Tuesday 27th July 2021.
04:45: Woke, wishing I felt like I did yesterday morning. But Anne Gyna and Duodenal Donald had both returned to keep me company.
Getting out of the £300 second-hand recliner was back to being a painful struggle. However, the wee-wee had no pre or after dribbles and was not hurtful at all.
So, alls not bad.
Off to the kitchenette to get the kettle on, and I took a couple of photos with the Kodak camera of the morning view.

Prepped for the Morrison Delivery
Emptied the waste bags out of the box on the trolley, so I could use the box to put the food delivery items into it when delivered.
Put some carriers ready to use, as I don't think the box alone will be big enough; it's a big order. But I can always rely on Morrisons for something to be missing and stupid substitutes. Checked on the emails to see if any details were available yet...
Nope, no email. So the mystery of what will be missing, and any substituted, remains a guess. I soon found out, though. Humph!

Porcelain Throne & ablutions
Back in a while... The Porcelain Throne session went much more manageable than usual, although a smidge gooey. And massive again! Hehe! I'm back: and with decent news of both tasks completed.
The teeth cleaning went well. Four minor nicks shaving. Not too many dropsies!
A Stand-up job, too early to use the shower.
Ear oil, eye drops, Germoloided Harolds Haemorrhoids, Nasal clearance, and I Phorpain gelled ankles and knees.

A Mug of Glengettie - Computer On
Started this blog off. Stopped to check on the day and time of the Morrison order. Due today. Got just to graphics completed, and the carer arrived.

Carer Sam(antha) Arrived
08:00hrs: Meridian's morning carer appeared in the kitchen when I was making a mug of tea. Got me sorted, and we ham a couple of minutes chinwag, mainly consisting of me telling her about yesterdays fantastic morning 'feel-Good' experience and how things are back to their painful and handicapping best now. Hehe!

Morrison Delivery Arrived
And what a farce it was!
They are doing like Sainsbury now and delivering loose, no carrier bags. I handed the man the box and two sacks to put the good into.
As he was on the last delivery box, he came across a leaking bottle of toilet cleaner and bleach bottle! What a mess! Took him ages to get it sorted. Took the bleach and bag of potatoes that had got soaked off of the bill. The bleach had also destroyed the boxes holding the nasal spray, and Germolene, what else, was yet to be discovered!
Off he went, and I collected the bleach smelling fooder and took it into the kitchen.
Not in a good mood now! And it got worse!
Far less food to go into the fridge and freezer. Partly due to the items 'Not Available', and stupid substitution again!
I'd ordered two small 90g pots of Limoncello (Josie likes them), and they substituted them with another Limoncello alright - one large 490g tray. Massive, and once it's opened, it will not keep for long. Never mind... much!
Added to the hour-plus I had to spend cleaning up the products with bleach on them. A most unsatisfactory food delivery.
Nothing new there then!

Waste Bags Sorted & to the Rubbish Chute
Got myself in a pickle sorting out the bags due to MBS (Memory Blank Spots). I didn't have any of them yesterday, which was super - but their return today makes me feel all the worst for them. It's not good.
Off to the Chute Room...
Came back to the flat, stored the trolley in the corner of the hallway, breathed a sigh of relief, and got into the kitchen... to find I'm missed off two bags of waste. So back to the chute with them, both, deposited them, and wanted to cry!
After yesterdays Miracle Bother Free day, this incident had me all bothered, tense and fed-up!
Thank You, Morrisons, You Made It!

Back to CorelDraw Graphic Creating
Got two for tomorrow done, then tried to get some had down.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
No Chance!
Gave up and got up again! Went to check around to see that I'd not left something on or off that should or shouldn't be, and blow me, I found another waste bag in the kitchen!
Ablutions... well, A Shower Taken
I went very well, as did the medicationing, too! Duodenal Donald and Anne Gyna were coming into active modes!

Updating this Blog
As I wait for the evening carer to arrive, they could come any time now. Hello, odd noises coming from somewhere, sounds a persistent flapping of a letterbox lid, but louder, of course. I'll go and make sure it wasn't anyone knocking... Nope!

Ode To The Day
Not as good as yesterday, a bit of a sham,
Must get ready for Friday's echoencephalogram,
Better not take a water tablet or alprazolam,
It's been a day of utter farce and bedlam,
Dentist on Monday, better take the citalopram,
Morrison's disaster gave my confidence a slam,
Duodenal Donalds bad, I'll take Codeine, a 30 gram,
Am I bothered? Could I give a damn?
Am I losing it again? I am, I am!
Isnt that just how it works witu Chronic Illness? I’ll let that stand as a proper name as is. I have lain about all day except for my mani/pedi. I am copying Pru on GBBO. Multi bright colored nails and toesies. You have a lovely spirit and I consider us as present in company. Love and hugs not too hard to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, HRH Lisa,
DeleteLaying about all day, sounds lovely to me, gal. Enjoy! ♥
Is Pru on GBBO a programme, Lisa?
Bless yers for hugs, sweetheart. The one thing I miss most, nowadays is a cuddle. ♥
I fank you for the top billing (well, second from the top is valuable space on this Nottinghamian issue of record. Arturio is also close to my actual middle name Alfred.
ReplyDeleteThe BP is trying to settle on a lower number is my opine. The yoyo does not run to large a range. Which somehow reminds me of a cartoon I cannot seem to find now:
The stock market opened at 1242, dropped to zero in early-morning profit taking, but rallied in the afternoon to close at 1259. Up 17 points.
Morrison is trying to see the record for rotten service. The driver wouldn't even brighten up at the offer of a can of plonk. Wot? A massive tub of Limoncella is more expensive than no Limoncella. Am I missing something there?
Last week, our town splurged on repaving the street. It was quite a bumpy ride that turned into a quite smooth one. They did a good workman's job as well.
Wishing yer a splendid Wednesday, Sir!
Ah, Arthur, a good stout name, worthily placed for you, Sir!
DeleteRe the BP, you see, this AM, t'was the lowest ever recorded again - and... in the GREEN, another first! What we get tomorrow will be interesting - I fancy perhaps still low, but in the amber? But I have been known to be wrong before. Hard to believe, I know! (Hahaha!)
You miss very little Billum, mate. The Limoncello will find a new home later - I can give it to the wardens as a treat.
Glad the potholes have been curtailed, Sir. Do they have speed bumps out in Ohio? What about Escooters, Tim tells me they have eradicated them in his city - wish they would here.
May I return the goodest wishes for HRH and your individualistic valuable self.

Is the "Impaired" bracelet to show your support for impaired folks? Nice ode for the day. You are getting a lot of big words in and to rhyme. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThat be my hearing impaired band, Tim. The Taking-Warfarin band on the right wrist. The Diabetes and No-Aspirin to be given bands, are still in the drawer somewhere, waiting for me to grow some more wrists to use. They are not big enough to put on my ankles - couldn't reach them anyway. (Hahaha!)
DeleteI tend to get carried away with odes sometimes, when the ailments free me up, I take advantage. Sometimes they are a chore?
Valerie said to try CBD oil under the tongue drops, so I have. Do you know owt about them worth worrying about to let me know, Tim or Bill? There were so many tp pick from on Amazon, I just took the middle price and strength one.
I'm waffling again.
All the bestest to all.
