Call of the Vampires

I've always been a lover of the supernatural the X - Files was my first love ( and true love lasts forever). Strange fact: I have several extremely thick volumes of medical charts at the main hospital where I frequently fly economy class and my chart starts with an X and with all of the weird and wonderful things you will find in my chart - I'm a real life X -File!

I love zombie stuff but I have no desire to be one. However if you wake me up at 4am, all bets are off! I did partake in the Dublin zombie walk several years back I wore a t-shirt that said this is my zombie killing t-shirt. On the back I stuck a note to it that said the t-shirt didn't work. Unfortunately  I think  that might have been a self fulfilling prophecy, especially when I'm on the hunt for a bag of jellies. "Sweets" "Sweets" "Sweets".

I have had a lot of problems with my eyes and late last year, they started giving me  eye drops made from blood serum.  I get donor blood serum. I have a stranger's blood in my eyes! I hope they live cleaner than I do! I get a new batch every six months. In June I ran out. The freezer at the hospital was on the blink. My batch got ruined. This stuff has to be kept frozen. So I had to wait a week while they cooked up another batch. My eyes were crying out for it all week. " I need Blood" "Feed me Seymour, feed me all night long" (plants from outer space are cool too). Oh my bloody God, they've turned me into a vampire!!!

I see better when I've had my magic blood potion. I know vampires aren't real (I think...) but fun fact: when you are turned into a vampire, you get better eyesight!!

I need blood, blood to ease my eyes
I need some serum to call my own
Pat pharma said "You can't hurry blood, no you just have to wait,
relax give it time
no matter how long it takes.

Life Under the Knife

Hello, is it fun you're looking for? I suppose I'd better explain myself before things get weird. < Last year I was in hospital for over 3 months. My Dad visited me every day with coffee and cakes (thank you Dad)!!!. We were chatting one day when I said "Do you remember people telling Mam that she should write a book?" ( sadly she took the stairway to heaven 3 years ago). I said to my Dad "Can you imagine the book we could have written together?" You see the condition that we both suffer from is called Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). We were both in and out of hospital pretty much all of our lives. I was thinking to myself that I don't have enough for a book, but maybe a blog. The craziest things happen to me and around me. What's one thing I do have? Stories so crazy, they'd make you question reality. I was pretty much completely blind, so I had nothing to do but think. I tried to remember the 20 years worth of stories and I have a me...

Breakfast at Elizabeth's

I had your average childhood but I didn't have your average granny! She was famous for three things: the cardigans she knit, her big heart and the fact she was the biggest messer going! I lived around the corner from her so I spent a lot of time in her house. That said, even the cousins that lived far away spent all their time there too. We had two types of sleepovers in her house, sleeping in the front room in a normal fashion where you woke up with somebody's foot in your face  - you were luck it was a foot! or sleeping in the back garden in a tent where nanny would come out and chuck a glass of water into the tent her version of a wake up call! There were so many water fights in her house, usually started by her. She was throwing party balloons filled with water before water balloons were a thing. She'd whip out the garden hose at a moments notice or feck a glass of water out the kitchen door as we sunbathed in the back garden. We all wanted to go to her house to play ...

Go ahead, bake my cake

Alcohol comes with a warning on the bottle, baking supplies do not (probably should). In a parallel universe, a carer was asked to bake a cake, a delicious recipe for a irish bomb cake was supplied (for those who are curious: chocolate cake batter with Guinness stout in it, irish whiskey ganache in the centre and baileys buttercream icing! You haven't lived until your taste buds explode with this cake). Some carers should come with a warning too (!) We needed a birthday cake, who doesn't need a bit of cake from time to time?! Normally when you blow out the candles, you share out the cake. In this case, when the candles were blown out, we had to get out a hand saw! Even the hand saw got stuck in the cake. The question is was it a cake or a homemade brick?! Irish car bomb cake is supposed to be explosive, this cake wouldn't explode anything but you could definitely use it as a weapon by throwing it at somebody. The recipe was for cupcakes, and somebody forgot to increase ...
