My Typical lazy day

Today I decided that I'd have a no pressure day where I didn't have to have any pressure at all and just chill out.

So, in a relaxing way I got up at 7am and then had to tell Zoey to get out of bed and got moaned out for my efforts. Then I chatted to my Dad (that was OK). Then I took Daisy to school followed soon after getting back by taking Deej to the doctor to get his feet sorted. Home again just before dad left at 9:45

I got a call and then an email from CSCI, I was right. He said from the information I have given him that the home would potentially be breaking CSCI rules by not allowing Jermaine to have a webcam and gave me reference to the rules relating to that. Any connection between a webcam and a CCTV device depends on usage and location and neither of those apply as it is not being used as a security device and as his place is self contained, no other service users are involved so it isn't a civil liberties issue. That may be good news but I suspect the home is still going to object.

I had to deal with an incident between Deej and Zoey whereby Deej offered some help to Zoey and she told him to 'fuck off and mind your own business!" That took my available relax time before Robin got here.

I did get a sleep this afternoon as I was feeling rough and wanted to not sleep through the Mikado this evening. On waking me Deej said that Jermaine was unconscious and being taken to hospital, it didn't look good. Even so I took the decision that I had promised Robin so I was going to go out. I sat through the entire first half quite numb. To be honest, had I had nothing to worry about I may have done that anyway as the chorus was not exactly making an effort and I could barely understand a work of it. During the interval I called the Coach House and was told that Jermaine was home again and whilst not very well was 'safe' and had a urine infection. That was a hell of a relief.

The trouble is, one of these days I may make the wrong call and have to live with the fact that I was doing something else whilst my son lay dying. I don't know how I'd cope with that if it happened.

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 ...
