I only seem to come on here to complain and moan these days. It doesn't bother me too much, as it always helps having somewhere I can rant. Although, it might not be so interesting for anyone to read. This evening I have been studying networking, for my IT course, and I have 1s and 0s coming out of my ears, as I have been converting IP addresses into binary for the last hour or so. I completed that unit, so I thought I would have a wee break.
I am still behind on my coursework, but that isn't going to get any easier, as I have another unit which has started. It is a unit on Maths, and I was never very good at Maths when I was at school, so I am a bit worried. As long as I can catch up with the IT side of things, I should be okay.
Personal wise, everything has gone to buggery. Again. My 97 year old Grandad was taken to hospital last week, cause he wasn't eating or going to the bathroom. The doctor said that he was very ill. He had a bowel obstruction, Kidney failure, a lung tumour and a flu-like infection. The Doctor said that would like to try him on something for the infection, and take it from there, but the next 24 hours was crucial. Unfortunately, within a few hours, he was getting worse, and not better. So they took away the medication and let him slowly pass away. I've never seen anyone die before, and it was awful. And that was the bit that hurt the most. He was independent for most of his life, and he really wouldn't have liked being cared for, which is what would have happened had he survived.
My work have been super understanding, and the guys i work with have all spent time listening to me talk about my Grampie. When I was getting upset, they told me jokes and stories to cheer me up. Today, I met with my friend, Paul, and we met his family for some lunch. As his parents were really nice and even gave me some nice poems about loss. Which was nice.
I am trying to keep busy, which is never as easy as I would like. But, it is still been hard. Full days ahead for the foreseeable.
