I have been up to not a lot. My latest favourite place is Pets at Home - how sad is that. The access is good. Everything needed for the animals is there. OH pays for it all if we go there which is a bonus. Our new rescued staffie has his boots under the table now and all his lovely idiosyncrasies are popping up daily. Umm chewing boots and shoes being one of them. Its great that he is finding his personality I think!!
I am 46 and have the biggest spot in the world on my chin, what the heck is all that about. New laptop*a present, means I have the luxury of lying in bed to blog which is great, unfortunately OH's snoring is not. Why do men snore so bloody loudly.
I am suffering from chronic sulking as all those attending the Australian Blogging Conference are having a fantastic time. Don't get me wrong I am pleased they are having a great time, just wish I was also.
Having upgraded Internet thingy whatsit am getting really very pissed off that I simply cannot maintain connectivity to even post this. So will contact them on Monday to patiently ask why. I say patiently because I don't feel very patient about it. At all. So I will have to pretend to be patient because I don't want to take out my frustration on someone who probably earns not a lot and I doubt its their fault. We can't get clever packages around these parts due to our location. I suppose if we lived in a big city I would get better. Sometimes I wonder whether we should move in fact. I have always lived rurally but wonder latterly if in fact my life would be easier if we didn't. Imagine I could get a mobility scooter, open the door and off I could go. I don't like crowds and such so would have to get used to that but I do wonder about it.
I wonder about a lot of things these days.
(Please excuse my poor grammar, lack of interesting content, sparse vocabulary, lack of wit, the lot, no excuse really just please put this down as a post of little interest).

My husband was a terrible snorer!! I feel for ya. He had surgery to clear out scar tissue in his airway from previous surgeries and that coupled with a CPAP mask has really helped! It's amazing how different he feels also, when he didn't even know he was feeling bad to begin with. No more day time sleeping and crashing during movies. =) No more morning headaches. =)
Anyway, it kills me every time you feel that you need to apologize for the content of your blog (although I do the same thing...) You should be able to feel like this is your space, like the inside of your head. And if the inside just happens to be jumbled one day, well then you are being true to how you feel, and that should be enough. Screw making the rest of the masses happy. =)
I laughed at your post (it was funny) because Alex snores something fierce but you see I am deaf so it does not bother me. He needs a CPAP mask though, it is that severe.
You said you wonder about moving. We will have to move again (ah, bloody hell) next month and hopefully Alex will have a job before then but anyway... we do plan to move to a less rural area no matter what so things are easier for me for the reasons you stated... I am tired of being frustrated and at this "stage" of my life, coupled with disabilities I am not going to add inaccessibility to my problems if that makes sense. So away we go, next month!
I think you know what's best for you. =)
I agree with Trish. You shouldn't apologise. This is your space. I'm always interested to hear what you have to say.
Thank you both xoxoxoxo
I can only agree with the other comments. Your blog, your space. And who of us is always interesting? Though I also have to add I liked this post. Even though services and facilities aren't as good in rural areas for me the trade off would be quality of life. We moved to a city years back and I still regret it.
Stay as well as you can.
hey achelois
we have a local pets at home, which rosy is allowed into. i normally show here the hamster type animals, she is soooo funny.
theres me thinking the country life would be good. maybe going to the parks make me think being amongst nature is more healing. i suppose we cant have it all.
very, very, foggy at the moment. seems like its lasting a long time at present. forgetting things all the time. probably the pots.
hope you and your daughter are ok.xxx
Nothing wrong with enjoying looking at treats for your little doggy. I get stuck in the pets section at my local garden centre. I think I lavish cash care and attention on my animals as other people might take pleasure in shopping for their kids!
No idea what spots are about after the age of thiry. I'm 37 and been battling with an adult acne flare up for the last few years. Thankfully I have discovered how to prevent those really nasty ones appearing. Horrible things! I was too ashamed to show my face most days :(
Internet connection isn't any better in urban areas. I persuaded my Dad to get us back with BT but have found it to be slow and unpredictable at times. So much for the lightening fast connections. I'm so happy for you that you have a laptop now though. I'm in bed with the electric blanket on full blast blogging too.
PS. I agree with the previous comments. No apologies please for your wonderful posts! I love the sincerity in the way you write. x
Welcome Elephant's Child welcome.
Coffeecup I love your blog for the same reasons. Thank you.
em I think the coutryside is healing, generally as an environment to live in. I get frustrated not being able access enough of it!
I hope you start feeling better soon I have to go away next weekend for a family do thingie and frankly I just want to stay in bed.
gentle hugs
I would have changed your sheets. :)
Aww Kim blessyou
You had virtual company, wishing you could have been attending the Aussie Bloggers Convention- me! I've blogged for several years now and read quite a few of the popular Aussie blogs to great enjoyment and sometimes cackable amusement! My main [whinge] reason for not going was economic- no job, no money...whinge, whinge, whinge! But I lived. By the way, I have a friend here in Adelaide who only discovered she suffered Ehler's-Danlos in her fifties! She'd always had velvety skin (I was amazed at the texture!), joints that were "double" or kept popping out, several joint reconstructions that wouldn't heal etc etc. No doctor diagnosed her either- she discovered on the internet (having worked in hospitals for umpty years), her mum was a coroner/pathologist and her dad had died youngish from some side issue with ED! I wonder why the orthopedic surgeons didn't detect it? Anyway at 64 she has trouble walking and with housework/shopping. Her husband is legally blind so can't drive and she is his carer! I must phone her and get her to blog! That will be if she can stand dislocating her wrists and thumbs so many times while she types! An iPad might be good...what do you think?
Hi Achelois I feel we have a lot in common as I have 2 staffies and a large spot on my cheek (arrgh - waiting for it go away but it's not so I may have to go to the doc to see what that's about) and I'm 46! No EDS though.
I just read about your house party in the posh hotel - it sounded heavenly. I particularly liked your reminiscence about the car journeys.
Keep writing whatever you want & no need to make excuses! Cheers Jane
