That Was The Week That Was............
Monday at the hospital went well, although I don't have Coeliacs disease just a severe intollerance to wheat and gluten. I had 7 biopsies taken and swallowed the scope with no sedation whatsoever. Note to you all: TAKE THE SEDATION, IT IS THERE FOR A REASON, AND DON'T BE A SMARTASS LIKE ME! This week has been good because I have been able to go without both of these poisons as all the tests have been done; life can return to normal. I feel so much better, trimmer and starting to lose the 14 lbs I have gained over the last 2 months filling myself with wheat and gluten for the tests.
My honeys had a rare holiday at my parents for 3 days leaving me time to recover and relax a little. It is amazing to live in a house where everything is where you left it, and there are no dirty socks anywhere.
I had a hot date on Wednesday with a barrister from London, which was the worst date ever. He arrived absolutely wankered at 9pm, and continued to deteriorate, alternating between his pint of beer and large glass of white wine. Cute guy and lots of sparkle and charisma, probably alcohol induced though. As the conversation continued I discovered that through choice, he defends Paedophiles who are reoffending, earns a fortune for, apparently, 'selling his soul to the devil'. As he lost all ability to speak coherently, I bolted home leaving him sitting in the gutter hugging his knees and rocking back and forth! The following message was sent to him soon after:
"I cannot see you again for the very reason that I detest and abhor everything about your job. What are you going to tell me when you come home from work and I ask you how your day has been? The reason you drink so much is to get some peace of mind to allow yourself to sleep and forget the horror of what you see at work. How can you talk to these people, defend them? I know that someone has to defend, or there will not be a trial, but seriously.......WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU? So I cannot see you again, until such time as you are prosecuting these sick people who rob our children of life and innocence, putting them behind bars and using your education and knowledge to make a difference in this crazy sick world".
That was it, word for word. Obviously he had memory loss too because he rung the next day, saying he really enjoyed our evening and would love to see me again. I don't think so.........nutter!
Ex-boyf and I are getting along great, he knows I am dating and seems cool with that.....on the surface though. We still see each other every day and that is fine too because we both genuinely feel love for each other. I don't know how it would be without him around, he is not letting that happen. He says that it is his responsibility to care for us 3 until I meet someone else who I love.
So the dating then? Well several very cute guys are around and about, although I am wondering if I am ready yet, or is is too soon? Have decided to get out there and see what happens anyway so will keep you posted on more bad dates from the dark side of hell, or hopefully the odd good one too!
17 Ranted Back:
Just stopped by check out the paintings you mentioned on my blog.
I think I'll do that idea too! It looks great.
i'm so glad you found out what's bothering you. now you can be on the road to recovery.
nutters are sometimes dense. they don't get it.
sounds like your xboyfriend and you are on the way to a longlasting friendship.
good luck with the dating, sweety.
keep us entertained with stories!

I am glad you found out what was bothering you, now you get on with your life.
Sounds like ex-bf is pretty good guy. A great friend if nothing else.
Good luck with the dating thing, I know how sucky that can be. I KNOW that Mr. Right is out there somewhere, just have get through the crap to get there. Good Luck Girlie!!!!
Foam and Darla:
Thanks sweeties, keep your fingers crossed than I can attract at least one non-nutter, lol
I have my own version of your ex-bf and wonder sometimes if it's true love or keeping me from it. Glad to hear you are ok.
xoxo
Hello!
Thanks for dropping by, it looks like alot has been happening here.
There's a new look, hope you're feeling better!
I'll try to be a better blogger.
Knowing is always better than not knowing. An intollerance is so much easier to deal with than Coeliacs, so very very much easier.
Blimey, that does sound like the date from hell. He defends reoffending paedophiles? That is an seriously ick job.
Rach, so glad that you got those tests over with. As for that date, OMG, good riddance. I once spent quite a bit of time with a defense lawyer on the war tribunals court. He was busy defending people responsible for genocide. Lovely.
hmmm...concerned that your ex-BF being around so much is murking up the waters, if you know what I mean...
Boy:
I would rather have had coeliacs because that is the definitive answer. Intollerances are just suggested and implied and you always wonder if you are right or not.
Thanks for your comments though
Randi and Maryam:
I'm beginning to feel as though it is murking up the waters but I am not ready to let go yet. It will be easier when I am ready, and it seems weird that we are quite happy bimbling along like this......for now. Just need to define our new friendship a little, try it out, because I could not imagine what life would be like without him around
Perhaps I was being flippant, and am not in your shoes. I just had a dear friend with Coeliacs and hated it. He used to moan that he wished it was just an alergy because then he'd know what to do.
Don't worry you're not being flippant, I was looking at it the other way which is
'you don't have coeliacs, must be an intollerance, we suggest you should.....em......em....never probably try ever to eat certain foods again, oh and we don't know what those foods are, so swing it baby you're on your own'! LOL
BTW, I never did work out whether to put inverted commas before or after exclaimation marks, and looks like I don't know how to spell exclaimation either.....how thick am I?????????????????
Good for you on the results!
So pleased your feeling better.
Date does sound really shite
Dates what are those?? Do they involve opening the front door and going out.... no, no, too scary.
Hope you get more good than bad ones though!
pxx
Good results are always a relief aren't they.
Three loud and boisterous cheers for you telling that mercenary what for. I have diseases that will one day kill me but I wouldn't trade them for a single day as the mercenary.
Glad to hear that things went well with the tests. Except the lack of sedative. Never pass up the drugs! They offer them for a reason.
I used to work with abused women and children. I'd go home every night and cry. And then have some drinks. It's not easy on either side but at least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was truly helping someone better her life.
I hope the bad dates get fewer and farther between. I'm starting to think that every member of my gender is nuts!
Showing up wankered. Way to make a first impression, eh?
