Blimey  Sorry, I just love that word. I'm fine and dandy today. Since I don't have any "real" jobs I'll probably just hang out with friends today and tomorrow is father's day so I know I'll spend at least part of it with Ken. Not really looking forward to tomorrow

Jason thats fantastic news, well done!! Nands as I type this I am looking at my pathetic excuse of a closet (it's half built) it's about a metre in width and the clothes that hang there dont even fit me. I have just noticed that all my clothes are black! There is one white top, a lemon skirt and a pink top!!! How dull and depressing my clothes are. Hmm must give this some thought! I couldn't sleep this morning, well actually I could but my brother text just after 6am to ask if I could have the dog for the day as he is out with his new girlfriend and family. Now I can't get back to sleep  It's fathers day today and my first without my dad. This time last year we spent the day with him in the hospice. I don't remember much about the day but I remember laughing with him. So much has happened in the last year, yet I'm standing still. Life changing events happen in an instant but adapting to them is draining and relentless and lasts years. I'm so sick and tired of greif. It's holding me in a place I don't want to be in and it has done for the last three years. But it's a natural process I suppose and all part of the healing I guess. Now wouldn't it be nice to have to spend the next three years getting over winning the lottery or something like that?...........Sigh, I can dream!!  |

Wow A lot of novemerites have had their fathers die fairly recently this is my 4th fathersday without dad. He died the 7th of June 4 years ago. As many of you know he and i had a very dificult and painful relationship, but we had healed greatly and were fairly close by the time he died. He had lung cancer and had had the surgery and was awaiting treatment. Unfortunately he had an adverse reaction to a medicine he recieved after a heart probelm during the surgury (not an uncommon occurance). I was down to visit him about two weeks before his death when supposely everyhting was fine and he would start chemo the next day. And I new when I left that it was the last time I would see him. Everyone said he was fine, but actually he was already sick from the medication and He had already distanced himself from the world. The poem that kept running through my head When I was walking down the stairs I met a man who wasn't there He wasnt there again today I wish I wish he'd go away. He was taken to the hospital the next day and instead of chemo he was put on a ventalater. He was close to death within a week. Then he took a turn for the better. However, at the time i was drinking, and when he appeared to be better and I still couldn't stay sober enough to go to work I went to the hospital and checked into detox at 8am. At 4pm my sister in law called to say things had changed and he was dying. The next morning at 4 am he died. I was released from detox, and the dr. told me he didn't think I would be able to stay sober...and i didn't. It was another year before i went to treatment and started on this sobriety. My father thought i was in the hospital for my diebedics. And before he died he spoke with my brother and told him to tell me that he new that everything i had ever said about what happened in my childhood was true....I love him for that so much. I wasn't there for his death, but i feel that he has been there with may at many points since. It's a buddhist thing and I don't believe in time...won't try to explain it... Anyhow just felt like sharing about him today. Thanks for the ear.

That was very nice, nands I spent Father's Day with my family, including the new niece! I can't believe how big she's getting. She can't quite crawl yet but she sort of rolls herself around the room. It was a nice day. Hugs to those of you who have lost your fathers.

OK..my bedroom is almost done...mom and chris will finish tomarrow and the dryer will be repaired. I didn't get much work done...my computer fizzed out and the geek just fixed it a little bit ago...so tomarrow will be interesting to put it mildly. I'm late getting to bed..so i may not get much SR coffee time in the morning between painting, bill payment, computer geeks, shopping, cooking dinner for my aa friends ..... i got a lot done today and feel content sort of.... see you guys in the morning...and dee (biggggggggg hug and smooches grin) oh yeah...wonkey, LB, jiggy, timmy and others...you know who you are

I had a nice weekend But strangely enough I'm glad to be home, a house full of childrens laughter isn't all its cracked up to be! And the mess drove me crazy, lego loses it appeal the first time you stand on a piece in bare feet. Hope everyone had a good weekend too and hope to speak to you all soon.

Stepping on legos is like stepping on the plug for your curling iron after you've unplugged it in the morning. OW. I find aunthood quite lovely for getting a good dose of the cuteness of children but being able to leave for all the tantrums, diaper changes, messy house, etc. Pixy are you working 4 long days? We have an option like that and I'm considering it. Nands have you survived your mom? Dee I forgot to return your hug yesterday so here are three for you:
