It was all going so smoothly, that was until “Bob
decided he was going to pay me a visit! Thankfully he was scared away by my
bravado and a certain amount of bad attitude. I had been happy as a rule, for
the last couple of weeks, not giddy as a school girl, but my mood and demeanor
was “up” the blog on all fronts was motoring along, work was ……”Meh” could be
worse could be better, life at home was, slightly difficult due to certain
things going on in the background, but I was there to offer support to who ever
wanted or needed it, medically life was as crap as ever, again I was simply
going with the flow, there isn’t a lot I can do until I finally get my first
appointment to the new clinic for my issue (ahem lets not go there) I was
discharged from the broken hoop clinic in August 2022 and pushed to another
clinic and I finally got my first appointment at the weekend for …….wait for it
……March 2023, WTF! Anyway there’s nothing I can do about it (admittedly I was
giving them until January and then I was going to unleash the wife on their
asses) to be honest by the time I get to see the new clinic and Dr’s it will be
exactly eight years since the condition started, so no I’m not going to lose
any sleep over it, I don’t think they will find an answer for it and I believe it’s
something I will simply have to live with or its so serious and rare its going
to kill me! Although to be brutally honest I think it would have finished me
off by now, my arse is like a rag mans trumpet most days but at least the
uncontrollable burping has been brought to heel with yet more medication, I seem
to rattle when I walk/hobble!
I didn’t get upset, I didn’t wail, I simply shrugged
my shoulders and went with it, I was still in an all-right frame of mind, the
last blog was doing slow numbers but still climbing that rocky hill called
statistics, the grandson had returned home, we were finally getting the passage
and bathroom painted by a professional (my weak body simply couldn’t cope, why
struggle for hours when I can get a professional to complete it in under 12
hours over two days). We set about sorting the rooms out (how much crap do we
have) and getting it stored in the two bedrooms and the dining room (again how
much crap) I should really just hire a skip, the wife would kill me, actually
with the way that my body is behaving that might not be a bad thing! As it
happens it was painted a lot quicker than we put the house back to shape (6
days and counting ….baby steps) the weekend came and went but on the Sunday night
there was a gloom hanging over me and I had no idea why, sleep did not arrive
as quickly as it normally does, when it did arrive I was restless and was woken
a number of times and I did doze off back to the land of nod, so unlike me, while
still being restless, once awake I rarely go back to sleep, this time I did and
after around 3 and a half hours sleep (I’m sad I keep a record for which ever
clinic I end up in, as apparently it all matters) I got up feeling decidedly
grumpy, not unusual after a crap night’s sleep.
Bob stalked me through the house, not making direct
contact but looking for a weakness some way that he could drag me back down in
to the depths of my own stupidity, I put my coat on and headed off to be a bus
wanker, I decided once on the bus that I was going to play some music and I started
with the Queen discography starting with the debut and going through it
chronologically (I know I’m sad) 3 songs in and “Bob” was left behind as if he
had never been there, never underestimate the power of music, I worked all day
and got through to The Miracle before calling it a day, as I got off the bus
home I bumped into an old work mate (who retired a few years ago) and he said
he hadn’t seen me so happy for ages, music really does indeed sooth the soul,
the thing that worries me just a tad is how silently “Bob” crept up on me with
great speed, the good thing though is how fast he was banished, by the time Great
King Rat kicked in I was happy, I think the reason that I have been happier of
late is simply the amount of music I am playing, I did enjoy the day, unfortunately
I can’t play music all day every day, as much as I would like to.
And so to a new week work is still the same, today I decided
to go through Ozzy’s discography although I skipped over The Ultimate Sin,
there are some nice tracks on it I’m simply not a fan, one day I will work out
why( because its cack) the day has passed uneventfully I was cooking before 8
(slow cooker delight for tea) at my desk in my little office space for just
after 08.30 and kind of pottered on, an early night tonight as I have a very
tight schedule tomorrow so the only time for music will probably be on the
journey to and from work, as it stands it really is all good in the hood, and
you all thought that this was going to be doom and gloom, it wasn’t it was just
how I felt at the time.
There will be a couple of blogs quite quickplay
irrespective of numbers (I do have a tendency to still follow how this does)
the numbers will probably run into each other but it is what it is, they will
be quick fire type of blogs, those who have followed me will recognise the
formats, I don’t intend to stray far of my beaten path! So, while this one has
arrived later than expected there will be about three over the next fortnight
or so, the weekend beckons and I have as always, many cunning plans to resolve
before the next blog arrives, the games afoot, I’m in a good frame of mind and
am actually looking forward to “The Holiday” maybe I might simply blog about
that, some research before I pull the trigger on that particular scab! So, until
the next one stay safe, stay alive, do whatever you need to do to enjoy this
time of the year, watch the skies for more incoming and keep spreading the disease,
the blogs are picking up speed at a pleasant pace, lets go have some fun, until
the next one……………Toodles!
Oh yes and while I remember the name game is in play
and is really simple nobody should have to google it I have used it before, it’s
the number that’s the complicated bit, let’s see how clever any of you are, I doubt
that you will be able to get an answer from Google this time!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
