memories

This morning I snoozed a bit longer than usual. Shannon was there between Suzi and I again. As usual, a need to relieve myself forced me out of bed. The bed was so nice and warm in the cold air. Tried hard to continue sleeping but Jethro insisted on demanding something while I was trying to sleep and the cat refused to stay off the bed.

Well, I had corn flakes and later Suzi boiled eggs and I made toast for it. We all had egg on toast and afterwards I made coffee.

We watched “SWITCH” (while the kids watched “Monster’s Inc.”); about the guy who is close friends with a girl, and the girl wants to have a child from a donor and is unaware the guy is in love with her and he accidentally swaps the donor sperm with his own in his drunk stupor.

She kept asking when I was going to visit my dad who was put in hospital yesterday on Millah’s birthday. I was keen to take it easy and go slow, enjoy the movie.

After the movie, Shez finally called to ask if she can bring the kids over, Suzi was very, very unhappy about that. So, I thought and thought and called my dad at the hospital. We chatted about how hard it is for us to learn from our mistakes. He said the chronic medication he was taking for his heart was lowering his blood pressure and after 5 years of taking it, was ruining his health. In the end He and Shez said they don’t want Bethany to wonder where he was, because it upsets her when he is ill or in hospital. I offered to fetch them, but for some reason they insisted. Suzi was so upset about this. That we argued and parted ways. I listened to music on my new Nokia X2 while she cleaned the yard and house.

I made some tea and lay on the trampoline while listening to Lark and Queen through faulty headphones that for some reason only played a part of the song (like the 1 side of the stereo track), so the song sounded totally different.

When Shez came she left pretty quickly because the Easter traffic was heavy and she wanted to get back in time for Hospital visitation time. Showed Shez the girl’s room and she chatted with Suzi before leaving

The kids and I looked at the birthday gifts Shez brought Millah and then we had toasted cheese and tomatoes.

Then the kids and I took the dogs to the country club for a walk in the forest. Jethro road his little red bike. We stopped in the trees while they played with sticks and then Shannon made a poo, so we had to take her to the dam to wash her since I didn’t have any toilet paper, but the water had receded so far, it was quite a long walk there and the kids stayed playing with sticks in the trees.

When we got back they bathed while I watched BBC’s “What makes a genius”.

We had a very cheesy pasta source together and then I typed this blog while they played.

I think so much of the day was wasted with our fighting. It’s funny how one just doesn’t have much going on when your closest partner is distant. One is suddenly more bored or less stimulated.

Then I sent this to the wrong blog which emailed it to a whole lot of people instead of here to my personal blog.

That’s the problem with having an alias for your own personal journal being too similar to an alias for a distribution email list! I’ve certainly fixed that to prevent future blunders.
