FRIDAY 17th SEPTEMBER 2021

Woke up, time unknown. But it was some silly early morning time. The Computer had been left in sleep mode, so I got the Health Checks done... No wee-wee required? Mmm?

Bloated Feet Check

The water retention feet seemed about the same as yesterday, but the toes had filled up more. Waking was painful, no worse than yesterday, mind you.

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

Hand Washing

Got two shirts laundered, rinsed, rung-out and hung up to drip dry.

Made a Brew-Carer Came

T'was Valerie this morning. The gal looked a little harassed, bless her, she worries, and it is my given mission, each time she calls, to have her leaving in a lighter mood, if not contented.

Something is bothering her. She got the medications sorted but not wanting to chinwag much. My EQ knew that. I greeted her enthusiastically.

She didn't stay long at all; she wasn't grumpy, or anything like Val never is, but, as I say, she seemed as if someone or thing had ruffled her feathers a touch. This will not change my liking Val'.

When she left, she did not offer to take the made-up bags to the chute room for me; this was unusual for Valerie. I hope it isn't something I said? Bless her.

I remain fidimplicitary towards Valerie. She does try so hard to please. ♥

Come think of it, she was a fair bit late arriving. I bet that was what might have been bothering her? ♥

Aha, Activity in the end Car Park!

What's going on, I thought.

Got The Nosh Prepped

WHOOPSIEDANGLEPLOP!

 I've done it again! What a Plonker! 

VVD (Vascula Dementia Dorothy) had fooled me once more into thinking it was the wrong day. Two days out, this time! I felt for some unknown reason that it was Sunday! Is there no hope for me?

I ruddy-well went a stage further before I realised about my 'Fop-Doodle', stroke Whoopsiedangleplop!

Now, what do I do with all this unneeded food I've just spent over an hour in getting ready to take to Josie - on Sunday!

I've ordered a ready-made meal to arrive today for me, as well!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quoted:

The world is so full of simpletons and madmen that one need not seek them in a madhouse, but your own dwellings?

You were spot on there, Johann, mate!

Consulted My Note Pad...

It was a very sparse amount of scribbled reminders. Even some of them were unreadable, Humph! I made a brew of Glengettie in the tiny mug. Made a start on updating last nights notes, then made a start on this blog, at long last!

Hailed To The Porcelain Throne!

The evacuation styles are ever-changing, mutable, and vacillating. Day to day, sometimes even within a day; From one extreme to another!

Everything flowed without painful pushing being needed. A massive set of torpedos smoothly escaped. Only a speck or two of bleeding! Genuinely unique, but after two days of Constipation Conrad in control, Trotsky Terence was ahead of the game this morning.

I'd prefer not to mention the medicating today; it wasn't pleasant!

Bags To The Chute-Room

No Accifauxpas!

Amazon Morrison Order

I hear a knocking and neighbour... Clump! I've forgotten his name now! No, got it, Malcolm. What about him? Oh, yes, he was kindly taking the parcels from the Amazon/Morrison Shopper. And placed them in the Hallway for me. Why I didn't hear the intercom or door chime, I don't know? I thanked Malcolm, and I got the bags into the kitchen.

Seem to have a lot of bags today?

Fresh stuff in the fridge.

Lasagne & Bread in the freezer.

Potatoes in their new home under the draining board.

Cleaners away, spring waters, and Orange juice, too.

To The Chute Room Again

I'd made a few waste bags up in sorting out the delivery. A lot of things substituted, many items cut down to one of, again this week. Off with the box...

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

ACCIFAUXPAS!

On my way back to the flat, I stubbed one of the tender, fluid-filled toes on the door frame! Grumblecronkackers!

Of course, I took it all in stride and laughed it off immediately. 

The agony was of no concern to a man of my calibre... Oh, no! Reads quite well that lie, doesn't it?

Tried to get on WP Reader

Hope I can remember how I did it the other day...

Blimey, I got on!

