Tuesday 3rd August 2021: Photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, that might be told?

♥ Oh, yes, I love this! ♥

TUESDAY 3rd AUGUST 2021

05:00hrs: I woke in a quite spritely mood and mode... well, no, I didn't, sorry about that. But after yesterdays daymare of disasters, I did stir back into imitation life, a lot less depressed than I thought I would be... I think I got that sentence around my neck somewhere and how. Rose and took a wearingly weak, weeping-like, wee-wee.

Ablutioning & Medications

The intricacies of aged ablutioning! Those who claim they will never die, 'I will live forever...' As a reality check of what some old folks have to go through each morning and evening. After the Carers have called to give one's medication because they got in a mess taking so many, thanks to Vascular Dementia. The following details I publish to aid and warn these Whippersnappers.

I made for the wet room first, as I needed a damned good shave and stand-up wash. It was far too early to use the shower. (The nasty flood and Whoopsiedangleplop yesterday, when I left the tap running and returned to a fine mess that needed cleaning up and sorting out and obviously had no hot water to use for a shave or wash). I started with doing the teeth, using the prescription paste.

Ah, something else to forget as well. I must get help from someone to phone the dentist to ask how I go about getting some more of the Colgate® Duraphat® toothpaste on prescription; I've only one tiny 51g tube left to use now. There was only one dropsy of the toothbrush, as well! Yes!

Shaving next: Naturally, with over a days growth of beard, I had a few cuts here and there, but nothing of a serious nature; the bleeding soon stopped with a splash of aftershave and gritted teeth. Hehe!

Washed and rinsed, dried off, and started the medicalisationings of various ailments. 

Starting with the worst, most painful area, Little Inchies bleeding fungal lesion.

After this applicationing, the pain got worse! But I half expected it, with not doing any last night, due to loss of hot water from the Accifauxpa.

Moved on to ointmentating Harold's Haemorrhoids. Instant easing of the pain! This job was, and is, the most pleasurable of all the daily treatments. Grand!

.

Phorpain® gelled Arthur Itis's knees and Cartilage Cathy. Had a good rubbing in.

Move on to Germolene® old op scars on the belly.

Put the olive oil in the ear-holes.

Somehow, I managed to do the chloramphenicol eye drops for Saccades Sandra. I did pretty well today. I reckon about 30% of the drops got into the eye. Tsk! The 70%, as usual, ended up running down the cheek, discolouring the moustache on its way around the lips and into my mouth.

Did nasal declogging with Sterimar® and used some Evolve® eye drops to make up for the lost ones earlier. Well, I inadvertently drank. 

I got my jewellery back on... Haha!

Health Checks Completed

Great Results Again! I like this!

Belated First Brew of the Day

A mug of Glengettie made, potatoes put in the crockpot for later one.

Rushed to the Porcelain Throne

But I had a heck of a wait for the evacuation to start moving. No amount of enforced encouragement helped! So, I got the crossword book out, relaxed and waited...

Trying to do the crossword, whistling, picking my nose, singing quietly to myself, and waited... 

I got a few solutions. I involuntarily farted, and the action started, and things flowed, and it was not half-hearted, soon all that was going to had departed. Dang, messy with it, though!

Cunningly, Constipation Conrad had passed a Trotsky Terence-like torpedo. Crafty that!

Took some cleaning up all the same.

Took Some Loosener Med's

I don't want another session like that one!

Carer Julie Arrived

The gal seemed a smidge, almost nervous in a way? I checked that I had some trousers on - yep, they were. Hehehe! She soon sorted me out with the medications and remembered to ask the questions about what I'd taken earlier.

Made an order with Amazon

Not As Good As Sainsbury's - Not yet!

A least through Amazon, as opposed to using Morrison's own site to order, I have the option to list items as 'Do Not Substitute'. Then, of course, there are times when the Amazon delivery shopper will leave the bags downstairs in the lobby. And piss off! Often they get the wrong item as was wanted as well.

I recall one bloke, who seemed not to speak English, left all six bags in the outer lobby, and shot off! I had a most painful two hours getting them up to the flat. While I was on the way up or back down from the apartment, someone opened a bag and nicked my cream cakes! 

When I started sorting the bags, a bottle of Worcester Sauce wanted was a packet of Chestnuts? And the bottle of spring water was a Lucozade? I've depressed myself now!

We'll see. It's ordered for tomorrow, 08:00 > 10:00hrs. I've got a nervous uneasiness about this delivery... Oh, Dear, my EQ just laughed!

Herberts Rattling Away

Sounds like he's got an old printing press going?

Social Services Called

It was Neelah. The lady dealing with the decluttering company asked whether I want to go ahead. I asked questions as Valerie gave me to ask, but the subject kept changing and losing my thread and grip on the conversation.

I made notes as she spoke to put in the calendar. Provisionally it was booked for Monday 30th August. It gives me time to get the valuables collated together before the so-called expert arrives to do what he wants with my property.

I asked how I can pay the £335 bill, as the card will not run up that high? Neelah said she would phone John and find out how to pay the fee. I thanked her and went out on the balcony to ponder and muse over the events... and have a look at the scenery on offer. I took this photo.

Neelah Rang Back

The money has to be cash! The date was changed to Tuesday 31 August at 09:00hrs. I had a look at the calendar and changed it.

It's Feeling Cold?

Brrr! I'll shut the balcony door! That's better!

Had a go at Some Shredding

Not a Lot!

But every little helps... as someone must have said before Tesco used it. Have you noticed that companies, Tesco, Insurance and Food Delivery adverts, are finding new slogans that say absolutely nothing? 'We've got this!", 

There have been a few good ones, though. Reassuringly expensive, The appliance of science, Every Little Helps, Exceedingly Good Cakes, Loves the jobs you hate, Full of Eastern Promise! Your Flexible Friend, Put a tiger in your tank, For hands that do dishes can feel as soft as your face... Can you remember the products they were trying to sell? Hehehe!

Getting Hungry Now!

So, I made a meal of sorts.

Nice. 705/10 Flavour rating.

Evening Carer Arrived

Nice gal, but I can't remember her name. This is so maddening! However, I believe it might have been Jill, Julie, Eliska, Pamela,  Samantha, Carole. Elena, Ilia, Helena, Katsia, Julia, or Kara. Or maybe not? She got the medications sorted, offered to take some stuff down for the table, and took two bags for the waste chute. Bless her! ♥ Thanks, Gal, very kind of you.

Then did some Facebooking.

A Few Thoughts In Ode

Not been much today that I could call glam,

Oh, I'm fibbing, of course, I am,

Valerie came to see me, causing this epigram,

But work called her, she had to scram,

Then I felt as if I was a hologram,

My Thought Storms were all flimflam,

Have I taken my Oxazepam?

I think I'll have some bread and jam?

I took some CBD, just one milligram,

My Throne visit was as tight as a clam!

Tried the crossword, but damn...

A torpedo came out with a wham!

Veins on my leg looking like a diagram,

Emails came in, mostly spam,

I must stop, the brains in Bedlam!

Evening all!
