Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year.

December 21, 2007 at 10:32 am · Filed under Blogroll ·Tagged ,

To everyone who reads this blog.

What have I been up to well I do know I haven’t been posting much of late, just a few small blog entries here and there. Well I must admit I haven’t been in the mood to blog so much of late, because of me doing the Call Centre course at Tafe not so long ago, and the death of a member of my family.

At the moment my Nan is staying with us, and she was hoping to fly home just after Christmas, but because of lots of people flying out somewhere. The earliest flight date to leave Australia to get back to the UK was on the 17th of January.

On to Facebook matters, I found some family members on there. :)

The Final Farewell

Said my final farewell to Auntie Rita last Wednesday at the funeral.  The funeral was a small quiet occasion. I saw some family members I haven’t seen in years.

Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye.

I’m glad the Howard government is gone, why because I felt they had become arrogant, and out of touch, with the people of Australia. Very much like the government that the Howard government replaced in 1996.

We all feel so helpless.

Thats how everyone feels right now, we would all love Auntie Rita to get better, but it’s not going to happen sadly. Saw my Auntie Rita yesterday, when we went over to pick up my Nan for some more shopping. Auntie Rita is now in a coma like condition with the drugs they are giving her. Auntie Rita has 3 types of drug injections, one for the pain, one for her anxiety, and another which I can’t remember what for exactly. Auntie Rita is on a drip too for her fluids, because if Auntie Rita drinks water it goes to her lungs now.

We are all shocked how quickly Auntie Rita has gone downhill so quickly. Last week she was conscious, and up in a wheelchair talking to everyone. Mark Auntie Rita’s other son is now here in Adelaide, with his wife who is also called Rita.

We just feel so helpless right now.

My Auntie Rita.

November 22, 2007 at 1:27 pm · Filed under thoughts. ·Tagged , ,

As I’ve mentioned briefly before, my Auntie Rita is very ill. She has terminal cancer and hasn’t very long to live at all. The doctors don’t think she will live to see Christmas next month. Right now my Auntie Rita is at her home, with my Nan, Auntie Stella, Jeff (Auntie Rita’s son) looking after her. Auntie Rita’s other son Mark is coming over on the weekend from Queensland, where he lives right now, because of how ill my Auntie Rita is right now.

 

Went over to see Auntie Rita on Tuesday, and she looked worse than what she did on Friday, when I helped Mum take Nan food shopping. It is quite distressing to see my Auntie Rita like this, because she is in so much pain all the time, she has pain killers. The drugs make my Auntie Rita hallucinate at times, and she can’t remember family anymore. In fact a very good friend of Auntie Rita came round on Tuesday as well, and they have been friends for years. Auntie Rita sadly didn’t know who she was.

 

On Friday depending how everything is, Mum and I are taking Nan out shopping for some more food to stock up on. I admire my Nan on how well she is coping with it all, but then again I’ve always known my Nan is tough. My Nan got my Mum through the hard times with me when I was a baby.

Ratdog’s Diary.

November 17, 2007 at 11:36 am · Filed under Blogroll, thoughts. ·Tagged , ,

This is just a little entry of the week I have had so far.

Sunday the 11th of November.

My Nan and Auntie Stella arrived from the UK to go and stay at my Auntie Rita’s house, and nurse Auntie Rita. My Auntie Rita is very ill at the moment.

Monday the 12th of November.

I went out shopping to buy some new sandals, because it is now into summer and I need to have some sandals on my feet.

Tuesday the 13th of November.

Errol the kitten arrived home. He is 8 weeks old and has had part of his tail removed, as the result of having a can of food thrown at him, by his previous owners.

Friday the 16th of November.

My Nan, my mum and I went shopping for food to take back to Auntie Rita’s place. Saw Auntie Rita and my Auntie doesn’t look very well at all. My Auntie Rita has cancer and is bed ridden, and is in a lot of pain. Its very sad to see my Auntie like that, but my Nan, Auntie Stella, and Auntie Rita’s son Jeff are looking after her all the time.

I just don’t know….

This might sound like a bit of a negative whinge, but a part of me kinda wishes I never joined the Facebook network, and joined my high school group page. Some of the reasons have been great such as getting in touch with people I haven’t seen or heard from for almost ten whole years. Its nice to know what they have been up to, and if they are married, and have kids etc.

Yet the negative side of it for me, and its probably in my mind. Is that with some of the people I went to school with, I was not always friends with, and its very hard while you are on the net, to know how they really think or feel about you. Are they more mature in their thoughts, about people. Or are they the same type of people, that they always were in high school.

I know I shouldn’t be negative, and maybe these very people are thinking the same thing, about myself. I’m I still the same person I was ten years ago…………I just don’t know. Somethings have changed about me, and other things haven’t. Maybe its the same for those I use to go to high school with all those years ago.

I think I much prefer Myspace to Facebook.
