NO not really, but well it kinda does sum up roughly, approximately where I am at present.
That place is somewhere, at least I'm sleeping a bit better (without pharmaceutical help). My dad was transfered to a hospice within the local hospital to give mum some much needed "space" my dad is a pain in the ass normally but now he is more so, he went in on Monday morning. We had to call the doctor in on Sunday,he was given an injection of some description I wasn't there but we had to get a neighbour in to carry him to bed as he really couldn't walk. I was actually able to get a fair amount of sleep last night so it's helping me as well. Mum is doing better so it's helping the only thing is I'll have to make sure she really limits any drinking she does late at night as well between the pills she has been given and the alcohol she ends up cooking stuff and then the next day not realising she done it, she doesn't burn anything and it tidy enough so she's aware at the time.
Oh and this is just a thanks to all of you who are taking time even if just a moment to think of my family, me I'll be fine, just pray for my parents.
On a lighter and brighter note it appears that the bone headed one aka my sister is talking to my mum again they had a long conversation the other day and it seemed to work.

Okay.....

I think there is a tiny piece of tooth left in my gum and it's fricking annoying me, you know that. If I thought I could get the sucker out I would but it seems firmly attached and well like it a very high annoyance level whenever I accidently touch it.
As for the experimenting well it didn't happen I just couldn't be bother at all so I settle for a large Pina Colada instead, which worked a treat..
Now I just have to put up with the slight gnawing pain I get it's very slight and this freaking cold I think I've gotten thrown back at me.
Oh and I find out that my dear dad don't like the ham I got for sunday dinner :| and he hasn't liked ham for a while, why oh freaking WHY could someone not have TOLD me that oh wait it's coming to me know Im supposed to be a MIND READER, roll on tomorrow so I can get back to work and some sanity, I don't know mother has honed the habit of "hovering" and I'm sorry its getting to me now, she don't even realize she's doing it either so can't see why I'm getting all tense!

It's a little better now..

Well it's a little better now the thing still annoys slightly but I was told it would for the next few days as for Jack n Capt. M. well I do like 'em both shame I can't think of a way to combo them in a glass with something else - 1 drink and you probably wouldn't care much about anything :P that reminds me of a time I thought hmm time to finish off the last of this Czechoslovakia plum brandy I had, how did I get that a good friend of mine used to go out with a girl from the country - she was a little crazy to say the least, anyway he brought back some "shop" stuff and some "Home made" stuff, the shop stuff was tame, the home made stuff hmm nice, just don't burp afterwards. Anyway back on topic, I did have some "WKD Blue" - it's basically a premixed vodak based drink - tastes bubblegum / raspberryish I just felt like I needed a change so I went to a mate who was erm "helping me out" in drinking 'em - let's erm mix these too shall we.. Well you can mix WKD aka WicKeD with port to make what is called around here as "Cheeky Vimto" because it would have the colour of vimto but a major kick. Anyway this had a kick a major one - we had enough for one glass each - believe me that was enough... I really didn't care much after that.
*hic*
I do like experimenting but not with too many different drinks in a night that tends to end up BAD...

An a week on.....

Well a week on and it's all change.
Mum got home on Monday much to me and my sister's surprise, she's still not 100% and is getting frustrated because she can't get out the word she really wants to say. Social Work has been involved they were here on Wednesday and again yesterday "assessing" what is needed - I feel this should have been done BEFORE mum got out but there you go that's how it works these days :|, None of us here are sure what's going on really so it's a fucking pain in the ass I've no doubt it will take a week or so to settle down I guess doesn't freaking help I have to be at work all day. My aunt went back home on Wednesday morning as I wouldn't let her miss her grandson's first Christmas and she wasn't going to either :), which brings me to another thing I tried to order her a nice bottle of 12 yr old Antiquary for a shop I know the specialises in whisky in Edinburgh but alas I mistyped my googlemail address - gogglemail ftw :| and thus it wasn't till I used another e-mail address that I found out the freaking bank had apprently declined my card - I called the bank they couldn't see WHY it would have happened as I have plenty funds in my account etc.. So I'll just have wait and see if I get the bottle at all. Works been a no-fun week as well which hasn't helped any. I'm looking forward to a oh so fun filled weekend (not!) as it looks like number 1 mug here will have to do all the shit mum usually did so no relaxation for me :|. Oh well at least I have Christmas day off work!
Goes to find a glass n some ice - I need something cold!

