VALE - Kaylee...

an online friend recent met tragedy, when her little girl died aged just 4 years and 9 months old.... I was finally able to talk to her mother.

Kaylee drowned in the family pool, something which has shocked her mum because she never went near the pool without them there, and she was always careful so naturally she's in a great deal of shock.  The paramedics revived Kaylee and rushed her to hospital, but on the way to hospital she died because she had so much water in her lungs and couldn't breathe. This is a very tragic and sad end to a lovely cheerful happy young lady.

Fare the well...

This evening I went to a dinner for a couple of friends who are moving away because one's mum is really sick and they are moving to help look after her.  The evening was rather solemn too because some of the other friend buried an uncle today and was already rather sad.  I had a quiet and respectful evening talking with friends and mingling yet all the while I could feel the sadness welling in my mind.

More of my friends were going away, albiet they weren't close but they were good friends I will miss them both and their gorgeous little baby who is always so very cute and so full of energy.  Having worked with the guy for 5 years and having been friends with him and having many friends in the same circles was good but we all know that they both will be sadly missed by a lot of people. I know they are moving for a good reason but even so it hurts to see friends go and of course it does remind me of old wounds that are always going to be open but the more I have to deal with this kind of thing the easier it is becoming.

missing friends

working early and so forth means I miss my chats with my friends around the world ... I have some I e-mail but most are MSN - late nights is my main time .... it's hard now with early starts so I end up missing more

Random ranting

I was asked by a friend how much I weighed - well to be honest I hadn't a clue but the last time I did weigh myself I was about 90kg.. since it was christmas I thought well I usually put on 2 or 3kg... so I added but to my surprise when I weighed myself I was 86kg and that was without doing as much exercise as I had planned due to a few days of excessive heat (almost 50 degrees centigrade). Work has been majorly busy and I have been flat out so that could be helping me with the weight loss without me realising it.

Also the other day at work I bumped my finger and that was a bad thing because it was the one that I cut the tip off... I think it might have a bone spur (which is a small bone growth coming off the end of the bone.)  If it is a bone spur then it is very highly likely that it will need to be removed and that would mean surgery - making it 3 operations in 5 years on my right hand or wrist.

My local sports team which has me as club president has their top team playing in a Grand Final in a couple weeks and I most likely will be there but not playing - my capacity will be more official than anything because winning will mean accepting a trophy and prize money so I hope the boys do well for the district.

don't you just hate when...

you find yourself in an awesomely good mood and you have something that stops you from going out and having fun, something like a massive toothache because you couldn't get in to see a dentist because they are all booked out for weeks.

The worst part is the fact that now that sore tooths is ulcerated and means it is even more painful and the gum bleeds because of the ulcer so right now I feel great but I can't do anything coz I am sore and it is just way too hot, it is 41c(105f)  at 7:30pm... that is hot in any mans language - I can't go for a swim coz I could get an infection in my ulcer and I wanna go for a swim so bad
