lolabobsIt's the anniversary of Elvis' death today. I was tiny when he died. We were all on holiday at my grandparents' house and it came on the radio. My brothers were pretending to cry and I was bouncing on the bunk bed taunting "You're crying because he's dead....You're crying 'cos he's dead.."
Ah, such a sensitive soul I was.
And, now just to prove I have changed, that happy, stupid memory has just segued into the same house a few years later when my nanny died. x
Work today was strained - I hoped and hoped x wouldn't turn up, so I didn't have to write the big report.. and he didn't! yay! - then 20 minutes later I got a phonecall re Y and I've ended up having to do 2 days worth of reports on that person instead. typical. they say be careful what you wish for!
Had a really nice talk with a colleague today, and I can't go into any details whatsoever, but it was good, good good all the way, then ended in bittersweet news and I a little sad now.
I sent my mum some flowers today (wow - ordered them at 9 - delivered at 11! - impressive) she 'phoned me up all happy, then Dad's gone and upset her again this evening and she's sadder than ever. Such a silly situation - she thinks he is a dangerous driver -he's not, though is perhaps more careless than he used to be, and gets hooted at occasionally etc, but she is so hyper sensitive to every little thing he does, ie 2 miles over the speed limit, not indicating on an empty road and so on. She's wound herself up so much that she's near to tears at all times, and is scared to get in the car with him - and as her mobility is steadily, and rapidly, worsening, (which in itself is getting her down) she's growing ever more dependent on him.
She is depressed anyway, but won't admit to it - but there have been deaths and illnesses in the family, and she's been the 'shoulder' in a lot of the circumstances, and so has practically worn herself down. I'm talking to her, and seeing her as much as I can, but she's so low It's horrible.
Complete change of subject - the neighbours dvd was cheap and I bought it - I don't care, I'm nostalgic and not afraid to show it! - I've watched the first disc already -Des and Daphne getting married, Daphne has a baby! Daphne dies! scott and charlene get wed! Harold and Madge get wed! (and it was the same David. I have been screeching names at the telly - "Clive!" "Nell" "- well you get the idea! - I have the second disc to watch - more deaths - I love the concept where the 'best bits' are all the deaths. and omgosh Paul Robinson had a mullet! - but he had his yellow pjs on and he does look good in yello :)
Enough already.
