Txt

So last night I txted Ed, who is taking me out today, I said 'See u in the morning.... erm... employee', he txted me back 'At 10AM boss' so...... now we both know where the other stands

Saving JPGs

And it occurred to me today when I go to save a JPG, it says SAVE, below that SAVE AS then bottom SAVE FOR WEB which if you click it, I discovered today, you can adjust various stuff to make the picture file smaller, sometimes 80% lower, but the picture the same size IYSWIM

It's Sh*t

See being this poorly...... (swear swear swear)

Men On The Moon

So I was outside this evening and I noticed a beautiful moon. For some reason I thought "Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin" which it turns out was correct. Very strange and not really relevant but more proof that my memory is getting better

Mañana

Then tomorrow I am meeting the first of MY EMPLOYEES, he's coming here at 10AM and afterwards we are going into Carmarthen shopping etc. It might not sound that exciting but it's the first of my staff who will be making me very busy for the next X weeks

CBS

Well Denyse came in s'morning and listened to me waffling about how excited I was about tomorrow then Nic Cosmos came in from CBS. He looked at my flat now, measured it and door widths etc, and we talked about the place I will wanna buy, what I want/need etc. He seemed quite pleasant but I feel a bit 'done and dusted' now.

Up And At 'Em

So I set my alarm last night as I need to be up in time today. Woke up s'morning, got up then 3/4 of an hour later my alarm clock beeped

Noisy

Shout shout shout

Today I want to attract folks attention and just shout "Look"

Isn't She Beautiful

That Freya came around today and was a bit stroppy but she did apologise soon after.

Later Later Aligator

And that Denyse lass is coming to discuss 'stuff' with me after lunch and we agreed late last night if she can bring 2 new support workers with her so they can see where I live and we can all eat lunch together. She has already warned them that this is a meat free house

Good lord, aargh etc etc. That was strange as she was talking about ways the new staff can help me get a life!!

Double good lord, she brought a new diary for me so that I can transfer dates from my online diary and if people need to come with me they can etc.

I am beginning to get a life again, I haven't had one of those for nearly 8 years but it is starting today

ETB, ETR, MAMHW&W

So last night I, being a rebel, stayed up 'til after 2. This morning I still woke up at 10 to 8

Going Out Tonight

And tonight it is another monthly Headway meeting so at 6.30 tonight I have to go a few doors down and ask for a lift

And WOW wasn't it about me tonight. A professor was talking about loads of research they are doing, mainly into damage of one part of the brain and rather embarrassingly most of my problems seem to be associated with damage there

(quote from an email I wrote tonight)And one of the things the prof was talking about tonight was how folk with a Brain Injury often shout and loose their temper for little or no reason (/qfaeIwt)

Morrisons Supermarket

Well I am off to the shop in a bit, extra long list today, lets see if they sell THOSE too

No, they don't sell 'em but I looked and bought one online after I came back. Everything else off my list I bought except hummus, I forgot half way around the shop. Hopefully someone from here is shopping in the next few days and they can get it for me

Bright and Early

When I went to bed last night I thought "Should I set me alarm clock as my taxi is booked for 10.30 in't morning and I need to be up, dressed, had breakfast by then" . Luckily I didn't, I was still up before 8 o'clock

Banking

And I went to log on to my bank to check my balance, entered my password and memorable information, it said "Wrong". So I checked, tried again still says "Incorrect". I will try it again in't morning and if it still won't work I will have to contact them

Phew, it worked again s'morning, must have ben a temporary problem

Drying

And I did a load of washing this morning, when it came out I thought "Tumble dryer - no, electricity bill and global warming". I wont hang stuff outside, it's too much like hard work so I hung them on a clothes horst in the kitchen, next to a radiator

Old Habits Die Hard

Well this evening I finished the first long, new to me, book that I have read in nearly 8 years. I really enjoyed the story and getting back into reading too. The only problem I have is I can't read in bed as I put my splint on one hand which means I can't hold the book or turn over pages with my right arm. BUT blinking flip, the first book I have read in nearly 8 years. Wedi Gorffen

It occurs to me as I typed this 'read first then put splint on later' so I will have to try that with my new book tonight

And it worked!!! OK, I was too tired to read for more than about 20 minutes but it worked! Then afterwards I was able to put my splint on without having to sit up or anything, so HAPPY CHAPPY

After Shower

ObAnd I did the drying the toes on my right foot with a towel thing afterwards which I am still disproportionally (for most "normal" people) proud of

Shower

So today I did summat that was, by my personal standards, radical. Today I had a shower. I didn't wait 'til tonight, as usual. I didn't shower this morning, my normal second choice. No today I had a shower THIS AFTERNOON. That might seem normal to some of you but not to me at all.

Mine Eyes Have Seen (or not) The Glory Of The Coming...

Oh dear. Last night when I was eating I glanced down at my plate. Just one chip left so I ate my pizza instead. Then I turned my head around slightly and glanced at my plate again. Good lord, there are two chips sitting there, but one is on the RHS in that bit of my vision that doesn't work so well. Yes, that's why I don't have my driving licence, that might have been a pedestrian that I didn't see
