Holding it together even if a bit shaky

Well it's getting towards that time of year again, Christmas :)....
Well I thought today I'll go and get all the Christmas cards and start and get them ready to post out to my far away friends and their families. Yes I mean You dear reader, well many of you, some of you may read this and be disappointed that no card appears, I can hardly send a proper card to an e-mail address so some of you may end up with e-cards.
I was in my usual card shop getting cards, the boxes of card for friends, and the special ones for family. Well there I got smacked with it right in the kisser, "To Mum and Dad at Christmas" or similar and well it got me for a moment, I had a little cry to myself which thankfully no-one saw and composed myself once again when Slade - Christmas Time came on, that helped :) a lot.

So dear friends, when your sending out your cards this year, remember those who've lost someone this year.

So across the miles, virtual or otherwise here a great big hug from me to you guys out there, keep on smiling.

News....

Yes well I am alive, functioning as a human no idea!
Work right now is crap someone doing my head in, it's causing me grief and argh I just wanna forget work so I've been playing lots of WoW and CoH etc and throwing myself into doing other stuff.

The house is coming along nicely, apart from my mother and my sisters doing each others heads in they are so alike it's unreal.

I had to go and get another keyboard and mouse as well I think I wore the mouse out or I didn't charge the batteries enough so it kept screwing up..

... The End seems near, maybe / other stuff...

Well the title says it all really, the end is coming, how soon I don't know but right now it's not a pretty sight, I mean there wasn't much to my dad as it was but now there is even less. My Aunt has been up all week which has helped out a lot, she's managed to have a calming effect on mum which has helped greatly although she has a few times tested my patience. My Aunt is away home went home the same way she came by bus which of course I drove her to catch, there was no way I'd have not taken her :). So it's back to cooking I suppose :P. Yeah dad is doing okay just about holding it together, he sometimes sleeps downstairs in his nice reclining chair - well sometimes being a lot of the time now as I we can fully cover him up and put the chair almost flat so he's comfortable enough and warm enough.

What else have I been doing this week well let me see:
Me and the Boss both got pissy at a PCB design program that basically worked but didn't print on the printer he had - it worked before so we knew it should work again, yet the printer printed from other programs so it was weird - turns out it was the printer as he plugged in an older model and ..... PCB prints.
Got a few alarms sorted out. I'm sure there was more but right now mind it's blank.

I was able to get out last night to see a movie but due to the weather we've been having my friend decided it would probably be best to stay at home as it was freaking windy over her way - not nice really. I went to see "Jumper" good film, it did leave it open for a "Jumper 2" - of course it had the obvious twist in it but I'm not going to say anymore other than if you liked matrix n Bourne then you might like this. I also saw a few trailers for other films which I might just go and see too.

"May Peace walk beside you and in your heart forever."

There are people out there that just by being there are helping keep me sane and strong. Just remember true friends are there always, you can lean on them for support, so Barb if ya think you don't got the strength to carry on, lean on me, lean on Laura.

It's Friday!

Yeah I made it to the end of the week alive, although only just I do feel positively crap to put none to fine a point on it, The boss is to blame as he gave this freaking wonderful stinking head / chest / any space inbetween type cold I have. My head only pounds now and then it's my sinuses are all stuffed up and no matter what I do I cant unstuff 'em I mean I can breathe clearly through nose just still feel it right between the eyes. I'm drinking fluids galore to try and keep throat moist and I'm eating strepsils to keep it numb enough. It's weird thought my head only really annoys me 1st thing in the morning when I hit work, could be the atmosphere in there, someone seems to like it WARM, turns up the heating, this is dispite the fact the room has enough monitors in it to keep it warm!
Oh and the bosses little chat never happened he couldn't remember what he wanted to talk to me about so it can't have been that important :D. Now to the weekend and the cooking, shopping and freaking Ironing to do, certain things I HATE ironing and I've got a few of them to do, i.e anything bigger than a large towel and I hate it basically so bedding is out too hard to try and keep flat! Right off to try and get something to burn to DVD and then maybe a destressing watching of said item.

*cough**splutter*

Kraznox, yeah I know it's not a real word, just some made up word from Ant Bully but it pretty much sums up how I feel. I have a cold, a nasty one that's got me from head to chest and all areas in between. I've tried lemsip, it helps a little but does NOTHING for me. So I'm on the neurofen and strepsils and LOADS of tissues for my nose.. I mean it so bad I can't even be bothered to play World of Warcraft, just sit and watch a DVD with some popcorn - reminds me must test out pop corn I got ;). I managed today to screw the other works van well not really just that the link between gear stick and gearbox came loose thankfully wasn't doing any speed just turning van, oh that and a Woman today pulled out basically in front of me in her car didn't look was like "NO!!!"
Boss was to discuss a few things tomorrow not sure what and I get a feeling I may not like it, More later.
Right now to just pick a DVD and put that popcorn on.

Crash goes my perfect driving record...

Well I guess it had to happen at some point, you know the inevitable automobile accident. I had mine yesterday, in the works van thankfully - well in a way anyway. I was driving back to HQ from a new office in the van, it was snowing, road turning getting slippery, I was driving a road I drive everyday practically as it's a way from work to home as well. I come up to a bend see 2 cars stuck on the bend hazards lights on, I stop to let traffic coming down the road passed, I look think yeah it's clear to proceed, go to drive off no grip, by the time I had grip car was coming the other way, smack I was able to stop I don't think the other car had any grip what-so-ever, that and they'd only just got the car why they were driving that road in those conditions in a newish car is beyond me. Anyway my bumper smacked right into the middle of the other cars front grille, not pretty. Police were called, insurance details exchanged, with the insurance company now, I may be charged under the road traffic act, great there goes my clean drivers license :( :( :(. I would have posted this yesterday but was too numb to post anything meaningful about anything and I'm beginning to go that way again so I'll stop now..
