Due to my superbly competent, reliable and assured ability to make repeatedly on a multiple-times-a-day basis; of cocking-up, forget, and make arithmetic errors multiple times a day, I deleted the entire blog three-quarters of the way through the process.
Did I want to cry? Did I use foul language in self-lambasting myself? Well, not at first…
The instant I found that I dished the notes of the day, thinking that I didn’t need them, now, and of course, now needing them… these two Whoopsiedangleplops may well have caused another stroke or heart attack.
Self-loathing, abhorrence, aversion and hatred showed their disgust, and repeated self-cursing did not help.

Without my notes to refer to, I sometimes left me guessing why I took only a few photos.
Reasons, news and points of interest were lost.
Of course I’m doing this Wednesday morning. Making recollections even dimmer and scarcer. Grumph!

A food order arrived…
See how I worked that out?
Large jar of pickles, but why
did I take this snap?

Ah, I remember this… Dear Jenny, my Angel, sent me a draft of everything I need to advise the shrink about tomorrow (now today).
She had amended some things for me and was waiting for my reply to the suggested changes.
I emailed them back, accepting all her ideas; Jenny did a grand job on them and said hubby Frank would bring them up for me. This proves the value of all the help and advice Jenny & Frank give me. Bless them.

Unbeknownst to me, the fire alarm had gone off; I can’t hear it without my hearing aids, and they are both waiting to be booked in for repair.
Frank arrived and told me about the fire alarm, so I took these snaps above…
Poor Frank had to walk up six flights of concrete fire escape stairs to get to me. The lifts self-disable when a fire alarm goes off. I was so appreciative of his help, but felt a smidge of guilt.
I felt genuinely heartwarmed when Frank handed me a packet of wafers and two envelopes containing the list of the four lists of things I have to take to the Psychologist meeting, from Jenny.
So kind and thoughtful; she had made two copies, one envelope for the Doctor, whatever he is, and one for me, printed in larger fonts, so I could follow as the man/woman asks about each needed piece of information. She knew, remembered the cataract and hearing aid loss situation. ❤️
Perfect, great idea, lovely, and kind idea.

The last snap of the few taken.
About 23:00 hrs; the dailymeal..

You been lighting fires again Gerald? 🤣 The ode is a wode, a woe ode, and rightly so, we really are in a mess, I beginning to wonder if we’ll ever get quality leadership again?
The fire escape is no good for you, unless you could roll down it. I can imagine the creative linguistics that followed deleting your blog post. Did you delete it, or did it simply disappear? I make sure I save a draft right after I start a post, because I’ve had posts disappear while in the making and no backup to recover. Very frustrating.
Hi, Tim.
It just happenened to me again. I was at long last caught up enough to get on the reader.
And the Carer came in. I asked him to me a moment to finish it and sbegan tyoing again. In an instant, and a blank page appeared. Well, replaced the editor page. I closed WP, and the page stayed on, no tab! When he’d gone, I opened WP again, got to the comment and all I’d written had gone into the ether. The odd page had gone. Very, frustrating indeed, Tim!
As for CorelDraw, now American owned, can they notstop making changes, with my increased Alsheimer condition, I’m finding it hard to diget anything new. And forgetting the old ones. I could not work out how to change the default taxt yesterday. Did a search for help from CorelDraw – and it was hopeless. Do they think only geniuses use it? I wanted to get the ALL Block letters in artidtic text to turn off. This morning I searched again, and got help from an American living in… New Mexico, no name – was it you?
Hope all going well your end, mate. Cheers.
Wasn’t me, but happy you got some help. With the ever-changing threat from hackers now aided by AI, all software companies are constantly having to update their apps. It’s super frustrating. You are the only Genius I know who still uses CorelDraw. But there must be a lot of users worldwide, given CorelDraw got bought and they are still updating the app. The constant changes to apps cause a lot of problems for a lot of people.
Oh, AI. A real threat. Surely they could, should have see it coming, Tim? Oligarchs heavily involves I read. I’d like to Cancel, but they cut off the services if you do. I read letters on the web from discgruntled users.
And now, Grammarly has packed up on me. Tsk!
Cheers, Tim.
Most apps are subscriptions now. Sad state of affairs.
Iy is, Tim. Sadly. 🐈⬛🐈🐕
Good food arrival for you, Gerry. It’s good that you worked through your difficulties and took those great photos. Jerry and Frank are sure nice to you. The fire alarm going off makes me wonder why it did and hope you’re okay. ❤️🙏
Sorry late replying, Cataract lazering next week.
