't pay for bootlegs, buy the official releases..... keep the bands in business !!
While I was typing that bit - the Cd just jumped thru' about 3 minutes of playing time !! I'm glad I didn't scratch it - hopefully the owner knows about the damage - it's pretty bad, so.... !!
I've just had an automatic message thing (on the phone) from the hospital - asking me to confirm I'll be there next Thursday !! How weird is that - B & I were talking about today & a few minutes ago, I wrote about it - maybe the "phone robots" at the hospital read my mind !! That would of been the Worlds shortest read & that's a fact !! You could put my minds entire contents on one side of a small postage stamp - & then fold it in two, to save space !!
As I type - I have the TV on silent, in the other corner..... the local weather 'guru' is on & seems to be talking about a different planet or something !! He seems to think it's dry out there - it's hissing down.... where do they get these guys from ?!
Talking of different planets - ME's boyfriend was here last night & we are now one set of Christmas tree lights short, for next year !! ME now has one set strung up around her bedroom.... talk about being on a different planet !! She is sat up there, basking in the glow & happily doing her work on the laptop she has - bless her !! It's amazing to think she'll graduate this year.... I know it's been a hard slog, but the 3 years seem to have flown by - I'm just glad to be still here to see it !!
I've just change the music - it's now a mix Cd of various things - as I type, Nightwish are waking up the village !! I sometimes think, I'll open up all the doors & windows, turn the amp down to deafening & really blast this place out of it's stupor !! Wake up the place a bit....... some of them don't seem to worry about us, sooooooo - why not !! Maybe - when I know it's going to be my last night on Earth - I'll hire a huge PA system & blast the bu**e*s to hell & back !! No, I mustn't be nasty....... but it sounds like a lot of fun tho' !! If nothing else - they'll remember me..... well, some of them at least !!
B said again, today, that I can order up the last of the Allman's 2011 concerts..... I must get around to that soon. There are a couple of other shows I want as well - mainly as they played 'Firing Line' a few times (not last year) & I would like at least one or two copies of that.... as well as some Gov't Mule Cd's I know my Son would like in his collection in the future !!
It's kind of funny - we treat my health so 'lightly' now-a-days !! Over the Christmas, B said on at least 3 occasions, how this could be my last & how she wanted to make it 'special' for all of us !! We even took some 'family' photo's & that's something we never do !! But - B wanted them, so......... one day I'll get around to looking at them !! I know at least one lady who wants a copy for her wall, in her new home !! "Hi Toni" - we hope you're both well...... I'll send you a photo, I promise - tho' I don't think they are that good !!
Oh well... enough, enough..... I must away !! We're trying something different tonight with my med's, taking them a little later - in the hope I can sleep better.... I don't hold out much hope, but we'll see !! For now, I must away - until next time.... thank you for taking the time to read my words...
Bye Bye
