Might as well smile.


Yes the name game is in play and no this isn’t a blog about “Bob” I thought I had better make you all aware, as this is a little weird, simply as I didn’t know how to word this one!

As per my health has been weird and to be honest its pissing me off, I am literally trying just about everything I can, to do the right thing (and I know I’m not perfect but I do try) life just seems to be about chaos at the moment, the world keeps turning and it kicks me on the way round, I was at my diabetes clinic appointment earlier this week and I always bounce through the door, putting my best foot forward, a big false grin on my face, this time I didn’t and I think they were shocked, “what’s up”? They asked, and I was honest, told them I’m sick of feeling crap, sick of them simply putting up my medication in the vain hope that it will make me better (guess what it doesn’t) and sick of generally trying to make them happy, its about me not you, like I said they were shocked and not happy but guess what I haven’t been happy with anything you lot have done for me in the 9 years, all nice people but I have done everything that you have asked me to do, to no avail, I’m not a happy camper.

What’s not helping me is my knees and now my hips have joined in to help, by the end of any day I am in agony, I am tempted to turn to drink (I haven’t, but I am tempted) it all rolls itself up in a ball and runs over me, I don’t think the fact that I have been alone in the house since January has helped, but with only small forays from the wife to make sure I haven’t turned our home into a pigsty, small islands of happiness and joy i will take them whenever i get the chance, she is shouldering the burden of looking after her mother as she enters the end of life, I have great admiration for the sterling job she is doing in giving someone at the end of their life dignity and peace, its not good but I am with her every step of the way in the final part of this journey, I know I have a had plenty of differences of opinion with the Kraken on a number of things, but I honestly wouldn’t wish what she is going through on any person!

It would appear I don’t do as well as I thought I would on my own, my get up and go has got up and fucked off, I sit in the dark not wanting to put any lights as I wander through the house like a water buffalo attempting not to graze on all food groups, again I’m trying, I’m not always successful but I do try, it appears to that I have discovered TV  and I veg out in the dark some times festering sometimes not. I am trying to be invested in the house but its hard, I’m not looking for any sympathy, I’m a big boy, I just need to refind the spark, something that will kick me in the seat of the pants in a positive kind of way, I don’t want anybody turning up at my front door offering to do the kicking!

The last blog did well and the others are pottering away, but I need to find the spark that I had at the beginning of the year where I was firing on all six cylinders, I am writing but its dull and uninspired at times the initial ideas I like it’s the execution of that idea that fails in my standards. The next blog will be a four on the floor blog and it will be sooner rather than later (allegedly) honest I just have to pick one of the ones I have done and give it a light polish! I’m missing the wife her mischievous ways, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but it comes with a large supply of heartbreak.

So there you go I am trying to be positive, its hard and I’m not helping myself, but “Bob” isn’t anywhere in view so that’s a positive as far as I am concerned, so onwards we go, normal service will resume as soon as I can be normal (yes I know you all think that that is a pretty tall order) so thank you for the kind comments, they are not needed but are appreciated. Watch the skies as the next one will be a tad quicker than this one was, stay safe stay alive and until the next time …………………………Toodles!
