A New Year

So this is the 1st post of 2008....and I had such high hopes for it being all about how my New Years Eve was spent with Soldier etc....well that didn't happen.....I, my dear blog fam, spend the bringing in of the new year in the Accident & Emergenvy Department of the hospital.....My grandad's ill again, and we had to take him back in.....

I knew yesterday was gonna be a funny ole day....I didn't sleep A WINK! It was my SFAM's b'day on Sunday, and we'd been out celebrating. I got home at around 12, had my shower and was just lounging around the house. Come 1am I figured I should be in bed, as I had work the next day. Soldier calls me at like 2am, and decides he wants to talk....so we talk for about an hour....3am onwards I attempt to sleep, to no avail. Get up for work-totally knackered! Get sent home at 12pm (yeah!!!) and go out shopping with my SFAM & LF. On my way home, my aunty calls me and asks were I am...I tell her on my way home. She tells me that she thinks my grandad's taken ill again....instantly my heart sinks to my toes.....I rush round there, and when I saw him....I just wanted to cry. He was sitting on his chair, just looking around aimlessly. He couldn't talk, couldn't stand-couldn't do anything. We called for an ambulance, and they came and took him.

After 5 hours, he'd been moved from A & E onto a ward. He'd had a cold that turned into a chest infection and he was severly dehydrated. He was on a drip and everything....but today I can report that he's doing so much better. He's still really weak, but he's talking, and eating and drinking. They reckon he'll be in there for a couple days....thank the Lord...

My dad was there-overly trying to talk to me about crap.....he's like 'oh, you know you can come to me house-you don't have to wait for an invite' I was like is it? Then he's like 'I'm gonna invite you over for Sunday dinner one sunday' My response: 'Is it?' I'm just thinking, I beg you stop gassing bruv, cos you're just saying this shit to make you feel good! I spoke to him on Christmas Eve, and he told me he was coming by my house to see where I'm living. He said he'd come by before I went back to work (which was NYE) and yup-he didn't show, and there was no further mention of it. I'm just glad I'm at a point where I let whatever he says go in on ear and out the other...I ain't sweating him....

So yeah, right now, I'm thinking what a crap start to the year, fuelled with the fact that Soldier is not in my good books right now (not feeling to go into it), I'm just hoping that from here on in, 2008 just gets better and better....cos bwoy...I really don't think I can take any heartache, and pain....or anything I endured in 2007, in 2008....

I hope that all of you guys had a much better start to the new year!!!!!
