Résumé
.
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
.

.
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
.
.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
.
.
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
.

and there with the grace of *insert deity of your choice* go I. . .*
.

I'm still going. . .

.

at some stage I'll get around to coming (no, not that sort of coming)(the visiting sort of going/coming) (*sigh*)

.
I know how lucky I am and I'm going to make the most of that and what it has given me; you're jolly lucky too, dear reader, that I haven't inflicted Climb Every Mountain** on you as today's tune for the day. . .

*(I'm not going all joyous born again on you) (but, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, and if that suits you - great)

**. . .altho TSoM fans out there can hum along with me quietly in the background! (and then let's sing "somewhere in my youth, or childhood, I must have done something good" shall we? cos nothing comes from nothing, eh) (altho I know that that works both ways, but I'm not going to dwell on that) (I'm actually going to dentist, as my botched root canal job is kicking off again)

.

more fun and games when I return later dear reader; but if not today, I do promise that there will be Crunchies, popcorn and elephants for the enjoyment of tomorrow
.

with much love

ILTV, still, listens to some good advice

the nursing staff here are amazing
.
consistent

different views,
different lives,
different opinions,
different ages,
different backgrounds

but consistent to the last wo/man

"look after number one:
if you're not at you're best,
how can you give your best to your children?"

.
I have recently decided that I do not want to be dead: I want to be alive; this presents a whole host of what I had previously considered to be unsolvable problems, which I now have to solve

the first is how to look after myself

properly, I mean. . .

. . .so I don't end up in the state I ended up in only a very short while back (I think I spared you most of it, dear reader; and if I didn't, I certainly didn't intend to share it) (my blogs always start off trying to be about the good things in life - of which there are many - but you can never escape the truth, can you, and it has an unpleasant habit of creeping in unannounced and jumping out of a dark corner at you in a totally unexpected fashion) (perhaps the trick is to forget one's carbon footprint, and leave the lights on full blast so there are no dark corners)

anyhow, I shan't rabbit on* (which reminds me - the first thing I'm going to do when I get out of here, or wherever I'll end up next, is watch Local Hero) (have recommended that film to three people recently and keep thinking "if I like it that much, why don't I watch it more often?")

if you haven't seen it it's well worth renting or buying

and talking about watching films I have some fantastic celebrity gossip which I am not privy to share with you

but then, we agreed the other day I'm not going to stoop that low; however "low" I've been personally, I wouldn't go so low as to ever ever ever invade someone's privacy or disclose something about someone else's private life

that's not what a blog is for, is it

*and I'm not quite as sad a bunny as I was a while ago!

slighty better. . .

(but I have had a valium,
due to an earlier trauma. . .)

(lots of love and hugs in return for yours)
(yes - you!)
