It took me ages to get to sleep again after the last Carer call for Christopher. When I did float off, I kept waking up repeatedly. Cragnangles!
But last night’s coughing, sore throat and sneezing had disappeared. Thankfully.
I pottered about
and got the waste bags sorted for collection.
Again, the evacuation seemed as solid as a rock.
I didn’t even try to force it; I left it to nature and counted the cracks in the ceiling. Still no motion. So, I got on the crossword puzzling book. I was getting brave, but the expected anticipated torpedo needed some encouragement. Which hurt a bit, but things flowed.
Red ski in the morning, Shepherds Warning?

I trapped my finger in the cupboard door, pulled my hand away, and knocked over the kitchen towel and its holder. I spent an hour or so trying to get it glued back together. If I’m gentle with it from now on, it might last for a while.

Back to the wet room and deposited myself on the Throne.
The relief of the last visit a short while ago was forgotten about. had returned with a vengeance! Tsk!
As I left the room, taking care not to walk into the doorframe this time,
chimed and in walked
.
A, or maybe it may have been a; I can’t recall Shaquille leaving, yet a glimmer of me in the hallway saying cheers lingers at the back of my mind. So, maybe I can after all.
called on me. I remember all of this visit… I think. Kara booked the two hospital lifts for me. Ah, maybe I can’t recall all of it! I seem to believe that Kara rang the Doctors for me, but I have no idea why and am not sure she did. Things are not good in the head’s hard drive today, not that they have been for many months. Kara also checked the two emails and text I was struggling with.
Checked the dates on the food in the fridge for me; that’s a great help. Sometimes Kara finds out-of-date items that, with my failing eyesight, I cannot read, the print is too small, and her cotton socks. ♥.
I shot ominously dark clouds, which could be seen again, as last week, lurking about up in the sky.
I missed this Kodak Tim shot earlier. Or did I? I’ll have a look now. Yes, I missed it off. It’s a pleasant-looking view of local homes near the flats. Three murder spots have been in view this year already. Two muggings were on the cut-through between the houses. I had no idea what happened last night, but I saw the blue flashings from the police cars and ambulance. It’s all clear this morning, though. I’ll keep an eye on the news to get some snippets.
Time to get some food down me now.
I’ll need to pay close attention to this meal. It has the same base as yesterday’s. The vegetables bake for 25 minutes. Then, I must add the vegetarian sausages 15 minutes later, no, 10 minutes later. When the 20 minutes were up, I put the root-vegetable potatoes in the microwave for five minutes, as if I knew what I was talking about!
I really cocked it up in the morning. I was checking the SD card and thought what a great job I’d done taking a picture of the second vegetarian meal in two days, effort. Minutes later, I got the car in the slot… but the snap of the meal had done a runner! Or, conversely, I may have hit the delete button by mistake. This now seems more likely, as Peripheral Neuropathy, making the fingers numb to touch, is getting more frequent and lasting longer. (Mind you, it comes in handy when one burns a finger or hand on the oven; one doesn’t feel the pain! Until I smell the burning and take a look – then the brain gets the message from the warped eyes, and I do feel the belated pain. I’ve noticed this. Mistakes on the keyboard have got me into many a pickle this last week. Well, this week, as well!
TTFNski!
Lovely red sky at morning. Kara is an angel.
Thanks, Tim.
Kara is so precious to my coping with things. ♥
Shoplifting is such heavy work 🙂 That ode is very sobering!
‘Shoplifting is such heavy work’, Hahaha!
I was in a state of mild depression when I wrote that one, Paul. Bad news on the Cataract operation being put further back, due to so many folks needing them done. Little Inchie was bleeding like never before, and I’d strapped a finger in the drawer. Hahaha!
Cheers, all the bestest.
Ouch, hope that mends, it’s the small injuries that hurt the most in my experience.
Just to prove you right, I burnt my meal tonight. And burnt my finger (same one) on the pan lifting it off the the stove just as the fire alarm went off, dropped it on my naked legs. Melting the catheter bag which leaked! and dressing gown, then swore a while. And the fire brigade came in the flat. I’m so glad they did, cause I’d got down to clean the mess and could not get back up again. They did larf as got me up!
I’m thinking of changing the blogs name to “Worralife!” Hahaha!
I’d got things semi-sorted by 02:30hrs (now) and checked for comments.
TTFNski.
Not funny but funny nonetheless, my goodness what a day you had.
Cheers, Paul.
Just another futile 24-hours worth of failures, Whoopsidedangleplops, Accifauxpas & frustrations. Hehehe!
🙁
Thanks for sharing this idea Anita
