I'd prefer to be asleep in bed! It's foggy and cold outside, but tomorrow is due to be colder still and I'll have to cook tomorrow as well, so today (aka now) it is, 8am... I might just make it home for 1pm if I'm lucky.

It looks like the lawn will need cutting this weekend as well just to add to my list of jobs and that takes me 3 days.... too much for hubby yet. He still can't drive or walk without crutches.
 
Pub day today. Ws supposed to be yesterday but we had dinner club.
I should have known when I hadn't heard of it.
Google maps took us on a round about way. Thanks 1 way system and my wife doesn't read maps. Then no parking and a time limit on seating. I should have bailed then. Parking fees paid. Seated in a joint shoulder to shoulder. Cant move, get up and order. Then pay and get a flashy vibrating notice to pick up food.
I will check out before going next time.
If there is a next time??
I'm still pi##@# off now.

  • Retrieve bins from road...
  • Wood, has to happen else no fire tonight
  • ?
In fact the only thing i don't need to do is cook. Soup from last night will last at least another day. I suspect I'm eating out again. It's boring me now! Lol.

And right now the only thing I want to do is to sleep...

Note to self, when driving 65km into town to do shopping and without enough fuel to get home again, REMEMBER YOUR CREDIT CARDS!

Emergency phone call to hubby... more have his card set-up on Google pay on my phone so that I could actually get home again... I Can see that app needing to be security locked immediately!

Luckily everywhere I've tried it, it worked after first or second attempt. My phone is on a case that flips all the way round behind the phone so I actually have to open the app, then hang the phone by the case because the extra thickness of the second part of the case blocks NFC so the card reader can't scan my phone.

I did have a trial run at the petrol station after explaining I didn't want to fill up first and find I couldn't pay, but that I didn't have enough fuel to get home. They really appreciated that. Luckily it worked but they pointed out that they would have accepted a bank transfer because I'd spoken to them first. Good to know because I'm horrendous for misplacing my cards. Hubby eventually found them in my vehicle which I did the veg shopping in yesterday because she needed a run having gone 9 or 10 weeks without being used.

Now to head home.

That’s saved my butt more than once.

Yeah. I can see its uses but I'm down to 28% battery after that shopping trip! But at least i know of anyone gets my phone, after cracking my 8 digit passcode to access the app, re-enable NFC they won't get long to spend my money! The battery won't last long enough, lol.
 
Haven't posted here for a while because since I am out of hospital and in a temporary wheelchair when I'm outdoors, my life isn't very interesting. So I am posting my plans for the rest of this week:

  • Visit to the hematologist (blood specialist doctor)
  • Visit to our favorite sushi place in wheelchair
  • Visit to the local street party, which is just a big market in the centre of town with all kinds of products
That's it but each one I am looking forward to as my days are otherwise spent indoors and I really need some answers from my hematologist.

It's the first week since I'm out of hospital that I've been able to do anything at all, and that's because of the wheelchair. I hope it gets better soon. But my heart is clearly still very damaged, so it might take quite a while to recover.

Its not to do with my age - its more to do with being a carer but also partly self inflicted I suppose. I still don't go to restaurants or shops due to covid (although I did recently go to the local Asian shop). I didn't linger - just bought a few things I can't get elsewhere whilst partner stood outside.

Pre covid and when my partner wasn't so advanced with dementia I often stayed with a close friend in Essex and we had meals out, days out etc. I'd also go on mini breaks to the coast with my partner or go to the pub with him.

I’m right there with you, though I’m not too fussed about it.

My week thus far:

Work, cook/eat, clean, treadmill, online stuff, water the flowers, watch TV, play some music, sleep. I last left the house on Sunday, to the best of my recollection.

Today: work, cook/eat, play some music, online stuff, treadmill…it rained a lot yesterday, so no need to water the flowers - oh what shall I do with that extra time? :laugh:

Yeah I don't want to be a debby downer but you guys have a choice you know? I am physically disabled, I can't do the things I want to do and I am very young. Not to mention I have a dangerous illness . And recently I ended up in a wheelchair, temporary for now but who knows it might be permanent in the future? Can you understand why I might struggle a little at this time, trying to cope?
I'm a pretty optimistic person but yeah, I wish I had a more interesting life.. I'm very happy I have a caring husband who takes me out to places, but I really feel old before my time. I can't even take a 10 minute walk at the moment. It's making me pretty sad.
My country is one of the worst in Europe statistically when it comes to accesibility, so this adds to my concerns. I don't want to live my life on the sidelines..
