Wednesday 28th August 2019

Mornin' all!

Steve's cousin put up a couple of video's of the puppy last night and I've hopefully worked out how to put last week's video up too!  Just gonna code and upload the three video's then I'll take me supplements ready for the PIP lady coming out.  My anxiety levels have skyrocketed in the last 24 hours because I'm so worried about it!
***

Just remembered that there's a server migration until 8am so can't upload them yet... hopefully I'll remember when it's been sorted though!
***

Morning prescription and supplements taken.  Thankfully it was a reasonably easy morning to take them today.  Gotta remember to ask the doc about taking the Calcium with the OAB prescription too 'cos my body is screaming out for it since stopping it 3 weeks ago!
***

PIP assessor has been and gone and our internet connection has been down since about 9am so I'm using Steve's mobile data atm.  Not happy about it, but I'm gonna publish this and start a new post when our connection is back up.

BBS I hope!
***

Nobody read this blog post before our internet, phone and telly came back, so I'll just carry on where I left off.  Currently downloading almost 10 hours worth of emails lol
***

Taken me three nightly prescriptions, so just waiting for them to kick in now!
***

Taking bets on what time I'll wake up tomorrow morning.  I took my pills at about 7.30pm so I'm guessing I'll be up at about 7.30am 🕢 tomorrow... place your bets now!

I'm off to bed now.

Nite nite orl.

Tuesday 27th August 2019

I'm still missing the puppy dog... the house doesn't feel like a home without her!
***

Time for me first prescription and me three supplements now.
***

All four pills went down pretty easily today, thankfully.  My anxiety is starting to increase about tomorrow though.  😟
***

Burgers and sauce for lunch today... yumsk.

Gonna shut down until I've had them.  BBS!
***

Back now... nice and full without being stuffed this time, so I think we've found the right combination for the burgers now.
***

Just had someone from the PIP assessment calling about tomorrow, just to check everything ready for tomorrow.  She told me the lady's name (that's coming tomorrow) twice, but I've already forgotten what it is!  Oops!

Gonna have a read of the PIP form again and I've gotta try and remember to give her my GP's letter and leaflet about my physical disability diagnosis and let her know about my new diagnosis (the OAB one) and extra prescription that I've started taking since the form was filled out and sent off.
***

My anxiety is going through the roof already... might have to resort to the coconut milk if this carries on and this lady doesn't come close to the earliest time of the appointment window!!
***

Clearing the browser cache's ready for tomorrow morning's virus scan.
***

That's my Tuesday evening routine done.  Just gotta remember to take my evening prescriptions now!
***

Prescriptions all taken, so I'm fully dosed up for the evening now.
***

Not tired yet, but I'm gonna shut down and head to bed now.

Nite nite orl 🛌😴

Monday 26th August 2019

Mornin' all

Been awake since 2am 😮

Came down at 7am and booted up my machine, Steve dosed her up and I walked her... it's Monday so it was our weekly marathon today, she wee'd and poo'd for the first time since she's been home this week!!

Currently uploading a short, close up video of the puppy then I'll take me supplements.
***

Running total of the day, at 9am is four video's and a photo that are already up on my homepage.

Time for me supplements now.
***

Supplements done and dusted for the day.  Nice and easy again, thankfully.
***

That's the recycling been and gone, waiting for the rubbish to go now, then that's it for another week.  At least our street was remembered this week!  😄
***

Rubbish has just been collected and I've taken another 2 videos of the senior puppy so as soon as they've finished uploading to YouTube, I'll code them into my homepage again.
***

The puppy's just gone again!  😢

The love in the house is noticeably shrinking!! 😭

Missing her soooo much and she's only been gone for a couple of minutes 🐶💔
***

Having to resort to a Chocochino ☕ to stem the bleeding from my broken heart 💔... double my usual amount too!  She's been gone for about 20 minutes and my mood is back through the floor again  😞
***

Just bought another 4 domain names, to take the current total up to 11 domain names - that's the OCD for you though!
***

Shopping has been and gone already!  Steve thinks it was the same bloke that refused to help us last time Marie couldn't come over (a couple of Mondays ago) but he can't be 100% sure... if it *was* the same driver, maybe his boss had a word in his shell-like 👂 after my feedback to them on the Tuesday morning via their survey?

