Broken sleep, wake-ups delivered (that I recall) from Twitching-Neck-Ted, Shaking-Shoulder-Shirley, and with Acid-Reflux-Fred on last awakening, I assume that must have had nocturnal Seizures.
By the time I rose, detached the night catheter bag, and visited the Porcelain Throne, Carer Ejaz was coming in.
Very oddly, Ejaz told me I was all over the place and not talking usually. How did I not know this? Once the idea lodged in my nut, it became apparent I was meandering mentally and physically. Odd, this was!
He got me to sit down, and it was obvious he was right. My balance was terrible, and Ejaz wanted to call for help. He issued the medications, but didn’t do any creaming or foaming, as I wished to get the ablutions done. With the lad’s caring nature and activities, within five minutes, I felt much more transparent, aware, and better balanced. I do occasionally have mornings like this, but I’ve always been aware of how I felt, but not this morning. I think the new medication could be affecting me, because out-of-mornings are getting more regular since starting the Ezetimibe tablets. Also, the urine has darkened appreciably. Both are on the long list of side effects. And maybe the ‘make you feel more tired & drained’, too?
I stripped and went off to the wet room for a scrub-up.
The shave produced just one teeny-weeny cut, and the after-shave soon stopped it. But afterwards, I realised that I’d not done an outstanding job of shaving. Trouble is, the hair I had was blonde, but now it is almost a transparent white. I felt it, but could not see it in the mirror. Could cataract Katie have been the cause? Or Peripheral Pete? I lost the plot again!
Got the teeth done, but
was annoyed. Putting it mildly. Body scrub, and got on with, the
. Well, here I could get at.
Olive oil, the earholes, eye drops, spray, and cream
. Got the hearing aids in.
Then put some foam on
, with the aid of the Short-Picker-Upper-Unwin.
Got a khagoul and dressing gown on, and went on the computer. I was well and truly behind with the blogging again, Humph! As per usual nowadays.
I took a break after an hour or so to take several photos of the morning view. Which were to appear here. Had I not left the Kodak-Tim-2 SD card in the computer slot last time I used it? But they were not very good.
GOOD & BAD LUCK: Then I set out to find the long-missing MS Word lists… wait for it…
And I found one, well, two! Miraculous! There’s always a but – But, it got so convoluted during the searching in files that I knew nothing about, I’ll be ganged if I can find it again to retrieve the other one that was hidden in the maze of confusing sections of the computer.
They were both old ones, one from 2004, the other from 2014. So I opened the 2014 one, to find that it had not been alphabetised. That was it for the next four hours. I was so overjoyed to find and upload it. Although it hasn’t been sorted, it has dampened the
spirits a smidge. But I was determined to make a start on it. Four hours later, I had to stop; time and mental fatigue had caught up with me. It was an enormous file, and I think I’d only done about 10% of it, if that much. Yet still had an admittedly diminished joy at finding it in the first place. I was sort of Semi-Smug, now.
Then lost heart a little further. When I couldn’t get back to where I’d found the files, more time was lost.
I couldn’t remember where I’d found them earlier. them. History searched, then realised it would not be on the internet anyway. During this failed farting about, many things happened.
Carer called, got another Warfarin dosage through the post. Ejaz did the creaming and foaming of areas I could not reach earlier.
In between, I did take some pictures.
But mainly of the views
First one.
Later…

Colourful.

Beautiful series of photos. The meal looked better than it scored.
The extra gravy I made & sdded let the meal down. Cheers, Tim.
Great photos, Gerry! I hope you can figure out finding your words and have a decent Wednesday.
You certainly made an interesting fall, landing on your belly that way. Good job done on finding more of your words, kind Sir! Glad that Ejaz showed up at exactly the right moment to get you upright again.
Ah, Bless you Sir Billum. Ejaz saved the day again. He’s a good lad. Cheers.
