FRIDAY 8th OCTOBER 2021

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

Hibernation Over

00:30hrs: Woke with a jump but felt much betterer than earlier on.

Whoopsiedangleplop!

Like a new man, I almost shot out of the recliner and took a wee-wee. With a much-increased force, this was also more energetic like what I was feeling and torrented into the NWWB (Nocturnal-Wee-Wee-Bucket). So much so, I got hit with some splash-back and had to tend to the cleaning up.

Whoopsiedangleplop!

Off to the kitchenette to put the kettle on for a brew of Glengettie. I espied that I had left the potatoes cooking for hours and hours, perhaps ten, I reckon, in the crock-pot! Burnt my finger taking the lid off, Haha! Washed up everything and got some more freshly cooking.

Whoopsiedangleplop!

Went to pull the crock-pot away from the teabag pots, and I foolishly pulled the slow-cooker by the option knob - it came of in my hand!

Up a smidge again!

Computeristioning

Updated yesterday's blog and got it published to Blogger. Emailed the link. Went on Facebooking.

Time For Another Brew

Thompsons Punjana this time, and very lovely and tasty it was. Took another photo from the Kitchen window.

Is He Even Aware?

Shirt Washed

No net, so I got the shirt washed.

It looked multi-coloured, doesn't it? That's because of where I spilt the bleach on it last month when I got the darned Peripheral Neuropathy shakes. Tsk! Around the collar.

Computing Again

But not for long - Morning Carer arrived.

It was a new gal, a pretty little thing, named Maryam Attahiru. She got the medications sorted, and we had a little nattering session. But she didn't take the bags to the cute for me. So, I took them after she'd gone. A nice lass!

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

Started On Template

Got it set up, and I began to do this post, at long last.

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

Of To Get The Leeks Done

I got the leeks prepped to go in with the potatoes in the slow cooker. I managed to stab my finger doing them.

Accifauxpas

seasoned them and into the pot.

Bacon Done to Add to the beans!

Social Services Rang

Lady asked, seeking questions about how I live, what I can and can't do etc. Many inquiries were made and answered.

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

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

Got The Main Nosh Sorted

I hope it will taste alright with Bacon & Beans, with a beefburger and leeks - black bean sauce added. Here goes...

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

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

Meaty Dish

Looked good, smelt fine, took an age to make, and to clean up the mess after cooking it - and it tasted flipping awful! Eurgh! 3/10! Stomach ache later!

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

Fell Asleep

But woke after an hour or so, with pangs in the tummy and a headache?

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

Carer Arrived

It was Helen. She looked all in, bless her. Done a long shift. I tried to cheer her up a bit. Showed her the nighttime view from the balcony. Took her photo while she was taking in the vista.

Helen had not been on a balcony in the flats before, and she was impressed with the view. We identified different areas, The Victoria flats, Trent University, City Hospital etc., and I was glad she's cheered up somewhat.

She said she was on holiday for two weeks and would see me when she returned. Gave her a can of her choice and some nibbles as she departed. Helen did not take the waste bags to the chute on the way out. So I did when she'd gone, still looking tired-out, but definitely cheerier, which was brilliant!

Updated this blog

Another long job, but with my mini-success in cheering Helen up, I'd boosted my own frame of mind. Hehehe!

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

Unbelievable, so late in the day!

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

Got the blog checked

Finding more mistakes to correct than things I'd done right! Tsk!

.The editing took over an hour! Then Blogger kept changing my formatting after I'd sorted it? Knagwangles!

I must find time to get back into WP working on the none-block form.

Posted to Blogger

Emailed the link and went on Facebook. Made the Ode below.

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

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

I woke, feeling happier, about humanity,

Although it was twinged with subjectivity,

The wee-wee for once showed no resistivity,

In fact, there was great productivity, 

Which promised a certain positivity,

Helped me reduce my recent negativity!

- - - - - - - - -

Liberty-Global went down, as I thought it might,

Experiences told me, no need for foresight,

So, this blog I could no longer expedite,

Virgin down four times since midnight,

My anger and hatred this did incite,

Fries, the Liberty-Global CEO, I wanted to fight!

Incapable con-man and overpaid troglodyte!.

Jealousy, revenge? You're damned-well right!

- - - - - - - - -

At times I felt like Tweedle Dum and Dee,

The usual happenings, mostly unlucky,

Nosh was horrible, my worst ever entree!

Morning Carer, a new gal, kind and pretty,

But too young for me, what a pity!

My plans contained very little doability,

Even without my many a disability,

Not to mention my increasing senility!

- - - - - - - - -

At times hopes, I sorely lacked,

Thought I ought to be Prozacked,

But often got so sidetracked...

With Carer Helen, I did interact,

Surprisingly, exhilarating, but a fact,

Out of this day, I did extract...

An odd desire, to be living in Pontefract!

- - - - - - - - -

I cheered up, began to feel fine?

Mayhaps helped by the bottle of wine?

A new lump found underarm, likely benign,

The sun no longer did shine,

I began to feel somewhat saturnine.

Virgin internet again went offline,

All a positive, definite sign...

It's time to take my amitriptyline!

That'll make the brain labyrinthine!
