3 Too Many

“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” – Gilbert Chesterton

Please excuse the lateness of this episode of Tonys sucky battle with cancer! Well fiesty from yesterday has turned asshole today. Don’t know if its the weather or lack of sleep or just the other side of me that I’ve been suppressing, breaking free. Either way not a day for tolerating fools. Stuff all sleep last night and what sleep I did manage was not really restful. Wake with the usual grumbles and curses – pain here, pain there, pain every bloody where!  Head off to make a cuppa and indulge in my morning consumption of  8 pills! Thats just to kick start my day so I can function.  Take te drink back to bed so I can stay warm and read the news and emails. Jacob comes and climbs into bed as well.  Then Lachlan does too, and finally the cat. Give up and head down to help do some gardening.

Fantastic sunny day and Sue is already out working. Dad calls and we yarn for a bit about a couple of things on the go. Decide if I’m gardening then its going to involve power tools! Dad comes and gets me and I drive the ute back to home as we’ll need it. Yes – I drove. Eeeww naughty I know, but f it! And no rightous comments from the cheap seats. Get home after informing several people of their lack of driving abilities , and demonstrating to pimple face git that yes V8’s are loud and fast and dispose of shitty little riceburners very easily. Would’ve been more fun if I had the Typhoon.  See not in a will play nicely mood.

First power tool up – scrubcutter. Attack the hedge on the drive happily. Job done. Next chainsaw. Attack under supervision the trees along the driveway. Two hours later stop attacking trees and have lunch.  Power tools are a great outlet for anger aren’t they? Load the ute up and head to the dump with the first of 2 loads. Have fun again driving and enjoying the feeling of freedom. Oh and winding up the other drivers Clean up outside and yes another power tool – leaf blower/vacumm. Jacob takes over then as got to share the power!

Get cleaned up and head over to Roh and Andys for dinner and to watch the rugby. Have a lovely evening watching sport, chatting, eating an awesome dinner and having a couple of Bourbons.  Thanks for the lovely evening guys helped wth the mood briefly. And thanks for calling Scotty. Walk home about 1am. Do M&D time – then try to go to sleep. Still awake at 2:30 so decide to do the blog. So sorry its late publishng tonight but I don’t expect you to understand really – well actually I do take your worst day multiply it then trow in a sore head that is peeing you off as it won’t stop, and pain all over that is just crappy – even my little fingers hurt. Sick of it today.  Hope all have had an brilliant day and enjoyable evening.

Kia Kaha.
