Wheeles

So about 9PM I got back in my wheelchair in order to have a shower etc

Walkies

So my wheelchair has been sitting next to my bed all day, and my walking stick is on the back of it. Earlier on I got out my clothes to put on after showering later etc. I will continue walking 'til I have done the dishes etc this evening then I will take my wheel-chair into the bathroom and shower this evening

Still walking 1PM now

After 4.30PM now so I shall have to walk in and make my dinner soon

And it is 5.40PM now and I walked in, walked around while I was preparing, carried ot out on my own two feet and stayed walking while I did my washing up etc

8.35PM still walking

Full Bottom

And yes, I may have used a witty phrase to mean summat else, I don't have a Full Bottom either, I went and had a poo about 30 minutes ago

Printing

So I wanted to print out my shopping list today. But I am too tight to waste a big piece of paper when only about ¼ will be used printing. So I got a piece of paper that was the remains of last weeks printing, only ¾ of a sheet of paper and carefully fed it into the printer and pressed "Print". I waited 30 seconds and there it was printed on the top of the paper which didn't have a full bottom

Healthy, Wealthy, Wise

So last night I went to bed about 11.30. This morning I woke up at 7.00AM and lay there bored until 8.15AM when I got up

Out

Well I went out tonight to The Friends Arms, Johnstown, but tonight I didn't drink pints and Whiskey Macs so my drinking was much slower and I am not drunk as a lord tonight like I was last time I went

Tied Up

I don't know if it's because I am slimmer or just because I feel the need for stuff to be better but today, for the first time ever, I had to tie up the waist of my trousers to make them smaller

Walkies

So ever since I got up this morning I have been walking, standing or sitting in a proper chair. My wheel-chair is still next to my bed

It's 3.05 PM now, still walking

Today I managed to walk to the airing cupboard then walk with an armful to put it all away

I also managed to walk into the kitchen and prepare tonight's dinner, grating, chopping up an onion &c, all it needs now is putting into the oven later

4.30PM now...

5.10PM now, I am heating my dinner

And it was delicious and it is 6.10PM now and I am still walking

6.30PM. I am back in my wheel-chair now as walking was proving a bit scary

Up And At 'Em

So I eventually got up at about 7.50AM s'morning. Having been awake enough to look at my clock at 3.30 and 5.30AM too

Shower

Well, I'm clean and less smelly now

Cleaning Your Dryer

So today I did some tumble drying, afterwards I cleaned out the dryer, emptying the water out of it and cleaning the dust off it's filter etc. Then I thought "Oh", down at the bottom of where the filter fits there was a load of dust that I couldn't reach. I was stuck. So I asked a MOS and he said "Everyone's dryer looks like this - your stuck". So I thought "If only I had a device that could reach it.... HANG ON, I have", got it out and cleaned the dust off my tumble drier

Dieting

So today I had a Brainwave just as I was about to lift my lunch. Usually I have a sandwich followed by salad, today I just made salad sandwiches, no peanut butter, jam, honey etc

Wheeling

So I got up and straight into my wheelchair as I am having another resting day

Cash 2

So my extra money that was supposed to be paid into my account yesterday hadn't shown up. According to my sister they tried to pay it into someone elses account and it bounced. We gave them all my details and they f*c*ed it up

Veggie Burgers

So I walked into the kitchen to try and make veggie burgers for dinner but it all went wonky and had to be thrown away.

Cash

So when my sister was here t'other day I said "Please can't you be my "boss" any more and give me control of my own cash, once I get some from the court, please?". She said "Nah, I might be in charge on paper, but actually the court and various social workers are in charge of your cash"

Up

Well I got up this morning at 7.30AM, got dressed etc and walked into the kitchen to make my breakfast.

Still walking at 11.30AM now...

And I walked into the kitchen and made my own lunch...

3.45PM, still walking...

5.25PM still on my own two feet...

It's after 6PM now, I walked into the kitchen, made my dinner, walked back, ate it and then did the washing up etc on my own 3 feet.

Now I need to wheel' in order to put out my bins etc which I can't walk there and back up the hill while carrying summat

Clean

So I am back in black trousers now as I washed my yellow ones and myself too

Lasagne

And I used the last of last weeks (frozen last night) tomatoey and veg sauce to prepare a Lasagne for me and Freya this evening. It was the first time in 7½ years where I actually boiled the Lasagne sheets before putting them in the mixture, as recommended, so hopefully it will be extra delicious tonight

Mmmm, it was beautiful. And so was Freya even tho she had to leave early today, with some of my cash for a busfare

Morning

Well as I have just about recovered from yesterday I don't feel 3 bad now.

But today I got fed up with my diary being broken that I had to take on summat else instead, this so hopefully it will work from now on
