Daemon is in no bloody way demonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Saturday at last the last week seemed like a long one for me I guess it was because I was unwell for most of it and it seemed to drag on, anyway it is at last Saturday and I was up early like 7am on a day when I could have slept in. Oh well I have managed to do two loads of washing and get it pegged out should be a nice day, I have no plans to go out which is good as hubby to the car to work. I have also managed to read and comment on a heap of blogs which is always a great way to spend the morning.

Yesterday while at Friday breakfast my sister Sue and her daughter Kirsty turned up it was great to see Kirsty again she came down to meet her new nephew Daemon now while I was talking to her I referred to Daemon as DJ and Sue says you can't call him that...............I do not know why I can't but I can tell you I am going to call him DJ as I can see no problem with calling him DJ when I first mentioned to his mum Kelli that I was going to call him DJ she was fine with it.

Mum told me that for some reason Sue has gotten it into her head that I think the name is demonic like what the hell Sue why would you think that, although Kirsty said he will get called “demon” which may or may not be the case but my desire to call him DJ has nothing to do with demons or demonic shit.............yes I am not a fan of the name Daemon but that is only because it brings up memories of another man hubby worked with who caused Tim a lot of upset although in time I will come to associate the name with nothing but good things as little DJ is just the most beautiful baby.

Mum also told me that Sue said she had read on my blog that I thought the name was demonic well I would love to know where she read it as I have not said or written such rubbish, I have even gone back and checked my blog post to see if I could see where she would have gotten the idea but I can not find it. So sis you are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Wet Wednesday



Bloody hell it is wet today, and I am still not feeling great but as a mum and nanna I do not let feeling off colour stop me doing things so I have had a busy morning. I woke up to two little boys jumping on me and saying “nanny you can't see us” they had pulled the covers over my head so I couldn't see them.

I had to get up though and pack their lunches and take Leo to day care, Jes took my car and drove Blain to school and I took her car to drive Leo to day care and then go and fill her car up with fuel.

Then home I thought I was going to see my nan with mum but mum said she decided not to go as they only got home last night from a short trip to Port Macquarie and has some unpacking to do, I am not bothered that we didn't go as I am still aching all over and really didn't feel like going......

I am watching an episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman about the world ending and it makes me thing what is the fascination with the world ending I do not think about the end of the world I think about living if the world was to end tomorrow then it does worry about it doesn't make any sense. I live each and every day not as if it is my last but as if it is just another day which it is, yes there are more special days such as birthdays, Easter and Christmas.

About Jo-Anne Tuesday...............I'm boring



I think I am boring I don’t know what other people think of me but I think I am a boring person to be around. It is not like I don’t have interests because I do I love to read and to blog and of course I like to watch TV and yes I know I may watch more television then some people would say is a good thing but it is my main source of entertainment and I do not see anything wrong with that. 

I also spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer, reading blogs and checking me emails and of course writing letters and such. I love pen paling and have 20 odd penpals from around the country and around the world. I have been pen paling since I was in my teens and think it is a wonderful hobby.


I think life is better if you have some kind of hobby/pastime and I have a few of them thankfully, but still I think people think I am boring………………….ok I think members of my family think I am boring I don’t know why I have such a thought in my head and part of me knows it is properly not true but still the thought is there.

Monday's Tim's Day



So Monday has rolled around again boy the weeks seem to fly by, when I was younger I the weeks seemed longer but I guess it is part of ageing………lol

Now as it is Monday I will share something with you about my darling husband Tim………...

He always wanted to be a truck driver it was his dream job and a few years ago he managed to achieve it. He was a truck driver for about 5 years and as it turned it wasn’t the dream job he thought it would be, although he doesn’t say as much but I am pretty sure that is why he has decided to go back to driving buses……..

I do think it was a good thing that he managed to give it a try and when he started it he did think it was good job and enjoyed doing it for a while but in the end it was harder work then he wanted to do…………..now he was very good at it and drove the oversize trucks and would drive them around Sydney not an easy thing to do. Driving a car around Sydney is a task and half at times and I wouldn’t want to do it, so driving a very large truck around there is really something………………

He is happy driving buses again he mostly does school runs picking up school kids and he likes the kids he picks up. He does do service runs but not as often and of course he does the rail work when it is on, for those of you that don’t know what rail work is well that is when the trains aren’t running and they use buses instead it happens during shut downs when there is track work going on.

Just another Saturday



Well today has been a great day, I have spent it doing nothing much then watching telly hubby has gone to work he won't be home till around midnight by which time I will be sound asleep. At the moment I am watching "Lewis" this is the spinoff of "Morse".

Out the front of my place a few minutes ago my next door neighbour "Bear" got into an argument with another neighbour well actually the neighbours man friend who is a prick sorry about the language but he is. Now Bear is in his 60's and the prick is in his 40's but of course that didn't stop him from shoving and head butting Bear, it didn't go on long and there was more yelling and swearing then anything but still a little excitement for the afternoon. A couple of other neighbours came out and watched what was going on I think if Bear was in danger of being hurt they would have stepped in.

We haven’t had a good set to around here in ages and I know it is strange but something I think it is interesting to see a fight between the neighbours……………..lol

This is how I spent my Thursday


Yesterday afternoon I had to go and have my Colonoscopy, so I had planned to do some blogging in the morning but that wasn't to be the case as I woke up with a really bad headache and found it too hard to concertraite on much. I did manage to read a comment on a few blogs but I just found it to hard.

So Kathy-Lee drove me over to the hospitial I was there early but as I told the nurse when she commented about me being early that I would rather be early and have to wait then running late. Thankfully since I was early the nurse let me lay on my bed and I closed my eyes and she came and put a folded up pillow case over my eyes which was great, the next thing I knew I was being wheeled into the procedure room. They left the pillow case over my eyes till I was sedated.
Now when you have something like this done they put a cannula in your hand well it took 5 attemps to get on into me and it ended up being in my arm just below my tattoo, one of the reasons it was difficult to find a vein is because I had nothing to eat or drink since 7am. The nurse tried twice but had no luck so she left it for the doctor to do and it took him 3 attemps before he got it in.
 After the procedure when I woke up I still had the headache and I was also feeling sick in the stomach like I was going to throw up and I was shaking , I was given a sandwich and apple juice and 2 headache tablets but it didn't help. I was in so much pain I just wanted to come home and go back to bed. Kathy-Lee came and picked me up and of course she had Sydney-May with her, when I stood up to leave I nearly passed out so the nurse decided to get a wheel chair and take me down to Kathy's car  as she didn't think I would be able to walk that far.

When I got home I got changed and went straight to bed and didn't wake till 7.50pm and then I got up took my night time tablets and packed the dishwasher and put it on the I was back in bed 5 minutes later and didn't wake again till 7am. Today I am feeling much better which is good as today is Friday and I had to go and do my weekly shopping.

Multitasking

  Today I am writing about multitasking, something I do often but of course it has pros and cons, so I asked Google what these pros and cons...
