Group 7-day waking average?

Well. I was shaving and forgot to shut the shower room door. I also forgot Gwen the cat likes to launch herself when she sees foam on my face as it only seems to happen when I am exfoliating my visage.

And so it happened...the phone rang I picked it up to see who...Gwen launched herself onto my neck, I shouted many expletives, the phone fell out my hand and down the loo.

So, there we have it. Another glorious morning in chaos towers...

Vaccine wiped me out yesterday but much bouncier today (even with very little sleep).
Zoom calls today with family and with assessment for group work regarding the PTSD. Private but on a sliding scale fee basis.
Had a reminder from the police regarding a video recorded interview next week and a text from the GP asking that I contact them about test results. Oddly though I’ve no outstanding results and everything recently has been absolutely fine so I’m guessing they’ve called in error.
I do feel the creeping onset of another bout of melancholia too. With everything that’s going on it’s not surprising I guess.

I hope you have a good day...A lot to cope with for sure.
 
I completely forgot to post this earlier! 😳 01:49 BS 8.1 Obviously after yesterday’s catch up snooze after getting that LR at last I’m still off kilter in my sleeping pattern & still working on it!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I knew there would be a ***** involved @Clifton.😱:D

Good luck with the meeting @ColinUK.

Hope things settle more quickly this time Barbara aka @rebrascora.

I won't check my current BG ...probably through the roof...

I've just dropped my newish iPhone into the loo. It's thankfully insured and all backed up. A visit to the Apple store is now on the agenda ASAP....

I pity the poor Apple store worker who got out of bed all fired up for work today who is going to have to fix your phone after it's been doing the backstroke in your toilet. 🙂 There are hellish jobs and then there's that type of job.

Shaking my head at people taking a phone into the toilet, answering phone calls whilst shaving or having the phone with them when they are washing dishes. :D

As an aside, why do they design phones to have no grip? The number of times I keep dropping mine because it slips through my hands is incredible. Fortunately the phone cost me £20 and is an old Nokia thing which only does calls and texts. No smartphone for me. I suppose I'm going to struggle when the digital vaccine passport nonsense kicks in......

However, what's the difference between reading an online newspaper on your smartphone whilst on the loo and reading a printed version? I've known plenty of people who head off to the loo with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. I've even gone to the loo in friends' houses and noticed that some of them have books in there.

This was a fundamental error on my part - I was expecting an urgent call - it is usually left either in the bedroom or elsewhere.

My stupidity has been well and truly rewarded! But, I now have a brand new handset! Always a silver lining somewhere!
 
My Moderna vaccination has just been jabbed into me. No side effects so far. But waiting patiently...

Red rash on my lower leg is thankfully not cellulitis but a patch of dry irritated skin likely related to my previously uncontolled high blood sugar...which stress helps inflame.

Sitting in the Morgan under insipid sunshine on an afternoon off wondering what to do next after having already done the Waitrose run and kids are at tennis till later and Madame is up in Cheltenham

Hope you feel better soon. I have been like that a lot recently had a day in bed last Saturday felt lousy. Do you get headaches often? Is it part of this?

I think I get headaches when my bg is high or after a long low, but also get them for normal reasons too so can be hard to tell. Drinking rehydration solution when I get them usually helps too

Really? Books in a toilet? Where people poo?
A room where even flushing with the lid down causes a massive spray of toilet water droplets to go everywhere? (I saw a documentary on this many years ago where they used UV light to show what happens when you flush. I've been scarred ever since).

I honestly think I'm going to vomit. 🙂
