An Unusual Week

Well what an unusual week it's been .. Last friday I had all my hair cut off for Comic Relief (a UK Charity Event) - I'll post the pictures later. Then on Tuesday I collapsed at the bus stop with a Seizure, and yesterday I'm told that I'm ignoring Colin, treating him like he's invisible.

The haircut was quite amusing ;-) it's amazing what can be done with a set of clippers in 15mins straight ;-)

As for collapsing at the bus stop, well not only did I smash myself up a bit. Bruising to face, ribs, arms, took the skin of my nose, I also appear to have trashed my PDA! :( this is a bit of a blow as it was my only source of music on the go... The only way to alieviate the bordom of the journey to work, and sometimes the day at work... oh well cest la vie.

Now onto the starteling revalation last nite ... how do I feal? I know how Colin feals, he made that abundantly clear. Well at least he made sure I knew how he felt. Ok I do admit that I'm not the most communicative person in the world, and probably when I do talk about real world things it's done in a naiive, and child-like manner, so I suppose that from that point of view, just from a talking point of view I do neglect him. But I don't know what to do to change? Or even if it is something I can change ... I just don't know. I'm going to have to do something ..........

More about me

I live in Exeter (UK) with Colin (my partner) who has CFS [cronic fatigue syndrome] as well as depression. It can be very difficult dealing with a full time job and making sure that Colin is ok.

In an ideal world I would work from home, and be able to maintain a nice safe work / life ballence. But I do wonder whether with the causes of his depression that somedays it's better for me to be at work than at home, even though it means leaving Colin to be "Home Alone." It is very diffuicult ... dealing with the constant fear of losing him vs overprotecting him.

At the moment he's also suffering with cold and flu :( :( which is doubly worrying as when he was a student he got a chest infection, which in essence destroyed half of both of his lungs. Cold and Flu has a nasty propensity in him to drop down to his chest and become a chest infection... which in turn can lead to pnumonia!!

Where am I now?

Right now ... well I'm doing work, and listening to my Current mp3 Playlist ... I got a 64Meg SD Card and use realplayer in my PDA ... it's not too bad in terms of Music playback .. I get about 17-20 songs on the card, which is enuff for the time being. To Rip the music, I'v got Apple iTunes, imho the best music management software available for free :-) I'v got a collection of some 30-40 gig of music, of which 95% I own the CD's of... the other 5% is stuff given to me in mp3 format by friends, or occasional copies of CD's friends have lent me.
