BUSY, BUSY DAY… COR BLIMEY, NOT HALF!

Cock-up forgetting I’d ordered an Iceland delivery, or between 08-10 hours. Appointment at the chemist for 09@55hrs for the Covid Jab… but luckily, the Iceland man came early… Phew!  was back at work. She had a quiet break, she told me. Then, she also rang the Audio Clinic for me without any definitive answer about the appointments. Then she changed the well overdue and fitted both leg and ankle bags for me. I’m so glad she’s back ♥
You wouldn’t believe how much I was fretting without her.
The bus trip to the Covid jab, and the Covid Jab I thought went well. I got some doughnuts for the residents meeting for a drink in the big lounge.
 When one of the ladies kindly asked if the jab went well, I replied: Perfect, didn’t feel the needle at all, no pains afterwards. The arm later on was and still is in agony!  And staying awake is a challenge in itself.
I could do nothing on the blog, for I was suddenly so tired out? So, and trying to catch up on this Thursday morning.
It’ll have to be a quickie, or else, I’ll never get today’s blog started. Mission impossible today. And the arm that I told everyone was name bother… is! Hehehe!

Took this and the one below before the delivery arrived.
Why I took it, I don’t know!

Made a mess of this one too!

The food Arrived.
And what a mess I’d made of the ordered!
I must have ordered six double packs of kitchen rolls? I felt sure I’d ordered only one, or meant to?
The fridge seemed well filled.

Got the paperwork ready in my .
Set out to get to the bus stop. Where I had a great, long, much-missed chin-wag.
The trip down was not too bad. A bloke told me to go one stop further than usual, then I could use the pelican-crossing to get to the chemist.
Since I moved into the flats, this shop has changed named four times as I know of. Just puzzled!

Crossed the road and took this shot down the hill. Then got into the chemists and handed them the COVID-19 details. I espied while waiting, that they had some of the Max Antidiarrhea Capsules on sale. me two packets.

I snapped some of the many closed shops on Mansfield Road in Sherwood.

Up to the bus stop, and had another natter while waiting for it to arrive. At this stage, my arm was no bother at all. I bought some doughnuts from the Co-op to give to the residents with their tea or coffee.

Got back to the flats.
I cheerfully meandered inside Winwood Court, and to the large lobby, and handed the gals the packages.
I popped out the back of the flats to take these two photos.

The backs of Winwood and Woodthorpe Courts.
The backs of Winwood, & Winchester Courts.

Back into the flat, and forgot to take off leg and ankle straps. I am a one!

As I was doing the waste bags, the Covid-used arm kicked off. I was too tried to do anything now as well.

Took off both of the diabetic socks, ankle and lag straps.

Not that I spent much time on the computer, but

A LOUSY NIGHT!
Sweet Morpheus was unattainable!
I had to keep waking up to check on the day pouch, as the Night Pouches are still unavailable. And if I moved, the right arm gave me some stick in no little degree!.

    Sad to see the empty shops, a rerun of the thatcher years it seems.

      Too true, Paul. Sadly the internet, the easiest of con-artist parasite infested internet, has been partly to blame methinks. HMG as well!

        Sadly.

  3. Doug Thomas – Alliance, NE – I retired from nearly 36 years in a factory that produces hydraulic and industrial hoses. That is the short of it. The most interesting thing I've done is serve in the US Army as a motion picture photographer. I was stationed in then-West Germany in Kaiserslautern, Kleber Kaserne, in the 69th Signal Company (Photo). I was sent all over western Europe filming military exercises and other less interesting things. This enabled me to become a "bier kenner", someone knowledgeable about beer. Haw! I was much younger then, and could handle the wear and tear. The most interesting thing that happened to me happened in 1980, the first day of the new year: I spotted a rara avis in my backyard. A phainopepla, a member of the silky flycatcher family! It stayed around for two months, long enough for me to photograph it through a garage window not more than 2m from a birdbath to which it came each day. The photos, sent to the state ornithological organization and their rare bird report committee, established me as the first and only person to have seen this particular bird in my state. Records for my state go back to Lewis and Clarke's western expedition, so that gives you the context and perspective through which other birders view my record. You should too! It was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. It lead to a decade of uninterrupted bliss, tracking down birds in the field with other people of a feather. The worst thing that happened to me is called Wegener's granulomatosis. Oh dear! This is where it becomes difficult! WG is a form of vasculitis that you have for life once it develops. It has no known cause, though scientists work as I write to try to determine why it occurs. My story is long and I am tired: More details later! It is a fatal disease without proper care. With proper care, people still can die! One last detail: a weggie (pronounced "wegg-ee"), is a person with Wegener's granulomatosis. It is an Australian construction, to the best of my knowledge, and suits me better than being known in perpetuity as a "WG patient". In 2016, a Wegener's flare mostly wiped out what kidney function I still had, and I went through a two month process of hospitalization and rehabilitation before I could return home to my two cats, Andy and Dougy. My neighbors across the lane took care of them while i was gone, with a childhood friend who substituted for my neighbors when they had to be out of town. The major change brought about by the flare: I now am on dialysis three times a week. Fortunately for me, my local general hospital has a very modern, well staffed dialysis unit. With a nurse-to-patient ratio of nearly one-one, it is the best of five dialysis sites I've been in. The recliners are even heated! Since these units are typically kept ice berg cold, you can see I feel like I am in heaven! (Well, not yet, but you get the idea!)

    Yeah, I see South America and Africa in those evening clouds!

      I spotted Africa, too, Doug. I’ll have a look for South America now. Cheers.
