So Friday I didn't end up getting my ears cleaned cos I've got infection in there, so right ear is still blocked. got drops to put in then Saturday I go and hopefully get them cleaned. got singing on Sunday now as she'll be away for the first part of weekend, so it turned out OK that I accidently had made my appointment for then.
yesterday J came over. we had a great day; most of the day was spent swapping audio stuff from and to her external drive. I've now got so much more entertainment thanks to her. She had dinner with me! um .. then she left a while after that.
Last night I woke in the middle of the night to find my throat absolutely killing me! guess I got tonsil litus again and if it's not cleared up by saturday, I'll see the doc about it at same time.
J called me at work this morning, informing me she'd been sick a few times last night. Guess she wondered if I had as well and if it was something we ate. I felt bad but informed her that we had exactly the same thing (a sausage and crumbed cutlet each from the freezer. I buy meat in bulk and put it in freezer as soon as I get home and just take them out to thore as i need them.) As I wasn't sick we wondered if it was the meat afterall. As she doesn't eat lamb often, maybe her body wasn't use to it; who knows! but, I did feel bad. maybe it was gastro but I dunno. I've never been sick with my cooking (touch wood) with my careful practices, I'm not planning on it either.
today I got another shock. I called Mum up, and she informed me that after I left on Sunday night, there were police, fire pregade and ambulences next dor at Helen's. Her husband (J) had committed suicide while H was out picking up their daughter L from somewhere.
apparently he was pretty depressed for a while and she had tried to get him to go and see someone.
I just couldn't believe it! this must have taken place while we were eating or watching TV at parents.
It's just so final though, that's what I find hard to comprehend. I exclaimed how selfish it was, but really, I understand the other side too. though with kids involved, I dunno. surely they'd be what made you want to live, to see them grow up, etc, but I don't know! -- those black holes are scarey! -
We all knew the family quite well. the kids use to come and swim in our poolspa when they were little. I know H more but am sure I would have spoken to j too! It's so sad! -- I guess I haven't physically known anyone who's done it! :(
I feel so sorry for the family; how are they going to cope? how can you? I mean you need to some how.
R.I.P J! may you be at peace now!
morbid subject i know, but speaking of deaths, I had failed to mention the passing of dad's friend Stan, probably about a month ago now. He had actually called for Dad the day before hand as they'd worked together for many years and were good friends. lung cancer; he was in his late 50's i think!
R.I.P Stan. I met you once and use to speak to you a bit on the phone when calling dad. You sounded truly as nice as everyone had said, and you were certainly too young to die.
Oh, and my great uncle Lindsay has pancreas cancer, and apparently nothing can be done for him cos the main artery is too close; I'd imagine it would be spreading anyway. so it's all just so sad! -- but life goes on some how!
Oh, I'm not going to Queens til week after next now; shortige of staff and they can't train me in those conditions. it's alright with me though; am happy with whenever.
Just got to butchers on time this afo after work to get me some new sausages to try. I left in such a hurry this morning, i failed to get something out the freezer.
think I will go to bed early tonight to give my poor body a rest.
til next time, RdFreak
