Up All Night!

THURSDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER 2021

Nodded of at 03:30hrs. 04:25hrs: I woke in pain with Colin Cramps enjoying his applicationing of absolute unbearable pain in both of my legs! Naturally, it didn't bother me.

I stumbled out of the £300, second-hand bought, c1968, nauseously beige-coloured, not-working, uncomfortable, rusty, rickety, difficile, crumb-covered, tatty recliner. Caught my balance, had a weak unwilling wee-wee, and decided to get the Health Checks done, as the hopes of getting back to sleep suffered, with the continuing attention of Colin Cramps!

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

So, I Got The Health Checks Done

With some good results too!

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

06:30hrs: Fell Asleep Again

06:40hrs; had to go for a wee-wee. The end of any chances of any more kipping now! Weak, unwilling and sprinkly!

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

End Car Park Check

Black and White Minstrel show in the park this morning. The neatly parked (Haha!) red van seems to be claiming this spot for himself to park badly into?
Trapped my arm while withdrawing it from the gap. I'm so glad this didn't happen to one of the overcharging, bullyings, harassing, vetoed by Nottingham City Care as suitable to work for disabled, elderly people, declutterers and cleaners who charged me £345 for doing neither correctly. Also causing me injury via having a tumble because they had left the kitchen floor soaking wet and slippery; they had sodded off after being paid in cash as they demanded...

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

Sorting Kitchen Cupboard

 WHOOPSIEDANGLEPLOP! 

If it had not been for my changing my mind so often, taking out the things to rearrange, and getting them back in - and still not happy with the layout. Then, the shelf with the new payout was completed. I'd done the job in an hour or so... and I shouldn't have been feeling so pretty darned smug about it...

The shelf collapsed, leaving a right dirty great mess to be cleaned up, and me with a bruised toe that a bottle had fallen on! 

I abandoned my efforts, threw the stuff back in the cupboard, swore quietly but profusely,  passed wind, and made a brew of Glengettie tea while sulking!

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

The Amazon Shopper Cameth

He was soon up at the door. Dropped the bag in the door sill and was off like a shot... I think he was on a promise?

I thought I made a nifty lob of getting the parcels in a line in the hallway. Then wondered why I'd bothered doing that?

There will be a reason, but...

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

To The Kitchenette

Got them into the kitchen, and the fodder was stored away safely, and injury-free too! A welcome rarity there! I was also a smidgeon proud when I remembered resisting getting some fresh cream French Horn cakes when ordering, Oh, Yes!

How I managed to order the jam-filled doughnuts is a mystery to me. I had them with a mug of 99 tea.

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

 Accifauxpas! 

More cleaning up after the £345 Decluttering and Cleaning men. I was struggling to reach between the cooker and the cabinet to retrieve a dropped scouring pad and...

Oh, dearie me: I'm getting myself going again. Hehehe! 

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

Getting Ultra Confused Now

I honestly wasn't sure who had been and who not, what time of the day it was, morning or evening? What I was doing before my rant. What I was supposed to be doing... I decided to get something to eat and sit for a while to recover. Sleep I may discover?

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

New Microwave Utilised!

I did a reasonable job with the meal.

A simple meal, for a simpleton. It went down well, despite the drooping eyelids. It didn't take long for me to drop of into the land of Sweet Morpheous. I even recall a bit of a dream I had. I was in an office block running around being chased by a gang or declutterers and cleaners... Hehehe! I made that up! Sorry.

I was floating in the sky, birdlike, but without any flapping of wings or arms; it was incredibly mitigatory, despite my being puzzled as I soared, as to how I could be floating like this?

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

I stirred into Imitation Life

As I was grappling with Metal Mickey, to heave my elephantine bellied flobby-body up onto my feet, the evening carer crept cunningly up behind me - The poor thing was in a right state, bless her. Once again, some carer had failed to turn up for work, and she had endless extra calls to do, so not much time for a chinwag this time. I managed to drop a couple of funnies and an imitation in for her. I think she was a small iota happier when she left me. I'd given her a choice of drinkies and a packet of cream biscuits to nibble. She let me take a quick photograph of her.

