THURSDAY 12th AUGUST  2021

Around 01:00hrs, I woke with a start. If it was a noise, nightmare, or whatever woke me, I could have done without it! I just had to get up to check around for any signs of the possible noise or something having fallen over.

ACCIFAUXPAS

I gave myself a stubbed toe against the chair wheel, conducted my failed-to-find anything fakakta search, and gave the other foot a stubbing as I hit the bottom of the wet room door as I was going in for a wee-wee.

Tried To Nod-Off Again

I persisted in trying to get back to sleep for a while - but it was in vain, feh, what a schlimazel! I got up again and did the Health Checks.

Phenomenal Results!

First Time Ever, the BP is wholly in the Green!

The Early Morning View

It looked beautiful out there.

Liberty-Global Down Again!

Not that he is the slightest bit interested. The figure-bending and manipulating overpaid, materialistic, mercenary, money-mad, profit-oriented, figure-crunching Mike Fries has dollar signs blurring his vision. He is probably unaware of the crap service he is offering the people of Nottingham... Mind you, if I was getting paid that money for failing miserably... Would I care?

In Search of Sweet Morpheus

Waking around 06:30hrs, in need of a wee-wee. I had to accinge my loins, as the sprinkly weak wee-wee went into the bucket, not exactly what you could call a good start! I reckon I eventually got 4½hrs kip.

Depression Dawned

I was in a vacillatory, muddled... nae, addled, frame of mind. I began doing various jobs and finishing none of them and moving on to another task - all the time, a Deep-Depression grew within... 

Shredding paperwork, making up waste bags, cleaning the floor near the cooker, and even hand-washed the green shirt!

Out of the darkness of my mind, I then decided to get the ablutions tackled.

Porcelain Throne First

Got the jammies PPs down, seated my ever-growing bigger-bum on the raised disabled seat - and the flow began smoothly and painlessly!

And flow it did! I wondered where it was all coming from. Stood up to inspected the mass of evacuated product; No mess, no bleeding, as I have already mentioned, no discomfort of any kind.

However, the cistern did not clear the content within three flushes? Phew! So, I got the bamboo stick out to encourage things refilled the tank twice, and it cleared, at long last. This did not seem to bother me like it would typically have. Depression-Dave to blame, methinks? I even managed to drop the Germoloid ointment tube, and this did not phase me either? The ultimate test was when I hit my knee against the door when getting the trews on... this did bother me!

Ablutionalisationing

A stand-up job again, too early to use the noisy shower yet. Things went well, almost perfect for once. A total of only about five dropsies. But...

Accifauxpas!

Moving the shower chair with the dreaded sock-Glide on it, I dropped it, sending the glide to the floor! The clattering noise was so loud, it made me jump! Sorry, folks! At least the feet and legs were looking good! The poor people who were still in bed must have got a bigger shock.

Got on the Computer

Made a start on this blog. But not for long. Took this photo through the balcony windows. Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters began losing contact with the brain, causing me some hassle and to lose so much time, to correct and check things. Very aggravating. Humph!

♥ Morning Carer Arrived ♥

It was Jill. I think she'd let herself in and had a ferret around the junk room to see how things were. Before coming in the front room behind me (on the computer) and giving me the regulation jump on hearing her voice, Hehe! 

Jill got the medications sorted out for me. Then we had a little chat, which was super-duper!

Back on the Computer

After a while, I made the first brew of tea of the day, Thompsons Punjana. Very welcome, it was too! I continued, falteringly, with the updating of this blog.

The Door Chimes Chimed!

It was the window cleaner. I waffled on to the captive audience of one about last night's terrible sleep, my concerns over the decluttering etc. The chap was patient with my persiflage and grumbling on and on. I paid the gentleman and thanked him. Apologising for my blethering chitter-chattering.

Back on the Computer Again

The balcony window caught my eye as I sat down in the swivel chair. And I took this snap of the view through the freshly cleaned windows.

I ventured out onto the balcony and took these two shots with the Kodak.

The first one, the new end car park, had the sun coming behind to ruin my chances of getting a decent picture. Shame! The tenant who is still working had his red van neatly parked between the lines, not! The same two red cars in the new park, and I think three Nottingham City Homes maintenance vans. The second shot of the balconies to my right, capturing the clear sky and beautiful trees of Woodthorpe Grange Park.

Phonecall

A chap from the Rehab Team called. He made an appointment to come and see me. Tuesday 17th @ 14:00hrs. I assume it is from the stroke rehab team or the Diabetes... maybe cardiac? A Sarah Singh will be calling on me.

Ode Penned

I posted it as a stand-alone one. Cause I thought it read somewhat humorously...ish! 

Link: Ode To Hopes

Herbert

Huh! Herbert was giving it some clout all the way through the Ode creating. Bless Him! Later on, he started drilling, then back to the tap-tapping. I hope he doesn't hurt himself too much. I'd settle for a broken bone or two for him, as long it was painful enough.

CorelDrawing

Made two graphics, they all help.

Settled for Catnap

Hoping to attain a state of dormancy for the brain. Free me from the Thought-Storms for a short while. At least, get some somnolence. Just getting some shut-eye would be grand. But, No! Hypnagogia and dysphoria ensured that Sweet Morpheus did not pay me a visit. Not to mention the three trips for a wee-wee in half-an-hour?

I admitted defeat. Threw the towel in and climbed out of the £300, second-hand, c1968, eyesorely-horrendously grungy coloured, haemorrhoid-testing, unfit-for-use, recliner. As I stood up to catch my balance: 'Clunk, Thud, Whirrrr!' came from above. Thanks, unfriendly, standoffish, sullen, frosty, ungregarious, unamiable, snotty, Herbert.

Got The Nosh Prepped

I tried not to put so much on the plate today; I think I managed it? Hehehe!

Cutting back on the spuds was hard, but sheer fear of Sister Janes cutting, scathing, scary, condemnations, denunciations, and admonish-mentating helped me eat less. Hahaha!

Carer Arrived

It was Eliska, no doubt a beautiful young lady. It was hard to hear what she says, she's a low, quiet voice, and with the facemask on, I have to guess what Eliska said sometimes, and I felt a fool always asking her to repeat what she had said. Caution to the wind, she removed her mask after that when she sole to me - did you get that? Spoke to me. I do love a chinwag, no matter how difficult. ♥ I was a smidge sad when she had to leave.
