FRIDAY 30th JULY 2021

05:00hrs: After four solid hours of waking and falling asleep again, the need of a wee-wee forced me into physical action.

I utilised the nocturnal emergency bucket and painfully trickled a few squirts of amber coloured wee-wee.

Thus, an eerie, rare, industrious mood came over me; there was no stopping then... First, I got the Health Checks tended to - and with some great results, yet again!

Bodaciously Good Returns

Just out of the red and into the amber. Yet another brilliant set of figures! Well, the urine results might be a bit dodgy, I suppose.

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

Whoopsiedangleplop Discovered!

I found some photos from yesterday that I had managed to miss off of the blog. These things can happen to anyone... but usually me. Hehe!

Here they are with what I can remember of each.

The evening view from the balcony, I think.

Definitely from the balcony this one. The progress of the end car park, impressive!.

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

Ablutions Next

Well, for a stand-up session without a shower, it went pretty well. A few of the normal dropsies.

Also, a few minor nicks shaving.

 

The teeth cleaning was smoothly done; without Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters interfering. 

The hands, feet and legs were looking extremely cadaveric and pale?

The medicalisationing was not so good!

Little Inchies fungal lesion medicationing was the usual agony! But it calmed down later.

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

Kettle On... Handwashing Done

Made a belated mug of Thompsons Punjana. The dank morning turned to a bit of rain, and I decided to get the shirt washed.

I gave the Pakistani made green Cedar Wood Hollow-out Round Neck Acrylic Sweater. Sounds posh, dunnit? Hahaha!

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

Finally, I Made Another Brew

Made sure I drank this Glengettie cuppa as I started the Computer going.

No idea how long the computer hard drive has left before it fails. Grunglestomps!

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

Morning Carer Valerie

My mod brightened as soon as I heard her voice behind me as she came in ♥.

Got the medications sorted professionally, then we had a little natter. Valerie gave me help on the CBD and offered me even more assistance and help on the shower curtain rail problem. Bless Her! ♥

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

CorelDrawing for Graphics

Took me hours, but I got three done, one with Lisa and Billum to use. Herbert was keeping me company now and then.

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

Social Services Rang

Neelah rang from the Social Services. I got in stuttering nervousness as she told me that the cost would be £335 for the flat decoking and clearance fee. I made a mess of trying to explain things, and Neelah was, I think, disappointed with me.., will, I thought so anyway, in not making a decision. I said a friend had spoken with me, and I felt I needed to listen before making my decision. Neelah convinced me it would be a good idea to take the job on, as it would be all over in one go! Which has its benefits! I said I still need to talk to Valerie. The head was in a muddle... Neelah is ringing me back on Tuesday, I think. Messy, with my indecsioning!  I suppose the thought of it all being over quickly in one go... but I don't know. They will take the chair away, so I'll have room for a table.

Duodenal Donald has started to kick off.

Checked the Car Park Progress

The first photograph was taken early morning.

The second a few hours later.

The third one is below, at 14:00hrs.

Tarmacademing in full swing. The rains stopped too. Thank you to Nottingham City Homes!

Waste Bags Made-Up to the Chute

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

Got some nosh prepped

Took a snap of the progress on the car park surfacing in Chestnut Walk.

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

Head Down for a Kip

Woken up by the door chime.

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

It Was Carer Valerie ♥

Soon got the medications sorted, questions answered, and we had a short but encouraging gossip. Valerie offered to help with the shower curtains at the weekend. Bless Her! ♥

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

Last Photo of the Car Park

Almost finished now, just a little corner bit to finish off (I think). All the lads had gone now.

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

Finished Updating

Posted it off to Blogger, Facebooked, Comments and started template for Saturday.

Thursday 29th July 2021

05:30hrs: The mind woke along with the body, but the memory didn't want to know today. Lots of Memory blanks, finding a few photos that I can't recall taking helped a bit.

I think; I wee-weed - took a stand up wash and shave, cleaned the teeth, put a sort and trousers on, and expired the wet room, with a tiny bruise on the head; found this photo.

(You'll have to look closely to find it!)

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

Did The Health Checks

Made the above graphic and found last nights photograph of the meal.

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

The Memory Returns a Smidge

Took some photos of the car park progress

Looking good, we'll soon have extra parking for the nurses and carers, I hope.

Done & Posted Blog

Facebooking, no comments had come in yet. Emailed the link, I think.

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

Started This Template

Later, the door chimes sounded. I investigated!

How lovely and caring! There on the floor, was some tomatoes, red and yellow for me! ♥ I assumed it was from Jenny, bless her. I must ring and thank her for this delicious looking donation.

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

Things got very hectic around 08:30hrs, so there will only be a few short notes of some events.

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

The landline burst forth and flashed. 

Someone was coming later, a 'John', to 'Price-up' the De-Cluttering costs for me. Oh, dear! Thanked her and took the waste bags to the chute. It was Neelah from the Social Services.

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

♥I rang Jenny to thank her kindly♥

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

Perused the YourArea Newsletter

Came across a mystery photo while doing this

Looks like my hand, I think... hope! Haha!

Back to the searching if anything of mentionability was in the magazine.

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

Local News

No, That's 222 New Cases a Day!

The positive news you've just read about Nottingham may likely encourage you to visit. I can send you some leaflets if you like? Hehe!

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

Waiting now for 'John' to arrive

I'll have a bash at doing an Ode, methinks.

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

An Ode To Hopes

My hopes are scattered within my brain,

They can be inaccessible; that's a bit of a bane,

But, I keep trying, again and again,

Perhaps, if I tried some cocaine?

They took me off of the novocaine,

Although it rid me of Brenda, my back pain?

