Thank you. So far a very good day indeed. 6 monthly bladder cancer check all clear and all handled as smoothly as possible. Private hospital doing NHS checks. No entry without thorough sanitising and wearing one of their masks. As I already had 2 on I ended up wearing 3.
Yes I felt a bit flu-ish last night with chills and shivers and my hands and feet were freezing in bed so I dug out the old hot water bottle ... felt quite sick early this morning but since having something to eat I am starting to feel better so hopefully I am over the worst of it. My body has defo reacted to it so hopefully built up some immunity
I do know what this is like @RFSMarchI have NO guaranteed income and am living hand to mouth and have been since the summer. For anyone who has been in this situation then you know how it feels and more importantly HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. So while it may well turn around, right NOW I am in a deep dark hole.
Not a bad work of art you would have no idea you were working with damaged tools. Pleased Popeye is OK. Hug. For missing finger print, now is your chance to misbehave so there may be some benefits from the accident with the knife.Fbg 8.5
But, that's not quite right (in a sense because I took it somewhere between the below activity), as I woke in the night at 2.30 am when Popeye got off my chest where he had been sleeping, because I needed the bathroom. Went back to bed, gave up at 3 am, and went to make a cuppa. Checked on Popeye who had made an igloo (as he does) at night if he has gone to sleep on the couch. But he was very still, cold, and I couldn't rouse him. The only bit of warmth was at his rear end. And I am thinking what is the last part of your body that still retains warmth...
So I got another blanket, turned the heating up a notch (the radiator is next to him), and sat besides him with my hand on his body to see if I could get him warm again. Over an hour later the heat was going up his body, back up to his head which was now warm. So, I put my blanket over him (it is very lightweight) and went for a quick shower. Then the bathroom door pushed open and Popeye is looking at me wondering why I have put his cat tray outside the bathroom door, and his eyes widen in horror with this water pouring all over me. So, I think all is well for today at least.
I had to wrap my finger in plastic before the shower as yesterday I had been cutting tomatoes for my lunch, and I had picked up a brand new sharp knife (my spare) without realising, and I sliced the fingerprint part of my first left finger almost off. Instantly I grabbed kitchen towel, pressed it back together (my first thought was how do I unlock my Android as that is the fingerprint recognition for it?!?). Quite a bit of blood. But mixed up with tomatoes. I didn't want to eat after that. And so I never ate yesterday. Instead I went out to my thatched swing, it was a cold cloudy day, but I wanted cold fresh air. And I promptly fell asleep! I woke up to a cold cup of tea in my hand, which was tilting the tea out to the ground, and within a metre of me was Mrs Blackbird on a branch staring me in the face. I have no idea what she was thinking, but her eyes were not regarding me as an enemy, almost like looking at me with concern. So, I sat still, and Mrs Blackbird watched me. Then I got up, and she flew away.
So, this morning I didn't feel too good, I am assuming it was because I didn't eat yesterday. I don't normally eat in the early hours, but I went and cooked a couple of eggs. And Popeye came back to bed with me and we got another couple of hours of sleep in.
I took my blood glucose again. It had gone up to 10.1. I give up.
The ravens are on my cherry trees again. They are making a heck of a racket. All the different pairs, and flocks of birds are visiting. I don't normally have my cochlear speech processor in this early, but I put it on because of Popeye. They have just flown off. And a pair of Magpies have taken their place, and one of the Magpies is making a racket, I can see his beak going, and his aggressive body language in the direction the ravens have flown (which looked like back to the ancient woods).
My painting was done while I was sitting with Popeye earlier. My injured finger kept getting in the way, because I was trying to wedge the iPad, and one hand on Popeye, and using my fingers on the other hand to paint with (I can't hold a digital pen well with my arthritis, so fingers are easy to use to do a digital painting).
I was looking at some photos again, and the last time I saw and held my English grandchildren was on Crosby beach where the hundred statues are, one sunset. But my fingers were a bit clumsy painting this, and kept slipping. I was doing the statue in a puddle of water, as many, of them are. And my finger slipped and it began to look a little like the Casper David Friedrich painting with the man in a frock coat on a rocky outcrop ...
I gave up, so here it is.
Time for a cuppa and a meditation...

Good news on your checkup.Thank you. So far a very good day indeed. 6 monthly bladder cancer check all clear and all handled as smoothly as possible. Private hospital doing NHS checks. No entry without thorough sanitising and wearing one of their masks. As I already had 2 on I ended up wearing 3.
Not a bad work of art you would have no idea you were working with damaged tools. Pleased Popeye is OK. Hug. For missing finger print, now is your chance to misbehave so there may be some benefits from the accident with the knife.
Come back when you are ready and when you feel able to face the world again. There is real concern and care in this corner of the forum, limited as our efforts to offer support are they are well meant and it would be good to now how your future works out, which it surely will. I sincerely hope you managed to climb out of this dark place really quickly.I may be back if I find work. If I don't, then I won't.

I have decided I am not coming back until I get some kind of meaningful job. It is just too hard to have people cheerfully tell me "oh things will get better, you'll see" when quite clearly for someone in my circumstances they will not, any time soon.
I can't even afford to have a Libre sensor for a full month. THAT is the reality of my situation - not some self-indulgent moaning. The last straw was hearing a colleague who clearly has NO tennis knowledge making basic errors and a complete lack of research. This is my bread and butter knowledge but it is who you know, not what you know and after 8 full years being on the outside looking in... I just can't anymore. It makes no difference how hard I work. None.
I have NO guaranteed income and am living hand to mouth and have been since the summer. For anyone who has been in this situation then you know how it feels and more importantly HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. So while it may well turn around, right NOW I am in a deep dark hole.
If you don't know how that feels then think yourself lucky and keep your fortune cookie sentiments to yourself.
I may be back if I find work. If I don't, then I won't.
All the best.
Great news Ian...Thank you. So far a very good day indeed. 6 monthly bladder cancer check all clear and all handled as smoothly as possible. Private hospital doing NHS checks. No entry without thorough sanitising and wearing one of their masks. As I already had 2 on I ended up wearing 3.
Great! I hope all's well6.9 for me today - not unexpected as I had the Oxford vaccine yesterday afternoon
I had the AZ vaccine and it played havoc with my blood sugars all the way to 12+ - now settled down in the 5s and low 6s on FBG as usual. I'm fine now...and glad you're recovering...Yes I felt a bit flu-ish last night with chills and shivers and my hands and feet were freezing in bed so I dug out the old hot water bottle ... felt quite sick early this morning but since having something to eat I am starting to feel better so hopefully I am over the worst of it.

Thank you.Great news Ian...
Thank you, I'm sure we sound much better when all playing together live, well at least at past live gigs no one ever threw eggs or tomatoes at us.
With these virtual recordings we are so much in the hands of our tech guy who is our music director, in his 70's and learning the new skill as he goes through GarageBand software so we can't complain too much.
