Sunday 22 April Ramble
April 22, 2012 — HeadlessWell late night – thanks neighbours! Early start – thanks tumors! Figured may as well be proactive and write Saturdays Blog early Sunday morning before you early readers rise from your sleeping pits wanting the latest ramble
Energy levels suck completely today – already worn out. I have figured it is not tiredness (sleep deprivation, mental clarity), it is fatigue I am suffering (mental to muscle ability to co-ordinate properly, lack strength, etc). And I think I know why – I have been working hard on getting control of Wilson (the youth of today take so much more effort why can’t a left hand accept it will be the less dominate one – there is only about 11.3% of the world that are lefties) – that I am mentally taxing myself so much more making one body part work correctly. The best news though is I am winning!! Wilson has been under heavy training and is starting to play his part in complete body function – even helping a bit to type this blog.
Sweet – quake coming through swrilly one – about a 3.8 I reckon from Southshore – Odd thing is the first time I’ve heard the walls make a clicking sound with a shake. Oh well think that is now shake number 11000+ – can’t remember the features of them all.
Next bit to rein in now is the steroid and their side effect of not telling my tum it is full. The big downside of this is that my taste buds have gone AWOL. Nothing has a flavour anymore I bush my teeth 5 times a day still nothing mouth wash, hew gum – yuck!!! But have a huge appetite. Going to start tracking my food intake again so I can try to get some bit of management over the eating desire. And no that doesn’t just mean sorting my jelly beans into colours then by number of them.
Got an awesome huge gift basket surprise from our Otatara – Invercargill friends – Shona Tomlins; Karen Thompson; Kerstin Krumerer; Sue Fleet; Sarah Lovell; Sandi Edwards; Sandra Tuckey & Toni Furguson – you ladies are what makes Invers the best small city in NZ in my books. Old fashioned NZ living in semi rural, an always an open door and a welcome smile. Thank you so so much.
Quiet arvo – went to find slippers – I know granddad! Then to visit Nana. Then home for tea.
Had a lovely visit then from Paul & Helen with a lovely supply of gifts too – yum Cake Helen – thanks from my out of control tum! Was great to catch up – best of luck with the horse on Thursday & thanks for the tips. Hope dinner was yum too.
Well folks that’s about it for today really. Thankfully no leg tremors coming back – just ground ones (the earlier one i mentioned was logged as a 3.9 off Southshore http://www.canterburyquakelive.co.nz/QuakeMap/Single/ ) – not a bad guess eh??
MaD (Milo & drugs) time now. Til the morrow. Those about to go sleeping – sleep well – those about to enjoy Sunday have fun. Those not reading on the right day – get with the game

Hey Tony, glad you liked the gift basket. A bit tricky for us to drop off baking or a casserole!! I am guilty of reading your last 7 or 8 blogs in one night because, duh, I only discovered the next tab at the top of the screen today. Am very new to this, and didnt think you had added anything. What a twit. Love your humour…glad you’re getting to do the stuff you love (soccer etc). Hope your treatment starts up sooner than 7 May!! Loved seeing Lachie too by the way. He and Caleb had a great time here playing round, and Caleb was just sad that it was only for a few hours, and said it just wasnt long enough! Maybe he could come and stay here some time!! Bye for now. Must get to bed!! Thinking of you all!!