Here, There and somewhere else

Okay a recap of the last fortnight with me and what freaking fortnight it's been, that's 2 weeks for those that don't understand :P.
Well since mom's little slip she was fine the first week, work was okay as well getting stuff sorted out, work cleared done so it's clear over the Christmas break, it was working out just about....
Colleague handed in his notice, hmm if I was 1 he was a 1/2, a total freaking TOOL, never seemed with it at all really, he's gone to upstate NY to follow his "johnston" that's the most polite way I can put it.. Now last friday,the 30th,in the afternoon we all sat down and planned out what was jobs needed to be done for the next week, he was there and we said you'll have a few alarm services on various days and was needed here and there for stuff to which he agreed - week planned out, job done...... NO! I come in Monday morning, do what I normally do 9am comes and no colleague although his Time keeping was never good, boss gets a call and in a voice that sounded "typewriter" like he was told that basically something had come up and he wouldn't be back! The thing is he had his own tools in the back of one of the company vans and they were gone, they had to have gone on the Friday, so we then sat and replanned the week, I went with the boss to sort some of our kit for a customer and well let's just say the air in the van on the way was "Blue", So we struggled all week but got through it - would have gotten more done IF something I had asked to be changed had arrived when it was supposed to not 4 days and god knows how many calls later, we do that on tuesday. So nice stressful week at work.
Now scroll back to the friday, I comes in at my usual time, mum's okay asks me to go get something from the shop while she makes my fish n chips, never noticed anything, but I knew my aunt was coming up a day early to surprise her. You know what they say about the best laid plans... This one went tits up really badly..
My aunt has 3 daughters, middle daughter and her hubby were bring her up in the car, they didn't bother the tell eldest daughter what was going on and of course on the friday she went to visit her mum did she not, no mother so she phones the "world" instead of her sisters mobile, got mother slightly worried I tried to reassure her and keep the plan under raps but she couldn't get her nor my cousin who was coming up so she smelt a rat and was panic'd a little and got to know what was happenning.
I of course had to let everyone know she knew without letting her know.
Come 9pm when they were due mother wasn't feeling right and had slurred speech, so called a neighbour who's a nurse, she called the "nhs 24" helpline - they got an ambulance sent out and they let her out at around 1:30am after giving her the all clear - nothing was said about the bump on the head, she did look better, they reckon it was a mini-stroke, they gave it a fancy name but I can't rememeber it.
Now of course over the past week I've at work and not really been away of what's been going on I just thought she'd was tired due to the day she'd had but it turns out she's been tired all week :| and was feeling sick and generally not herself. So called the nhs24 line 3 times, 1st time no doctor was sent out, recalled it got a doctor out who gave her something for the nausea, the last time another doctor came out and looked at her said didn't think she needed to go in to hospital to let the tablets take effect and he'd try and get something arranged for today as it was an effort for her to go from her bed to the bathroom. He came back out this morning and looked at her again got her admitted to hospital where she's being looked at right now they're gonna do a scan sometime today or tomorrow morning at the latest.
How am I holding up, I'm doing okay - I know I have friends all over the place that are keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.

How do you top off a shitty week? (Additional)

Well I was told they can't operate but now I'm led to believe they might be able, he just needs to boost his weight a little, hmm he's less than 7 stone (98lb) so hmm we'll see, the specialist he's to see is one of the best so I'm guessing we'll just have to wait and see.
The day after he went in to hospital for something totally different - fluid on the lungs, I went to see a film rather than take mother into see him, well I'm sorry it had been a LONG week, I just needed to go out to totally switch off which around here is kinda hard :|, just been told off about that by the last person I'd have expected but then again my sister is full of surprises.
