THURSDAYS THOUGHTS BY FIONA CUMMINGS


Good afternoon. Today I have Hubs dog for the day he didn’t go to work with Daddy today, Hub got picked up by taxi no trains today and Hub has the worst migraine and he has five people to interview today so it would mean that poor Little Fella would be laying down all day that he is quite used to because Hub works in an office but Hub has made his desk so there is lots of room if LF needs a stretch and he has a couple of quiet toys in his bed and sometimes a lovely member of staff takes LF out for a free run, but during interviews it would be unfair to the people getting interviewed.

 

So, I can hardly hear you for eight paws clip clip clipping along the wood floor and squeaky toys. Of course, as ever, they only want the toy that each other has. Why they both need the same toy, is beyond me. They have had a run around the yard and I will groom them later. My Son has a delivery coming. Another pair of swimming trunks for his holiday. Seriously, three pairs? Why? He says he is there fifteen days. And? They will dry whilst they are on him. And, they are £25 a pair. How can they charge so much for trunks?

 

I have booked the taxi too for our break of two nights. We are going away with our friends just to Northumberland. I can’t wait. We need to chill. And to have food cooked for us, oh it’s a treat. We will take a train but the taxi company is one I booked last time as it’s twenty minutes from the station to the place we are staying. The station we are going to is awful. The staff there well, one of them she is dreadful. Let’s say, moronic or, Very unhelpful. She certainly didn’t hew to situation and had or has no intention of doing so. Never will a person like her try to change for anyone. But we the four of us have got on trains before many times without help, just this train is always full and it’s a long journey so need to make sure we are in the right seats.

 

I love our blind adventures. The four of us are just so funny. We of course will have our guide dogs. But oddly enough, they can’t read seat numbers, despite what some members of the public think. Smile.

 

Gosh, what a night I had. Hub was really ill. A migraine mixed with his Trigeminal Neuralgia, wasn’t pretty. It was as if he was drugged. He watched TV with me, but only to keep me company as he really wasn’t in this world. He said the voices on the TV were echoing. He went to bed earlier. I told him to go much earlier, but he wouldn’t.

 

TN is a dreadful condition. I think it is a total disgrace the so-called specialists treat people with it as if they are mad. Like it’s psychosomatic. I do believe that stress causes it to flair up, but the wording that is used at hospitals is shocking. Very condescending. When I first met Hub, he was so much worse, he is never ever out of pain, but when we first met he told me he had been in hospitals many times with it, mind you, I’m not surprised the people he lived with then, he had no life. The bad old days.

 

My Son was at Shamrocks until half two this morning. So, I can’t sleep until he is home. This is why when he is away for over two weeks, I am going to be ill. When he gets home, all my loved ones are safe I breathe a sigh of relief. My whole body and that’s a lot of body, sinks into the mattress. Like a humungous “Few””

 

But last night was prolonged. As I lay awake worrying about my lovely lady in America, who had open heart surgery a week and a half ago, she was on breathing machines after it and developed pneumonia and last night had to have a blood clot dealt with, so, another operation. She is very strong in life, but this is tough for someone young, but she is in her eighties. I felt for her daughters too. I know what it’s like to have a Mum in hospital ill. I really believe if my poor Mum had stayed out of hospital, she would have lived longer. Mind you, she was treat really badly in there and, my Dad came so close to predicting her parting of this world a couple of weeks before he died. He said to her so seriously that she would be six months behind him, and she died five and a half months after he did.          

 

I have done something on FaceBook that I never do, one of those silly games you write something as your status and everyone who comments or reacts, you pass on the info. They are only allowed to write what is on the list as their status. Really, some of the options, heck. I won’t yet go into them as will spoil it for those who takes these games seriously but all night my iPhone was pinging and dinging. Haha.

 

I thought three or four friends would comment or react. Em. Nope. So far, nineteen.

So, I have to message all of them and copy and paste the answers they can choose from.

 

Dinner tonight is easy. BW eating from a box as we call it. He buys this fit food, Hub is having semi fit food, and me? Fat food. There’s really no hope for me.

               

I made a lovely turkey dinner last night so I will do some pasta and veg for Hub and he can have it with left over turkey. BW has his bought ready-made food. It’s freshly made, but it’s like aeroplane food, hardly any in it. He has lost so much weight. He is weight lifting and now can lift almost nineteen stone squatting where he goes down on the floor and lifts whilst standing up then back down again. 19 stone is about 12.66 kg. 266 lbs.

 

It can’t be good for you that, can it? I don’t like it at all. I can’t smile and be happy for him though I do try my best as I know it’s something he is very proud of.

 

I wish I could ask a medic what will that do for his body in time. I’m very proud he has not been tempted to take steroids. Gosh I can not believe just how many people do that. My Son and the lad he used to go with to the gym are the only two that lift weight who don’t do them. It’s disgusting. There is a bin in the changing rooms to put your needles in. Shocking, why is there not a law on it? So, my Son has his amazing body because of hard old-fashioned work, oddly enough, nothing to do with me. Haha. Though he has got my chunky long legs as his father had short legs considering his height and very skinny.

 

My Hub has been really cutting down on food for two weeks now and has lost 8 lbs. But he has almost been starving. Only one meal a day. Like our dogs, once every 24 hours. His willpower is amazing. So, will the last fat person in the house stand up please?

Yep, my name is Fiona and I am a biggin. Having said that, my boy told me this morning I looked beautiful. Bless. It wasn’t dark either. Haha.

 

OK, I’m rambling so I shall go before  you all fall a sleep. Yesterday broken records again over 760 views in one day. You all are the best. X
