Monday 2nd August 2021: Photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, that might be told?

♥ I knew I'd seen this TFZeress Somewhere! ♥

MONDAY 2nd AUGUST 2021

05:30hrs: I woke with a will to get some rubbish removal done - Went for a wee-wee first; it was unwilling and weak. (A bit like me, really!)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Made up and sorted Bags

Got a few bags done and put them on the box on top of the trolley to go down later.

Potatoes into the Crockpot

Just added sea salt to flavour them today.

Health Checks Done

Another Grrreat Result!

I adopted a temporary Smug-Mode and made a brew of Glengettie.

Computerisationing

I didn't get far, and the need for the Porcelain Throne arrived to interrupt my efforts.

Porcelain Throne

Off to the wet room. But what a zemblanity this evacuation was! But what a zemblanity this evacuation was! With all the senses and signs telling me this was going to be another struggle.

I got seated and grabbed the crossword book. The evacuation felt like it might take some time; things felt solid, if you know what I mean?

I got a few solutions in the crossed, and out of the blue - the evacuation arrived - smoothly until the end bit - then the smelly, gooey stuff arrived! Urgh! This took a lot of cleaning up! I made sure I had a good spray around with the air spray, as the carer is about to come, methinks. The landline rang out as I was washing...

Sister Jane Was Rang

Lost the connection and rang her back, and I would have got some clothes on first; it was mighty cold. Jane chatted and gave me instructions, advice on the flat decluttering. We had a chinwag and a few laughs. The box of wine I have here for them is of concern to Jane; the tidier-upperers may knick it? Hehehe! Hubby Pete is going back to the hospital for a check-up and another scan. Hope things will be okay for him. He's been doing well.

Morning Care Arrived

Carer Helen (I think) arrived minutes after I'd left the wet room. Glad I had a squirt around with the lemon cucumber freshener now!

Helen soon got me sorted with the medications, and I told her of my mission impossible to get rid of the DVDs. She kindly took about twenty of them down with her to the donation table for me. That was kind of her. I thanked her. ♥

Made a brew of 99 Tea

I meandered out onto the balcony... after a few minutes trying to get the sliding doors to slide. And took these update photographicalisations of the new car parking area, on Chestnut Lane, showing the progress made.

DVD Sorting

I tenaciously got on with the job of sorting out some of the DVDs for removal.

Helen took about twenty down this morning and Valerie yesterday about twelve for me; many left that need sorting out yet. I got about forty sorted out that could go to some good cause. I'm not sure I trust the flat decluttering lot, so I'll try to get them down to the Windwood Court table... somehow. 

Still, I've made an impression.

Tea Gone Cold - Again

Mashed a mug of Glengettie. I'll try to get this one drunk. Tsk!  Got some shoes on, and I'll make an effort and painfully take some waste bags to the chute and DVDs down to the donation table in Winwood Court; I'll try to remember to take the camera with me this time.

It took a lot of hassle and frustration prepping things, and that took well over an hour just to get them ready to go!

Bit of a job to get the shoes on this morning

Off On My Missions

To the waste-chute first.

Back at the flat, I got the box of DVDs.

In the elevator and down to the ground floor.

Through the swipe door, into the passage in Windwood Court.

Along the cut-through into Winwood Court lobby, then the Social Room.

No one around, I put the DVD's on the table, with a partly sad heart. It had to be done!

Back through the passage swipe door and into the Woodthorpe Court lift lobby.

Where I diligently refilled the box with more DVDs.

Into the lift again and took this selfie (above).

Down and through to the social room. I was well pleased to see a few folks showing interest in the DVDs that I'd taken down earlier on.

I added the new ones to the others already on the table and made my way back, with a smidge more urgency, a wee-wee, being needed, like.

Back with the emptied box again to Woodthorpe Court and into the lift. Hehe! Feeling a little tired now, poor old thing.

Took another selfie in the elevator.
Fumbled my way into the flat, stumbling with the walker trolley, clouting my toe a good one! Then, I began to feel a little sort of self-congratulatory. Pride nearly rose its head... but no contentment, as I noticed there were still so many DVDs to be sorted yet.

But this will have to wait; I was feeling well shattered and needed a mug of tea!

.

But this was not to be!

When I ran the hot tap to get the washing up done...

Oh, dearie Me!

WHOOPSIEDANGLEPLOP! 

Flood in Wet room!

No Hot Water!

I realised I must have left the tap running when Jane rang when I was washing... Clot! I ran (well, hobbled nippily) into the wet room.

Disaster, I'd left the hot water tap (faucet) running, and the sink plug was in. Humph!  T'was a right mess I'd made for myself!

I set to cleaning up. Which involved taking the drain lid off, and unblocking it, which took rather a while... but I did the slime-ridding quicker than getting back up on my feet!

While I was there, I decided to shower; a shave without hot water was impossible. That will have to be done later on.

All done, I titivated around and left to get this blog updated. As I recall, I was doing a lot of cursing, swearing, and many self-hating verbiages.

The dark depression came over again. There was no stopping my disgust at myself.

Updated This Post

Believe me, with a muddled mind that was stewing in self-loathing, it was not easy. So many mistakes have to be corrected, concentration shot, and fatigue falling over me so fast, now! Grammarly tells me I've made 24 errors and offered me six suggestions on formatting and grammar. I'm getting a bit pee'd of with me!

Good heavens, look at the time! Oh, you can't, can you? It's already gone 15:00:hrs

CorelDrawing

I had no choice but to do this, as I'm out of graphics to use again. It's a hard life at times! 

To make things worse, Herbert kicked off with his tapping and knocking... Hello, he's stopped! . Got a couple of graphics done.

Cringeworthy Crap

Update Car Park Works

Chestnut Walk Progress. End car park, being used, markings to be done yet.

Chestnut Walk Progress. Almost done now by the look of it when peeped over the balcony.

I did some Shedding

But only really, to make sure the machine was working okay. It looks fine!

I'm Worn Out Now!

Mentally and physically!

Going to get something to eat: before the evening carer arrives. Took a photo of the meal - only to find there was no SD card in the camera. Gobbledunk! I must get a rest, if possible.

Evening Carer Arrived

It was Valerie tonight. That in itself cheered me up somewhat, and I perked up mentally. ♥

Finalised this blog

Posted it off and went on Facebooking on the TFZer and Winwood Heights sites.

Noise From Above

Herbert banging about again.

After that, it was all hazy?
