I got a lot done around the house, yesterday. I thawed the chest freezer. Bleached the shower. Shook out rugs and swiffered floors. Put out a new rug by the kitchen door (Andy's rug was falling apart). Emptied and wiped out the inside of about half of the kitchen cabinets. Finished my book and played my game during my break times. And I planted all of my outdoor flower buckets. More? Maybe....but that's all that I remember. I find it much more satisfying to have a "done" list instead of a "to do" list. The "to do" list is never ending, and refuses to go away!!

Today I'm feeling less motivated....a lot less!

WOW! Do you make house calls?
 

I;m back..... it;s just after 10.30pm.....on this actual day from Hell... :oops::oops:

You wouldn't believe what a day this has been.. but enough of that for now... thank you for all the well wishes.. I'm absolutely worn out... but to cut a long story short I have Pneumonia... .They gave me intravenous antibiotics at the second hospital, where I was sent to have bloods and X-rays done.. . The first hospital only has urgent care.. no in-patients so after I;d waited for 2 hours I got to see the one and only Doctor , they did an ECG.. BP.. listened to my chest, said they thought it was Pneumonia.. or Bronchitis.. and that I had to go to the Large hospital in a further large Industrial town. It's basically the hospital where everyone is sent who lives within a 5o mile radius ..but it's in a town that has a lot of not sure how to describe them, but lets just say , no class .. my mind isn't working too well at the moment.. there's better descriptions.. but currently I don't want to swear!

The Doc at the first hospital assured me that with his accompanying note I wouldn't have to wait for hours at A&E like the walk-ins.. and would get my X-rays and bloods done immediately..

That didn't happen!.. the waiting room.. was packed with people.. at one point while I sat there for 3 hours.. I counted 83 people.. and screaming children., everyone was restless lots had been there for hours..

They did take me in 5 minutes after I arrived to take my BP and ECG again.. despite having it done just an hour before.... anyway sitting there feeling rough.. as many others were, my neighbour in the next chair suddenly lurched forward as he was kicked out of his seat from behind!!.. :eek: ...I jumped up... and there was 2 guys fighting.. full battle, kicking punching.. terrible.. everyone tried to get out of the way , the nursing staff were screaming for security, ( No security , for at least 10 minutes)....I took a picture.. the guy who is sitting down was the one kicking and lashing out at the others, and everyone else..

everyone was trying to get out of the way.. and just as we did.. another guy unrelated to the first incident launched an attack on a Doctor... the Police arrived within 5 minutes ( quicker than security for the others.. and had him in an arm lock.. in seconds)..

this is getting too long.. I'll start another post..
 
Just got home from an adventure out with Sondra, my new Personal Care person (and housecleaner). Had to go into Rochester to get a copy of Ricks'death certficate for my Medicaid application. FIRST went to Penfield Town Hall. When I got know you can get birth certificates and all. NOPE...got to go to Department of Social Services. Went to DSS,,,NOPE...we do not do them any more...you have to go to yet another place. FML. We could not go today as I had a couple other errands to run..plus it was approaching the end of her shift, so a no dice. She did end up staying an extra hour today...but is simply going to work 3 hours Friday. I am miffed to say the least.
 
..by now I'm wanting out of this hospital, I'd already been there hours.. and I had never encountered anything like this in an A&E dept, ..read about it in some hospitals, saw documentaries on it on TV... never witnessed it ever... I was actually shaken up... this was within feet of me..

so I decided I would go home.. so I went over and told the nursing Sister that I was leaving and so she got me in to have X-rays and bloods immediately... that was about 7.30pm...

....so they said I have a mild case of Pneumonia.. and gave me antibiotics intravenously for about 20 minutes.. and then sent me home with a prescription for doxycycline.. and the usual instructions on treating it as tho' it were a bad case of flu... ( this is the 3rd time now I've had pneumonia ) ECG was fine and BP was as it should be which is good... which is bloody surprising given all that had happened during today.. starting off with that company and my DD who tok £80 out of my account and still haven't rung back... to this 2 hospital visit... and this fighting.. and the long waits.. but what really put the whole tin lid on it for me today.. was when I got into the hospital multi storey car park, and just driving into a space.. a car reversed right into the front of me (SMASH)

he got out of his car and I said ''you've just reversed into me '' !!!.. he said he didn't see me, but I was tooting you loudly I said.. and he said... ''Oh I wondered where that tooting was coming from''. ...so help me I could have hit him... what a complete twonk.. not only not looking in his mirror while reversing, but ''totally oblivious to someone behind him tooting their horn''..


so this has been the day of Hell today... !

Thank you for all your best wishes... I wish I'd never got up this morning tbh..:rolleyes::(
 
What I am doing today? Calling the cops. At 5 in the morning, still dark, my 3 Boxer dogs started barking. So I went outside but couldn't see anything besides a car driving off. Later on I went for a walk with my pups, but the gate was wide open and the chain was cut with a bolt cutter. And then I saw the lock on our travel trailer had been smashed. The sheriff deputy took pictures and wrote a report. He assured me the barking of my dogs had scared off the thieves before they could drive the trailer to Mexico never to be seen again. I love my Boxer dogs; time to buy them more treats. DSC00368.JPGDSC00637.JPGDSC00632.JPGDSC00638.JPGDSC00645.JPG

WOW…..I’m glad you and your boxers weren’t near to get hurt.
I’m sure you’re very proud of them.
Was there any damage to your camper ?

Wow! @packleader, your dogs saved the day! Like others have mentioned, having motion sensor lights might help in the future.
 
~Before sunrise I went down to the community laundry room to wash clothes.
~Walked to the Amazon hub to pick up my orders.
~Put away those items along with the Dollar Tree order my son picked up for me.
~Dried laundry (in my electric dryer) after I returned.
~Refilled smaller containers from bulk sized products and rotated stock.
