Greetings World's !!
I hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well ?! It's a very bright & Sunny day, here in the part of England, that I call home !! It is also, very warm & humid - which is Ok... as long as the air is moving..... hence I have a fan, blowing away, behind me !! If nothing else..... even if the temperature doesn't come down, I can imagine it is !!
The good part.... it's meant to be getting warmer - followed by some thunderstorms !! That will be Ok... I like to see the flashes of lightning, in the dark sky of night. Where we live, you can quite literally see for miles...... so, it's really good - especially, if the storms head up thru' the coast !! Oh well......
Ok - the family......
B is upstairs, in her craft stash... doing various cards, for birthdays & Christmas. Now that she has her own craft room - hopefully she won't get too far behind. Most years, come December, she is frantically trying to catch up..... !! Nevermind.....
With the M & M's having their own place & J not coming home - B & I are going to have our own little Xmas dinner, just the 2 of us, plus - of course - the 4 cats !! They will, no doubt, get plenty of turkey, or chicken.... depending on what we're going to have this year !!
I know - most years, no matter what cat(s) we've had...... they have all done very well, for leftovers !! It'll be Archie's 2nd Christmas.... bless him !! Oh well..... more about the cats - in future posts !!
Right - going back to Wednesday......
If you read that post - you will know, that, I was waiting for a nurse to show up. B & I were going into town, to see ME.... along with my first visit, to see Bruce - the M & M's kitten !! Unfortunately.... by 2pm, the nurse had failed to show... so, B went into town, by
herself !! I wasn't too happy about that... I was looking forward, to seeing Bruce, I really was !!
As it turned out - the nurse never showed !! When B came home.... I was sooooo fed up with it all, that I had gone back to the bedroom & had crashed out, on the bed !! Honestly - I was really "low" about it all...... so much so, that B really let rip !!
The lady that she (B) spoke to, on the 'phone claimed nobody was due to come out..... which was just rubbish + some other crap - all of which just made it worse, really. As it turned out - a nurse, eventually, showed up about 8pm !! I had waited all thru' the day.... and, when she did get here - for the 2nd time, in as many days, she didn't bring the right dressings !! B was fuming !!
The plan then, was for another nurse, to come out on Thursday.... to sort the Vac-pump dressing out - once again, nobody showed up !! Well - that was, until one of the "bosses" showed up & took full responsibility, for everything that went wrong !! Bless her..... she was brilliant.
So - the plan, today - is for a bundle of dressings to come right here.... followed by a nurse. Well - the dressings are here.... just got to wait for the nurse to arrive !! Oh well...... if nothing else, I will take all of the bloody dressings off, myself, tonight.... and have a long soak, in a warm bath !!
By "bloody" - I'm not using that, as a swear word.... the dressings are truly blood red !! As for the long soak.... that is something I've not been able to do, since last year !! It's hard to soak in a bath - especially when I'm all trussed up, in these dressings !! Maybe one day soon - not today tho' !!
Hopefully, the nurse will be back - sometime this afternoon..... they certainly messed up our day, on Wednesday !!
Not only was I un-able to go into town, with B.... but, in the evening - we had a fantastic visit from one of the Missionaries !! He is coming to the end of his 2 years, so he came around, with his Spanish parents, to say "thank you" for all we did for him, while he was in our area.
It was fun - we do not speak Spanish & they did not speak English !! So - the Elder was translating between us..... until the nurse came & spoilt our evening together !! We said they could stay - but, because the nurse was here, they felt better.... felt that they should leave. So - Wednesday was really messed up !!
I should mention the music of the moment !! I've been listening to an old Robert Plant live set, from 22-6-2002. It was broadcast on the BBC... and, to be honest, I forgot I had it !! I was having a bit of a tidy & I found it mixed up, with some Grateful Dead Cd's !! Anyhoo - the tracks are:
1) Celebration Day
2) Darkness Darkness
3) Funny In My Mind
4) Morning Dew
5) Tall Cool One
6) Song For The Siren
It's a good set of tunes.... with a bit of talk, in between !! I'm glad I found it - I'll see what else is mixed up, on that Dead shelf !!
I've now moved over to one of the Cd's, that I got for my birthday.... 'The Best of....' by Ten Years After. Those tracks are:
1) Rock & Roll Music To The World
2) I'd Love To Change The World
3) I'm Going Home
4) Choo Choo Mama
5) Tomorrow, I'll Be Out Of Town
6) I Woke Up This Morning
7) Me & My Baby
8) Good Morning Little School Girl
9) Goin' Back To Birmingham
10) 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain
11) Sweet Little Sixteen
12) I'm Coming On
13) Love Like A Man
14) Baby Won't You Let Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You
For some reason... the track listing, on the Cd.... well, it goes from track 10.... straight to track 12 !! Very weird...... but, I can only see 14 tracks, on the Cd - so.......... unless, of course, there is some hidden gem, in there, someplace !!
Readers - well, some of you - will know, that from time to time.... I set myself little "projects". In the past - these have mostly revolved around music..... either trying to do a complete listing, of all of our Cd's.... or tapes. My last attempt, well - it fizzed out completely !! I started off well - but, one thing or another came along & it all got pushed to one side !!
In my own defense - the last time I started a list... I think.... I landed up, back in the hospital & I simply lost the plot !! The whole listing was going well - but..... it just never happened to get finished !!
Anyways...... I decided, yesterday.... or sometime earlier, I forget. Well, I have decided that - rather than just typing these words, I'm going to print them all up. I know, it sounds like a dumb idea - but, to be honest - I'm a dumb type of person !!
So - going back to yesterday....
B drove me, into town & I picked out a couple of folders, 500 pages of half decent paper..... some of those plastic, see-thru' thingy's - to put the pages in & probably some other stuff, that I've
forgotten about !!
But - I'm determined to do the whole lot..... starting with post #1. I have no clue how long it's going to take me, but - it's a project & I'm going to need it, to get me thru' the crap that, no doubt, I will have to go thru'..... over the coming months or years !!
Life will go on & I'm going to enjoy doing the whole printing up & putting the thing together !! Besides - I will still get to play some music, while I'm doing it - so, it's a win win type of project !! Great stuff... well, I think so, at least !!
Right - my plans for the rest of the day..... well, that depends on when the nurse lady gets here, I guess. But - I will no doubt play some more music & have a bit of fun, while I'm doing it !! For now tho' - I must be on my ways...
As always, I thank you for your time & for logging in to read my words.... until next time...
Bye Bye
