– – – – – I can’t take much more! – – – – –

The day started better than usual, as well.
The usual back-breaking three treks to the , with the heaving three bowls of water from the kitchen to flush things. Only three visits today, mind you. All within the first three hours, a good start

No bother from the .

The carer arrived, and all went well.

Ablutions went fine.
Zero, I say Zero cuts shaving!

Looking a little threatening?

No complaints about the ulcers or ankles.

I foolishly allowed myself to cheer up.
I should have known better!

Got on the computer and was doing alright.. until…

I was in the middle of a good run of concentration. With CorelDraw at the limit of its memory, I was doing so well… and got an earlier start… life was for once perking up – Gragknangles! The CorelDraw scene shook about a bit and closed itself, never to be seen again! I could have cried!
Went on the web asking for advice but failed to grasp what I was reading in reply. So, I loaded up a newer but unused version of CorelDraw 2017; just look below at what I had lost on screen! I mused for what must have been an hour or more before actioning a rescue attempt.

I proceeded over the next nine hours, with breaks to empty a few times, Carer, and domestic calling. It would take me days to get things back sorted and working! Utter despair and frustration. But I pressed on for another hour or so. then got an idea (I do that every year or so; get an idea – not that they usually work)
Mayhap this version will load the last saved before it did a runner and vanished. on CorelDraw x7? I tried it, and it loaded it, but boy, did it cause me some problems then. The dockers had all gone, the Colour pallets too. And there was a conflict with the different icons, and I had to try every one of them in order and remove those not working.
Sheer determination carried me onwards, and now, 16 hours after it first cocked up, I’ve got it looking like this.

At least the pallet colours were got back again. But not the cockers; they had to be rebuilt form scratch. I’m tired out, hungry, and would you believe that is kicking off again, and I need the damned rotten again! So, after I’ve carried the water to the tank and refilled it, I’m going to be in a right state pain-wise again.

I’ll bung the photos taken in here, I must be quick to get it done before the evacuation is ready, and I die in agony abed starvation. Hehehe!

Afternoon shots.

Teatime piccies.

After the second-last caller came.

Sunset.

Carer’s desk, after the last day Call.

Got to go, then I’ll get summat to eat and hopefully fall asleep.
Not that I’m feeling up to making nowt fancy; soup will do.
Get back in the morning… Well, all being well, like.

MORNING, LATE: I’M BACK.
I fell asleep, woken up when the late Evening carer , who gave me a painkiller.

Then I got the vegetable soup sorted out with a few bread rolls, extra oven cooked potatoes, and a black tomato.
Taste rating: 803/10.

I soon nodded off, but were rampant, thus the jouncing and jolting awake seemed be doing it to me every five minutes! Tsk!
