AS GOOD AS IT GETS PHASE DAY 6

DVT DAY 21

AGAIG DAY 6

So today I wake up to find the clocks have sprung forward and my body is expecting drugs a bit later so there is time for breakfast. Nice to have a relaxing meal during which to chat and plan the day.

Social distancing can be demanding in your own home.

I set to and start to take an old laptop apart with a view to upgrading it so my partner has a laptop of her own to use. All goes well as I am now confident of what I am doing and I am nodding terms with hard drives, RAM and mother boards. I have the thing in bits as the rest of the household busies itself around me, doing marking and organising the house. I source the upgrade kit I need and select the addition random access memory I am going to put in. It is in the basket and we get to the pay page and then I cannot find my credit cards, everything else apart from my card holder. So “hunt the card holder” started. It’s gone on for hours. I know exactly when I last used it, and what I did since in minute detail. I also know that I have not been out being one of the shielded in isolation so where ever it is, it is in the house somewhere. In desperation to get the computer parts I borrow my partners card and finish the order. Order made I continue to play hunt the card holder. This game goes on until dinner and then I continue the hunt.

Today I have failed to write my daily letter or do anything else other than turn the house upside down. When I do surface, I discover that the family have formed a new large WhatsApp group and I think they have entered the world of ZOOM and other platforms, so I have to play catchup to see where everyone is.

The world is ZOOM

I take time out to blog a bit in the hope that my unconscious will keep working on finding my card holder. I am hoping that we have not been selected to host a family of Borrowers. One ray of sunshine is the possibility that we have solved our toilet roll shortage as it looms large in the household. With luck we should be toilet roll sufficient by the end of the week. One has to find solace where one can finds it.

Is it possible that toilet rolls can make the sun shine?

Tomorrow it is an early start as I go to the GP surgery for my 28 day injection. This is the day I get to be driven to the surgery and left like a dog in the car until I am allowed in to have my injection after, which I shall be ushered out to the car and whisked home. At least I get to see something other than my house and the garden.
