Sunday 19th September 2021: Inchies Day, and sometimes the odd ode that might get slipped in!

The TFZer Lads on a visit?

SUNDAY 19th SEPTEMBER 2021

04:30hrs: I woke with the Thought Storms still raging in my bonce! I more or less tried to ignore them, and eventually, the need of a wee-wee saved the day, well morning.

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

The swollen fluid-filled feet were far better than yesterday. On the mend?

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

Wee-Wee Taken

An FPB (Forceful-Painful-Blasting) long, a marathon of a wee-wee flowed out as if from a hose-pipe! Splashback was narrowly avoided. The bucket was taken for emptying, cleaning and refreshing.

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

Prepped Josies Sunday Lunch

Got the beef chilli-black bean and vegetables in the saucepan and seasoned.

Put some potatoes in the crock-pot for me later on in the day.

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

Waste Bags Sorted

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

Kettle On - PHoto

Got the kettle on the boil. Then took this snap of the end car park

Eerie looking photo, taken through the glass pane? I didn't want to disturb anyone as early as this, with the inevitable noise that closing the ill-fitting, finger-trapping windows make.

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

The BP graph SYS & DIA combination was still creeping up a smidgeon.

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

Porcelain Throne Duties

Well! Yet another decent session today. A little reluctant to start. I had another go at an old crossword that I'd not done very well with... and didn't again. Hehe!

When that action started, it was as smooth as silk, easy-peasy! Totally painless, no bleeding either! Very satisfactory. It didn't pong as much as it did yesterday... or I'd got a blocked nose?

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

Blogging!

Updated yesterday's blog and got it posted off to Blogger. Emailed the link and went t make a brew before intending to go on TFZer & Winwood Facebooking...

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

Morning Care Arrived

Very late. I realised why when I saw it was another new gal today. So it was understandable, Kylie being late.

Name of Kylie. 'What do I do?' was her first question after introducing herself. I kept schtum while she sorted the medications for the first time. Pretty young thing. As she gave me the tablets, I explained my sudden involuntary movement on my right side, so she wasn't startled if I gave a Hitler salute or burst into the Neuropathic Leg Dance. She gave me time for a natter but was obviously behind in her rounds, so I had to let her go. Hahaha!

Facebooking - Blogging

Had to go on CorelDraw to get graphics done; I'm out of any to use now.

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

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

CorelDrawing

Got one graphic done and realised I had to get Josie's meal done yet! So, I did!

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

Got My Toque On

Sampled the homemade stew/chilli. It seemed okay; I'm instead hoping that Josie thinks the same as I do. 

Served up the bowl on a tray with the extra weekly nibbles.

Delivered it on time to Josie's door, keeping my 100% record. Smug Mode Installed! One thing that worried me, Josie seemed happy with the beef chilli/stew, biscuits, limoncello dessert, and chocolates. But the can of plonk got some attention and a mild interrogation. Hehe! 

I could not answer her question about what was in it, and the printing on the can was too small and faint to read. But when I told her that I knew not and added that the drink is 4.5% alcohol, which is stronger than her usual Vodka or Gin,   she seemed impressed, Hehehe! Wished her good eating and returned to wash the dirty pots I'd made creating the meal.

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

Busy Time...

I finished the pots, took the bags to the waste chute, and got the ablutions tended to...

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

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

Ablutionalisation

Went very well again! Fair enough, over the whole session, including the medicationalisationing and dressing, only about eight dropsies. ☺

Just the one small nick shaving. One clouting of the elbow on the grab rail. One bash of my knee on the edge of the floor cabinet getting dressed.

Whoopsiedangleplop

As all was done, I grabbed the large kitchen roll to have a final wipe around the floor and sink... Guess what I knocked over as I grabbed the kitchen towel? And it landed straight into the WC?

Yes, I swore!

Knees and Feet Check

Both looking amazingly better now! ☺

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

Cleaned The Kitchen Sink

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

Dang-It!

I'd just finished titivating the kitchenette when I realised I'd not laundered the dressing gown! Gragnangles!

So, to avoid making a mess again in the kitchen sink and floor. I washed, rinsed, wrung and hung the gown up to dry in the wet room, on the curtain rail.


Cunning!

Started on Template for Monday

Blogger kept changing my formatting again. You know, alignments size of fonts etc.

So annoying, Spit!

Carer Arrived

A new to me, Carer arrived, as I was making a brew in the kitchen. Very late it was, too. No doubt someone had not turned up again. This gal was Christened Dionne, and we did have a chinwag and laugh of some depth. Dionne got the medications sorted for me. And we both took a photo of the sudden burst of late sunset sunshine that came through the clouds.

About one minute between shots!

Offered her a can of plonk in thanks, she took two (Haha!) and shot off cause she still had one more call to do, bless her cotton socks.

My Mini-Meal

A ready-made Lasagne. I added some cheese slices on top of it. I had planned to put the last of the Leicester grated cheese on... but the mould had grown ferociously on it in the bag. Humph!

It didn't look very appealing but tasted okay. In fact, I gave it a deserved flavour rating of 7.5/10.

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

Pressed On With Blogging

I was far too far behind to get it finished early, as I had hoped, now. Gnash!

The going was so slow, too. 

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

21:10hrs: Started banging again up above!

