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 ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
