SATURDAY 16th OCTOBER 2021

07:00hrs: Late stirring due to the working so late into the morning, until 03:00hrs. The usual wee-wee was needed, but it was a disappointing one. Unwilling weak and dribbly, also I had both pre and after leakages. So went to get the PPs changed and washed up.

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

Glengettie Brew

I enjoyed a mug of tea, got the waste bags made up, and put them on the box near the door in the hallway.

Well, I would; that's where the door is. Hahaha!

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

Quilt Moved

Last night, I washed the heavy quilt and put it in the wet room over the sock-glide and shower seat to dry. Then moved it into the spare room and put it over the stand-up airer. It was still dripping wet at both of the ends? I have to remember to keep nipping in and moving it about on the tubes, methinks.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was Kara, in her Hells Angel leather jacket. It looked in super condition and suited her. Don't blame her for wearing it either; Gawd, it was so very cold out there this morning. She helped me check the door chime first thing while she did the paperwork cause Kara said she'd pressed it, and nothing happened... the stomach churned within! Not again, I only got it installed yesterday? But it seemed to work when I tried it. Phew! Kara sorted the medications, and we had a chat.

I went into the kitchen; I can't remember what for now - but I do recall tripping over Metal Mickey and nearly going over! Kara came to retrieve Metal Mickey for me. Stubbed Toe! Nibbles were offered and taken, and Kara took two of the three refuse bags to the waste chute for me on her way out.♥ I think she was fooled by my using a black bag this morning, with the two white ones; usually, they are all white. Hehehe!

Compterisationing

I got this template made up and went on Facebook. No comments had come in on Blogger. Had a look at the condition of the feet. Not too bad?

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

Made A Mug Of Glengettie

Took a photo of the morning clouds.

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

Health Checks Done

Better late than never. Tsk!

Another great set of figures today!

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

Over the next hour - eight!

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

Really Got Distracted!

I was going to do a little Ditty-Ode to put on here. That was the original plan; this was about 09:30hrs or so.

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

Spike Milligan Mode

So I copied it and made another post just of the Ode. And carried on for... wait for it... five hours until it was finished! I just got carried away once I started; the Ode got longer and longer.

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

Tribulations During Odeing!

During the five hours of creating the Ode, crap, pathetic, Liberty Global Virgin Internet went down 9, yes, Nine times!

Clunking Tap-tapping events 11.

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

Finally, I Posted Off the Ode.

I really got carried away with this poem. Which after reading it, I wondered if I should have bothered?

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

Started this diary going

Two hours later - five more failures for the multi-million dollars a year salaried CEO, Mike (Futile) Fries, net!

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

It Is Now 15:30hrs!

Went on the local email mag to see if anything worth mentioning was on it.

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

Beans and Bacon!

Sounds good to me. I'll get it cooked up then... Oh, no more internet failures or Herberts since the last report!!!

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

Tasty!

Well, the fodder was okay.

Must have been out - he made up for it with drilling noises for a while.

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

Evening Care Arrived!

Valerie, it was. Soon got me sorted out with the medications.

Valerie On Leaving!

Valerie found a letter that had been delivered, and she handed it to me.♥

My EQ told me it was not good news... I cowardly left it unopened to read in the morning. I just know I'm not going to like the contents, whatever they are! My EQ assured me of that! 

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

Off To Sleep In No time!

Boy, I must have needed it.

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

Inchies Day: Saturday 2nd October 2021

♥ Strawberry Sundae for me, please, Nancy? ♥

♥ Lisa, Bill & Gerry - Socialisationing! ♥

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

SATURDAY 2nd OCTOBER 2021

Because I was well-drained very early yesterday, with the hobble out and aches and pains, I got my head down early last night. Thus, this morning...

I was up at 01:00hrs: (I know, but what can yer do?) No wee-wees were required. I got on intending to get on with the computer blogging catch-up duties.

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

First, A Mug of Punjana!

The flat felt really cold? I opted to get the Health Checks done first.

Well, Crapsticks! BP was up yet again!

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

Blog Prepping

I did five hours on the computer, with slowly increasing needs for a wee-wee throughout this session.

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

Break for a Glengettie time!

I noticed that, to my surprise, the wristwatch was working again?

I put the watch to roughly the right time last afternoon. And blow-me, it was still going? So, I put it on... hello, Throne time...

