What a horribly uncomfortable night that was!
Thought storms on and off. A nightmare, that was a smidge overbearing and seemed to last for a while; Confused thoughts, memory prompting, but could I ascertain the exactness… No!
Thanks to…
Going down so often. My lack of concentration. And my newly acquired habit of falling asleep for no reason, this blog was not started until Friday mid-morning. So I’ve cut it short so that I might make start working on today’s (Fridays) a little earlier. Then pray that –, my lack of concentration and Falling-Asleep-Fred, will not ruin getting anything done blog-wise again. Got to get this done ASAP, as the nurse is due to call today… that despite delaying blogging, brought a wicked smile to my face. Hahaha! As if!

I stirred back into Horrors, Fears, Whoopsiedangleplops, Accifauxpas & Worries of Life at 05:10hrs.

Not so good

Not sure about the ankles; they could be getting infected again?

Went to sort the waste bags out, starting in the kitchenette. Well, fancy that, it’s raining again!

Took the waste bags to the front door.
And found the Cancer Check Test Kit on the floor.
So, I opened it and ensured I was as inculcated as far as possible, with equipment and how to take the test.
Then off to the wet room and made a right mess of it first try. I shan’t go into gruesome detail this time. The second effort worked, and the cleaning up took ages!

Carer Richard arrived.
He did the first eye drops, Alarm test, and pouch check.
Medications, second eye drops, and we managed a little chin-wag. Something I do appreciate about Richard. Nice lad. I asked if he could take the package from the Cancer check, and post it for me, to save me from having to go through the painful job of getting the shoes and trousers on. Which he did! Taking the rubbish bags to the chute on the way out. Thank you!

Made brew of Glengettie number one. That’s my lot until evening or night when I will have the second of the two mugs allowed. However, I am allowed as many mugs of the decaffeinated rubbish tea… Urrgh!

Got the computer on…
Within two hours, (10:00hrs) it was…

The rain was still persisting…
The mudslide had increased in size & depth.
The sky went a bluey-dark?

At approximately 12:00hrs, Carer Kara called, with a new girl in training. Eye drops, medications. She soon sorted the new pouch, making it more comfortable and the attached tube was less pulling and tugging on poor little unused Inchie. ♥

13:30hrs… failures were…

While Mr Fries caring for customers
was actually working, I thought I’d make an order for next week with Sainsbury’s, to take advantage of their Nectar offers.
But No! The computer said they were too busy; try again later!
So, pissed off, I tried Morrisons; they were the same. too busy; try again later! I tried Sainsbury’s again, but no-go! Tried Morrisons again, and got through. But… when I started to make an order, I realised how much dearer they were than other outlets, so cancelled my order. That left Iceland, so I made one for them for next Thursday. Naturally…

At least it was for only a short period this time.
I double-checked that I had the right date this time. Then again, I thought I had this week but hadn’t, so I checked it once more time. No more double-deliveries of food for Inchy!
That’s the plan anyway!

The rain abated.
Got down to a shower status

Mid-afternoon skies…
Pareidoliable? Yes!
Beautiful!
Signs of more rain to come?
Then, I found this photograph below…
I assume it was a close-up of the sky.
At least I hope it was. Hehehe!

Carer Chris did the last two checks. He seemed distracted. He went onto the balcony to take a sky photo after it had brightened up amazingly, and I took this snap of him doing a pose…
Just look how the sky is so bright, after a gap of about two hours for the photos above this one. Mother Nature again!

Food Time!
Battered balls and mushrooms, and a banana. I enjoyed this. But later found several empty cheese curl packets in the bin.
Guilty-Mode-Adopted!

I went to wash the pots… and what looked to all intents and purposes like a rainbow was coming through the window onto the kitchenette floor..
I manoeuvred my feet so it shone on the toes.
A surreal photo indeed!

After falling asleep again trying to watch my beloved Heartbeat on the goggle-box, I drifted off to sleep at the first set of commercials – missing the programme again. Could I heck as get back to sleep when I wanted to? No! So I got out of the second-hand, £300, c1968, overwhelmingly sickening beige coloured, tatty, uncomfortable, wobbly, germ-producing, falling to pieces, food residue collecting recliner, and took two rather decent for me, snaps of the evening sky.

This one of high up…The bottom one is lower down.
Wonderful!

I returned to the second-hand, £300, charity shop bought, crumb-retaining, microorganism-microbe producing, gungy, moth-eaten, beige-coloured, non-working, bacillus encouraging, incommodious, Haemorrhoid Harold testing, c1968 recliner.
With hopes of getting some sleep in… Ha-ha! No Chance!
The kicked off. Ensuring no sleep for the old codger after that. Talk about persistent, I can’t recall the giving me a chance to nod off.

At about 05:00hrs, I gave up… no sooner had I looked at the clock, wondering if I should try to sleep again or not, and a vicious attack from put an end to that idea! Banged my elbow on the chair arm!

Oh, a quick update here…
