INCHIES DAY: Thursday 14th October 2021 + Ode To Coping

♥ Shopping break for our TFZers? ♥

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

THURSDAY 14th OCTOBER 2021

03:00hrs: I sprang awake, bounded out of the recliner, did fifty press-ups, finished the Telegraph crossword, sent...

Well, no, alright then:

0300hrs: I woke up feeling groggy, the innards rumbling threateningly, passed wind involuntarily, sensed the warm liquid from Little Inchies fungal lesion, and began to sink into a depression. But I was saved the ignominy by the need of a wee-wee.

Porcelain Throne

Off to the wet room to investigate the Little Inchies problem; I was secretly hoping the wet damp in the PP's front would be from PMD (Pre-Micturition-Dribbling) and not blood from the lesion. My hopes were not fulfilled!

As I pulled down the PPs, I felt the pain from the semi-dried blood crackling, but the most important goal was that I get on with the evacuation first; it was on its way... no stopping it!

Evacuation

Yee-Ha! As near-perfect performance as I've ever had! Smooth! No blood from the rear end, no pain or discomfort from releasing the solid chunky torpedo.

But, of course, now the agony of sorting out the lesion was required!

Nothing like a bout of self-imposed excruciating agony to wake one up in a morning! It took me half an hour of eeks, arghs, and naughty words used to get things cleaned up and medicated.

I think the stinging from the ointment delayed my recovery. Haha! I might not look it in this snap, but I felt a lot better when the medication was finished...

Health Checks Done

The blood pressure had edged up this morning. Now placing me back in the Hypertension Stage 2. And the pulse had jumped up again, to 102!

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

Computerisationing

No making a brew, straight onto the computer, got the photos sorted, and started updating yesterdays blog.

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

Just a few times in the hour
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ode Wrote

Created the Ode for Wednesday's blog. Checked things out posted it off to Blogger. Emailed the link and went on Winwood Heights and TFZer Facebooking pages. I got carried away a bit.

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

Five times in the hour

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

Porcelain Throne No. 2

Hell of a difference this time! Stinky, gooey, bloody and messy. Humph!

I think the swollenness in the feet is going down well. But, we'll see.

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

Made a Brew of Glengettie


But I didn't get to drink it.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was Sobia who had come in and crept right up behind me and gave me a mild, minor heart attack. Hehehe! Sobia got the tablets sorted, asked me why I was not wearing my slippers. Asked me, "Anything else you want?" I realised that I must not answer that question. I was tempted, but humour is not her strong point, so I didn't. Har-har!

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

Just two in the hour

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

Made Another Brew

Then started making a template for today's blog.

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

Washed Jacket

I moved the thick zip-up jacket from the sink into the wet room to continue drip drying. Not so warm this morning.

I later moved it to the stand-up clothes airer cause it didn't seem to want to be dried? I'll remember this when it needs washing again.

View From the Balcony

Zoomed-in straight ahead, this shot of the refuse-lorry had to be taken three times before I managed to catch the amber flashing light. It was on The Rise.

.

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

CorelDraw graphics Needed

It's another busy day! Slow going again.

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

Just four in the hour, no... five now.

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

Nosh Nibbled

Ready-made fresh meal, beef in black bean sauce. I added some potatoes and peppers, water chestnuts, with a splash of black bean sauce to the dish. Flavour: 8.8/10.

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

Carer Julia Arrived

Always a pleasure to have a visit from Julia. As she arrived, I was struggling to get the Phorpain rubbed into the ankles... within a minute, she'd got her gloves on and was down on her knees rubbing in the gel for me, marvellous above and beyond help that was well-appreciated!

Julia turned her attention to getting the medications sorted out and ensuring I didn't miss or drop any ♥.

We had a mini-natter about the door chime not working and how to get help fitting the new one. Who to ask? That is the question. The writing is so tiny, I can't hold the magnifying glass steady enough to use that.

I bade the girl farewell, a sadness dawned on me; ♫ When will I see her again ♫ singing in my heart. The loss of Jillie was too much. To lose Julia would add to my misery... The EQ warned me not to get too attached... the Thought Stormimg started; I have done without them.

Four in the hour.

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

Got the Computer Back On

Computer Closed!

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

Head Down

Zzz!

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

Life is all a bit of a daze,

Although in many ways,

On the odd days...

Not an unpleasant haze,

Memories, gone aways,

Nasty ones they always stays?

Important ones turn into a maze,

Each plan made decays...

Not sometimes, but always!

Life seems worse on Sundays?

Thought-Storms, mental affrays,

No chance of rest, or a laze,

But I try to cope, always,

And I will, one of these days!

Inchies Day: Sunday 3rd October 2021: Struggling this Sunday, in a pickle, no carers came...

♥ Hello! What going on here then? ♥

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

Saturday Night

Nosh:

Taste Rating 8/10.

Worst Ever Liberty-Global Outages

I did my bestest to finish the updating of the Facebook sites. But...

Ten minutes later...

8 minutes later...

12  minutes later.

