The absent blogger

JACK: Well it’s been a while. If it helps, I do feel guilty for not blogging. Let the excuses begin...

Since the last time I blogged, it was mentioned that we have been subscribed the drugs and that we have begun the treatment. It was also mentioned that we had 1 last attempt to get things done naturally. I can only describe my silence on the blogging and twittering front as the cyber version of holding my breath.

One of my many admirable traits (not) as Pippa has mentioned before is my ability to put a brave face on things. This involves me shutting down most of the thought process that I would normally use to daydream and “get excited” about upcoming events. It’s a trait I used to apply to many things as a child, including holidays as Pippa has already mentioned. I was always sadly disappointed because we were poor. It was mostly applied to moving schools and home etc. No fault of my mothers, we were just poor. Dad ran out before I remember. But I digress.

Excuses aside, it has been a tough few weeks keeping myself busy. Work was hard to find last week so I busied myself with home improvement projects and dusted off my “to do:” list. As a result, my car is nearly completely fixed, my home AV project is nearly done and we have no outstanding bills or anything of that sort.

A little unhealthy I know. But Pippa and I have been together for 1/3rd of my life. 10 years in the making. We are still very much in love and manage to excite each other, make each other laugh and surprise one another. We know each other’s little moods and manage to avoid arguments most of the time because of these things. So unhealthy or not, something is working. I am not avoiding HER, just the disappointment of our final natural attempt working. Well, all until the other night when we scraped by, both in foul moods and me scurrying off to work the next day. Only to be stuck away from home for another night due to the car being fixed. At least I managed to get a tick on the todo list!

So, we are now “on the drugs”. By we I mean her, but we are a we, so her is we! Got it? Good! So she, I mean WE are now on the drugs. WE have started with the nasal spray. It makes me laugh because she comes out of the bathroom with her head tilted back every morning and evening. It looks like she is trying to spot a fly. Our old cat used to do this accompanied by a clicking sound. It was odd but at least now I can accuse her of the same thing. I’d like to see her jump 3 times her body height and pluck one out of the air and scoff it. I think the woman’s NBA would be interested anyway.

Well, i’m going to leave it at that. I wrote this last weekand have been so busy with work (Yes it finally got busy again) that I didn’t get a chance to post it. I have many more thoughts at this stage now and will commit them to pixels as soon as possible.

Jack.
