TUESDAY 10th AUGUST  2021

I woke in utter mental confusion. I lay there getting the head sorted out as best I could. But EQ was warning me of stress to come, and although Jill told me she was not calling this morning, the EQ insisted that Jill would be attending? My thoughts kept jumping from one thing to another, totally unconnected? Iceland order due, Amazon Scratchings are due to be delivered today.

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

Wee-Wee Needed

05:50hrs: The mental torment was relieved by the demand from the bladder that I take wee-wee, somewhat urgently. So I did! It was an unwilling, trickling session, with masses of the tiniest droplets of CMD (Cessational Micturition Dribbling). Unfortunately, all the following wee-wees were of the same model, and they were many of them, so many at one stage I was physically fed-up with them, and Little Inchy became sore and tender. Not a very good start to the day. Worra life!

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

Health Checks Completed

Had a quick wash and got on with the medical checks. Made this graph of the results.

Aha, back down into the orange zone again! Encouraging that, let's hope it stays there. Hello, off for another wee-wee!

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

Got the kettle on

But no time for a brew - the innards informed me that the Porcelain Throne was needed - so that where I went. Hehe!

You can tell it was another Constipation Colin controlled session by how far I got on with the crosswording. It took even longer and more effort this morning to get the action started. However, once moving, it smoothly yet painfully flowed. And once again, no bleeding! Yee-Haa!

The pins and plates were looking paler than they had done in ages. On the plus side, all of the veins, blotches. Papules, scars, etc., seem to have disappeared from view? That'll do!

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

Back On The Computer

Put some potatoes in the crockpot, unseasoned. Made the belated brew of Glengettie tea. And onto the computer once again.

Email From Iceland

I'd ordered some Wholemeal cobs, two packs of four, on offer. These were for treats and one pack of six small-sized, ready-sliced one for myself. Iceland had no boxes of fours ordinaire, so sent two more bags of the sliced ones. I would not have room in the freezer for eighteen rolls! Once again, they had none of the Jacobs Leicester cheese nibbles, and they substituted the plain cheese ones again. Bein as I am currently trying to declutter, with the help of Jill, I intend to send them back and reject these substitutions.

There! Willpower!

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

Made a start on this Blog

After about an hour and a half (and three more wee-wees), I had to return to the wet room to use the Porcelain Throne again.

It was the same style as the first go, but there was more evacuated product this go.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

While I was just emptying and sanitising the almost filled up Emergency Wee-Bucket, I heard a rustling sound as the carer came in, down the hallway and disappeared into the front room.

As I came out of the wet room, I discovered it was Carer Jillie who'd come in! So, the EQ was correct, yet again! The gal soon sorted the medications for me and took things away to help with the decluttering process. ♥ 

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

Iceland Delivery Arrives

I was a smidge proud of myself for remembering to return the cobs and biscuit substitutions. The driver put the bags through into the hallway for me, bless him. Thanked him and offered him a treat, but he refused, and off he went.

I got the fodder stored away.

The fridge was much fuller now, and the freezer... well, cram-packed full!

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

Waste Bags Assembled

I made another bag and added this one to the others in the box. Got them balanced rather wonkily balanced on the walker-trolley lid.

I added a bog for Jenny, Doris and Frank, and one for Deana. Set out with the following plan:

To the chute-room and drop the bags in the shaft. Down to Jenny's flat, leave the bag outside her door. Then down to the ground floor and walk through to the Winwood Court to the office with the wardens treats, then back to see if I can find caretaker Robert for a chinwag. Sounded good to me! And back up to the flat.

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

To the Chute-Room

As I was putting the first bag down the tube, I caught my knuckle on the corner of the cast iron cover. The bleeding soon stopped. As I was putting the first bag down the tube, I caught my knuckle on the edge of the cast iron lid. A quick suck and the bleeding soon stopped.

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

Into the Lift Lobby

To catch the elevator down to Jenny's level.

Dropped off the bag at Jen's and down in the lift to the ground floor elevator lobby. Deana was putting up some posters, so I handed her the bag and walked through to look for Robert. Up in the cage, with the now emptied box and trolley walker, I trundled once more to the flat.

