Description Leave the past behind,
Keep the future in mind
But what little do they even know
How your death would affect me so.
I´m just going through the motions
Dispelling all their notions
I´m possibly unstable
But never-the-less unable
To stop feelings of frustration
In this hopeless situation.
The nagging discontentment
Causing  much resentment.
I Choose solitude,
Time to grieve and brood.
Hiding my true colours,
Closing down to others.
They show no understanding
And seem harsh and demanding.
Their life all set to go
While mine still hangs in Limbo.

A different rhyming scheme for you and it works very well.  Says it like it is. Limbo is not a great place to be. I do hope that some friends or others can show you this understanding - it helps a lot.

Yes I think I am just feeling a bit down at the moment the winter is lasting far too long and I am unable to shake off this cough, I have had it now for about 3 weeks. It´s still occasionally making me feel poorly. Plus some bad news over the weekend of the death of a  friend in Austrailia, infact he was my old maths teacher who left Liverpool in 1972 for Down Under and a few years ago got back in touch and brought many people back together again. He was quite a character played Santa Claus every year in his shopping Mall near where he lived. I am devasted by his passing and will miss him dreadfully

So sorry about the news of your friend - any death hits you even if you have not seen the person for a while. I think we just like to think of that person in the back of our mind having a happy life. He must have reached a good age, but when you know someone with a special character it does hit hard. He does sound a bit special. You must have had a good rapport with him for you two to keep in touch.

My friend phoned yesterday (she is a lot older) and said she had a heart attack ten days ago - she had been in hospital where I work but because I was offsick did not know. She is a worrier like me, so it is going to be hard for her. She is my holiday companion but I cannot see any further holidays, as what with her mobility and now this... Also her husband's health is not good.  She has lost one thing after another in recent years - her holiday home, her mobility,

I am going back to work Wednesday. I feel less panicky now, I think work helps me cope. The two cats are driving me mad. They want me to play with them constantly, I am not kidding. They get bored so easily and when I want to watch tv in the evenings one of them comes up to me and sits and stares a few inches from my face and if he can reach my arm or shoulder gently taps it twice then waits then taps again. So out comes the
ribbon they like and I am pulling it over the carpet for half an hour.

I hope the cough abates soon, it must be irritating - often the health shops have better stuff to relieve than standard cough medicine.

I think being in facebook and seeing all the condolence messages hasn´t made it any easier either. I got awfully upset.
Sorry to hear about your friend too, growing old is full of obstacles and set backs and trying to cope is sometimes hard. Hope she´ll be okay.
I always wanted to teach my cat to fetch like a dog.  She loved to play with a crumpled up bit of paper and sometimes when you would throw it she´s run after it and throw it about a bit herself but then never bring it back for me to throw it again, so it ended up I did more running about than she did .
I have been drinking herby teas for my cough seem to be improving.
Glad you´re back in work and also coping better

That is such a shame that you got upset about the condolence messages but I do know what you mean. Sometimes it is when people are at their most genuinely sympathetic it chokes you up, especially when they choose the most kindest loving words,
Good job the cough is improving it is great when we find something that alleviates a symptom.  I trawl the internet for hours looking for solutions to both mine and other's health problems.  I found that the one thing that helped with sinusitis was castor oil (organic, hexane free)  I saw a bit on youtube which helped - you put castor oil across the nose and sinus area.  I then put tissue on the oil and then held the edges of a filled hot water bottle against the worst area by the side of my nose and sometimes the other side for about half an hour - one night I went to bed with this (oh and I covered the hot water bottle with cling film to stop the oil going into it) It was actually miraculous - the swelling inside my nose stopped and I could breathe beautfully.  I did another couple of sessions after that at other times to make sure it wouldn't deteriorate. Castor oil has amazing healing properties and it does not clog the skin although you think it would. The treatment was a bit tricky but I also read a book on castor oils healing properties - still though I was amazed and so pleased -nothing else seemed to work.

That sounds like something I need to use my Doc perscribes a cortisone nose spray that to me, feels like I am spraying pepper spray up my nose. I´ll have to get my Mum to send me some Castor oil cos I don´t think they´ll know what it is here.
Thanks for the Info Shelley

I got mine from ebay - its the easiest way. Or Amazon of course. If you get from your mum make sure it is organic and hexane free.

My hacking cough has come back I went the doc´s this morning because my throat was also killing me.(what a waste of time) The doc couldn´t find any trace of an infection told me if it persists to come back. This is now nearly a whole month  of feeling  unwell really getting me down.

Thanks for the info I´ll take a look

`These viruses that are going around just seem to go on. So debilitating. I generally find that most things the doctor gives me either dont work or aggravate the condition! Re your throat - health stores have propolis lozenges and raw honey. I know it is not easy with bad throats and coughs.  Also deglyccerised liquorice tablets (not ordinary liquorice as it raises blood pressure) I have found to be very helpful for irritations such as coughs and heartburn etc., I mainly had them for soothing that area. They are pretty good I found and work quickly. If you have a health store they can generally advise on those things and sell the things I mentioned. Hope you find something to suit.