It didn't stop me weeing and leaving a stain?

Would weed ease my mental strain?

Would MDMA make me less lexiphane?

Could Hashish, my ulcer-stabbing constrain?

Why am I waffling on about pain?

Mental stuff, someone said try sugarcane... 

In no time, two stones I did gain!

I tried to lose it, but it was all in vain,

From sugar and salt, I did abstain!

I tried CBD; it was Himalayan,

I eat bread still, but only the whole grain,

What I was doing wrong was uncertain,

Perhaps, I face the final curtain?

Fair enough, I know I'm a peabrain,

And I am a commoner, a plebian,

Definitely concentration, I can't maintain,

It's my wondering scatterbrain,

Memories, logicality, are hard to retain,

It's best from hoping; I just refrain!

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

Getting LAte Now - for me!

Hope that the 'John' from the social services doesn't arrive too late. I fear the costing figure he'll come up with - but it's got to be done, no matter! There'll be no chance of my taking anything in. if he arrives late in the day. I have a job sometimes remembering what the evening carers visit involved or what took place. Oh, dearie me!

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

Social Services Provider John Arrived

02:50hrs approx. John took command and had a look around. He decided what needed doing and will send the costings to Social Services, and they will get in touch. 

This is going to cost me!

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

Got the nosh Sorted

What a feast!

Potatoes cooked with Worcester Sauce and chilli seasonings, two mini pork and pickle pies, Home Grown tomatoes red and yellow (Supplied by Jenny, thanks to my Angel!), garden peas and desserts. Best for a while!

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

Head Down, an hours Kip

Updating this Blog

Woke, and on the Computer. Looked at Facebook, a comment had come in from Tim and updated this post for a bit.

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

Evening Carer Elena Arrived

After sorting the medications, Elena granted me permission to take her photo.

Nice, what?

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

Finish the Blog

Posted it to Blogger. Well, they like to change the formatting for me, font sizes, colours and alignment each time I post one. Gits!

Wednesday 28th July 2021: Diary, Photographicalisations, and maybe the odd ode, that might be told?

TFZer Now Doing Acting? Haha!

Wednesday 28th July 2021 Evening...

Bacon and beans for a nosh. Liquid smoke, passata and chilli were added as seasonings.

8.9/10 for flavour.

Evening View - Still Blue!

Comfort Nibble

When I opened the cover to the lolly, I thought it might have been a Covid-19 bug? Hahaha!

Wednesday 28th July 2021: Diary

06:00hrs: Slowly, I stirred back into pretend-life, somewhat reluctantly, and waited for the brain to follow me, which it did. I felt so tired, and yet, I'd had over six hours kipping? A marathon for me. And yet I still felt heavy eye-lidded?

The need of a wee-wee arose, so I forced my wobbly, gross-bellied body out of the chair and to the wee-wee bucket. Short, sharp shock, all done! Had a wash.

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

Potatoes in the crockpot

Seasoned with a drop of liquid smoke and some sweet chilli flavouring.

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

Health Checks Completed

FIRST TIME EVER

Blood Pressure

IN THE GREEN!

Fan-Flipping-Tastic!

Haha! I'm not going to get too excited. Looking back at how changeable the BP results have been, I allowed myself a small Smug-Mode moment, with this being the lowest-ever recorded.

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

Morning Carer Arrived

It was Sam(antha) who came. She soon got me done, and we had a little chinwag, which, as you know, means me doing most of the talking. Hehehe! But she did get the odd word in!

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

Blogger Comments

I had three today, from Tim, Lisa and Bill. Replied to them and went to make a brew of Thompsons Pujana tea. Nice and strong.

I heard some noises from outside and went into Sherlock Holmesian Mode to investigate.

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

Balcony Visited

I had a look at the end car park constructions. Espied two chaps doing what looked like an assessment of the progress made.

I zoomed in on the workmen.

Thus, in the first close-up photographic effort, I cut off the chaps legs. Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters started to play up simultaneously as Shuddering Shoulder Shirley started shaking, doing her best to dislodge my scapula! Tried again...

I still managed to cut of their feet this time. One of the lads was on his mobile. I imagine consulting with the maintenance department of Nottingham City Homes - or placing an each-way bet with his bookie on Snow Lantern in the three o'clock Sussex Stakes at 9/2? Not a good choice!

Ah, he must have been talking to the NCH Maintenance division cause a minute later, a Nottingham City Homes van arrived. Hehehe!

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

Back to the computer

And the now not-so-hot mug of Thompsons Punjana. Ah, well!

Got the template made up, and I started on this blog. Nicodemus seems a little eager to bother me now. But he's been fair to me for a day.

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

Bugger It Feeling groggy!

SAt down and tried to read a book, but the small print and Saccades Sandra put an end to that! Turned on the goggle-box, nodded off for half an hour or so, and rose for a wee-wee. Now there's a thing, I've just realised how few I've had?

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

Composed the Ode Below

Ode To The Day - So Far

A short but successful somnambulance,

But, the darkness creeps back, no avoidance,

Anne Gyna twinging with her painful petulance,

Duodenal Donald joined in, with perseverance,

Blank and dizzy spells tested my forbearance,

Things may get better; what's that chance?

Scam calls coming in all day, aggrievance!

My head spins with indignance & insignificance,

My resistance is losing its endurance,

Life is becoming an encumbrance!

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

Just To Cheer Me Up...

The Internet Went Down Again!

The depths of darkness return!

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

Went to Get a Shave & Shower.

Well, it's a bit of excitement for me. Humph!

Apart from the dropsies in the shower and a couple of shaving nicks, all went very well.

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

Got the Nosh Prepped

Memory Blanks.
