SUNDAY 22nd AUGUST 2021

0620hrs: I woke, got up, wobbled over to take a weak unwilling wee-wee, with lots of PMAD (Post-Micturition-After Dribbling). Then started off a 'Not sure what I was doing' set of tasks that I assume I'd been dreaming about that needed doing?

I sort of came out of the fixation-mode, as I stubbed my toe on something. I was in the spare rubbish room? I could see I'd been hard at it, in my usual start something and go to another before the first is completed job.

A box of cardboard had been started. I must have sorted the unwanted stuff cause a load of it was on the trolley in the hallway,

All these photographs I only vaguely remembered being taken. Yet there they were on the SD card: which triggered the memory somewhat, which helped.

These were taken in the sort-out room.

The bottom one, Was taken I believe, from the old sit-upon walker trolley. I sat resting (before falling asleep) after a funny turn that stopped me until Carer Jill woke me up. ♥ What a treasure!

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

♥ Carer Jill to the Rescue ♥

Circa 08:10hrs: Jill soon got me sorted out. AT first, the timing and what I had done was confused in the brain, but clever Jillie got the brain-box going again for me. A clever gal that! ♥ Beautiful, too!

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

More help From Jillie

I was getting more aware now, and I could communicate easier. Jill said she would take the order number for the failure to arrive trousers and contact them for me to find out what was what with them. A marvellous gal! I'd be in picklements galore without Jill's help; no one offers more help, concern and advice other than she. Oh, and some of the other carers go an extra yard for me, too. Fetching medications for me etc.. ♥

Jill got the medications sorted, went through the questions, fill in the log sheet, and then as she was leaving, she took some stuff down to the Winwood table and waste bags to the chute for me! ♥♥♥

Found Balcony Photos taken 

Came across some photos I must have taken from the balcony. Once I had perused them, the Sherlock Holmesian memory kicked in. (It does that sometimes)

Well, the new thousands of pounds costing new car park, to appease the vehicular owners, seems not so popular on a Sunday.

Below, on Chestnut Walk, the white vehicles dominated this Sunday morning. One, parked on the double yellow lines... Hehehe! I imagine there was not enough room for him or her to use the empty end Car Park?

I watched as a Winwood or Winchester resident went across the walk and towards the island, and threw something into the trees and bushes, then walked briskly back to the flats. I imagine, that she was feeding the birds or squirrels? Nice gesture!

Fn To The Computerisationing

Made the first brew of the day, Thompsons Punjana. Got sat down at the desk... and guess what?

Internet Down Again!

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

Food Prepping!

I was getting the food prepared for Josie's lunch. Doing well with it, and Sister Jane rang on the landline. Poor thing is worse off than me with her eyes. Sent to the hospital (QMC) again to be checked out. Not a great experience for her this time. New eye drops are given to her, and she has to wait for a decision on what the real problem is. With Jane's beloved Nottingham Forest sitting firmly at the bottom of the league, the lass is not in a good mood. Somehow she and Pete get through, I hope the news is good.

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

Food FEd to Josie

 Delivered to her front doot dead on time again. I had to rush a bit mine, with chinwagging with Jane. The hastening of my actions brought about an...

ACCIFAUXPA!

The beef stew was coming on well tastewise as I had to sample it at all stages.

I decided that a little more liquid smoke would be needed to be added to the pan...

As I was opening the screw-on cap, well! Humph! Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters failed, and I whipped off the lid too quickly, a minor Accifauxpa as some of the smoke spilt onto the kitchen floor... 

Not a lot! But I got down to wipe it up a little too quickly - I didn't want to be late for the first time delivering the nosh. But as I was getting back up, I clouted the back of my head on the counter corner... I believe I may have exclaimed something like, 'Oh, bother', or 'Flipping heck' But I got there just in time, but left a mess behind me that needed cleaning up. Oh, I took a photo of the tray earlier, with the stew and treats... But with my being behind and rushing so, I didn't notice the 'No SD CArd in this camera!' I piss myself off!

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

Jillie Returned!

As I got back in the door after handing the nosh over to Josie, the door burst open behind me. It was Jill coming to help with the Amazon cock-up again, bless her! She had contacted Amazon and got a live person, who said they need my details to advance any claim. Poor Jill was on her break when she rang them, that was why she was hurrying. She rang them, but bad to use the landline when she kept losing the signal. Within a few minutes, she had arranged for a refund for me and asked me if I will order them again? I wasn't sure at the time, I didn't want to go through all that loss of sleep, fretting and the things not arriving again? Jillie took some more things down with her for the Winwood table, and said she should see me again on Tuesday I think it was. What an Angel! ♥

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

herbert

Was back to his usual occasional tap-tapping and banging today. It's comforting to know he isn't ill or injured. Did I say that?

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

Spuds For INchy!

I got some potatoes cooking in the crockpot to add to the leftover stew for my nosh later.

There were two potatoes, that I didn't use, that was worthy of going to the Tate gallery!

Can you see a face in either? Haha!

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

Decision Made on Amazon

I decided to get trousers, but only Prime ones.

