Inchy Today: Mon/Tue 1/2nd June 2026 Fare Thee Well 🌸

I see today more political baseness,

A lack of moral principles, sordidness,
Boastfulness, bluffness, & bluntness,
Bamboozlers, bankrollers, beguilers, belittlers,

More backstabbers, backhander, backsliders,
Churlishness, clandestineness, contemptuous,
Violence, slaughter, governmental bloodshedders,

Β Deceptiveness, detestableness,
Can our rulers not see Earth’s finiteness?
In the citizenry, fear, contagious distress,
Hopes, needs, turning into illusoriness,
Proletariats, once. quite tenacious…
Exist, survive, but are trepidacious,
Who can we blame for this tragicalness?
My forecast may well not be the zaniest,
The end of days, of earthliness…

part of the real, inherent adscititious…

Earthlings will miss the end of the Universe…
As it implodes, collapses…

Well, that’s my synopsis!

Hope for the future…
To please, please I beg, mend my computer,
Help with the bank account dwindling disaster,
A miracle with my kidneys, & blocked Catheter…
Penal Fungal Cut, before they getΒ painfuller,
To stop leaving the tap on & the cooker,
To stop taking tumbles,Β 
Slow down, to have fewer seizures,
These needs, how do I conjure?
I think life’s getting cruddier.

On Tuesday, I can’t type in Notepad; it deletes letters after the ones I’m typing. CorelDraw is still not allowing me to import, export, or perform at least 18 other actions that are blacked out. The Computer warning beeps from the hard drive are back again. I’ve got the trots.

Β TUESDAY: I am so frustrated. Can’t even open a new template. No reply from the calls and emails to the computer man for help. Β£850 quid plus fitting. He must be so busy.Β 

Hour extra visit: No body check, Catheter comfort check. No cleaning done. No mail help. No floors mopped, or food date checks. Bored on mobile.Β 

Frustrated, depressed, and have had enough!

This computer is the only thing that keeps me going. Now it doesn’t, though I believe it’s not my fault. Notebook, the internet, and the keyboard, I think, are all giving me problems typing. The internet keeps going down. No help.

Help is unavailable with the banking problems.

The promised help with getting the new wheelchair was promised in November last year. Bought six months ago, it had not been brought into a usable condition.

Oxicodone could be my way out?

Tried to ring 111 for mental help, I felt I needed it.
I rang 111, feeling I needed help, as I am having dark thoughts, and needed it.
The phone didn’t work. The Carer had knocked the 2nd unit off the hook while putting the Hoover away. I replaced it and rang 111. The very thought of going through the Robot options was making me feel worse. These are the reasons for my bank. Virgin and British Gas problems, which, along with the Computer ones and the Catheter ones, made me forget about it, and I rang off. I wish I’d stayed on now. Confused, fed-up, and no idea what to do.
Other than adopt my dark thoughts. If I don’t ring, I’ll get no help, but that leaves me where I started.

Fret not if I do get the courage, I’ll be depression, frustration and worry-free. I write this out of desperation, knowing I’m a coward and will surely suffer on longer.

Cheerio. Bless you all.

    So agree with the ode, it seems that whoever opened that jar has taken the lid off years of hidden games and corruption.

      I wonder, and the mind wanders. Will we see the end?
      The gypsy fortune teller told Dad that I would… the end had better get a mce on…Mind you, the world leaders are doing their best, I suppose.
      Grrr!

    We’re the same age, Gerry, so we’re both suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune … or something like that. Haha!! Thursday, I visit the dentist for an inflamed gum. At least, I’ve had those mercury fillings removed. LOL. Wish us luck, Inch!
