3 Too Many

 So you had some insight to what 3:30am holds for me?  Shitty place, eh?  Fell asleep in a chair in the lounge and th cat woke me at about 5:30 I think basically telling me to head to bed.  I duely did, still over heating as it was in the mid twenties then still.  Then I was awake again by 6am in pain in my head – bloody Mofo’s!!  Broken sleep galore, but then really I doubt that anyone got a chance to get a good sleep with the heat last night in Canterbury, the rain in Southland and the wind in other places.  Well maybe the North Island and other countries escaped the weathers escapades. 

Wake to heavy rain then about 7:15am but still very warm.  Get up and get more meds into me, cuppa tea and login to work.  Get ready to face the day early today and then have breakfast, and settle into work.  Lachie is awake and playing on his iPod in bed and Jacob is away with the Sandman still – don’t blame him.  Wish I could still sleep like that.  Get on with some work and finishing what I was doing yesterday.  Feeling surprisingly good really for lack of sleep, pain in my head and mentally not in a good place.  Not so much on edge just need order today – strick order, if I am to be able to cope.  Set out a plan to get the boys to the movies at Riccarton so they’re out of my long flowing locks – hahaha – hair joke there in case you missed it   They head off to watch Parental Guidance, and then get home to tell me that the best bits are in the Ads –  so thanks Dad for the waste of our time – grumble, grumble – I didn’t choose the movie – I just sent them!  Sue gets home and we head to the Warehouse to get some cleaning things for the pool, and stop by the chemist to get more meds that I am waiting on.  Get home then to discover a dinner parcel on the doorstep – thanks Wendy, and Nutty and Tyler stop by.  I take a look at Tyler’s new laptop which has developed a small issue with the Audio drivers – so sort that out for him.  Sue heads off on a walk she had arranged with Wendy.  Nutty and Tyler take off too, and I get on with work.  The boys get on with fighting and arguing. 

Discover that Christchurch has now taken on the similarities of our Aussie neighbours and have fires springing up arround the city – some near where friends live, so are taking a close watch of these.  Also Beckenham School which is about 4kms away was set on fire this morning, so there are some idiots out there lighting these fires when things are like a tinder box.  Next the usual fools will set the hills alight as used to be a standard act when I was growing up, for people to do – burn the Port Hills off when it was hot Nor’west and dry as hell.  Some people just don’t really get it do they.  But having a rip snorter Summer here this year in Christchurch.

Have a quiet evening – managed my energy a lot better today, but my head is hurting something undesirable, and I need to get on to that before anything else today or it will ruin even tomorrow.  The way I felt about 6am this morning with pain had me really worried that I was in for another Saturday event as the pain kicked in, as normal, but kicked in really, really hard – with excruciating pain instantly.  Fortunately it died down and I won control back, but bugger me if I can do this everytime I have pain like this, though if I have to, I will – I know, I’m all talk!!  But priority tonight is preparing my enregency meds pack that are to be taken in a strict order  to quell the pain, and get me on my feet again, and not allow me to vomit.  Then on to the blog and maybe – just maybe if I’m still awake, watch some TV.  It won’t be a late night though by any means, as have to look fresh and keen as for the NM doctor tomorrow.  Hope all have had a great day/arvo/evening and an enjoyable day.  Take care and “keep cool til after school.”

Kia Kaha.
