Had MRI and cortisone into my shoulder this morning.
Now wait to see if it helps.
A very obvious tear came up with the iodine stain, and it was "leaking " out of where it should have been contained. Bugger.

Arvo all,

Rags, click on that link and it's a free download to your phone/computer. No CD date yet. I seem to be happy enough having new music out online, though will get some artwork sorted and upload to itunes etc for sale. My website org is taking preference at the moment. Recipe coming. I saw a recipe suggestion on the lid of a vegemite jar i bought. Vegemite and tomatoe sandwich. Yeah, good one kraft.

Re the surveillance, Looks like that last shipment via the teddies has caught up with you! :H

Edit: Good luck with your shoulder!

Yep, underground adventures sound a good idea to avoid at present. Sorry to hear of the 2 blokes who lost their lives in that mining accident on tuesday i think it was. Christ.

L8tr gaters.

Well, yes it is actually.
Was it not a feature on the nine national news last night?

Maybe Missy and I could take the ute for a test run over the Nullabor... where I had a friend( who died last month) who told me about a Nullabor trip he did about 1946 where there was grass growing as far as your aye could see, which is getting off the track.
I reckon I could get over there in 4 days. WA is on my list of places to go.

Remember the Thursday before Easter panic to get as much grog as you could in? God forbid to be 'caught out' when the bottle-os close for Good Friday.

That's what I'm grateful for today.....a grog free fridge for Easter.

Indubitably.

G I've only just managed to successfully download this tonight - it made me laugh :-) are you still using the uke in the background? It has given me some new ideas about how to use it :-)

And I had vegemite on my toast this morning. Still prefer marmite though

Have had my oldest foster daughter with me over the last 48 hours. She has just finished an assignment following Cyclone Ita before going back to NZ for Easter .

I'm glad to have an AL free fridge for the next four days too Bridge but I had a slight panic this afternoon about not being able to buy chocolate eggs tomorrow :H I had bought in some Lindt chocolate bunnies but I think we must have mice in the fridge :H The only thing left for an Easter egg hunt in Sunday is an already nibbled white chocolate bunny paw ...

Glad you had a laugh Missy! No uke, banjo!

That would've been a very interesting assignment and experience writing/researching it for your daughter i'd reckon. Have a great easter break.

Noight Rags. You too. Noight all.

Up you get lazy little buggers. I'm just about to pull the curtains open.

Well New South Welsh folk....we now have a new premier.....all down to a bottle of Grange (and the other things they're not telling us about).....even for the non-alcoholic, alcohol is never going to make you a winner.

I'm getting a bit preachy this Easter

Anyhoo, as some of you know, I work from home at the moment and the temptation is always to keep working out of hours, on weekends and hols. I have drawn a firm line in the sand on this and decided that Easter is mine.

It was 7 years ago today that I had a particularly soul destroying alcohol related adventure that has taken some getting over (this will explain the sermon). It was 'Jones unplugged' that night friends I can tell you. And given the assembled company, you will all understand that quizzically, I still continued to drink for years afterwards.

It may be something to do with the classic 7 year cycle, but I've been thinking that this Easter is the perfect time to put all of this, and all the other shit, in it's place in the past.
After all, if Jesus Christ can roll a huge rock off the front of his digs and bail all by himself, I reckon I've got this in the bag.

Just finished packing. Leaving soon.
The cortisone injection has taken effect! So a good 60% of pain gone.
Still have pain and very very restricted arm movement. I imagine from torn tendon.


Bridge,
I understand completely.....
Until not that long ago I STILL inexplicably would
go back to drinking.
Like you, I drew the line a while back and said No more..
And no more it has been.

Easter is the perfect time for you to do your stuff Bridget.
Be kind and gentle to yourself while you're doing it. :l

Rags I?m so happy you?re having some relief from the pain. That?s great news. Have a lovely trip and please look after yourself.

Many hugs to you, Bridgey. At the risk of being equally preachy, Easter is the absolutely perfect time to put the past behind you and have a new beginning. That?s pretty much all Easter?s about really! Without knowing the details I?m guessing anyone else involved has probably put it behind them ages ago. I have a visualisation that I really like to use when I?m trying to break free from something. It?s being underwater, with a whole tangled mess of seaweed around my feet, pulling me down, and managing to kick it free and swim to the surface while it floats away to the bottom of the ocean. I hope your 7 year ago misadventure can be that seaweed for you!

My Easter confession is that my soul destroying adventure happened on 4 May 2000, and I still can?t completely draw that line in the sand. On the surface I?ve really changed; I have long periods when I don?t drink, have never since had any ?misadventures?, and always control how much I drink when I do, but we all know that?s not really the point, don?t we? No matter how much I think I?m controlling it, it?s still controlling me to some extent because I haven?t (can't) give it up completely.

I?m not even sure I should be discussing this on a MWO thread, so feel free to tell me to pull my head in and delete it if it?s an issue. Or offer a kick up the A if you think I need one. No offence will be taken.

Morning all! Glad your pain is easing Rags. And Bridge you know you can preach anytime.

Glassy - don't delete a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. What you write is relative to where you are at this moment in time. Use it as a marker to move - forward, sideways, anyways but back. There isn't a time limit for change.

Just saying...

[myhappyplace]

And...just thinking out loud...I really don't think I ever had a "rock bottom" or any major soul destroying event. Just a long slow haul that made each day more and more painful. And that isn't there now. And I think - and hope - I'm a different person now to what I was.
