Thursday 23rd September 2021: Inchies Day, and sometimes the odd ode that might get slipped in!

♥ What's All This Then? ♥

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

THURSDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2021

05:15hrs: I was in a fuzzy minded-mood. Concentrating was hard, trying to keep to one subject to work out the problem - But the Thought Storms were rampant. It took me a  while to partially clear the fog; needing a wee-wee helped, I think. But the earlier worries and things IU knew needed tackling just dissipated as I wee'd away, and I could not claw them back from my memory.

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

Pottering Around!

I was rambling around without any absolute control or structure to my thoughts. This was the oddest sensation, and it did worry me a bit in the first instance.

I found myself making up waste bags and placed them near the door to go to the chute later on, after 08:00hrs.

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

Mug of Tea - Computer On

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

Health Checks

Blood Pressure peaked a little.

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

Ablutionalisationing!

A bloody affair this morning, in more ways than one, three, I fear. 

Daktacort®

Agonydangles! Dangnableisations! and Cragnanglingeckers! That was painful!

Only the second time I've used the Morrison 3-bladed razors. Got more cuts and nicks than I've ever had shaving!

I think the swollen feet, might be getting worse instead of better now. Oh, heck!

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

Hand-washed the Shirt

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

Porcelain Throne Visited

Great balls of Fire!

More bleeding again, Harold's Haemorrhoids this time. Applying the Germoloids ointment was a relieving pleasure!  

The evacuation was, well-messy. Tsk!

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was Sobia. Nearly gave me a heart attack, she did. Hahaha! I was on the computer nose to the screen... As she crept up right behind me, and in a loud voice, said something like, "Are you alright!" Which I wasn't! She returned to a whispering mode for the rest of the visit. So it was guesswork. It seems I'm now out of Codeine tablets altogether!

Not much of a communicator, so no laughs or nattering was permitted.

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

I Am Seriously Worried

About the prescription situation again, running out of Codeine tablets? Getting no help from anyone in ringing the chemist and Doctors to book my flu jab.

But since the visit of the declutterers, I cannot find the folder with the telephone numbers in it? I need help! The farcical situation with having no IRN Warfarin blood tests for months now needs someone to ring them for me to find out what's going on. 

Carer Jill would have helped me.

I rang Warden Deana to get a number for Natalie, in charge of the Carers on site.

But the number is not available. I could ring their contact number, but get their head office with the snotty bloke, and have to explain everything in detail to him. He gets irritated with my stuttering. And probably hates his job and me as well. Deana said she'd ring Natalie for me and ask her to contact me.

The pain from having no Codeines this morning has come at the wrong time for me. The feet are swelling up again, giving me pain.

Arthur Itis has kicked off. Phorpain on its own is not strong enough.

Anne Gyna is just beginning to stab at me as I write this. Not to mention the toothache!

I do need the appointment making!

I do need the prescriptions sorting out!

I desperately need help with the INR Warfarin Anti-Coagulation DVT people being contacted to find out why no blood tests for months?

I'm in pain, more than usual, and not a very happy laddie!

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

Hoping To Hear From Natalie

And that she can help me out - A busy gal, I know, but I am suffering!

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

Bacon Sarnie Making

But didn't get far with it. I nearly got the streaky bacon on the microwave wotsit...

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

Natalie Came in

Very patient with me and kind about things. Natalie listened to all my problems with the Warfarin, Prescriptions, Doctors appointment making etc., bless her. Said she would investigate for me. And if the Carrington Pharmacy cannot deliver, she would change it to the 24hr chemist instead. Fair enough with me! Thanks, Natalie ♥

 We did a Meridian customer survey.Then off she popped, telling me not to worry. Which is a little like telling a politician to be honest - 'No Chance!' Hehehe!

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

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

Back To The Bacon Sarnie Making

A 'Baconites' Delight!

Taste Rating 8.4/10!

Photo Report - End Car Park

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

Natalie Returned ♥

-----

Natalie had been very busy for me, again. Arranged an INR DVT Warfarin blood test at the Doctors surgery, for Tuesday 5th October @ 09:45hrs, at Sherington Park. I've already gone three months without a blood test - And why didn't someone tell me they were no longer visiting to take blood, and I have to travel to the Doctors surgery for a test that no one had given me a date for anyway? So, it will be about 17 weeks of worrying, before I can get tested... if I live that long, that is.

-----

Natalie also arranged the flu jab for Monday 25th October @ 16:45hrs. In five weeks time!

-----

Natalie had also called the Pharmacy, who say they can deliver, but not this months until Saturday, the only day they deliver. Arranged for a Carer to pick these ones up for me.

Feeling much better now! ♥

Updated the Calendar.

Evening Carer Arrived

It was Helen. She's bought the prescriptions she'd collected for me, bless her.

