I got carried away today, although waking up in pain,
Waking in confusion, ailments giving it to me again,
I was feeling a smidge sickly, but not properly poorly,
I pondered and investigated divinators’ activity,
Divination by watching cats’ movements, ailuromancy,
Divination using needles, that’s called acultomancy,
Divination using salt, named alomancy,
Divination by taking a walk, (Strange that) ambulomancy,
Weird one, divination by examining the afterbirth! Amniomancy?
One for Starmer, divination using burning coals,
Arithmancy: divination using numbers, numerology,
Mysteries to me, I’d not heard of many…
Divination; Sitting and chanting within a circle, aspidomancy,
The user uses needles for divination in agalmatomancy,
What I read of this one, rather shocked me…
A long-outlawed one, for the evil divinationary,
It used the entrails of dead/dying men or women, so nasty,
Virgins through sacrifice, Anthropomancy!
There were dozens of others; these few were scary…
These here start with an A, initially, He-He!
I nipped through the rest of the pages quickly,
I think these are okay to write, I say nervously…
Divination by studying the face; physiognomancy,
Divination by means of spirits; psychomancy,
Divination by opening works of poetry, randomly?
Divination using stars, divination using stars, sideromancy,
Sounds more like it should be astronomy?,
This one reminded me of me: spasmatomancy…
Divination by twitching or convulsions of the body,
Sciomancy: divination using ghosts, no, surely?
Divination by means of faeces, spasmatomancy?
Fortune-telling by studying seeds in dung: stercomancy,
Horoscopy, palmistry for prediction or prophecy,
I suppose they do it claiming to be adminicularly?
I imagine divination could be supplementary…
To the waffle we get from the Labour Party,

Only a few bits to go in now. Sorry.
I think the last weeks have taken a lot out of me.
Not been very up all day. It took so long to get the blog done up to here, and I’m so far behind with everything. Time is getting on. Ejaz will be doing his last call soon. 
The paperwork that needed to be done hasn’t been completed because I was feeling poorly this morning. Confused, toothache, dizzy, worse than yesterday. No comments or WP reader visit. Left the tap running, no hot water, no shower or shave.
I’m not feeling sorry for myself, but I’m feeling vague, out of balance, and unable to concentrate. I’m tired out, despite a long broken 6 hours in kip. Just feeling I’m not me. Which sounds odd, I know. Hehe! 
This unreal state I woke up in lasted until the evening, but at that time, thankfully, along came . Unfortunately, being in the grip of earlier, I decided to risk it and have some Polish sausages, tomatoes, onions, and German ham cheesey-topped bread rolls. 
I wasn’t surprised when  dished out the punishment for my stupidity.
By then, he was making an entry, with his delightful ‘Sod-Em-All’ mode permeating every part of my outlook and brain. Plus, I recognised how silly I’ve been in eating hard foods, so the pain was my own fault. But was I bothered? Well, yes, a bit, but the grip of Horis grew larger. It’s challenging to find the words to express how I felt at that time. Guilt was in there somewhere along with ‘Sod-Em-All’, knowledge that I’m paying the price for something or other and pure relief that the vagueness was on its way, after harassing me all day.

A few photos I took follow, the last ones with on full swing.

I recall taking this one after waking up late and feeling in a mood; seeing the fog, it seemed to fit in.

The photo below reminded me that’s probably why I took it. I only took a handful all day.
The computer kept telling me to open my OneDrive Cloud, but I couldn’t figure out how. I failed to achieve this for about an hour or more.
Then the robot told me to install Google updates.
I think this might open the cloud, so I installed them as instructed. Of dearie me, what a fine pickle I’d got myself into. It would have to come while I was feeling so confused, didn’t it? Of course it did.
I had to close all programmes first, then click on install, so I did. It took ages to load and install.
I opened Google, and all of my tabs failed to show up on the screen! A minute’s panic, and I made the fifth visit to the . Where I pondered over what to do, or try next. When I got back to the computer, a line above everything had appeared on Google. It was empty. I presumably thought the tags were being put on as part of the update. So I left it to see what would happen after an hour of creating words in Hippo. Nothing had happened.
So, I found the Bookmarks, now written as bookmarks & lists, and opened some of the tabs, and clicked on the ” put on tab thingy. Slowly working my way through he ones I wanted to put on. Three hours later, after each one had appeared on the top line on the screen, I clicked on them to open them. The first one, Hippo’s words, had a warning on it about heavy memory usage, so I closed it, and it disappeared from the screen! This also happened with WordPress, Iceland, and Amazon. They all disappeared eventually, each time I
closed them, but just the ones above had ‘High Memory usage flash up. Heartbroken, angry, and frustrated, I closed down the computer, ran CCleaner, and then turned it off. I didn’t notice the amount it cleaned or removed this time, as I was at my lowest point of the day. Shame!
Back to the Porcelain Throne for another Trotsky Terence watery evacuation, and I sat there feeling sorry for myself for yonks.
Ejaz came and did a good job of body-checking, foamed the left ankle, and administered the medications. I did not mention the computer to him; that is how low I felt!

I opened the computer again, and all the original tabs were back in the usual place! I resisted getting hopeful yet, knowing my luck.
But my jiminee, they were working correctly now!
I suppose, being so confused and dispirited, I may have missed something I should have or should not have done during the download and installation.
Then I reran CCleaner.
This is what was cleaned. A little large amount for a ten-minute use?

Visited, Wonderful!

Silly me, naturally, this brought the attention of
Serves me right!

And…
and…

Went to wash the pots
At last, I can appreciate something,
even while in a High-Mood-Horis
“Sod-Them-All” mood!
