Odd Shop

So after fixing the internet me and Timmy nipped to Morrison's, then to Tesco's as they had run out there.... So t'other day Timmy was discussing my diet with Denyse and she was a but insistent "More protein" so we were looking for a selection of mini cheese treats which we did find in Tesco. So 2 mouthfuls and it's gone but I need it every day, apparently

Hectic Day

So today we have a technician coming to fix my 'chair, to put some "prevent it falling backwards" equipment.

Concurrently Timmy will be fitting the new wire on the internet, so it will be even faster...

 So the 'chair fixer arrived at 9 s'morning, fiddled about said "Nah" and arranged to try again next week

Then

Then we went to swimming pool. I had as much fun as usual but it is incredible how much progress is being made in this getting better malarkey

Out

So s'morning we started by going to the doctors and picking up my script, then walking across the way and down to the chemist. Waited 20 mins then left, with a bagfull of medicine. IIRC it is the first time that I didn't use my 'chair for any part of the journey, I walked all of it.

Then we drove to Aardvark where again I walked from car to shop and just picked up some pasta sauce, as Freya is coming tomorrow when Timmy will be here who doesn't eat my food, and I cooked some last week and put half the chopped up veg into the freezer, so everything else is here, ready

Force Of Habit

So I am travelling about in my wheelchair as it's evening. So I zoom about with my right foot stuck out in front and propel with my left foot. But NO, my right foot works now, I should be using it. But force of habit....

That's What It Is

And while we were out we were passing loads and loads of a flower that I asked Timmy(?) if he recognised it t'other day and he said "No", but tonight as I was with Alex, and he said "Horses like it, it's called Hedge Parsley (1)" (as he feeds his wife's horses so knows about that). According to the interweb it can also be called Cow Parsley so they must like a nibble of it too

(1) Amongst other things e.g. Queen Anne's Lace

Oot For A Drive

And we nipped out for a drive. Turned off the main road, turned off again, I have no idea where we were but it looked good. And the rain stopped there too

What A Morning

So first of all we went to the hospital and drove round and round the car park and couldn't find a space.

So we drove off to gym. And got there too early so it was full of schoolkids having lessons. But pushing between them I managed 4 weight machines and a 20 min cycle

Then we tried hospital again, it was much quieter by now so we managed a parking spot and went in to cue for the blood sampler. Eventually he saw me, had some trouble finding a vein again, but succeeded in taking my samples which will be sent off to the testosterone Dr.

The Internet

Megaweb, suddenly out of the blue tonight

Hooray

And we are nipping to t'pool today.......

And strangely enuf, I did various exercises first then Timmy said "Breast stroke action, like we did last week", I was puzzled but in the end with a weight/float in each hand and my legs just doing a front crawl action, with a support round my chest I did not one, not two but 3 lengths trying to make my arms move strangely sideways (noisy link)

Maps

Just been looking at Google Maps around Carmarthen and it is just WOW, how posh can computer software be, holds so much information....

Dinner Tonight

So we are having my usual Saturday dinner tonight, roasted veg, as we had the first pasta I have had in years last night

Fark, I love that dinner, it was delicious.....

Bruising

And while we were out in the daylight Paul said "Good lord, a bruise on your head" and yes, there is one just to the left of my mohawk from t'other night

Out

So s'morning Paul came in and handed over. Then he made a cuppa and passed me a pack of Oreo Cookies which were rather nice. Then we nipped off to Morrison's and did my weeks shopping, very little was required, but we did notice that the Go Bars (healthy snack) were half price so I brought 7 packets home instead of the one per week I normally eat

Falling Backwards

And it is still astounding me, t'other night when I fell over I was able to get myself back up, from on the floor to on my feet with no problem

Micro Sleep

So I woke up s'morning at about a quarter past seven, thought "No, too early to get up" and lay there. I was thinking gord nose what and next time I looked at my watch it said 7.35 then at 7.37 thinking "I will get up at 8 as normal". Next time I looked at my watch it said 8.15, I must have micro slept the last half an hour

Haven't Made This For Ages

So for dinner tonight I asked Ed "Roast veg or pasta?" and he replied "Pasta" so I got stuck into chopping veg and grating cheese etc and even tho I haven't made it for ages it was reasonably lovely.

AND I have got half the veg I chopped in the freezer now so it will be even easier next time

Ache

And I feel a bit wonky s'morning but no bruises from my fall over last night.

I think, on reflection, that GGtGG had to rearrange the room and pick up my wheelchair etc but I was more than capable of picking myself off the floor, which I wouldn't have expected myself to be able to do, so perhaps I am less fscked than I give myself credit for

Fell Over

Well after being so drunk that....... tonight..... I went to the loo, had a crisis, fell over backwards...... had a MOS pulling..... I said "Do it like this" and managed, I was scared but managed..... got back up on my feet

Out

So we went up to't pub but Jo (the neigbour) didn't show up
