My Blog. Generally Intended for Reading-Not Eating!. |
Rose-Tinted Ramblings ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** A Little of What You Might Expect & A Lot of Everything Else that You Don't!. My writing style for my blog is invariably 'snarkastic'. This is because I am a nice, unassuming and quietly-spoken person IRL-and this blog is where my innermost moments and torments happen. Trust me, I am no exception to that delightful rule. Greetings! Welcome to my THIRD blog here on WDC. A re-incarnation of my earlier version of my Blog, here "Insanties and Sensibilities" this v.03 should prove to be equally...challenging and hopefully, entertaining. That said, life often weaves through our writing in mysterious ways, and this Blog will probably prove to be no exception to that. We are very likely all quite different, yet the same, us writers and our collective little whims, fascinations and insecurities. |

It is also passed down by generation, so my brother and I will need to have regular scans for the rest of our lives. A constant reminder, as if we needed or wanted it, of the pain that he experienced. Just as parents can never imagine having to bury their children, nether do children imagine that same fate for their parents, when they are themselves just a child. Many parents hope that they will leave their children a lasting legacy-one that endures above everything else. My father's was the mark of his personality and temperament that he left with me. I love and miss you, Dad. |

October 07, 2008. [Third attempt at an entry tonight-I just love my computer-can't you tell?. Wanker]. I'm flat-out-tired and still sick. Filed insurance paperwork, my husband had an emergency dental appointment at the frontier clinic, with less than 2 hrs notice for a 2 hour drive. He has an abscess, and 75+ miles drive one way is a long way to get some Amoxicillin and basic pain relief. He needs a root canal [surprise, surprise]. But, since a root canal is classed as dental surgery, he has to drive a further four hours, nearly to SF, to the next clinic that will take our insurance. On a happier note, "Beanie" was well enough for us to leave her up at the mountain house with my in-laws for tonight. She'll be back at 10am tomorrow, so it's a brief break, but I was prepared to take anything by late this/yesterday afternoon. I was back to throwing up again-just when I thought I'd gotten past that. Ridiculous. All I really want to do is drink clear fluids and drowse a lot. So not like me, but then, I haven't been feeling like myself, since we got back from N.Z. How am I supposed to be looking for work, when I'm constantly feeling so disgusting?. More later, when I've slept some... |
