UberHectic

Then MM said to me today "And there's that comedy club at The Lyric tonight", I said "I think today has been a bit full, I might give it a miss", he said "You have already bought tickets, they are hanging on the wall in't office"

Lordy, that was 95% empty but the few folk gathered at the front all enjoyed it. Including myself. At a guess there were about 40 folk there (max) but we did all laugh and clap

AND I have already bought tickets for  Tues 21st March too, so I hope that is fuller(1) and equally fun

(1) Hopefully King St will be open to traffic again, it was closed tonight so we had to park in the car park at the end and walk along

Hectic Day

So s'morning I have an appointment with my Dr about Diabetes, dunno what they are gonna make of it, it doesn't feel bad so hopefully.....

Then after an early lunch we have to drive miles to see The Physio around Cardiff somewhere to do even more fun

Well yes, s'mornings appt went well. After I had been in the waiting room for about 1 minute she called me, weighed me, took blood pressure etc and was very positive about the diabetes risk. AND she took reference and put me on the toenail cutter list, so some hospital will be in touch at some point to make an appointment to cut my toenails

Well the physio session with Sara was as exciting (and hard work) as usual

Self Control

Then tonight we had to head down to Farmfoods to top up the staff T and coffee and I just walked past, with only a murmur of "I want 17", the big tubs of ice cream. Right past I strode

Gord but it was hard but I managed

Two Dinners

So tonight I was cooking tonight's dinner and making a pot of veg/tomato sos for tomorrow. The casserole cooked quicker than I thought so we could have eaten in tonight except there were spuds baking for tonight so.... but I cooked 2 dinners and didn't even make too much mess

I'm So Happy

Hooray I am so happy being well enuf to go fscking swimming again today.

• Sings and dances a happy song

This sarcasm doesn't suit me

Well, I did it, various stretchy exercises and 8 lengths.
I am getting better at swimming a length then doing summat else,
I used to swim a length then stand still panting for some time, but not now

Colander Free

So last night Timmy was cooking while I was eating mine.  He put some spuds on to boil and I said "Colander in that cupboard" but he said "No, I will just pour them out between saucepan and lid" which has given me a plan to try out tonight.

Except I will pour it over the colander in case I fail and it all spills out of the pan

AND I MANAGED. It was the first time I have poured water off a pan without colandering in about 14 years, I just couldn't manage before

Sound

And I got confused and couldn't figure out how to set different alarm/alert noises but Timmy had to appear sad enuf to know and in he end I got it set to different sounds etc

And I finally figured out how to make new links open in a new window too, my PC used to do it but I changed the search engine and couldnt change this to the new settings.... dun now

Noisy Machine

And today's treat in the kitchen is listening to the washy machine washing very noisily

Panto

Lordy. So s'afternoon after Sam's class we came str8 back and I got ready for bath/nap. I woke up and GGtGG spent 10 or 20 minutes doing various creams then I went into the kitchen and started cooking. We ate, didn't have time for pudding or to wash up just headed straight out to theatre, parked, walked in and as I was having a pee before sitting down a speaker said "2 minutes to show".

And it was excellent, well entertaining and after we came back someone had to do the washing up.

Lordy, talk about just having enough time to do what we needed to do.....

And it occurs to me morning after that I just sat down in a proper persons, normal, seat and at the end I just stood up again, no problem, I don't require assistance nowadays

I Could Walk Again

And in my weekly class I had mastered that walking thing again, the one I hadn't been able to do for a couple of days. So Timmy was right when he said yesterday "Dunno, perhaps throw away these FES pads. They don't feel too bad but it might be..."

Well the rest of the class was as much of a challenge as ever but as Sam said "You didn't used to be able to do this..."

Scared/Pleased/Aargh

So today I will have my only class of the week with Sam. I hope that I am well enuf, that my cold has gone. Then later I need to cook bang on time because immediately after dinner time we are heading to Llanelli to see the Panto

Not Bad

So on the list of things I need to order from the docs occasionally I added "Pressure stockings" which are relatively new. OK, the writing isn't excellent but I am a bit impressed with how legible it is, written with my right hand

Tomorrow

And I was looking at my diary for tomorrow and WTF's going on?

Then Again

Then after bath/nap/sleep I called Timmy into the kitchen and started rearranging stuff between cupboards, so the stuff that I couldn't see/reach in one of the bottom cupboards is now up where the mugs and glasses were and vice versa. So the bottom cupboard was "full" with stuff being out of site whereas now the new food cupboard is only half full so I can top it up as I buy new stuff

And I deleted the buy new free standing cupboard link that I have had for 2 or 3 weeks now

Then

After we brought the food here and put it away etc we popped off to gym. I said to Timmy "Not on the bike for an hour, I am still too fscked" he said "That 20 minute normal cycle interspersed with 30 sec full out goes every couple of minutes". I thought "Sh*t" but just went ahead and did it, it was fine.

Although after the first ultra fast go I had to stop and take my blue asthma inhaler, the one I haven't needed to use for several months now

Timmy Busy Morning

So soon after Timmy came in and as soon as he had finished gossiping with GGtGG he came and did my feet etc, fitted the FES then we went off to Cafi Iechyd Da to fetch an enormous box of veg that was delivered there. From there we popped to Morrisons where I bought the rest of my weeks shopping

Not Running

And my runny nose seems to have dried up overnight. I am still a bit sniffly but 95% better today

Gord, well I have been out of bed for an hour and a half and just one tissue was used about 20 mins ago. I am half breathing in and out thru my nose too today

Lordy lets hear it for those anti-flu jabs, the ones I objected to on so many levels but I think I would be still in bed just getting up to having proper flu as opposed to almost got better from cold

AND I am noticeably cheerfuller s'morning, according to GGtGG

Quiet Day

So today I am just sitting about here not feeling very well. I am not as bad as yesterday/last night, just feel a bit sh*t.

But because of this I feel a bit grumpy and unhappy, this makes it harder finding that life thing

Blood Tester

Then we had to go to the Drs for a blood test s'morning. So I have to go back to the docs next week to the diabetes clinic but we needed the blood test first.

But I am impressed, during the whole operation she was talking to GGtGG and it didn't hurt. She took 3 or 4 samples in less than a minute

Less Bad But Still Snotty

So my cold is 18 times better than it was last night but still runny nose etc
