The week was so bad Friday couldn't get here quick enough, a short revision course and an exam that had been postponed from May, I knew it wasn't going to take long but yet another annoyance in the working week, thankfully as soon as it was done the day was mine what could go wrong? I set off with the youngest (as she was going to work) and enjoyed the bright start to the day and the conversation, I got to the venue did the course revision and did exam in just over an hour and then the day just slid.......lets not get into it here! lets just take it for granted that there was much gnashing of teeth, lots of shouting and me myself I being really unhappy (nothing new there then).
Saturday didn't start any better, the wife being slightly off colour and me going on a quest to buy a simple newspaper, quest complete and dragons vanquished I soon realised that I was still neck deep in the (emotional ) mire and went to bed with an anchor around my neck not wanting to mix with the world, although I was missing my friends and was generally just unhappy (again no surprise there then) I didn't have a clue on how to get the hell out of misery city, this wasn't boding well for the Sunday which I had been looking forward to for weeks.
I was as always up with the larks, the old man of the house hadn't barked, but I was up and trudging around the house, breakfast made, kitchen cleaned, cooker cleaned, bath, shaved.....you get the picture and then I assisted my good lady wife out of bed, made her breakfast, but I was just trying to kick start happiness and was failing miserably, the wife kept me a little bit more busy even me generating a prefabricated argument about making food for her and the youngest didn't get me off the hook, I was still going to have to interact with the world at large, I was soon sat in the car dreading the day as I didn't want to spoil anybody else's day! I would have gladly climbed into the wardrobe and sat in the dark!
The journey continued with the wife and youngest in good spirits and me sitting behind a façade of happiness, we arrived at the Hotel Jagermiester, and the wife decides to put our little car in the smallest spot in the street, most of the street is empty but no she wants to put it there! cue much swearing and then later she realises that G is watching from the corner of the window, then the fun really began not only under pressure because of the small space, G starts a strip tease on the door step (the rest of the description has been censored in case any children or young animals get to read this ) and not once did E try to stop him, today was going to be a good day my spirits lifted I was left in the care of these two people (who had bravely volunteered to babysit me) who do try ever so much to cheer me up (woo hoo) we watched copious amounts of cars of varying classes racing and it was all good, G nearly blinked for long periods of time (mind you so did I, hells bells how comfy is that new couch) racing completed we headed out into the big blue yonder.
We headed first to get food (which was ......ok) and some people who I thought might have been there weren't and some who I didn't expect were and throw in some new people and a thunderbird, well lets just say my spirits were indeed lifted out of the doldrums and up the hill to a spot where there was lots and lots of sunshine. Was I a good boy? I hope so, I hope I wasn't too miserable because I did try very hard, and good times were restored in my heart (you know the one I rarely use) E really should stop worrying, I'm not going to post anything that she doesn't want posted, because I'm not really that type of person! lots of inkyhol was imbibed some cunning plans were as always hatched, I realised I really do miss being with this mad bunch of pirates and wish I could spend time with them on a more regular basis (more permanent planning required) as they really are a tonic for the troops.
The wife well her and the youngest had shuffled off to see McFly at a local park and had a great time although I knew that the wife would indeed suffer, standing for long periods of time, and was right when we couldn't get her out of the car to come and say hello to everybody and to say thank you for looking after me, we headed back to Gimpsville not before stopping off at the American embassy for sustenance! we arrived home just before midnight (we had to pick up the old man of the house from the Kraken's) and sunk into our pits and for once I went to bed happy! so thank you to The Tee Hee Club they never leave a soul behind and for that I am eternally grateful!
Now the big news at some point I spilt the beans to E what my current plan for world domination is, yes I have a new book in the works and at the moment it has a working title "Incomplete (you me and the truth)" and it's going to be a diary of my thoughts as (I sit waiting) I get help from the NHS for my mental instability, hopefully it will be witty and not too depressing although I'm sure there will be moments of deep darkness this will be my most personal book to date, thankfully though not one I have to rush, I have no (self imposed) deadline, I have no other projects spinning to take my mind elsewhere, I shall concentrate on this little nugget and will polish accordingly, I have no ego on this one (although some might not believe me ) I know I have suffered (and my family with me sometimes) and would like to get my point of view out there, so watch this space for updates as I have about six chapters already and intend to start a new chapter called "windswept thumb" it will be a book of many hills to climb both uphill and downhill but hopefully it will help make me a better person, we can but hope!
The rest of the week is to be given over to many small tasks and at least one day given over to doing some work as I have brought several weeks worth of admin home to do, as I just seem to get badgered at work, I would ideally like to be stood in a tent in Shields getting drunk with friends and dancing to the Buckets but that's not to be (this time) so that's the blog I hope it was worth the wait and just be grateful I didn't do it yesterday as it would have been sponsored by Gillette, thank you to everybody and I do mean everybody who put up with this lonesome wallflower yesterday, and now onwards upwards life is not a rehearsal, watch the skies until then Toodles!
