Good times and bad
I don’t normally talk politics so I won’t start now. I do read a lot about it, I just don’t feel the need to talk or write about it endlessly but can I just say this. Congrats to Barack Obama and to America. I just hope that really does mean change. One of my favourite sites for the news in pics
http://tenbyten.org/10×10.html has some great pics. As I’m sure there will be lots more. From this headline grabbing story to this ’shocking’ admission by the HSE. I use the quotes just to emphaisis whilst it is shocking and horrific and my hearts go out to the families who have suffered once again due to the inepotitude of our health service, it doesn’t surprise me. What surprises me is the fact that the news got out. If this is what we are hearing about can you imagine what we are missing. There are times when this country and its politics and policies disgust me. Yet the greens continue to sit pretty supporting the government. Each and everyone of them should be ashamed of themselves and I can honestly say it will be a cold day in hell before I vote green again. Cowards the lot of them. Enough of the politics talk, I let it run off on me there.
The in-laws pc is finally heading to the pc doctor after I spent the best part of 2 days stuck in a Window’s infinite loop. Whatever about being stuck in a infinite loop and it being head wrecking, the BSOD asking you over and over do you want to install Windows is much worse. Much worse. I had to admit defeat and ring a professional. However begin extremely wary, as the pc had already being looked by a ‘professional’. He just left out the word cowboy after his name. Seriously, he did a reinstall of the OS and charged the inlaws 270 euros because he’s an expert. When someone keeps telling you what a good they do and how everyone thinks so, alarm bells go off. We dropped the pc into another place, turns out they have 2 other pcs from the same guy. He’s keeping them in business. Muppet. I hate people who are unprofessional. I really hate it. So hopefully the pc will come back to us in a better state then it went off in and then I shall pop the anti-virus S/W on it and Firefox and all their movies and they should be back up and running.
The sister is home next week, I’m really excited about it. The brother and his gf are up on the Sat and we are all heading out the watch the rugby. The kid said she might join us. In other words if we buy her beer and food, she’ll come out. The sunday will be spent having lunch with the in-laws and then myself and the sister are planning on a sister’s night involving Mamma Mia. She still hasn’t seen it! I know, she lives in Holland though so it takes time for the latest movies to get released over there. She was so excited about Ben Hur opening next week. I’ll get a wallop for that the next time she sees me. Speaking of excitement about movies opening, this is finally opening in the US . We shall expect it in Ireland in years time.
I am hoping to go training tonight. My body might have other ideas, its been whinging about pmt and cramps and god knows what else. So much for ovulation tests and my allegedly not ovulating. I am resisting the urge to go “Ha, told you I was ovulating” to the tests but I fear they would just ignore me and lie there lifeless until they are dipped in pee. It must be tough for them, the highlight of their short existence being stuck in urine? I suppose I shouldn’t be so hard on them. The plan is thus. Get this week over with, sort out which day I should be testing on. Take no liquids, if I don’t pass out from dehydration, do the test. Wahoo, ovulation, off to the clinic for a quick insemination and hope all goes well. Sounds straight forward doesn’t it? If only. I am trying so hard to not get excited. I want to write off the first effort but then I think what if. I don’t know how I feel. But then again this could be the PMT talking. Its a divil for talking on my behalf.
