"A Chara"

Well, as twisted as this might be, it isn't anywhere near as representative of the Winter I've had, and a very unpleasant 12 hells of Winter, using that Christmas ditty, would not be a difficult task to populate lyric wise ~ except ~ out of all this, I'm finding that little pesky thing called dyslexic is not allowing me to ignore it, in bumping into walls and wondering off the cliff of a sentence, or into a wall of babble, of my own making.

Oops!? It looks like some of that is leaking out here.

None of my woes are as bad as others, but here's a slight sample of the madness and the maddening, and things worse for someone else ~

Two rediculous and weird infections, including my whole right arm being out of commission and not letting me sleep. The pain there grew from lemon sized to a ver distorted and large red grapefruit, pain from the back of my hand to the shoulder, and it couldn't touch anything without agony, including trying to slip on a coat or shirt... So, those two ills, and the one unlisted was worse, like someone had kicked me in the goolies and taken a 2x4 repeatedly across my back ~ AAAAA!!! And then ~ those damned horse pills, antibiotics that had their own way with me. I don't need to describe that, some of you are probably already grimacing or laughing.

I'm not through, two, yes TWO, cracked teeth ~ unnnhhhh!!! Chill blanes, which are rare with me, this being probably the third time in a long life, like someone had taken a power sander to my right toes and at least exposed the nerves.

But all that is just physical stuff, most of it new to me, but hey, I can suffer, I have my own cupboard of hair shirts and whips. The worse was this ~ A HUGE barney with me da, who is a red necked shove it your face tyrant. You'd expect I was an adult, greying, and could deal with this. Well, you'd be wrong. Everything else had worn down my patience and in the end of a run of trying to understand him and get some respect for myself and my wife ~ I told him to F**K OFF!!! We haven't spoken since. And there's my dear ma, who is not well. Somewhere I'll have to find a way to get past that jerk, meaing me da... GRRRRRR!!!

But hey, that isn't new, that I can set aside too, and my wife can forgive me, fortunately for my irritability in general and my occassional lack of sense, I'm lucky there.

It seems we also had some eruptions locally with a certain other tyrant, two autocrats in a row, me da and this other twit, but while that was long burning and painful, some resolution has been achieved by the grace or intervening others. The outcome, if 'stress' has anything to do with everything else, was me resigning from all my teaching in December, and now, hopefully, back teaching next week again. Fingers and toes crossed, except when I'm playing or stepping, and definitely not my right toes ~ all will go with a good share of smiles, "How are Yuh!", and laughter...

So, to this, the ABSOLUTE WORST ~ I would have survived all the above one way or another, whatever happened, but this has me most worried, most bothered, goosebump and shakey worried ~ a dear friend of ours is very ill, possibly lymphoma. That is our greatest concern, in our hearts and prayers...

This little ditty has something to do with all of the above, with several shades of sadness woven in the B-part, and "PARTY ON!" in the A-part.

Bless you all, and apologies for those request I still haven't gotten to... Oh yeah, I forgot to say, the computer, bits of it having been all over here, it has also been very ill, and still is. this is courtesy of a borrowed laptop, which is, with the old friend of a computer, also added to the multi-faceted agro this Winter...

I know this will wind a few of you up, c'est la vie... It means I will have passed some of it on... :-D
