Ahem! I found this in ten seconds! Fair enough, it was designed for infants to work out. But still –
Hehe!

It didn’t last long, though…

This day, I was more out of it than in again. The urine in the night bag was dark but grew darker as I refilled the day bag. Well into the evening, it turned an almost perfect near-white? The Porcelain Throne visits (4) were bloody and painful, with absolutely nothing getting through to the WC! I spent ages on the Throne, all to no avail. I’m now taking crystals to help me go, after months of taking anti-diarrhorea pills to stop me from going! In fact, I was on the Throne when Carer Chris came in and tapped on the door asking if I was alright. I’d not heard the chime. He said he could hear me oohing, r’ing and swearing! Guilty!
The memory, Dizzies, Confusion, and I could barely hear anyone I spoke with… I must try to sort out the problem with the Audio Centre, to get some help to ring them next week. No Kara next week. I think she’s on a deserved holiday. The financials are all on hold. Carer Atere said he was coming in her place. He knows the financial paperwork storage system, which will be a big help.
The usually Nocturnal Thought Storms Steve had a bash at trying diurnal Thought Storming! Huh! Just what I needed, Not!
Concentration Konrad was noticeable by his complete absence.
The number of times I just could not think of what I was after an interruption, was so often I lost count. I’m not kidding. And yet there was an air of acceptance with me today. I reckon I thought I deserved it… Well, according to Thought Storm Steve, who was constantly reminding me of the shameful things from my youth.
The day was spent on the computer. Apart from the emptying of the catheter pouch, the failed visits to the Porcelain Throne, and the Carers calling. The worst repeat interruptions were from the , .who amassed many brown-outs today. Which in their usual fashion lost me work that I’d done and could not save, because I had to turn everything off, and reset
the box, then restart the computer. Even change Wi-Fi connection numbers each time it went down, and do the same work again!
What me, Cry? Blubber, Howl? Curse, Swear?
It was only my dyspathy towards the number-crunching oligarchs, the smoke & mirrors money & figure manipulating financial geniuses of Liberty-Global that kept me going, and not packing up on the blogging.
Spit!
Still got a few photographicalisations done though!
Bejesus! What a colour!
Still dark hours later, when I belatedly emptied the day pouch.
Waste bags sorted out.
During one of the failed
visits, I had to change into fresh PPs. I tried one of the cheaper XXL ones…
The first laugh of the entire day!
I struggled, as usual getting them on, but kept my balance; no fall or tumble, not even any banging on the wall, stubbed toe or door-head-butting. Finally, I got both legs in the right holes… Don’t laugh; I have been known to get them the wrong way around… also trying to get two legs in the same hole. Go on then, laugh! Hehe!
I carefully got the pants up my legs, without catching the release valve lever… this was going so well. The laugh came to me when I got them fully pulled up… they were so big the waistband was only inches from my nipples! Hahaha!
Artist Impression done in CorelDraw by Inchy. Har-Har!
Aha, much lighter shade this afternoon!
My favourite puffer clouds to the north.
And, to the east!
Liberty-Global Internet went down a few more times.
Gnash!
I dropped a tablet and thought it fell in the waste bin.
Had a sort through the bin, but could not find it.
So I got the torch and looked underneath the second-hand bought ex-Hopewells G-Plan c1960 sideboard with the computer on it. Not only couldn’t I find it, I stubbed my toe in the struggle to get back up on my feet again! It has to be in the bin…
So, another dig around in the waste bin.
And another failure to find the Codeine. Hey-Ho!
Then realised when I’d stubbed the toe, I’d caught the right ankle ulcer. It stung a bit, but I now had the Germolene to rub in to ease it. Of course, bending down to rub in the ointment, kicked off
, so she got some Germolene rubbed in… at least the area I could reach. I wonder if any youngsters read this blog? They’ll, just like I did, and think it’ll not happen to be, getting dithery, dozy and daft as a brush. Haha!
Night Shots From the Kitchen Window
Peaceful looking?
Lights out time.
Sky again to the left.
Here are the results of the carers tested for their BP.
All looking good!
Well into the morning now, I’d better get some nosh done.
I shall report back with a sit-rep for you every one of my avid readers in the morning. Hope you both sleep well. Har-Har!
03:00HRS: AT LAST… FOOD!
Vegetable Chilli-Con-Carne!
Breadsticks, a banana, and an iced lolly for afters.
Flavour-Rating: 9.2/10!
Got bedded down around 03:20hrs, and low & behold, was waiting ready to start again. But I did get off eventually and had nearly three hours of bliss. .
I would have stayed in the £300 second-hand shop purchased, c1966, welt-causing, uncomfortable, not-working, itch-inspirational, crumb-containing recliner for longer; Unfortunately Dementia Doreen’s compatriot, , convinced me on waking, that it was Monday! So I thought I had a delivery coming between 7 & 8, and it was already 07:15hrs; a semi-panic-mode was engaged and I got up in a bit of a rush; Dizzy Dennis visited, and I plumped down again, with a foggy head. Then realised it was Sunday.
Int life Good? Haha!
TTFNski!
I thought I lost my new prescription glasses this morning in the process of taking the trash to the dumpster or after I got back in the apartment. I looked everywhere I could think I might have knocked them off my head – the oxygen canula is good for that! – but to no avail. I even went out in a rainstorm to check by the dumpster where I’d just dumped my trash.
Then, a few hours later, I had an epiphany: Did I even put them on when I got up? Turned out the glasses were right where I put them when I went to bed!
Thought you might enjoy my senior moment, my non mentis compos! It took a bit over two hours to realize what happened to my glasses. Nothing like starting out one’s day in a fog, eh?!
A comforting tale of woe for me there, thanks, Doug! I lived the tale as I read it. Just like events here in the flat! Hahaha!
I’m still looking for my new reading glasses. Tsk!
I did enjoy reading that, Doug. As a fellow ‘Fogginess Friend’
Cheers.
Several accounts of glasses in hiding were noted on my post. LOL! I felt a bit better for being part of the forgetful crowd.
Hahaha! Welcome to the club, Doug.
I’ve still not found the new trifocals yet, mate.
I can remember when I first start losing the memory, I’d ask Cyril if he’s seen whatever I’d lost… I do miss that and the lad so much. As you and Andy do, with Dougie.
Cheers mate, thanks.
I hope they show up when you least expect to find them!
That’s my last hope, Doug. Hehe!
I found what I thought was a tube if Germoloids behind the floor cabinet mopping up yesterday, great joy… until I got the picker-upperer and retrieved it, it was just the empty box. Sulking again now.
We can the funny side sometimes.
Cheers to you and Andy, mate.
Binning a tablet is terrible. Ugh! Cool Alto natter you had there. Nice night shorts. Great looking meal.
Thanks, Tim.
Did you see Doug’s comment? So like me! Hehe!
