Yesterday....,

....all my troubles seemed so far away....

Sunday was a good day.

Until after I had gone to bed when I was awakened with chest pain. I was sure it was not heart, and was probably indigestion, but it hurt every time I breathed in.

I called Careline and a doctor came out. She said I had a chest infection and left 3 amoxicillin.

After she left, I went back to bed and at some point, probably on getting out of bed, I ended up on the floor. In my attempts to get to my feet again, I had to use mainly my shoulders and my forearms to reach a point where I could get up. No success, so try again..

and again.

Eventually I made it and immediately went back to bed.

This morning - and continuing I am very sore.


TBSITW came over in very short order to see how I was. She did so much, tidying, ordering my prescription and so on and making my bed.

And then my new printer,scanner/photocopier/singer and dancer arrived.

So she set that up for me before leaving with strict instructions to look after myself.

mushroom soup, Printer Exchange.

A quiet day today.

This morning I made cream of mushroom soup.

After all the washing up, I made a pot of leaf tea (a mixture of Earl Grey and Darjeeling) using my new elephant tea cosy to keep the pot warm. It worked, and I actually had two cups of tea.

I known this is a bit boring, but I am learning to increase my fluid consumption.

I am getting a new printer/scanner/photocopier tomorrow from Comet. I do hope it arrives in time for me to go to the bridge club, so I took apart the old one which is going to dearest daugter.

The Continuing Story of Peyton Place...

(for those old enough to remember). Went to connect the printer and discovered it needs a USB port.....

Printer Repair.

Today I have put one tub of soup (ie the vegetables and gravy left over from the silverside I cooked yestereday) into the freezer, I now have one helping of soup for today and plenty cold meat.

I tried to print an updated version of my Outlook calendar to put on my notice board, but the printer would not start.

Fortunately, my cleaner went down on her hands and knees and everything looked okay, but it still would not switch on so she went back and removed and then replaced every connection....

... and it worked.