Ablutionalisationing Session!

I'll be back in a while.

I'm Back!

A piece of cake! A doddle! Manifestly cushy!

And; Totally Accifauxpas-Free, Whoopsiedangleplop-Free, and Toe-Stubbing-Free! With a total of; you may find this hard to believe (I do, and I was there!), Only Three Dropsies!!!

To round off the fantastic session, after the shower, the feet were looking and feeling much betterer!

Awaiting The Evening Carer

Started a template for tomorrow.

Flipping Heck, Fatigue Fastly Fell!

As I was making the meal, my feet started stinging, and I was suddenly no longer up to doing much at all. Wearied! I made the meal and decided to get down with the legs up to ease the stinging. Sort of flopping down in the chair to eat.

The ready-made beef and black bean meal, with some potatoes, and bits from the stew made on a wrong day for Josie, were added. Eight minutes in the microwave, 4m. then stir and 4m. more.

It didn't look much but tasted alright. A flavour rating of 7/10.

Washed the pots - and Zzz!

I was woken up by a very late evening Carer Julie (not her fault). Who broke into sympathy mode when she saw me sat there with what looked like two Belisha beacons at the end of my raised legs. Hehehe! Soon got the medications sorted, and I think we spoke about the prescription, but I'm not sure. 

On her leaving, I insisted she take a can of the new treat drink called Woo-Woo.

I lay there, feeling Shattered

But I could sense the swollen feet were getting less painful and red. They might be at their peak. I think they will start to ease off now.

Just an EQ inspired thought.

I have to fend off the women, left and right,

'Cause my body is such a magnificent sight,

Girls love to meet me in the moonlight,

My masculine body is another highlight,

They tease me gently in the starlight,

In romancing, I have no kryptonite,

Of course, I'm lying again... alright!

  1. You Woo Wooed Julie. Good for you. Your feet still look swollen. Meal didn't look too bad for only rating a C.

    1. Hi, Tim,
      Woo-Wooable, that gal is. Well, in the old days, maybe. Haha!
      Tootsies coming down a bit more Sunday, Sir. Over the worst I hope.
      Cheers to all!

  2. A great account ot events on my birthday. Joe Biden was set on making it a national holiday, but will probably have to wait until 2022 for it to make the calendars.
    The BP is a bit on the high side, 129 tomorrow perhaps?
    That curled up black bag certainly looked like a sleeping black cat to my eyes. Well, it is the natural look for our place. Glad you were not setting a cat out for recycling.
    I had thought it might have been a HERBERT free day, but just did not happen that way, did it?
    A grand-appearing nosh, Sir. The red and blue make it a luxury item at the finest restaurant in Nottingham. Perhaps at the Alchemilla? Sir Google makes it easy to browse the Nottingham fine-eating scene with the greatest of ease, but it does not allow me download my order. What is up with that?
    A fine, pleasant ode to find at the end of a blog. Yer might be able to find a 10-star restaurant that would like you to read this to their fine diners.
    May good luck find it way to you on the upcoming Sadday.
    Adios!

  3. Dang decent of him Billum. I can send a few hundred thousand dollars through the mail if you like? Hahaha!
    Just had a peep at piccy - found the cat straight away, although didn't see it first time.

    Herbert is a persistent little dismissive, disrespectful, snotty, superior, contumelious gentleman.

    Well, they are missing a chance there of getting well in with you, I can't understand the restauranteurs of Snottingham (That was its original name, by the way). Another snippet to pocket, Sir! Haha! I imagine the delivery may take a while to get to you... yet they don't even try?

    Ah, Sadday, in the midst of it this moment Sir,
    But mentally It's all a blur,
    I wished I had not got to stir,
    The throat feel covered in fur...
    My tea tastes like its from the sewer...
    Ah, Sadday, gloom to expected as it were...
    One good thing though... humira, true Sir!

    Ablutionalisationing about to be launched into.

    Love to HRH, and keepeth safe!
