Another day, Another appointment

Had my rheumatology appointment earlier but the results of the blood tests were inconclusive which is really annoying. The only conclusion the consultant had was that I probably have arthritis but she is not sure which one and there was just a slight chance that my problems may just be as a result of the virus I had last October and if it is, it should be gone by the autumn. I'm hopeful of the latter but suspect I may not be so lucky but what a wonderful thing to happen. Get my throat declared 'all clear' (please) and discover I don't have arthritis but just the aftershock of a very nasty virus. Just after I find that out I am going to decide what to spend my lottery winnings on!

But seriously, fingers crossed. Add one more, Jermaine is not as bad as they thought at first and they have a cure. 2006 has the potential to be a very emotional year one way or another.

Still, there is light on the horizon, a candle at the end of the log flume. I am meeting with Simon next month and am hopeful the old feelings are still there. A relationship as we'd like would be problematic right now but he's a good man, I can wait.

The damaged wing mirror that I didn't mention before will cost me £30 to repair but that could have been so much worse.

I have this weekend off and whilst peace and quiet seem like a good idea, I am actually missing constant adult company like I had on holiday.

Probably now would be a good time to chat a little about Martyn. It's true to say that I was in love with him now that is not the case. In a way, what is there is nicer and less complicated. I love him but as a friend, like I did Tony. Never wanting a relationship but valuing the friendship and understanding that we had and I have with Martyn. Love is like that though, it's just a feeling and can change with time and experience. Some people are scared of loving others in case they get hurt but not me. The wonderment of having kids has shown me that we are eac capable of unlimited love on all sort of levels. It can be a deep feeling that I could never be without that person or just a warm feeling I get around them as one of the few that really know me, perhaps values me as a person rather than just seeing me as a shag or someone to make up the numbers. The only real regret I had in GC (apart from the incident with the cleaner) is that Martyn and I didn't spend that evening together in the moonlight as it was truly amazing. Just standing there would have been so much better even if no words were spoken, no touching, just being aware that another human was there with me, sharing that magical moment. I am not sure if Martyn could understand that, appreciate that I am just saying that as friends and nothing more. There is nothing on this planet I would have liked more then to have shared that moment with Tony or Pete or any of my other mates just not alone, good as it was.

Did I mention my new lounge? Boy I like my new lounge. Thing is, there is some sort of naughty guilt thing I feel being here, it is just so peaceful and just so lovely to have me time but the kids can come and chat with me and snuggle if they want. I am just so lucky to have a house this big to have done it, just so sorry that I had to lose a son to have done it too but probably best not go there else I'll have myself blubbering. He's not dead yet for heaven's sake!

Oh, blogger screwed up so apologies for duplicate thingy

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