Oh, it was Helen who did me.

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

Update Photo - End Car Park

Just for the devil of it!

By gum, I know how to have fun!

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

On The Computer

Grafting away and getting slower and more confused all the time.

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

The Evening Suddenly Darkened

I'd put the Canon camera on to charge, so I used my Kodak to take these pictures of what I thought was an amazing vista of clouds on view from the balcony.

An ever-changing view, as the sun was blocked and unblocked.

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

Ablutionalisationing Time

The pins and patellas were looking and now feeling a lot better than this morning? Why? Pass!

I was still having trouble finding things needed. The decluttering and cleaning failure blokes had hidden stuff so effectively. I had to try and get to the box of things they'd effectively hidden behind the wheelie-trays. Stuff in that box from the kitchen, front room and spare room?

But I had no luck with my hopes of finding the two full bottles of Comfort liquid that I told them not to take. Huh!

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

Thompsons Punjana Time

Got some potatoes ready to make the microwave-mini-meal later on and made a brew of Thompsons tea.

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

A Last Photo of the View

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

Continued Updating the Blog

It was slow work, with my confusion and weariness getting worse. It's well gone midnight already. I can't help but fear that the confusion when I get to sleep and even wake up will be worse than ever in the morning. Updating took me an hour or two to do. Ah, well!

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

Finished

Posted the blog to blogger. Facebooking.

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

Knackered!

Friday 27th August 2021: Inchies Diary, and sometimes the odd ode, that might be told?

♥ TFZer Trio - Mmm? ♥

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

Thursday Evening:

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

FRIDAY 27th AUGUST 2021

06:00hrs: I stirred into mock-life and awaited the brain to join me. What day is it? What needed doing? Anything urgent? I'm sure there is something... Ah, the decluttering, the clothes need sorting...

But first, a wee-wee was needed! Blimey, the bucket was well used last night? I added this morning's short-sharp reluctant trickle and took the NWWB (Nocturnal-Wee-Wee-Bucket) to be washed, sanitised and disinfected.

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

CBD - Hemp oil - Peptac Taken

Accifauxpa!

I took the under-tongue CBD and had a good gulp of the Peptac. The ineluctable first Accifaupas of the day was when I was dropping the hemp oil. Nicodemus' neurotransmitters failed and made my right-hand shake as I had the dropper in my mouth - I could easily have crunched on it. Haha!

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

Decluttering Prepping

I was feeling pretty perky now and made a start on clearing the clothes in the junk room. No rushing, I took my time, working at a steady pace. I even found myself singing as I went along? Some of the photos I took afterwards were a bit shaky, and Peripheral Pete and Nicodemus's neurotransmitters kept going off-line - but I thought I coped well.

It may look like a right mess, which it still is, of course, but a far less messier mess than before I started the task. Then again, I could be wrong, methinks?

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

Work-Spurt Ends!

I was trotting along, thinking how well I was coping. Then a sudden weakening came over me. Not physically or depression-wise, mentally perhaps. I just could not go on anymore with the decluttering?

I took these snaps, so many of them blurred, but I didn't notice this at the time.

The walker-guide was now filled with things to go. The comfort of having Jillie to help me out is just that, a comfort!

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

Waste Bags Made-Up and Amassed

I put them in the box, ready to go to the chute room later on.

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

Crockpot Utilised

Got the spuds in the slow-cooker. I've done well in not eating any bread nor spuds for two days. Today will be a weakening and a special treat day for me. Haha!

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

♥ Carer Jillie Arrived ♥

It is like the sun coming out when Jill gets here! A carer that really cares! She sorted the medications and asked the questions.

