It's not all bad is it?

So recently has been a bit of a disaster.

As most of my friends know, my server was completely hacked by .ru whilst I was ill in bed, and they destroyed all my sites.  That was bad enough but the thing that gutted me the most was the destruction of a memorial site I had tried to set up for my deceased brother.  That, above all, crushed me.

I did think about just giving up, but it is not in my nature.  The more people try to stop me doing something the more determined I am to do it.  So the past few days have been spent trying to rebuild.  I am nowhere near done yet but it does look like a proper site again.... sort of

A friend had her website on the same server and they half wiped that also, so I took the opportunity and bought her a domain and created her a whole new website on a different server.  Hopefully she will now be safe :-)

The hosts, Stablehost, who have been pretty much a nightmare since I went there, just kept telling me it was not THEIR fault the server was insecure and that I had to pay them around $38 an hour to help me fix it.  Not happening.  I have just cancelled everything I had with them which, after the hack, was not a lot to be honest.

So that was upset one, but not the only thing, unfortunately.

Another thing was the illness.  I ended up with pneumonia and a major chest infection and am just getting over it.  I am actually glad I did get it funnily enough as I had a battery of tests and they found out my kidneys and liver are not working properly.  Seems they are failing a little.   I think they are just lazy, to be honest.  My blood pressure is up also... are we surprised??   So now I will be having another battery of tests and a new diet.  Another one LOL  Change is always good.

Thirdly, I lost my bank card yesterday at the hospital.  It has not been handed in BUT my bank allows freezing of cards.  So I phoned them and froze it, then, when nobody had handed it in I blocked it completely, so now have no card.  Still, the good thing is I cannot over spend :-)

The really cool thing is I am off to Texas in a few weeks!  HOLIDAY!!!!!  So things are quite cool after all... not many people get such a great holiday, do they :-)

Anyway, that is what has been happening to me lately... more soon

Living next door

Only few friends have known why I've been so sad recently.  Only a couple know that I live next to an old lady with dementia.  She lives alone.  She has carers come in 4 times a day which she thinks is too much and everyone else thinks is not enough.  She's never gone out much when well and when they did, would phone the other neighbour sometimes 4 times a day to make sure their home was still okay..  She's never liked people, or the countryside, or healthy food, or life basically.  Her husband was the same until he died   he would put out his bottom lip against many, many things.  They had their own way of doing things and we would clash often but, surprisingly, were quite good friends and they loved the pups.  I took them around often. He died a few years ago.  She had a fall and now this is a lady, with dementia, that shouts all day.  She shouts at night.  She shouts in the morning, afternoon and evening.  Every b...