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

Porcelain Throne

A smidgeon was reluctant to start at first, but when it began, the oh, so chaotic evacuation was over in a minute. Left a heck of a mess to clean up, mind.

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

Saturday Blog Finished

It took me an hour or so. Got it posted to Blogger, Emailed the link, and got on with making a template for this one.

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

Porcelain Throne Mark Two!

I was taking the gone cold mug of tea to the kitchen when the need for the Throne arose - swiftly followed by a panic attack! Dropped the cup and hastened ASAP to the wet room! I felt more than hear the gurgling from the innards.

A right kerfuffle getting through the wet room door, I think I accrued some more bruises on the shoulder and arm getting in.

Tore a button off of the trews in my haste to get the pants down in time...

I could sense the evacuation creeping out and doing it faster!

Splush, splash, splish, splodge... trickling noises, and the bowl was soon well filled - but I made it in time! 

I was sat-sitting there, and a second-round in virtual liquid form arrived...

The mess made was atrocious. I sat a little longer without getting up, just in case sneak attack number three arrived, luckily it didn't. What a corroboree! Cleaning next...

I was so glad I made it in time! Ten minutes later, I'd done the cleaning up of the stinking, gooey mess and went to see if the mug had broken when I dropped it. Bit of good luck there; I couldn't see any breakage or cracks in the China mug that Jenny kindly gave me. Phew!

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

Started On This Template

The wee-weeing were still getting more frequent. Five minutes after this, I had another, then not a one for over two hours? Confusing innit?

Put the kettle on, and realised it was gone 08:00hrs, and no carer had called? Ah, but it is Saturday! A day, known for much absenteeism within the ranks of the Caring Industry. I've had two non-shows, eight late calls since August this year to date.

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

Onto Facebooking

That didn't last long. It felt like anything, and everything was trying to muck things up for me! Then, Meridian Care rang me. My Carer in wanting to get inside. I recommended that she press my flat number on the panel on the wall. The whoever it was that was ringing rang the Carer. Couldn't hear the intercom go off; I nipped out to see if anyone was coming up in a lift, nope.

Back to the flat and phoned them, suggesting that mayhaps the Carer was in the wrong block of flats. Told her it was the end one and gave her the names of each block. She phoned the Carer... Costing me a fortune all these calls... The Carer is on her way to the front door now! (She'd been in Winchester Court) 

So, I got the dressing gown and shoes on and went down to the front lobby. The gal was just coming in.

I thought I recognised her pretty face...

When we got up to the flat, chatting en route, she said she remembers now; she's been once before. Solange is her name.

Got the medications sorted out, and off she went. Poor thing is miles behind with her calls. Bade her farewell and thanked her.

Back To Facebooking

Boggleknackfunks!

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

Internet Back On

Fourth go at Facebooking. Fed-up with this! Still, the wee-wees are increasing now I've had the belated Furesomide.

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

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

LIberty-Global AGAIN!

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

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

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

Deliveries Arrived

One After 'tother

Aha, Amazon...

A box within the box... that be cans of Chinese Water Chestnuts

Then the Postman Arrived. With the cheap wristwatch from Amazon and the Warfarin DVT INR Blood Results

Boxes opened, the rubbish collated into bags and got some fodder sorted.

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

Fodder Prepped & Consumed!

Too tired to make owt fancy. I got the potatoes, microwaved two beefburgers and cheese, and ate them as fillings for the sourdough bread with tomatoes. BBQ sauce added. Flavour Rating: 8.8/10. Lip-smackingly Good!

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

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

Settled in the Recliner

Zzzz!

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

Woke Up in Need of a Wee-Wee!

Had a Marathon session, during which I thought I must have got up while sleeping and used the Wee-wee Bucket several times; it was so full?

Gave it a good cleaning and sanitising, put the kettle on, and started to fill the bucket again? What?

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

Checked The Deliveries

The new watch, spare straps, and strap fitted to the broken one on an old watch. (The one that yesterday mysteriously started working again).

I'd gone from having no working wristwatches; to three in a day. Hahaha! 

All three are nice and clear to read. Not that I can when Saccades is playing up, but at all other times, the three of them cost less than £18... mind you, I've had to get batteries and straps as well. I got a pack of six cheapo push through replacement straps today as well. The old watch on the wrist had one on it.

