It’s the little things

I watched an “academic” explain that its the little things in life that matter not the beach holiday in Barbados, its how you speak to your wife and how she reacts its how you interact at the dinner table with your family or how you see the world on your morning walk because these things […]

Lumps

This illness is hanging around and tonight I noticed I have acquired a couple of painful lumps under my right arm which is worrying. Although a quick Google suggests lymph nodes are inflamed because of a viral infection so the Amoxicillin tablets I started taking at dinnertime maybe what is needed, I think I need […]

Anything I want

Off she goes again down to that London and once again I am left holding down the Fort here at home but that has its benefits because I get to do anything I want to do! The thing is all I want to do is just ‘be’ with her yes I will hold the fort […]

Sympathy

Feeling better

It’s the little things that can make the biggest difference Jamie told me that Reagan had noticed things not getting done and realised that I do quite a lot “Daddy does a lot doesn’t he!” That she noticed was enough to make me feel a bit better! After that, I kept feeling a little bit […]

Daggers

As I mentioned yesterday my body seemed like it was fighting something off little did I know all hell was going break loose overnight. As me guts finally allowed me some respite I decided to go to bed, trying not to disturb Jamie as I did, as she was already asleep. At about 02:30 I […]

The devil in a glass

I mentioned to Jamie that I maybe fighting something off right now, because I have been feeling progressively worse all day to the point where I needed to take a couple of flu tablets and a bottle of Lucazade after work to give me a little pep up to get through until bedtime. She immediately […]