Four minutes later.

Two minutes later.

Gave up waiting...

I realised it would mean hassle in the morning, trying to catch up, but I had no other choice but to quit.

I don't suppose Mr Fries, the $22million handsome salaried CEO of Liberty-Global, who owns Virgin Media, having paid $23billion for the privilege, and tries to hide the fact, hoping that the morons (Aka, customers) will blame Richard Branson for the inept, pathetic, service Virgin now... does he give a toss?

I don't think so!

SUNDAY 3rd OCTOBER 2021


06:50hrs: I woke up later than usual, having had over five wonderful hours kipping (With a few breaks for a wee-wee). The brain was stuttery, confused and resistant to anything logical as I attempted to concentrate on what this day will bring and jobs that needed to get achieved.

I very nearly nodded off again, but a double prompting stopped me. One, the need of a wee-wee. The other, the realisation that the carer may arrive at any time now. 

So, I took the wee-wee. Went to get a wash and brush up and get some clothes on my elephantine torso and skinny limbs.

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

Sys nudged up a smidge, and the pulse was again at 102. as it was last Monday. Body temp dropped an iota.

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

Started Prepping Josies meal

I got the base for the BBQ chilli in the saucepan. Added some leeks, onions and mushrooms later to it.

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

J Sainsbury's Arrived

Of course, I hadn't forgotten about them coming at all, it was just that I was so busy, and the brain was still a little foggy, and with... alright, I forgot! The delivery driver soon sorted me out; I put the things in a box and bag I gave her and helped me bring them into the hallway.

There didn't seem much stuff delivered for £54 odd pounds?

Thanked the lady and tended her a choice of cans of plonk in thanks. I soon got the things sorted and stored.

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

The brain began to work!

It flooded from the grey matter. The Amazon Bucket and mop thingy is being delivered today, the Falls Team lady is calling tomorrow, and why has no Carer called yet? Mmm?

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

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

08:10hrs - No Carer Yet?

I was so far behind, I'd not even started on this blog yet!

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

Got the bath towel soaking

Put the grotty looking white bath towel in the sink to soak with bleach and liquid soap flakes, and put the kettle on. By the way, I was wee-weeing very often again.

 Moved it into the wet room.

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

The right foot looked threatening

Accifauxpa!

As I checked on Josie's meal. Moved the spuds, leeks and mushrooms to the saucepan. Added sauce.

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

Whoopsiedangleplop!

I stubbed a toe; on my right foot! Argh! The right ankle was a little lumpy? I must make a start on this blog; I've not even got the template done yet... but no!

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

The Intercom Rang

It was the Amazon man!

He'd brought the flat mop and bucket?

Well, I thought he had brought the bucket and mop, but the box was small?

How large it looked on the box...

And, in reality!

Here, compared to a 1litre bottle!

The six pieces of the mop were fun working out and about as safe as a Lim-Dem Government would be! I'm not too keen on trying it out now. Humph!

Dangerous to use, methinks?

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

Josies Meal Made

Added the little treats to her tray and off to serve it up at her front door.

I was integrated as to the contents, as usual, of the dish. Hehe! Josie sounded in good form to me, which was nice.

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

Towel Moved

Transferred the bath towel from the wet room to the clothes airer.

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

Waste to chute room

Got the bags sorted along with the cardboard from the so-called mop bucket delivery. Cindy'sHaha!

Accifauxpa!

Stubbed my toe on the trolley wheel when I misjudged the distance at the door!

Ah, well!

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

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

The skies Darkened

In patches?




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

Car Park Photos


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

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

Blogging

Hard work, so far behind. The evening carer might be coming already? And an hour later, the rain spots came as it got even darker now.

But pretty with it! No, even majestic?

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

Got something to eat

So tired again. The brain-power is weakening as well.

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

Looked at the Comments

Tim and Bill replied to.

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

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

Got to rest now!

But not sleep, too mixed headed.

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

Got My Nosh


Mash with Worcestershire Sauce. Chilli Chicken and some raw Peruvian shelled peas, lemon mousse. 8.2/10.

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

Carer Arrived

I'd fallen to sleep with the well-emptied tray still balancing on my rotund belly - and Carer Helen came in. Haha! It's all a bit of haze as I was still in a sleep-induced semi-trance as I woke. I can remember falling back to sleep after Helen had departed.

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

Woke Up - Feeling Guilty?

I wish I could work out why. But I got up and started to clean and mop the kitchen floor with the new pretty-useless mop bucket equipment delivered...


A bruise or two and a cut acquired on the fingers from having to replace the cheapo plastic attachments that kept falling off of the bucket top. Put the perhaps never to be used again tackle in the wet room, and wee-weed like a marathon champion, as confusion returned.

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

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

Sweet Morpheus Resistant!

The Thought Storms flowed as I got done in search of sleep. No chance, so I put the TV on... managed a few nod-offs, but they were terribly short affairs of a few minutes each time. Eventually, I must have drifted off cause I woke up about 04:00hrs, after about three hours kip.
