Showering

It occurred to me s'morning, as I felt too rough to have a shower last night that for most people it's relatively easy but for me walking a bit with no splint, washing my back etc then getting dried and dressed makes it into a tiring stressful event

Grubby

And I was supposed to have a shower tonight but I feel so strange after a busy day and night that I think I'd better leave it 'til tomorrow

Clock

So I was in my room today with the MOS who was changing my alarm mobile etc. He said "Which plug is your mobile?" I pointed" he removed it but instead it was my new alarm clock that went black in the screen. We said "Whoops/No Neil" etc then plugged it back in, and because it had a battery as well as plug the time came on correctly, no need to reset it again

Tai Chi

And I thought "Oh no, Tai Chi but I am exhausted after such a busy day" but I need to learn to do more than one thing in a day. It feels good to have decided that, so heress hoping for tonight now

Excellent, it went well, I feel good again now

Out And About

Well. Gosh. (Bang, bang, chop, chop) Busy (Busy, Work, Work)

So today I had 5 hours with my new Support Worker, Ed. Gosh, what a day we had. Firstly we went to that Tesco's place where I bought a New Phone as my old one was getting wonky. And my new phone was really cheap as I just want a simple phone, not camera, internet etc. He sent me 2 txts afterwards and I was able to delete them both at once, which my old phone had not being doing for a while. While we were there we purchased some Guinness as it is St Patrick's Day today. Afterwards we came back here, got my new phone charged and working with my existing SIM card (so the same number), I had some lunch, then we headed off to look for furniture. Three flipping places we looked to no avail. We went to a Charity Shop to give them my old phone. And if I had had to get a Taxi for every journey I would have spent 20 or 30 quid just on those today

So gosh yes, we had a good day, no time to look for cars but we will probably do that on Monday after shopping. Oh ObAnd he cleaned my kitchen floor which I tried to do t'other night but then every time I went back in the kitchen my wheel's were making a mess, but today we went out, so the floor was dry by the time I got back

ObAnd(2) and I scanned and emailed the first of his monthly "pay me" sheets, he took a copy to post too, it needs to be done on this date every month, so he had a small claim this month

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
