let there be peace

Its probable that at this very moment a war of viruses is going on against the antibiotics I introduced to my system yesterday. But for the first time in an age I feel like I'm not fighting "the world" alone. 
   Not to be melodramatic, but I have really felt burdened by this "bug" for a few months. Despite having achieved a great physical feat, I've felt dreadful a lot of the time. I've been stealing moments of gratitude & have greatly enjoyed myself, but this bug has stolen from me. 
   The symptoms had been easing off, I'm not totally free & the antibiotics obviously need more time, but today, this moment, I  feeling the best i have in ages. Bring it on!

Two passages from today's mass. Simon was dragooned into helping Jesus carry the cross upon which he was crucified. The sermon asks us to be that support for others and to identify the "Simons" in our life.  The initial passage is helpful too guide me in supporting my daughter who entered a difficult period in her life some weeks ago. As a caring parent I struggled to find a way.to remove her pain, the passage suggests that being present and supportive is sufficient. Amen.  This passage probably helps to reset my family's tendency to go all in to "help" others. We'll be actively stressing our big hypertensive hearts to cook, clean and clearup.

king dick in da house

When I was a kid there was a huge spanner at home and it was stamped "King Dick". It never failed to get a rise when I showed my friends. But, jist as a preamble, my dick size has never been something Ive either thought about or worried upon. I mean, what can you do about it?  Well that's what I thought until a month ago. I was drying myself off after a bath and I noticed my willy had grown! No I wasnt particularly excited, if you know what I mean. Does it continue to grow, or respond to gravity as you get older? I had one inkling that it was because I'd lost weight and was fitter. I checked again later, same. So I Googled it and yes, losing weight removes fat from the groin so more Roger is seen. And better health leads to better blood flow and Kong Dick is in da house. Bloody hell.