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

HOME!

In through the apartment door...

Left the trolley half in, and half out, of the flat door. And had to hasten to the wet room for a wee-wee, yet again! I'm getting fed up of this!

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

Herbert was giving it some hammer!

I went onto the balcony and took these shots of the new car parking spaces. The end park is in use now, I reckon?

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

Nosh Prepped.

Minced beef, leeks, tomatoes and puree. Beef cube, squid sauce, and a drop of liquid smoke. Hope it comes out alright.

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

Updating Blog

I updated this post and then investigated the local YourArea Emagazine for interesting or annoying to copy and use.

Amazon Due Shortly

Waiting for Delivery

Then I'll get some nosh sorted out. I'm getting peckish, to put it mildly.

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

Depression? A pain in the perinea,

Memory loss? More annoyance in the derriere,

Peripheral Neuropathy? Vestibulocochlear,

Losing track causes unintentional logorrhoea,

Frustrations can cause sickening nausea,

Memories can be recalled of yesteryear,

But not Doctors appointments nowadays, I fear!

Waking up sometimes, with my brain out of gear,

The eyesight; Saccades assures is never too clear,

Common sense tends to disappear!

Nattering and chinwagging, I hold so dear...

I'm losing it; to me, that's not queer!

As for being adopted? Can I volunteer?

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

The Amazon Delivery

I think, according to the tracker, the chap is further away than he was over an hour ago? 

And the smell from the chilli beef stew is driving me crazy - and I still dare not go to get the ablutions done yet - and the carers might come soon - I'm pissed-off again!

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

Checked Tracker Again

I think the Amazon driver is getting further away than ever now? Knackered my eating a meal. Can't get the ablutions done. Carers may be due anytime now. No chance of a kip! Blungletadcrap! Ruined the day for me. They told me when I put the order in that it will be delivered by 13:00hrs today - it's now nearly 17:00hrs, and the man seems to be going in the opposite direction... I am miffed! 

The Funglecraptwats have ruined my homemade from scratch minced beef chilli meal! Stopped me from getting any sleep, and I'm selly from no being able to wash and shave... And still, I don't know when or if they will arrive!!! Cragnangles!

And Herbert is tap-tapping, knock-knocking away to his heart's content up above. Snotty, superior Herbert is a ... Oh, never mind! But I do! I have never been, so wee'd off.

Checked The Tracker Again

He's miles further away now!

Starting Template for Tomorrow

Did half an hour, but my heart is no longer in it! I'm starving, hungry, pissed off, tired and likely to make myself ill with all the hassle! Gitbuggers! I'll have another look at the tracker. Huh!

Look at this bugger! A New ETA Now - not the 13:oohrs any longer, of course, but...

I'm Fed-Up!

Just thought I'd mention it in passing.

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

Amazon Arrives

All was forgiven when I saw the almost hangdog, down-in-the-mouth expression on the poor delivery drivers face. I offered a can of plonk, and he took it, bringing a slight smile to his face - worth a fortune thinking I'd cheered him up.

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

Got the ablution done

At long last!

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

Evening Carer Arrived

It was young Katsia. She presses the door buzzer before coming in. Hehehe! Soon got the medications sorted, and time for a bit of a chinwag was much appreciated. ♥

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

Evening Chilli Time

I really enjoyed this beauty of a chilli. Flavour rating: 9.2/10. Cleared up, wee-wee'd, had down, TV on and... Zzz!

Friday 6th August 2021: Photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, that might be told?

♥ The TFZer Pool Car - Nancy at the wheel ♥

FRIDAY 6th AUGUST 2021

05:30hrs: Woke up feeling weary. Forced out of the discomfort of the recliner, in need of another strained, weak unwilling wee-wee.

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

Straight to the Handwashing?

The haziness of the mind was lasting longer than usual. Almost in automatic mode, I found myself doing the handwashing of a long sleeve tee-shirt.

Potatoes in the crockpot.

Giant spuds today, ready to slice and serve later on, with the undecided yet meal.
Opened and left open the kitchenette window, took a shot of the morning view.

Sorted a few waste bags.