Whoopsiedangleplop

What a toadstool! I ordered some that just might be from the same supplier who let me down so badly! Burk!

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

Ablutionalisioning

AS I took off the dressing gown, I spotted more things worthy of going in the Tate.

A new selection of brown spots and papules, on my ginormous belly.

And surface veins had gone all feint?

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

Off To The Wetroom

Fantastic Session!

A few cuts shaving, but nowt serious. And, the total dropsies, were only about ten! Great!

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

Finished Blog Early

There's a valid reason for this. I got it wrong yesterday, thinking the doctors and Iceland delivery were coming today - it didn't take me long (about eleven hours), to work outthat today wasn't Monday. Tommoprows glog will contain what happens after this, but no doubt will be cock-cut contented spellin, detail, formatting, and memorywise. 

So, with needing to be up and ready for six-o'clock, it is vital get my head down straight after the carer has been. Lisa, I think.

TTFN.

Inchies Day: Thursday 19th August 2021. Diary, and sometimes the odd ode, that might be told?

LAST NIGHTs FARCE!

 Wednesday Evening 

I waited from 13:00hrs until just after 22:00hrs for the 4 items Amazon delivery of three trousers and a double pack of pyjama bottoms to arrive. Having been up by then for over 18 hours. Bedraggled, tired, dirty and smelly cause I dare not get a shower and miss the delivery; Oh, and fed up!

The internet going down so often at times; it was off more than on! A pig of a day, nowt going right much. 

Looked at the tracker again... and got this screen - after being told for hours that it would arrive before 10:00hrs (Lying Scumbags!)

I was doing comments on Facebook at the time, replying to comment about Virgin Media Internet, and was in a gritty, grumpy mood anyway at the time.

Minutes later... I got this:

My insides were twisting and churning; I'm afraid I swore a little, quietly but viciously. My EQ shouted at me, keep calm. It's gonna get worse! Things got worse! Then, seconds later, I got this come in...

Your Package has been Delivered?

  What the _ _ _ _!  

.After going into a stage-two panic, I had a good look around outside in case the box had been left anyway, but no! I had to look it up. I farted about trying to discover how I could talk to someone at Amazon. But I was getting all het-up and getting nowhere... I needed a wee-wee; I think that helped me to regain a limited modicum of mind control. I cannot remember how I got to it, but there was an option I eventually found to talk to a Valley Girl Robot, as mentioned by Tim Price in his last comment on the blog. It was all written, and you had to pick from a selection of options that came up, no opportunity to write anything you want to write in explanation, choose an answer sort of jobbie. I'm none the wiser now!

THURSDAY 19th AUGUST 2021

Gone midnight now, and I've still not finished the Facebooking yet: But first, I looked to see if any comments had come in, and there's one from Master of Science in Teaching (MST), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Institute of Physics (IOP), and Associate Professor of the NOSRCMA Near Ohio Red Car Monitoring Assessment (Financial Donations Accepted). And I thought I'd replied to it - But No? I believed I probably lost my comment? So I did that first, then got on with TFZer and Winwood Heights Facebooking again.

What a palava!

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

Due to Jill encouraging and helping me sort out the place ready for the expensive declutters to arrive and sort me out, there has been very little time to work on this post. So things will be a little terse and to the point today, a sort of readable shorthand. Hehehe! I thang You!

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

Having been up for a total of 28hours, thanks to the Amazon cock up and none delivery, did not help me get much sleep. Tsk! Only about 4 hours of bliss for me...

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

06:35hrs: Woke, wee-wee'd, and got some waste bags made up. Wee-wee'd again, had a facewash quickie, made more bags up, got them in the box ready to go to the finger-trapping, toe-stubbing chute room.

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

♥ Carer Jillie arrived ♥

The gal soon had the medications sorted for me. Jill kindly said she would come back later to help me with the sorting-out for an hour or so. The gal is so good to me. Bless her! ♥

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

Continued Updating

I am so drained after so little kip. It's Amazon that I can keep awake... Oh, I meant amazing! But the connection and blame for Amazon's failures caused this humour!

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

Photo From The Balcony

The new car park at the end of Chestnut Walk had even fewer cars in it. But then again, it was much later than I would usually take a photo, thanks to Amazon failing to deliver the parcel yesterday. Thanks! Then I took a sap of a van and workmen below in the Emergency Vehicles Only parking space. 

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

Health Checks Done

Then realised I'd not done the Health Checks yet - So I did them".

Gobsmacked!

Yet again, an even lower BP! Yippee!

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

Handwashing Sorted

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

Espied Ghost Clouds?

Can you see a figure in this one?

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

Checked the Amazon (Sorry To Use That Word) Tracker

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

Jillie Returned

Two hours hard labour, Hehe! Only joking. Jillie was a treasure, and she kept me going at clearing away and shredding the paperwork. She even knew when I was getting weary. The gal is a genuine, gentle, ingenious genius! Fell of good advice. We, Jillie, mostly got more clearing done in two hours than I have done for days and took some stuff away with her for the Social table and bags for the chute! And she is beautiful with it! ♥ She departed to her next client. She used her downtime to come and help me again. Bless her cotton socks! ♥

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

Hoovered Up & Took Photos

The big pile that was on the armchair has been significantly reduced! Thanks, Jill ♥.