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

Washed the Shirt

I whipped off the shirt and got it washed, rinsed, rung and hung above the sink to drip dry. Had another wee-wee.

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

Evening Caller Came

It was Valerie tonight. She kept getting calls on her mobile as she sorted the medications out, and I finished clearing up in the kitchen. I wondered if someone else had cried off of work, and Valerie was being asked to cover for them?

I was moderately in with-it mode after the sleep, so I remembered to check to see if the Warfarin dosages were the same as on the INR sheet. Val said they were. I bade the gal farwell. Had another wee-wee?

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

Computer Back On

Surprisingly

Got this blog updated. Emailed the link and went on Facebooking...

I got excited too soon!

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

Evening All!

Wednesday 22nd September 2021: Inchies Day, and sometimes the odd ode that might get slipped in!

♥ TFZers Visiting...Where? ♥

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

Tuesday Night

Early Evening Sky Views

Hazy, yet colourful?

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

WEDNESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2021

04:00hrs: Wee-wee, dressed, tea, and summoned to the Porcelain Throne.

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

Porcelain Throne - Eugh!

One heck of a messy, gooey job! The evacuation took a minute at most; the cleaning up, and convincing the torpedo to go down to the sewers afterwards, took me at least half an hours worth of effort. Humph!

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

A smidge down today on the Blood Pressure stakes. Happy with these figures!

The urine looked dodgy, perhaps something to do with the gallons of fluids still lurking in the feet? Hahaha!

Seriously though, the feet were looking betterer than yesterday by a mile.

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

Spent Hours Blog Updating

Many wee-wees later, I took a break, made a brew of Thompsons Punjana tea, and tried to take a decent photo of the early morning moon still up there in the sky.

My efforts were only reasonable.

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

Porcelain Throne Visit No.2

A duplicate of the first visit, but this time I had, even more bother getting things to go down the hole. So's to speak!.

.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was second-time caller Fatua. Not a gossiper by any means. But she put up with my chatting a little this time. Hahaha! Bless her!

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

On with the blogging again.

It was a pestiferous, frustratingly long, slow hard job today. The nerve ends were forever dying off and coming back online, which ensured that this session was the most annoying one ever! What I typed should have taken an hour at most, but it ended up costing me three hours at least... the writing errors got better... or I should say worse...

Liberty-Global Virgin Down Again!

How can this number-cruncher of a CEO get paid £22m salary plus expenses, and he is so incompetent he can't ever keep a signal to Nottingham for a whole day. And this after he paid $23.3billion to buy and destroy Virgin Media? Credit to him though, he's misledwhoever pays him!

Unglefrogwonglingisations! Arglebonkangony! Prittleworthytwerp, and Crap!

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

Made a Mug of Glengettie

Had a wee-wee, first of course. And notice how the fog had fallen so quickly.

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

Passed Hour: Three

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

Looked Up Local Covid Figures

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

Must Get Some Graphics Done

Onto CorelDrawing. Fingers crossed that Nicodemus's neurotransmitters and number-cruncher Mke Fries of Liberty-Global, both allow me to get on with it. Gits!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Food Time!

Pimto beans in BBQ and Black Bean sauce. Beefburgers and potatoes. It should have been a decent score, but I let myself down with undercooked potatoes, so 6/10.

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

Passed Hour: Two

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

Old Mans Nap

About two hours worth. The dream was worth it though... Hehehe! I was doing things that I haven't for years, and enjoying it to; it reminded me of some ladies I used to know! Then dreamed out various vehicles I have driven. It was like snippets of things I did over the years in specific vehicles?

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

Passed Hour: Five

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

Woke...

Aching all over! (but contentedly). Took the waste bags to the chute. Then onto the Computer, the Evening Carer may be due soon, or they may be late, Que Sera, Sera!

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

CorelDrawing

Must try to get more graphics done.

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

Passed Hour: Only three

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

Evening Carer

Valerie came to do me. She seemed withdrawn somehow? I thanked her again for bringing me the toothpaste.

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

Post Updated

Posted to Blogger - Emailed link - Had a wee-wee, went on Facebooking.

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

I'd like for greed to be overthrown,

But I do not write in a confident tone,

Would it help if I went on methadone?

To fretting over nothing, seems I am prone,

I need to find a guide, or cicerone,

Someone to show me how to use the phone,

Mostly, I wish I wasn't always home alone....

I know, I'll have an ice-cream cone!