Got them in the box, ready to go down later on.

Feeling shattered already! Haha! 

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

Important Stuff Now - Made a Brew!

At last, a mug of Glengettie tea. Bootiful!

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

Mug Of Glengettie

I drank it on the balcony and took these shots of the morning views of the end car park on Chestnut Walk, awaiting marking lines? Plenty of red and black cars parked about again.

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

Phoo-Testing Kit Investigated

Opened the packet... The instructions were clearly indicated... The contents were well-arranged. A graph of requirements was simply laid out. I decided to get this done today. Blimey, a decision made? Just the one sample needed this year. The return box looked easy enough to use. (But this was not the case, as you'll read later).

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

Prepping Photos To Use

Uploading and started editing pictures for use on this blog and realised I'd only taken one wee-wee this morning. Eerie that!

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

I was given a Lovely Shock! ♥

There I was, nose to the computer screen, and got a very welcome surprise, that made me jump a little, but with joy? The lovely Carer Jill (Who I have been mistakingly calling Valerie, sorry about that) had come in without me hearing her and was right behind me as she greeted me - boy oh boy, she startled me! Hahaha! But, with it being Jill, my spirits rose immediately!  

The gal soon had the medications and questions sorted out for me. Jill checked on the poo instructions for me, and the bottle the stick has to go in is tiny; she realised this and agreed to write the date, as required on the label for me. The space was too small for me to write readable on it. Bless her cotton socks. ♥ Plus, now she has done this, it will encourage me to ensure that it gets done on the next Porcelain Throne visit.

On leaving, Jill took some handouts and the bags to the waste-chute for me. She is so kind! ♥ I thanked her as she departed.

Clunk, thud, Tap-Tap

The unloquacious but noisy Herbert kicked off with his noise. It must be a big job he's on today; he kept on for a long time, well, an hour or so.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.

Porcelain Throne - Phoo-Sampling

Within minutes, the need for the Porcelain Throne arrived, and off I trotted with the kit to the wet room. A fiddly messy job, pooping into a container, I can tell yer. When it came to getting the sample into the box, the Tear Here strip, which I tore... left a mess of cardboard still on top of the glue! I'll not go into detail.

I had to use sellotape to secure it for posting.

Left a right mess with bits of the cardboard stuck all over it. Ah, well, hope they take it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.

Whoopsiedangleplop - Accifauxpas!

As I was getting the things out of the cupboard later to redistribute, this worries me somewhat; the left hand did a right side hand failure of Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters! 
I dropped the bag of sugar I was moving, and with a nonchalant plop, it fell into the jug of water. Splashing the floor, cooker and me all over!

This put a damper on my previous contentedness! Got the mess sorted out, and with a pissed-off Humph! I went back to the computer.

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

Round Two of Herberts Noise

Sullen, but noisy Herbert kicked off again. However, for a shorter period, bless him!

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

Updating This Blog

Made some progress, thanks to Nicodemus's right hand not playing up so bad. Got the bag of recyclables and took it down to the bin, hoping to nee Robert and have a natter, and take the weekend treat to the office.

Back in a bit... I hope!

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

Inchies Mission Plans

1) Take the recycling down to the bin. (Have a look for Robert (Caretaker) to have a chinwag, gossip, or moan with)

2) Try to find Warden Deana (She's on her own this week, Warden Julie is on holiday, so she might well be a busy gal).

3) Post the Phoo sample back.

It should be simple enough... he says!

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

All Readied and Off Out...

Bag of treats and recycling on the walker, with the return phoo-envelope in the trolley bag.

In the elevator

Down to the ground floor

The dank, dark ground floor lobby.

Through The Link Tunnel

Someone might be able to tell me what these flowers in the rest area outside are. They were being blown about a bit but seemed so resilient.

On the Other side to the left

I'm not sure what these plants are either. But, they could do with a trimming?

Deana was in her Office

Called in to try and cheer her up. Gave her the treats, wished her well, and outside I went.

Out To Post the Phoo-Package

Which I did. I thought about how well I was doing... but nervously, this doing well if foreign to me. Still, it was lovely! Hehe!

