Turns out I don’t normally need tenses while chatting with carers with English as a second language.
But an active bin fire 2 metres from my flat does require some idea of the present tense/urgency… 😬 (fire brigade have been and gone now, hoping it’s safe/doesn’t reignite as I can’t check)

@tony1001.bsky.social Happy birthday!

CW food

Eating runny eggs in bed.
Mouthful 1: drips all down my pyjama top as boobs in the way.
Mouthful 2: moved myself forward to be more over the tray to avoid drips, got hiccups. 🙄

Printing out a self-made motivational poster with daily tick boxes for me to fill in for a month if I do my self care for the day. Because apparently I’m at the “sticker chart” stage of trying to figure out how to motivate myself.

Training up a new carer on how to clean my flat. We definitely have a pacing issue, he’s about 30 minutes behind schedule. And he didn’t squeeze out the mop enough, so I can’t show him things as the floors are still wet so we’ve got me describing where things are and him not getting it. 🤦‍♀️

This view has become part of our story and it’s always such a settling feeling to get to this hotel for a weekend. ❤️ (the view changes slightly depending on how high up they put us, there’s 7 floors with accessible rooms in the same place in the building!)

PSA: Aldi has started new scheme for recycling medication blister packs.
Print label up to twice a month: terracycle.com/en-GB/brigades…
Put maximum 30 blister packs in envelope no bigger than A4 envelope size, stick on label, post in post box. 👍
Easy peasy if you have a printer.

Having an electrical inspection this morning, don’t know quite what to expect.
Presumably once they’ve established I’ve not hot wired anything into the mains/meter/bathroom they’ll leave fairly quickly…

Have fucked my wheelchair electrics in the rain. Just rung the workshop for advice, which is to put wheelchair (or ideally just the joystick unit) somewhere warm…

Helpful.