Time for my evening prescriptions now!
***

They all went down nice and easily!  Still got half a bottle of squash left too, which will hopefully see me through the morning dosing tomorrow!

Time to do the first receipt uploading now, before I forget.
***

All done!  I don't need to take a separate photo, only within the app and it's easy to do double-sided receipts too, thankfully!  One of the apps only does food purchases and consumption outside the home, so I'm gonna get rid of that one and just use Shoppix instead.
***

Heading to bed now... nite nite orl!

Sunday 25th August 2019

Mornin' all!

The puppy walked me 700% this morning, which is a weeks worth of walks in just one morning so Monday's usual marathon and yesterday's percents are all extra's!

Time to code the walking webpage then take me supplements now.
***

That's the webpage sorted, so time to have a cookie (for my prescription) and swallow my morning four pills.
***

That's the pills all down the hatch now, so I'm all dosed up until this evening now.
***

Just taken 5 photo's of the puppy actually looking at the camera in 4 of them, so they'll be coded and uploaded soon.
***

We've just taken the rubbish and recycling out.  Definitely one of our better, less stressful weeks this week.

Time to get on with the photo's now.
***

The photo's and video are up now... go and take a peek!
***

Gotta remember to write to the Neurologist I saw in hospital to see if there's any way to improve my cruddy memory and maybe repair even a tiny bit of the brain damage.  It's permanent, I know that, but I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I didn't at least try!
***

That's the letter written and ready to post next week... hopefully either Marie or my FIL will post it for me next week, 'cos there's no way I can get to the postbox despite it being less than 50 metres away from the house 'cos even getting to the end of the street is impossible alone!
***

***

Taken, coded and currently uploading another 5 photo's of the puppy dog... she's actually awake in all of them again!! 🤣
***

Prescriptions taken already!  Having a plastic glass of G&T then heading to bed early tonight methinks.  Just hope I don't forget about already dosing myself up when my alarm goes off on my phone.
***

Heading to bed now.  🛌  Nite nite orl.  😴

Saturday 24th August 2019

The puppy's coming home for the weekend again today!  Yaaaaaay!  Can't wait!  She's got more Thyroid pills, but Steve's cousin (the vet nurse) thinks it's only about £10 so I'll phone up and pay that as soon as I've taken my supplements.
***

That's the OAB morning dose and me supplements swallowed, so I'm all set for the day now.
***

£9.37 ain't bad for her two prescriptions that's pennies over a single human prescription!
***

The puppy's homeeeeeeeee!!!!

She's really coming along in leaps and bounds! 

Steve's just taken a couple of photo's of her with my mobile, so I'm gonna add them to my homepage.

Got a 1:36 minute-long video that I'll put up too... brb!
***

Another video uploading.  I'll code and upload it as soon as I can.  Gonna take her for a walk after that... bless her little heart!
***

That's the puppy walked for the first time this weekend and she's had her lunch too.... just gotta remember to add it to the spreadsheet now!
***

Spreadsheet has been sorted and I've washed my hands.  Need to do it tomorrow too then do all the dappy admin on my phone ready for Monday's walkies.
***

That's me and the puppy dosed up and our senior baby girl fed her last meal of the day so we can relax now until the morning.
***

Just taken a third video of the puppy and she's awake again in this one!

And a fourth video.  She's awake in both of them, so I'll code and upload those then I'm thinking I'll publish this and head for bed... BBS!
***

That's today's updates sorted and I've had me pills and sorted out my remaining five cookies ready for the morning, so I'm gonna publish this then head to bed.