The space behind the £300, second-hand, decrepit, c1968, rickety recliner. And the collapsable desk. (All Jills work!♥) It was practically cleared! ♥ I must try to get a photo of Nottingham's finest carer ♥.

The Steptoe & Son room was still looking horrendously messy, but that is because it was! But I could see some improvement!

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

Checked The Tracker Again

Mind you, according to the tracker, he was yesterday! But that didn't stop that man from failing to turn up! He's getting closer.

Oh, I'd better mention that this is yesterdays trousers and pyjama bottoms, it's the Tabet cloths. The clothing should, could, might possibly, perhaps be arriving tomorrow.

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

Too tired Now, to Continue

Got the meal finished off, sat down in hopes of nodding off. Realised I can't afford to in case the trews arrive, fed-up, got the stew made.

It looked fine, smelt delicious, tucked into it... Whoopsiedangleplop! Foul Tasting! Gawd know what I'd done wrong? I fear only a 2/10 for Taste-Rating this time. And that being for the peas and bread. Oh, heckithump!

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

Head Down

Trying not to fall asleep in case Amazon Trews or the Brit Marmite biscuits arrive! A task (staying awake) that was not going to be easy this, so I found some crap that might not send me to sleep on the TV to watch. Zzzz!

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

Stirred Back Into Imitation Life

I Woke Up about two hours later, still blurry-eyed, and had an argument with myself about should I get up or sod it all? 

Whoopsiedangleplop! First-Class!

Then It became evident to me that I'd fell asleep while eating some of the crap beef stew! I'm quick at noticing things like that!

Mainly through the squelching and feeling of the cold gravy, as it made rivers and streams in the folds of my stomach, as it ran down into my PPs! Which saved the recliner cover from getting wet, but Little Inchy got a soaking!

 Having to clean things up and the need of a wee-wee forced me to get up anyway. As I stumbled to the kitchenette limpingly, gently banging my right shoulder on the door frame and dropping the walking stick, the door chimes rang out...

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

Evening Carer Arriving

I'm was a little confused and not really with it, but Carer Julie, bless her, spotted this straight away. I suppose the gravy, and the stuck-on peas clinging to my belly, and stained jammie-bottoms was a clue!) 

Julie showed genuine concern and checked I was alright. ♥ At first, she thought I'd had a tumble with seeing Metal Mickey on the floor. Julie helped me sort things out mess-wise, and we got the medications taken. I hobbled with her to the door and wished her my thanks-her. She told me to forget everything and get back to sleep. Bless her!  

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

Cleaned Myself Up

By the time I'd cleared up the mess I had made, I had got new PP's on; nodding off was not on the cards. I was not sleepy at all. 

I suppose banging my knee on the cabinet corner, getting redressed and stubbing my toe on the recliner when I got back to the computer chair sort of rejuvenated me? No, that's not the word? But anyway, I don't think I could have got back to sleep.

The Thought Storms and self-recriminations were flowing again, mingled with the Amazon failures and letdowns, along with the pain of the toe-stubbing. Disgruntled, displeased with myself, irritated, annoyed, exasperated and in an insurrectionary mood!

New Car Park Checked

I placed this here for the attention of AAB: Associate of Applied Business, ASPT-APT: Associate in Physical Therapy, Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Master of Computational Finance, Master of Science in Teaching (MST), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Institute of Physics (IOP), and Associate Professor of the NOSRCMA Near Ohio Red Car Monitoring Assessment (Financial Donations Accepted). Hahaha!

Blimus! A maroon and a white car in there tonight! The regulation since opening three red vehicles were in there.

Well, would you believe it?

The Witching Hour Again?

Down Again! Absolute Crap!

Does Steve Fries know about this?

At $22m salary plus expenses, does he care? Should he care? His bosses are obviously content to let him carry on number crunching and conning them... but I don't imagine they would give a toss about customers either?

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

CorelDrawing

I started on a graphic on CorelDraw whilst hoping for the led-by, bedevilled Steve Fries, Liberty-Global Virgin Media Internet, to start again. It took a while. So irking!

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

Virgin Media Internet Still Down

Virgin Media Internet, owned and ruined by Liberty-Global not back on yet. So, I washed the green long sleeve tee-shirt in the sink.

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

Virgin Media Internet Still Down

I ointmentated the stubbed toe; well, heel it was actually.

The feet are looking fine, by the way.

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

Ah, Internet Back On

Got this blog updated and then sent the email next on to Facebooking.

Welsh: Dydd Gwener 2il Ebrill 2021

0330hrs: I woke up later than ever this morning. But then, I couldn't get to sleep last night; thought-storms were running amok! Still, it could have been worse; at least I got about three hours in with Sweet Morpheus! So, there's no moaning from your truly... yet! I was up and caught my balance almost with ease! Into the kitchenette and got the kettle on. Got the Health Checks sorted, and with some better results as well!
