I need to get back into the blogging frame of mind, some pictures would be nice, the problem is I tend to post stuff on Facebook although not much, so I don’t bother with here which is wrong. I despise Facebook really and the idea of having my own URL was so that I could play around with it and hopefully learn some some stuff about how it all works. At the moment Lisa is in hospital and I’m really impressed with the attention she is getting and she seems to have everybody on their toes, Mr Pascall her consultant really has made it apparent to his colleagues the level of care Lisa deserves. The idea is to weigh up the consequences, and compromise between how long her pelvis can hold on before there is any significant damage and allowing the baby as long as possible before a cesarean section as there are other risks to the baby if born pre-term. A very important decision will have to made by us after all tests are complete, an MRI scan looks imminent which will provide a good idea of what the risks are to Lisa’s hips if gestation continues for longer. I can only hope that it all goes smoothly and Lisa and the Baby come out the other end healthy.

It’s rather odd the fact I am up at 6.40am on a Saturday. Though I’m not complaining I love mornings like this, it’s cool the sun is shining and the birds are singing, I actually feel like going for a wander over the downs but probably wont. I will probably just knock up some brekky and a nice cup of coffee and savour the moment, the lull before the storm so to speak. Today’s agenda includes a haircut as I look like a complete numpty at the moment, not sure what else, I will try and slip the gym in along the way as I am verging on fat bastard stage once again, back up to 103Kg, I did get down to 98Kg at the end of last year but gave up my routine because a change in circumstances, 5Kg is 11lb, not far of a stone. Health continues to degrade, asthma is getting worse to the point of using an inhaler 4 times+ a day, itchy episodes and generally feeling like a sack of shit all the time.

Lisa is really bad today and I couldn’t leave her in so much pain so I rang work and said I would be home looking after her, her Mum is over tomorrow so I can get in but it makes me wonder how we will cope with my work as she gets worse. There are possibilities We’ve considered, maybe organising some work I can bring home which shouldn’t be a problem as I have a workshop area set up in the garage, any schematics I could draw up will mean I will need to bring home the PC with Proteus Design Suite installed as we only have the one licence up to date. I couldn’t possibly opt to go part time temporarily as my wage is crap as it is and money is a big issue at the moment. There is one problem with this, we never know when she will wake up bad and it would be impractical to bring work home every night, so I guess I’ll just go with the flow for now and have a chat to the powers that be about what can be arranged for the future.

I have been forced to upgrade WordPress (something I had been putting off now for 3 years!), this comes as my site harboured some illicit text intended to upload a little malware to any visitors, luckily it didn’t actually work and from all the analysis of information I have done over the past month or so I have proved no other site has been infected as a result. I have scrutinized every byte within my domain and identified the offending code and rewritten those files infected, finally Google have carried out a review of Lemsworld.com and are are happy it is now clean and therefore removed their block, so it is now it is all up and running… Yay!

Aha, so in a surprisingly good mood this morning! Having been to the hospital with Lisa last night and woken by a thunderstorm early in the morning I woke up feeling like crap. Hay fever seems to be kicking in which is about right, my hay fever is slightly unorthodox in respect that I don’t suffer as a result of a high pollen count, but come mid July I suffer quite a bit until end of August. So this morning I take this pill to sort it out and I feel great now… I’m not sure what it was or whether it was legal but to be honest I don’t care much.
Michael Jackson songs all over the radio as he is now dead, the jokes have been coming forth all morning, years ago after a tradgedy of sorts, jokes would be spread moreby word of mouth and take longer to mature and people would be more selective and as a result they would be quite well thought out and funny, nowadays with mobile texts and email any idiot can make up a crap joke and forward it to everyone in his address or phonebook who don’t necessarily have enough of a sense of humour to understand the difference between a good or bad joke, who then forward to all in there contact list and so on with geometrical progression until the very fact that we British are renowned for taking a humourous stance towards catastrophe actually doesn’t stand true and we all look like a bunch of low life numpties!

It.6.08am on a Saturday morning! After I suffered all week dragging my arse out of bed eyes bloodshot with about as much energy as one of those zinc chlouride batteries with Japanese writing you get for your remote when you buy a new TV or Set-top box. Every time I exhale it sounds like echoes of the voices of a thousand dead souls, I have been given a peak flow meter to blow into and a Ventolin inhaler by my Doctor and have some kind of consultation on Monday. I must say the Ventolin doesn’t seem to help a lot, although Lisa’s Becotide inhaler works a treat, anyway I can’t moan, I’m more surprised I haven’t had breathing problems before after some of the stuff I inhaled in my mis-spent youth.

Sitting in my new life drinking cider from Middle Farm, am I happy? I think most definitely would be the answer, would I change anything if I could? Well of course I fucking would, nobody’s life is perfect, but on a score of 1 to 10; I would say it’s about an 8 and that must be good. Work most probably will become more interesting as Roland Mr Electronic Design Engineer disappears to have a baby and the rest of our department will be required to fill in for him. I thumb twiddle at work sometimes, I enjoy the design side of things but I work with a different set of tools, I think outside the box, this is how I have proved my worthiness in the engineering spectrum, but I’m needed to help initiate procedures… Procedures! No bugger would understand them, I need a chat with Richard Feynman. I work alone.
Jade has buggered off on holiday with her mate till Friday so I’m gonna be worrying about her, the bastards at Cricklewood Electronics sent me the wrong package of transistor for my amplifier! And to top it all my pasta has just boiled dry!!! If these can be the total of my worries throughout life I will be very lucky, but I doubt it.

“Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common. [No Shit]
When it is transmitted, it does not always cause human influenza; often, [only pig flu] the only sign of infection is the presence of antibodies, detectable only by laboratory tests.[Since when do you have lab tests for common flu?]
When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic (A disease which can be spread from animals to humans) swine flu. [We don’t know the source of every case of flu, do we now]
People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. [No mention of Mexico here]
Only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th Century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. (Eating pork does not pose a risk of infection.) [But snogging a pig?]
Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. [Sounds like a mother of a hangover to me].”

Bit of a wierd mood, sitting in front of a TV watching crap while listening to traffic passing by, contemplating. I suppose with all the changes going on it’s only natural to feel a little odd… The things that normally exist within my comfort zone don’t seem to have a place at the moment and that concerns me, the future holds some reassurance as I arrange things to make me feel more at home. I’m looking forward to settling into the new house and re-establishing a sense of normality back into my life, although slightly anxious I am also hugely relieved, this is going to be a busy weekend.

Sunday AM as per the norm, moving into new house; picked up the keys Wednesday and have acquired the company estate car so have been moving a majority of the smaller stuff. Yesterday Jade helped me build her bed and desk and we more or less completed her room, the rest needs more in the way of larger furniture to be moved in when I get the Van Friday and my Bro will be chipping in Saturday, we hope to lay on a few munchies in the evening in a semi house warming as a thanks for peoples’ help and to anyone who wants to pop along for a nose.