Nite nite orl!  🛌💤

Friday 23rd August2019

Just asked Steve to get my OAB pills when we go and see the doc on Friday morning 'cos I just don't feel safe stepping on and off the bit and the slopey bit would be even worse.

I've also been asking him, since Tuesday, to move the "old" pop bottles to under his perching stool and the "new" pop bottles back in their place.  He didn't, so I did that myself too.  Even on a week where we leave the house (the ultrasound and hair cutting since the start of the month), we haven't made it in to double figures total this month, yet he's being paid for 35 hours of care a week.  Assuming the PIP assessment takes 5 hours (it won't, apparently it'll take an hour tops) and the doc appointment takes 2 hours (even though the appointment is only for 10 minutes), that'll mean I've had 10 hours of care in a month instead of 35 hours a week!!
***

OAB pill and supplements swallowed.  The OAB and Iron pills both went down really easily, but the B12 and Multi were slightly harder to get down, but all four of my morning pills have been taken now.
***

Been doing surveys all day.  Managed to finish a grand total of two of them again lol  Time for me prescriptions now though!
***

That's the prescriptions sorted and I want an earlyish night, so as soon as my mobile has finished charging I'll shut down and head to bed.  Just a short blog post today  😊
***

That's me phone charged up, so I'm shutting down and heading to bed now.

Nite nite orl 😴💤

Thursday 22nd August 2019

Still free of viruses, so time for the backups now.
***

Backups started.  Remembered not to back up the App Data folder so hopefully it'll all work first time this week!

Gonna take me supplements while that's going on.
***

Remembered to eat a banana before swallowing my morning prescription so that I don't throw up.  The B12 misbehaved, but other than that all four pills went down nice and easily again.
***

The external hard drive is getting "repaired" by Windows so I can't do anything with the backups while that's happening 😒😣
***

Gave up on the repair, started the back-up going again.  Currently 3 hours 45 minutes estimated for my documents folder to back up lol
***

Just waiting for my documents folder to back up now... gone up to 6 hours 30 minutes now though lol
***

Backups have finally finished!  Yaaaay!  All sorted for another week  😄
***

Burger patties and roast tatties for lunch today 😋  Gonna shut down now so that I can cool the battery down and put my laptop on the floor.

BBS!
***

Waaaay too much lunch!!  lol

We both wasted food (Steve one potato and me two) and we're both totally stuffed now but at the beginning of the month we would have polished off the same amount and been nicely full so the physical organ of each of our stomach's must have physically reduced in the last three weeks!  So proud of us both for reducing our portion sizes and hopefully our internal stomachs too.  We both need to (I'm overweight and Steve's clinically obese) so we're definitely heading in the right direction now!
***

I love ginger beer!  Within 5 minutes of opening the can and drinking a couple of mouthfuls, I wasn't feeling like I was going to throw up any more!  Ginger beer is ace!
***

Just added tonic water with lime to Monday's grocery shop just to see what it's like.  I know for sure that I don't like G&T now!  Relieved that it was only £3.99 for the delivery of the G and 45p for the T!

Time to line my stomach and then take my prescriptions.
***

That's me prescriptions taken for another evening.  Just waiting for the second AP to disolve then I'm gonna shut down and head to bed for hopefully an early night.
***

Off to beddy-byes now... bet I'll still be awake at 10pm though lol

Nite nite orl 😴💤

Book review: "The whole world is under control of the Evil one" by Flaminio Ranzato

"The whole world is under control of the Evil one" by Flaminio Ranzato

⭐ out of 5

Oh dear me.

Literally the only reason I can find to give this book such a positive rating is that it's a quick (as in 20 pages), free read.