I remembered to put the new ones, all bar the Codeines, into the Prescription drawer.

Accifaupas

I was having troubles with Neuropathic Pete losing sense of touch and shaking a bit, and dropped the bag of prescription medications on the floor - The heavy bottle of Peptac his my little toe on the left foot. Yey amazingly there was no bruise or marks came up on it? This is a photo I took of it after Helen had left?

The bloating was still present, and making walking difficult. Judging by this snao, the Peptac may have bounced onto the top of the right foot?Hey-Ho! The odd almost round markings that were don't he right foot, had disappeared completely now?

Odd, or what?

Helen got the medications sorted for me, I dropped the bottle cap, and missed my mouth with one of the tablets?

It's going bonkers tonight?.

I thanked the gal, and offered her a choice of plonk or nibble. She wisely chose the plonk. Hahaha! ♥ I asked her if she'd take the two small bags of waste to the chute for me on her way out, she kindly obliged me. ♥

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

Checked the Fridge

I was low on milk, and desperate for bread, so I made an Iceland order. Iordered some Skinny Whips, and Cadburys Mini Rolls, Cadbury Twirl Chocolate Bars, Crawford's Custard Creams 300g, all individually wrapped, to use as Carers and Wardens nibbles. Ready Baked Pork Sausages, Vale of Mowbray 4 Mini Pork & Pickle Pies, Mini Babybel Original Cheese Snacks 6 x 20g on offer, for Josies Sunday meal tray. Cravendale Filtered Fresh Whole Milk. Solved the bread shortage, by ordering a Warburtons Soft Round Milk Roll, Thins Soft Brown Sliced, and a Warburtons 6 Soft Sliced Wholemeal Rolls. Of course, I'm not anticipating having them all delivered. I also got some more TidyZ 100 X-tra .15l, Strong Tie Handles Pedal Bin Liners.

Porcelain Throne Demand Answered!

Schpugglebogs, was this a messy, over-pungeant affair!

Decided to wash the shirt in the sink.

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

The New Shirt Washed

Washed the shirt I'd been wearing. And I could not believe the muck that came out of it? I'n only put it on late as well, about eight hours or so ago, where did it all come from?

Twit!

Realised then, that with it being a new cheapo shirt, it was the colour coming out that had me fooled. Oh, I did fell a nitwit!

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

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

Back to the Computer - Accifauxpa!

As I approached the swivel chair to get seated, I trod on something small, but rock hard!

Astounding! I used the picker-upperer to retrieve... the pain-giver, a pod pea!

Oh, the agony! Hehehe! I took it in the kitchen to take as good aphoto of it as could manage. Used the Canon, on Macro, assuming that was theright thing to do to get a close-up shot, well two photos actually. 

But, as usual, I got sidetracked so easily, when I saw some smoke through the kitchen window. Took a snap of that first.

I wonder what the white dashes in the frame were caused by? Beats me? Back to the pea, and its been months since I had any fresh pod peas in the place...

The escaped earlier, culprit!

Photo to show size of the escapee.

The most amazing thing; I dropped the pea, and could I find it again? No!

It may be an old pea,

But as you can see,

Again it's escaped from me!

Fulfilling its desire to be free...

I'll tread shoeless on it again, I decree!

Hehehe!

Updated this Blog

Posted it off to Blogger. Sent the Emial link. And went on Faceboking catch-up.

By Jimminee, it's been a long, odd day!

Wednesday 8th September 2021: Inchies Day, and sometimes the odd ode that might slip in!

♥ TFZers in the Kitchen? ♥

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

Tuesday Evening


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

WEDNESDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2021

06:10hrs: Consciousness was reinstituted, and my first thoughts were shared with Teddy & Koala (Above). They didn't make any comments. But it made me feel better, pretending someone was with me.

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

Up & At Them...

With a perkiness, not seen for a while, I abandoned the warmth of the second-hand, £300, c1968, overwhelmingly-sickeningly beige coloured, tatty, uncomfortable, wobbly-recliner, with fantastic ease? I took a weak, unwilling wee-wee.

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

Tended to the Health Checks. Not very good again today, though.

The pulse was racing away. I tried again on the new sphygmomanometer, thinking this reading may be wrong or the machine faulty? The SYS was still 164, but the DIA was down to 65, and the pulse was surprisingly even higher at 105! So I made the graph using the first figures.

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

ACCIFAUXPAS!

Off to the kitchen, to find I had left the hot water tap running and it obviously it was running out cold! Self Hatred & Disgust flowed, bile in the tummy!

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

WHOOPSIEDANGLEPLOP

I opened a can of peas for use later, and Nicodemus's neurotransmitters failed as I was draining the juice. The peas fell into the sink! The bowl onto the floor, and I knocked the strainer off the counter!