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

Oh, I haven't mentioned the Wee-weeing!

I've been ticking on the notepad each time I've had a wee-wee... to date, the score is 18 visits to the bucket! No... 19 now!

It wears one out, you know!

Still, it's a good thing cause it will, or should, clear the fluid retention in the legs and feet more?

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

Blogging

Got as far as here, then finished off and sent the post to Blogger, and I went on Facebooking. Did an order for Morrisons from Amazon. Forgot to order some tomatoes, Tsk! Still, did remember to order some more bacon and ordered some refried black beans. I've never had them before. But the carer the other day mentioned how she loved them, so I thought I'd try one. Not sure what to have them with. I was thinking of the bacon? To be on the safe side, I found a can of the medium and avoided the strong and extra strong ones. I'm not sure it was such a good idea now.

I'm missing things, like sodality,

But I hang on to my morality,

Weakening now is my astucity,

My mind is confused, with duplexity,

It is not easy, mind-manageability,

Thus I'm missing sharing synonymity,

My memory shows undependability,

Thoughts share unclarity, unconformity,

Mind you, wee-wees show superactivity,

Logicality has no retainability,

Hopes and desires? A technicality!

Evening All!

Can't remember if I posted this or not. Sad, innit? Yes, think I did...

 SATURDAY 18th SEPTEMBER 2021 

Phenomenal!

04:15hrs: I coughed into wakefulness, felt the pain from the feet as I gingerly got them down from resting upon the chair. Then, as the grey cells kicked in and the fuzziness faded, I realised that I had been asleep and uninterrupted at that - for eight hours! No wee-weeing or Colin Cramps!

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

Hobbling Much Easier!

Walking was much less hassle too! Which is what the brain started doing in its usual fashion. I kicked of doing little jobs and moving n to others before the first one was completed. This is becoming a hemerine habit nowadays.

Had a wee-wee, washed the overnight bucket, got the kettle on, made p some waste bags and put them near the door...

Went back to make a brew, got the Glengettie tea bag in the mug, turned the kettle back on, and got sidetracked when I saw the twinkling lights from the kitchen window. Fetched the camera and tried my bestest to get a decent shot of the view.

Best of the three I took.

Computer On

Oh, the SYS is creeping back up again, 134, 143, 157 and 165 this late morning? It will no doubt go down tomorrow; it usually does after three increases.

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

Wee-Wee - Accifauxpa!

This was about the seventh wee-wee of the morning. Each one is a little gushier than the previous one. So, I hastened to get the trews and PP's down and caught Little Inchies lesion as I did so.

Serves me right!

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

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

Sister Jane Rang

We had a little nattering session. Moaning, complaining about Nottingham Forest, and generally waffling merrily on. But, the need for yet another wee-wee arose, and we had to stop out chinwag. Tsk!

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

Blog Finished Off

I finally got the blog finished for Friday, sent it off to Blogger, Emailed the link and set about doing the Facebooking catch-up.

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

The Door Chime Chimed

I got up and went to the door. (Boy, the feet had gotten worse!) The postie handed me a parcel. It was the bacon stand for the microwave... I decided there and then to make a bacon sarnie straight away!

Mixed responses... Humph!

I assembled the cheap, at most, weighing 3-ounce flimsy tray.
The dang thing didn't fit into the oven without catching and stopping the turntable all the time! I had to stand there and keep opening the door, replacing the paper towels, put the dropped off the stand bacon back on... Fed up with this already!

I lost count of the times I had to keep taking it out, rearranging the bacon, and the microwave will need an industrial cleaning! Even more fed-up now!

I was not impressed with how the bacon looked when I took it out!

However, after I'd cleaned up the cooler, sink, bowl and floor, from the usage of the crap cheapo plastic utensil. I caught a whiff of the bacon... my resistance and reluctance weakened slightly...

It tasted dang gorgeous!

I ate the bits of misshaped bacon, putting them in a slice of milk roll bread, and dunking it into some BBQ sauce... 

Such a messy, dangerous, ham-handed, unsafe, overpriced, not-fit for the task it was bought for tacky tool!

I'll use it again when I get some more bacon bought! Hehehe!

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

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

Porcelain Throne Utilised

I hobbled to the wet room and got down. It was reluctant to start, so I had a go at the crossword book... but only for at most a minute or so.

When things activated, and the product came out, 'Clump, splash, gurgle, splash (accompanied by involuntary hurricane-force escapages of wind), and all done! Even the flush worked the first time! 

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

Delivery!

It appears that I have made another error in the size of the bottles of black bean and Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce?

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

Suddenly Drained Again

Got some nibbles sorted out. Went down well, and within minutes of washing the pots and getting down, I fell asleep.

But the Thought Storms battered away at me. It felt like every five minutes, I was waking with something new to fret and worry over. Grrr!

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

Evening Carer ARrived

I'm afraid there was not a lot I recall about this visit. I was a little out of it with the fatigue and not getting to sleep. I'm guessing it was Valerie who came... if not, Samantha. I did fall to rest after the carer left and acquired an hour with Sweet Morpheus. Then I woke with a jump - no idea what day or time it was.

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

Vague, Foggy-Minded

I took the waste bags to the chute room. I found this photo to remind me; I can't recall doing this at all.

Got down - Fell Asleep