It's about Christianity and Satan to start with, it isn't very well researched and, I personally reckon, if it wasn't free then the author is all set for a criminal record 'cos they can't even get the basic way to address royalty correctly and this is copied and pasted straight from the book: Officer of the Order of the British Empire by the queen of the United Kingdom Elizabeth. and they've talked about Paganism as a cult rather than a religion, which offended me as a Pagan on top of quoting just one thing in Paganism completely wrongly.

If you want to waste a couple of hours and are prepared to be offended then don't say I didn't warn you.

Wednesday 21st August 2019

Mornin' all.

I've just threatened Steve with Trading Standards yet again so he's got until 30th September to come up with the pages and software in 1 month and 9 days or I really will be contacting Trading Standards about it.  He quoted 10 weeks for £1500 and by the end of September, the reality will be over £2000 and 6 months which is taking the piss by anyone's standards.  I've also paid him in advance instead of on delivery like the other people, so I'm not happy about that either.  He's already said that he can't afford to refund the money so tough shit if he doesn't produce the goods at the end of September!  He'll have to take out a loan to pay me back or something!
***

Time for me morning prescription and supplements now.
***

All four pills are now down the hatch.  Reasonably easily this morning, thankfully.
***

The virus scan is progressing nicely.  It's at 5% atm, as always, but hopefully it'll be finished in the early hours of tomorrow morning then I can do the back-ups as soon as I come down.  Need to remember not to do the AppData folder so that I don't get stressed out again.
***

Just brushed me teeth and Steve replaced the brush for me 'cos I couldn't pull it off the electric toothbrush.  My mouth feels a lot cleaner and fresher now lol
***

Our recycling, cardboard and food waste is currently being collected... only 48 hours late lol
***

Just done a survey about a variety of crisp brands... can't remember what I was supposed to do today, so gonna keep doing surveys until I remember!
***

Spent all afternoon taking surveys and I've just taken my three evening prescriptions, so I'm gonna take one more survey that I started before taking them, then head to bed.
***

Completed a grand total of 3 surveys this afternoon and me prescription side effects are kicking in, so I'm off to bed.

See you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl!  💤

Tuesday 20th August 2019

Mornin' all.

I miss our puppy!!  😧

Steve's cousin sent a photo and short video on Facebook last night and Steve said she's given me permission to put them up on my homepage, so I'm gonna go for a wee, take me pills then put them up!
***

That's me morning prescription and 3 supplements taken, so just need to find a way to save the photo and video from last night so that I can put it on the page now.
***

One evening, a bird-lover stood in his backyard and hooted like an owl and an owl called back to him!  They had a whole "conversation."  He tried it again the next night, and the next and the owl always answered.  He was fascinated.  Sometime later his wife had a chat with her next door neighbor. "My husband spends his nights calling out to owls," she said.

"That's odd," the neighbor replied. "So does my husband."

Just then it dawned on them.
***

Just paid for Mitzi's treatment again... she's back on the anti-biotics and the vet is happy with her progress so that's reassuring and it was under £20 for the anti-biotics this time which is £120 less than her last couple of bills!  lol

She's priceless to us though so we'd find the money no matter what the price was - she's worth every penny to me and it's all part and parcel of having a senior puppy with a thyroid that's going/gone wrong!

Love you Mitzi and thank you Helen and SPA vets!
***

Just reported the missed collection of recycling, cardboard and food waste and apparently someone will be out to collect it between 7am and 5pm tomorrow.  They are usually really good, but they're only human so things will slip through the net occasionally I guess, so I can forgive them  😉
***

That's my browser caches being cleared ready for tomorrow's virus scan... good job I set those reminders up in my email programme, 'cos I'd totally forgotten!
***

Evening prescriptions taken.  Run out 2 weeks today then I've got another month's worth too, so I'm sorted until the end of September now and I'm happy with the doses keeping me nice and stable and sane, so don't want to mess with them any more than is strictly necessary for a while at least.

Want an early night tonight though, so I'm gonna publish this and shut down for the night now.

Nite nite orl!  💤