Of course, I got the usual telling offs. I think Jillie was impressed with my past two meals being so small. Hehe! She offered me a few words of support and advice, and we managed a laugh or two! ♥

Jill took the got-to-go bag and things with her and departed. But as with Arnie, She'll be back! Tonight! The gal had cheered me up and encouraged me; she usually does, bless her.

But her leaving leaves me smidgeon low.

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

Porcelain Throne Needed

Well, that went superbly well! Apart from some bother sorting out Little Inchies fungal lesion bleed, I don't think there was a single inimical event at all! The gigantic evacuated product took a while to flow. But I actually had a bit of success in doing the crossword, still on number 98, mind you.

When the procedure did start, it was smooth, bloodless and not hurtful at all! Great!

Oddly, to say that I didn't use any cleaner or disinfectant, the bowl of water bubbled away after the single flush needed to clear things out. I could even hear it?

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

On The Computer

With Herberts Accompanying Noise

I made a brew of Glengettie tea and started sorting out and updating this post.

I did my best on updating this blog. But it was hard, slow work again. Nicodemus and Shaking Shoulder Shirley being the main culprits. Although, to be fair to them, my own inorthography and inscience held me back somewhat too. This hour-long session was uncomfortable, annoying and frustrating.

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

End Car Park Check (Hehe!)

One maintenance van, and some residents red van, plus three either President or visitor cars. Being used a bit more now!

I could not resist the temptation to create a funny graphic on this photo - So, I did!

Here it is: Suggested Security measures to encourage residents to feel parking at the top end can be made safer:

Hahaha!

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

Belated Health Checks Done

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

Gave Up On The Internet because...

Dastardly, Mr Fries!

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

Got My Head Down

But, thanks to the indeterminacy of Sweet Morpheous, sleep did not come. It may have had something to do with a decent programme being on the TV for once. Hehehe!

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

Ablutionalisationing!

Well, this evening's wet room session has not gone as well in many months! Almost perfect!

The total of the dropsies was only around about five, all the way through. Brilliant!

Fair enough, I did give myself two toes-stubbings. But no Dizzy Dennis, zilch Neuropathic Schuhplattler dances, or bangs or knocks! Oh, and no signs of Shuddering Shoulder Shirley! Grrreat! I got the medicationalisationing done and dressed with nae bother. Worrying in a way? 

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

Waste Bags To The Chute

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

Checked on the Spuds

Nibbled one to see if they were cooked yet.

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

Washed the Jammie-bottoms

I did have a Whopsiedangleplop in doing this. I knocked some drying dishes off of the draining board, tried to catch them, and now have a bruised elbow to show off. Tsk!

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

Found Mystery Photo

I think I know where I took it, but of course, I didn't intend to. Kitchen, would you like to have a guess, please?

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

Nosh served To Eat Later.

Got the fodder on the mini-platter to eat later, after finishing this blog and then the  Facebooking. That is if I'm still awake to do it! It's getting late now...

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

Sometimes I consider Sweet Morpheus a despot!

Like today, could I get to sleep? It wasn't too hot,

I was not over-worried, at least I think not,

Nearly nodded off once, but needed the pisspot,

What chances of rest for me? Not a lot!

Oh, dear, did I leave on the tap or crockpot? 

I got up to order food, got an Iceland delivery slot,

I got up and stubbed my toe - what an idiot!

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

Fare Thee Well!

Thursday 15th July 2021: Diary, Photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, that might be told?

♥ TFZers Stage Show! ♥

Thursday 15th July 2021

03:00hrs: Woke, fell asleep again.

03:15hrs:  Woke, fell asleep again.

03:35hrs:  Woke, fell asleep again.

04:10hrs:  Woke, fell asleep again.

04:30hrs: Woke and got up, thanks to the need of an urgent SSAO (Sprinkly-Spraying-All-Over) wee-wee! Got to the NWWB (Nocturnal-Wee-Wee-Bucket) and used it. There was no PM (Pre-Micturitional) or CM (Cessational Micturitional) dribbling. But Little Inchies fungal lesion had been bleeding a bit.

