IT HAS BEEN A WEEK

 

It is now a full week since I had my last Trulicity injection, and I think I can almost see a turn around in my regularity.  AND it's not so painful anymore. Thank God.  Hopefully it continues to get better.

VICKIE:  YES, I will be seeing my Doctor, as I will need to be taking something else to keep my diabetes under control, now that I am no longer taking Trulicity.  I am awaiting an appointment, but I'll probably need to go in personally to get said appointment, as their phone booking system is THE PITS.  

I have got a 'housekeeper' coming to do some housework today.

She is going to do the jobs I hate like vacuuming, washing floors, windows, bathroom and loo etc.

It will become a regular once a fortnight thing... and I couldn't be happier about it.  

While she works, I am going to continue sewing, not sure what I'll get made yet.

ONWARD...

ABOVE: Third morning in a row... woke up to a damn fog.  God I hate fogs.  They are so cold and damp and just seep into me bones.

I HATE WINTER so much more than summer.

With that in mind, this morning I am ringing some glazing companies.  We are going to (depending on cost), get the house windows double glazed.  This house was goddam FREEZING last winter.

I ain't going through that again!

ABOVE: The 'sticky pads' Steve got me for Crabby Quarters work so well... imagine ALL THAT traipsed into the house, all over the carpet.  Yeah NAH.  I pull off the used one about once a week.  Ya just have to remember not to walk on it with bare feet, it's very sticky and feels a bit gross.

9.30 and I've just contacted three retrofit double glazing companies.  And now I wait to hear back from them.  I'm hoping we can get something tee'd up fairly quickly.

I wish now I'd done this BEFORE winter was upon us!

ABOVE: Our housekeeper.  She works for left overs out of the fridge. 😂😅😋

3 PM.  What a lovely MORNING I have had.

The housekeeper arrived aka LACY.  She did a bloody wonderful job, took her 2 hours to get through the bulk of the jobs I had lined up for her.

While she worked, so did I.  I got two hours sewing done, then stopped for lunch.

I had chicken salad, with a couple of small garlic bread rolls.  It was delicious.

Then I went back into Crabby Quarters to finish the mornings project.

But first, I thought I better clean the machine, not having done it for about two weeks.

So, off comes the needle plate, I suck up the fluff with the vacum cleaner, put the plate back on... and.....

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?  It is refusing to work!   It keeps popping up an error message saying:

"Turn off the machine and attach the needle plate".

The needle plate is ON.

It won't do anything.

So, as you can imagine, I'm beyond upset.

Mc 2ie is only 11 weeks old!

I don't know whether I will cry, scream or start smashing things.

Instead, I hold it together and take the goddam machine into Sewing Machine World, hoping that the lady there can sort it out.

ABOVE: She took him apart, put him back together, and NOPE.  Nothing.  She 'thinks' it may be a sensor issue.

Like hello... this machine is only 11 weeks old.  WTF WTF WTF ????

She is going to contact Brother and see what they want to do.  He is staying in the shop for now, at least until something is sorted... better still ... FIXED.

I cannot believe this has happened.  Seriously.

Beyond upset.  ONLY just holding it together to be honest. 

I just want to scream, cry and smash things right now.

9.30 pm, and after a very quiet evening in front of the telly, I've calmed down.

I hope tomorrow goes fine,  without any upsets.
