Despite sleeping a lot better recently, this week the Klutz Gene has been working overtime. I’ve twice walked into the bookcase in the living room. One time just a graze from the corner, the other time I must have walked heavily into it and actually cut my shoulder on the corner. Just a small cut, but man did it bleed. Taking an oven tray out of the oven, I managed to touch my other arm with the tray, no idea how, and was ‘treated’ to a thin burn more than 2 inches long. To add insult to injury, I’ve been bitten twice on the same hand, near my wrist, by midges. I have a bad reaction to bites, and these swelled so much I couldn’t wear my watch for several days. I think I should be locked in a room coated with bubble wrap, so I can’t hurt myself LMAO. I am sleeping better, as I said, yet still yawn all day and often have very little energy. I bruise easily, bleed easily, and have noticed some pin prick petechial spots on my skin. I have a GP appointment soon to discuss and review my meds and will mention the above too.
Since seeing the eye specialist, 5 weeks ago, I’ve been drinking an extra litre of water a day (I don’t drink enough – camel gene lol) and frankly haven’t noticed any difference apart from the obvious. I’ve also been taking the ‘D’ vitamins as recommended; again, not seeing any difference. To repeat my previous blog post; just shoot me.
In other news I had a small win, which is nice, however it lacked the zeros I need to change my life in any way. Still, every little helps, and this is the third win I’ve had this year. Only small wins, though way more than I would get in interest given the amount (not much) of money that I have.
I’ve started to make plans to visit my kid sister in 2 months which will be great. I just wish she had a spare bed; it’s either the floor in the (cluttered) spare room or the sofa. A hotel is out of the question; too costly, and I wouldn’t like being alone in one anyway. I have furniture, don’t get me wrong, however I am a bit of a minimalist and don’t hoard ‘stuff’ that has no use or hasn’t been used in a while. My kid sister is the polar opposite and you can barely move in her house for ‘stuff.’ I think she’s like our Mother, whereas I’m more like our Father. My dream purchase would be an RV (recreational vehicle) so that I could travel and have my own place to sleep. I could park up outside her house, visit, and then have my own space at night. I don’t want much… lol
The weather here has been quite sunny and getting warmer again. Great for laundry though twice we were forecast rain that didn’t appear, and I’ve needed to water the garden pots. I have around half the potted plants that I used to have (I also have well under half the garden I used to have) so this didn’t take too long. No rain forecast for about a week, so no doubt I’ll need to water them again in a few days’ time. The blueberries (well under the normal amount) are starting to ripen. We have 2 quince fruit so far (similar to a very hard pear) and the blackberry and loganberry are looking good but no flowers so far; I think it’s early yet? We had a neighbour who had a huge quince ‘tree’ growing up their south-facing wall. They had so much fruit, they used to make quince jelly. My plant is still young, being trained up a bamboo arch, however it really needs a bigger pot and better frame. I think I’ll re-pot it in the autumn and try and get it a fan frame to grow up.
Nothing much going on. Enjoy the rest of the week and have a great weekend.

The stuff or much of what you say in the first part is exactly what I had when given too much strong Blood thinning medicine. There are also other medicines that can have the same negative as they can also thin the blood.
Have a nice weekend.
Stormlizard club has replied to Bee OrchidI was going to let you know that all over the counter pain killers containing Ascorbic acid and Paracetamol are blood blood thinning equal to Warfarine.
I suffered with easy bruesing and spontan nose bleeds because of an overdose of the strongest blood thinner on the market.
My garden is so overgrown since I've been away that I just don't know where to start, and when I try to do something, I find I can't. My immobility is getting worse, so I'm going to have to ask Emily to help me and also contact a volunteer gardener to give me a hand.
As you say - enjoy the rest of the week and have a great weekend.
getting enough sleep and still being tired must be a bummer.
Sounds to me apart feon killer midgies your wounds are self inflicted,you may need to start wearing body armour
Jenny - No, both my son and I are allergic to it. I would love to help out in your garden, it's so beautiful. Just wish I lived closer. Hope you can get the help you need. Did you find your health better in the heat of Turkey?
Mick - Glad to hear it! lol. Walking in a straight line might help, though body armour could be useful too.
I get severe allergic swelling when I'm bit. A keep Benadryl around which is an antihistamine. If I get bit and take one within the hour most don't swell and some even disappear!