I was in a bit of a daze, not in complete control. And started to do things all out of sync.

I wandered into the wet room to clean and sanitise the clean and medicate the lesion - But being as I had forgotten to take the NWWB with me, I didn't do that. Tsk!

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

Wash and Medicationalisationing

The feet were looking okayish to me.

The agony... there's no other word for it, of ointmentating Little Inchies fungal lesion was done with great reluctance, a few winces, and the odd silent 'Argh', mouthed.

Thought I'd better take the medications, not on the Carers list.

 

Peptac (Duodenal Donald was brewing up, with the odd early stabbing twinges). Phorpain gelled the knees. And took a couple of Paracetamol, oiled the ear holes, and applied some Germoloid cream. Cleaned the Wee-wee bucket. To the kitchen.

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

Got the potatoes in the crockpot.

Got the kettle on and took a photo from the kitchenette window of Chestnut Walk, the car park in front of the flats.

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

Health Checks Were Done!

I was pleased with the Blood Pressure being down to Stage One Hypertension!

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

Summoning to the Porcelain Throne
Well, that might have been a whopper-sized torpedo-shaped evacuation; but it was, without any doubt, one of the quickest ones ever! Took me by surprise. I'd no sooner got the crossword book out, and it was all over and done with!

No bleeding, no pain, and little mess, too!

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

Ah! What a Plonker!

I'd not updated yesterdays post yet! Sad, innit? So, I got on with it. Got the blog finished and checked, then sent it off to Blogger. (The Auto-reformatting changing blog site)!

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

Facebook catching up next

I got caught up with the TFZer and Woodthorpe Heights Facebook pages.

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

Made a Start on Today's Blog

I'd done about an hour, and the morning Carer Arrived. A little later than usual. It was Nichole. Obviously, someone had failed to turn up again, and things had to be rerouted to cover for the absentee or absentees. 

I was granted a little chinwag after the medications were sorted out and taken. And off she poddled hastily to her next client.

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

Window Cleaner Arrived

He got straight on with the job and cleaned the windows he could get at. If I get the Home Declutterers to come, it will mean more expense when cleaning all the windows. Hehehe! Still, I paid the man his money and wished him well on his rounds for today.

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

Glengettie Yearning Satisfied

I got the kettle on to make a brew of Glengettie tea. Then put two bags of waste into the box on top of the walker guide trolley.

Back to the kitchen and made the mug of the finest, most robust tea available to mortals. While it brewed, I took three photos of the semi-murky morning. The left, ahead and to the right.

Somehow, the clouds retain their beauty to me, even in the sunless state.

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

Went On CorelDraw

Still need Graphics Making

I spend what felt like an aeon making up just three graphics. In reality, I probably spent more time correcting errors and mistakes. Humph!

Hours later, I'd got a few graphics finished and saved to the hard drive. 

So late now, I opted to get the meal sorted.

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

Prepped & Served The Nosh!

A smidge too much on the plate again.

I'll cut down, cause it causes butane,

Overeating? I feel guilty, a right villain,

I will cut down soon I'm certain,

You see, my willpower, I can't sustain,

Not only does this confuse my brain,

My weak efforts are all in vain,

I'm getting desperate. Should I try Novocain?

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

Tried To Get Some Sleep

No chance. Sweet Morpheus is toying with me!

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

Had a Go At Updating This Blog

While I awaited the evening carer to arrive.

Made a brew and took these two photos from the balcony. The sun was blasting down. Boy, was it hot out there! Yes, it was!

Sweat, sweat, sweat!

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

Carer Ellena Arrived

19:00hrs: Soon got me sorted out. Nice gal!

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

Nightie Night

I'm going on a search for sleep.

Full of hopes of nodding off...

I'm Lying!
