Today is a pain day 14th Dec
Today is a pain day 14th Dec
If I awake in the night and the Tinnitus is too much
I’ll try and stop being bullied by it, and being a victim in my bed
By getting up and having toast and tea
at 4 or 5 or 6 am
Then Totoro goes out for an early morning run
while I say the Rosary
no I’m far from Holy but it tires you
and then you can go back to bed and sleep again
Till I wake 2 hours later and Tinnitus is screaming in my head
So finally I get up again
and now back of my head feels like a cricket bat hit me
and Tinnitus forces my head down to my chin
No fun at all
Yet yesterday if you had a snapshot of me at the GPs
you’d say he’s a funny fellow
in all senses
But right now as I sit here at my desk
I’m a mess
yes I can talk to you
but I wouldn’t
be able to write a story
as the noise and pain is so distracting
My small daughter had an online lesson
as the French University finishes a week after
her Anthropology one
she is actually at 2 Universities
and as she finished happily
as I was saying a Peasants 6 decade Rosary
I got one by accident
and I discovered Saint Bernadette had one at Lourdes
So maybe its a sign
as small daughter just revealed
Dad, I could do a MA, a Masters afterwards
In French stuff, so Grace a Bernadette no doubt
so can you send a sponsor Bernadette at to help
pay for it
my niece by the way has a Double First, no not a drink
but in English and then not one but two Masters
and I think she’s now doing another qualification too
Yes that’s my Family for you
Her brother my nephew did a BioChem degree
and is now doing Medicine
And all have a Blacksmith who left school at 14 Grandpa
on the Irish side
Me I’m full of paper, no not qualifications
Just carrying boxes of paper in Computer and Print rooms
Though the 20 books I’ve written would take a lot of paper too
Random is my Life and Pain is part of it
So anyway, I told small daughter to carry on if she wants to
As she’ll be working till 70
and be aware everybody Pension probably won’t exist by then
So Save as you go along
BUT
if you enjoy what you are doing
THEN
you never feel you are working
The most tiring and physical job I did
was CPNEC hotel
but I really enjoyed it the most of all
oh it may be a secret what small daughter
is musing about so tell nobody yet
she’s still in 2nd year
Her University though does sponsor
The Pole Dancing she does too
for exercise
as other sports were jammed out
but it won’t be on her cerificate
When she does get her degree
my brother if he’s free will stand in for me again
as my Health and Pain can suddenly appear
so I missed my big daughter’s graduation
as bent double in pain, or noise in my head
is too much for me to chance anywhere
yes it’s that bad and worse when it kicks off
Yesterday I stunk of NEEM pain killer at my GPs
So I have a Window to do things
This is my life
These Ramblings don’t appear in my books either
Just Story(c) by Michael Casey
1000s of them, Millions of Words
Yet again a big thanks to Jeff Bezo and Amazon Music Unlimited
as Music is my saviour
I’ll stop now
And before I forget
People who never went to University or never did A Levels
Can still be More Intelligent that folks with lots of letter behind their names
Intelligence is Speed of Thought