Not another lousy day coming?

Cleaned things up. The hardest bit was getting the peas from the sink; as soon as I touched them, they disintegrated? A heck of a job! Fortunately, I'd got the drain filter over the plughole, so I prevented any peas going down that might have blocked the waste pipe. (Phew!) 

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

Pottered About

I made a brew of Glengettie tea. Got the spuds ready for cooking later.

Made up some waste bags, put them n the box near the door.

Then, the door chimes chimed...

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was Carer Elena. The one with the eyes that could easily melt a bloke!

Elena was in a caring mood, bless her. Got the medications sorted, and we had a mini-gossip and managed a smile or two. Gave her a nibble as she left. She even took the bags to the chute for me on her way out. Bless her cotton socks ♥.

Spent Hours Blogging

I had to make the template first, then started creating this post.

Slow, tedious work, due mainly to Nicodemus's neurotransmitters. They were missing so often, I very nearly dropped the mug of tea twice; and did drop the pencil several times, even knocked the pad and camera off of the top!

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

Mused at the Emagazine.

To see if anything happening was worth putting on here. During this procedure, I suffered four 'Herberts'!

Covid-19 Latest for Nottingham

Numbers down on the previous week. But still enough numbers of new cases, not to take sensible precautions?

The rest was all crimes, stabbings, burglaries, Con-Men (That reminded me of the declutterers I used!), missing persons, drink-drug drivers and other such dour happenings from Nottingham.

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

Made Template In Advance

Created for tomorrow. For me, to try to get ahead a little for once.

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

Called To Porcelain Throne

Utter failure! Solid as a rock! Harder than Concrete! I sat sitting there, expecting my rear end to be spit open, such was the pressure... But nothing moved, not even any wind escaping! More Dioctyl® needed, methinks? I spent so long in the wet room, I got one more solution to crossword 100, not finished it, of course. Then I moved on to puzzle 101, and even got some clues solved on that one!

Smug-Mode-Engaged!

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

Back To Template

Got it done finally. Getting well into the afternoon now. An hour or two to go before the Amazon order, being delivered by DPD, arrival hour starts.

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

Stopped for a Mug of Glengettie

Took a snap of the end car park.

Luckily, I managed to get all of the vehicles parked there in the shot. Hehe!

Got a decent shot of East Sherwood.

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

Back to Blogging

No, Sorry - Food Instead!

Microwave sausage muffin, Jenny supplied gorgeous home-grown tomatoes and a few potatoes. Followed by a lemon mousse. Very nice and tasty it was, too!

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

Ablutionalisationing

I was Gobsmacked!

No cut gums or teeth - One... I repeat, ONE teeny-weenie cut shaving! No toe-stubbing, no Dizzy Dennis, Shaking Shaun, visits. And I didn't walk into anything, bang owt, or topple over... What a Session!

SMUG-Mode-Adopted!

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

New Braces Arrived

The chap was soon up at the door. He checked on my name, date of birth and took a photo. I got light but big-box onto the recliner and took these snaps...

When I got the parcel opened, the two pairs of braces in the white bags were dwarfed by the packaging!


Got the cardboard and paper to the waste chute, and I got it down out of the way.

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

Unfortunately...

I gave myself a self-inflicted toe-stubbing of superior quality when leaving the room. It hit my own foot with the walking stick, known to me as Wooden-William.

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

Evening Care Arrived Nice & Early

It was Valerie. The gal seemed under some pressure tonight somehow. Shame! Bless her, I tried to perk her up, but I think I failed rather miserably this time.

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

UPdated this blog

I thought I could see something on the carpet near the waste bin as I was doing this. Thinking it had to be waste from the box rubbish, I got the picker-upperer, and I tried to gather it...

It refused to be collected? Haha! Moments later, I realised what it was. I can be quick-witted at times, you know...

It was the ebbing sunshine, going through the holes in the basket, onto the floor!

I did feel a fool. Well, a mutton-head, twerp, nincompoop, schmuck, and or gudgeon as well, like. I rather think that pillock would perhaps be the most condign word to describe my asininity? Take your pick.

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

Amazing Cloudy Sunset

Moody?

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

Got this Blog updated

Posted it off to Blogger for them to rearrange my formatting before publishing.

I'll add whatever else befalls me in tomorrow's Inchies Day...

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

The Herberts!

Oh, I'd nearly forgotten. I've been keeping track of the Herbert's on the notepad all day. I've kept a record of how many each hour (Roughly). Here they are:

I admit to having arithmophobia. But, using the two sheets of notes (and the computer calculator), I reckon I've only had to contend with 41 Herberts today! Mind you give me time, it can be increased late at night sometimes...
