Fireworks in the rain..

.. why??? Is there something going on tonight that I'm not aware of? Or are people round here just stark raving bonkers?

Just to update on a few things I've neglected to mention in the last few days...
Much goodness:
Stayed in last night snuggled up with jase, watching comedy stuff on telly.. was good to spend snuggles with each other.. spec' after my stresses of the last few days.. I know it may sound real mushy.. but I love him to bits..
My sister Clare, who lives in Leeds, sent me an early b'day pressie in the post this morning... mini Living Dead Doll to go with t'other mini one i have...Neil Gaiman's Endless Nights Special comic...Revenge of the Fillerbunny comic (source of pixiekix 's cute icon...carnelian jewellery.. and a Betty Boop card.. the girl is ace.. you wouldn't think I'm 28 on Tuesday tho'!!
Getting my new CD DJ decks from cash Converter from Liam's brother!!.. oohh.. my baby...they spanky.. and kewl..me like.. means i can DJ in more places now... just need a wee amp, so I can try them properly at home now. (can use headphones.. but not really same thing)
Mucho Midian folks turning up and boogying lots.. and some kewl thoughts on how to decorate the venue for hallowee'n..
Finally getting my psych referral thru' for the 30th Sept.. this is much earlier than i thought it'd be.. just really nervous about it now tho'...

Much pooness:
My Dad being admitted to Hospital with extremely high blood pressure.. ECGs, loads of tests etc and they still can't find out the root cause... he only went to the Docs cos' he had a buzzing noise in his ear!! I'm just glad that that was his warning sign.. the man in the next bed to my Dad had had a minor heart attack.. and he had a lower blood pressure than my Dad. Went to see him in hospital last night with one of my sisters,Lorna, my bro mark and my Mum. Hate hospitals.. my Dad's very bored, as I would be... far too stuffy in there too. Cheered my Dad up with some stupid stuff, and jokeyness.. he looked like he needed it. My Dad always takes on too much.. he's constantly doing stuff for the church he and my mum are part of. They rely on him FAR too much. He does lay preaching amongst other things there. Even while he's been in hos, my Mum has had phonecalls asking when he's back.. I understand the worthiness of praying for him.. i just wish they'd do some physical good first and stop mithering him.
I've also found out that after a break of over 10 years he's started smoking again.. this has made me very angry.. especially after how proud i was that he gave up in the first place, all those years ago. He also neglected to go back to his GP for check-ups, after they warned him his blood pressure may be getting high..this was about a year ago..
It makes me sad.. i want my dad to be about for when/if I ever have any grandkids for him.. I want him about for many more years yet.. it scares me to see my strong Dad so vunerable.. :(
But he's being looked after well.. and I'm sending him some good thoughts.. so hopefully he'll be ok...

Apart from that.. I'm in a surprisingly good mood today..
Errrmm..
that's all for now..
setlists when i can be bothered :p

My mum's just developed very high blood pressure & is on a diet - she's been told she's got to lose 2-3 stone or risk having a stroke. If it doesn't come down, she'll get put on tablets for life, which along with her asthma inhalers, gout tablets & HRT will keep the chemist's in profit for years...! Well, the good Xtian folk at your dad's church should be bloody well praying for his recovery, not mithering him in his sickbed!!
