The Clock Ticks On.

 

Well, that was a wacky week, the blog outstripped the others of the last few months, I know when I post this it will (probably) kill the last one stone dead, I can live with that, its been a good kind of week. What I have noticed is that when I post the blog after spending longer proofreading the bloody thing than writing the thing, there are words missing and punctuation is missing, I know I’m old, but I do know how to write in “Inglesh” when this one is posted I will be once again proof reading it again and again.

The week has continued to be crap, but I have my big boy pants and I’m simply going to go with the flow, life’s too short to panic about stuff we can’t control, I was going to attempt to get the wife to leave the house tonight, however we have the Hurricane staying with us, that works for us as well, different horses for different courses, its nice to have him around.

I received a surprise in the post, nothing horrific but something I wasn’t expecting, a letter to inform me I was going to be seeing not one specialist but two, its regarding my diabetes, I have promised the wife that I will be trying my best to keep my mouth shut, its not the specialists fault, my issues are with the system not the staff trying their best whilst operating within its strict boundaries!.

Reading has stopped, as I was by myself for the whole week at work, fielding enquiries that you would think educated people would know the answer too. Its quite funny as my boss has to walk away as he knows what I’m implying when I look at the educated fools footwear, I need to see who tied their laces as I know it wasn’t them, bless them, they do indeed walk amongst us!

Thankfully music hasn’t stopped if I’m in the office my headphones are in, on the bus my headphones are in, just about everywhere I go I have music on, boy does it cheer me up, It’s a little difficult in the house, as I don’t wish to leave the wife to her own devices, too much space will ensure that she goes off the track to dark places, I know she is not going to be good overnight, but she is my number one priority, so I shall be doing my dutiful husband tasks as I hopefully bring her back towards the light.

We still haven’t decided on a holiday but we are looking, we have a few possibilities but we need some quality time with each other so we can converse, agree or disagree whichever way I’m happy as long as we are both heading in the same direction, we also have a little dog (an old man) as the wife’s mum’s pooch is settling in with us even though I’m sure he sleeps for 23 hours a day maybe longer, but he’s like a little corporal with his chest puffed as we prepare his food, bright as a button then he eats it and then the little swine goes back to sleep, what a life, oh imagine how jealous I am of the little bugger!

I’m sure we need to insert a day between Saturday and Sunday, just so that we can achieve some of our little “projects” having said that we were able to locate our joiners telephone number and to get him to come and give us a cost for replacing our 60 year old back gate that was suffering more than me, price given, gate fitted, I even managed to get it stained the next day before the deluge that was forecast, two jobs done only another 4376 left to do. The lawyer isn’t helping, I know that she is simply doing her job, but its not helping the wife’s stress levels, we just need to sort out the sale of the house, we aren’t going to see any money out of it as there is debt, about the size of a small third world country, to be honest if it becomes a pain we will simply walk away, let them sort it out we had just about sorted everything out, that will teach us  to be open and honest (never again)as I said before, life is way too short, for all of their drama!

So, some small tasks, babysitting (bless he’s nearly 12) maybe some food and me proof reading this for 9 hours before posting and then seeing even more mistakes after the event! Thank you for the kind words from all of you lovely people, I’m not back 100% but I am getting there, I was determined to get one more blog out before the months end, so here we go 4 days since the last blog and the best-read blog of the year, here is one more missive, hopefully hitting the same heights that will tell me I am on the right track!

So as always onwards stay safe and stay alive, tonight I shall be immersing myself in the 13th Star remixed box set ( three cd’s and a blue ray disc there’s about 8 hours of music for me to devour!) that has just been released, ordered Monday, I had it by Thursday, work got in the way, so maybe a couple of drinks and an awful lot of Fish (Why Not?), the name game is in play, only three people got the last one, loads of you said Aerosmith, but I did say I wanted the original which was by Joe Perry who is in, yes you guessed it Aerosmith! As we approach God knows how many blogs we are fast approaching 100000 hits for the page, this cheers me up as it means I am doing something right, not all of the time, but I am trying, so until the next time, as always………………………Toodles!