Posted the Mail Back in Winwood Court

Through the Link Passage Back

I took a photo of the 'green area' outside.

This reminded me even more of the day of 'The Day of the Triffids. Hee-hee! 

Photographed Winwood's Laundry.

Nice and roomy, well cleaned.

I Saw Carer Katzia.

I met Carer Katzia in the second link passage. She was taking someone's rubbish to the bin but refused to let me take her photograph, but amusingly let me take a shot of the bags. Hehehe! 

Into the Woodthorpe Court Lift

And up to the apartment. Not the most exciting of trips, well, it was to me. I enjoyed getting out, even for such a limited excursion.

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

Home, Kettle On - Wee-Wee

I made a brew of Glengettie tea, and as I put the milk in, I thought someone had turned off the lights! So sudden, the darkness and a rain shower came on, the likes of which I have never seen before. Vicious, yet it only lasted a minute or so?

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

Handwashing - Accifauxpas

Why you may well ask. So do I! And, I made a right mess of it too. Somehow or other, moving the bottle of bleach away from the bowl, the cap shot off, and I dropped the flipping thing! I thought I may have been quick enough to prevent any damage... but no! You can see where the bleach got on it, around the neck collar. So, now I have a grey and pinkish designed shirt. Humph!

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

Wee-Weeing Ad Nauseam, Now!

I'm getting a sore bottom, and the bottom's pustule is getting painful from all the getting up for a discharge of urine from the bladder so often and plumping down again... then, within minutes, I'm off once more! Worst of all, poor old Little Inchies fungal Lesion is getting a battering each time and is sure to be bleeding again, the stabbing and piercing pains so need some Daktacorting soon - Argh! Call it what you like, the widdling, piddling, slashing, wee-weeing or micturating, has never been so often in my life... 

I hobbled into the wet room to find the Dakacort® cream; it was almost a pleasure not to find it - pain avoidance-wise, I mean. But something had to be done, else the bleeding will not stop of its own accord... Well, it might be when all the blood is gone. Hehehe! I checked in the kitchen drawers. 

Damn it! I found a box. Hehe! Off to the wet room and applied some of the ointment, needing another wee-wee part-way through the procedure! This could be bad! But maybe not; this time, the pain was at level 6, not the usual 9. It's a life and a half innit?

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

Back on the Computer

Within five minutes, I was tinkling in the grey bucket again. Not that I was ridding a lot of wee, they were all of the PSSU (Persistent, Short, Sharp, Uncomfortable) mode.

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

Back on the Computer

Had a look at the YourArea Magazine

Hoping to find some news that was not depressing for once. Here I go...

 Not a lot!

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

Template Created

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

Bit brighter temporarily

Well, a bit!

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

Late now

Oh, bugger it, I've no graphics in hand. Huh! Better get on CorelDraw then and make some, pronto! Better get on with the template again.

Running out of time and concentration again here, the Carer will be due soon.

Pressed on with Graphicationalisationing.

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

Evening Carer Arrived

Carer Jill ♥ arrived; by her usual silent approach tactics, she made me jump again. I wonder if they are planning to see me off? A few of them don't press the buzzer before coming in. Hahaha!

She was in a rush. She'd had a long day, bless her. Still managed a minute of chinwagging about how things are going and a laugh or two. ♥ 

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

I shall finish the updating...

He says, full of confidence - Hehehe!

Post it off - go on Facebooking, email the link, and then get some potatoes, peas and mackerel for supper. Or shall I? Will I stay awake long enough? May I fall asleep at the computer (Yes, it has been known - and I fell off of the chair - but unlike Brother-in-Law Pete, I didn't break my neck, as he did when he fell asleep and plopped off of the settee arm where he was seated at the time!) Better get on with it,, or It'll be gone midnight again before I get my head down......

 ARGH! 

18:50hrs: SHIT! Internet Down Again!

Unbelievable!

 Gits! 

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

1910hrs: Hello, It's Back on, Although Slow

Better get it posted while I can. Then try Facebooking, and Emailing the link.

I shall do a follow up in the morning, that is if the internet is on, of course...

 Grrr!
