Covet 19, lockdown, NHS being overwhelmed, the UK’s finance, Brexit, rising unemployment and we all suffer from Ataxia there’s not too much to be unhappy about really.
I’m ok in my little world I’m allowed out of my cell on a Saturday so I can play with my friends the fairies and feed the unicorn.
It’s also medication day when I get my bucket load of tablets, what my carer does not known is I give the red ones to a mouse who lives in the cell with me, mind you when I give it to him the last time his eyes went as big as a saucer and he started to chase this tail and barking like a dog. This lasts about four days and then he plays dead for a week.
I’m also being volunteered to try a new drug out, have no idea what it is apart it’s a bright blue.
My carer said the side effects of my face turning green and growing an extra arm will soon pass although to be honest that was two years ago. You may laugh but have you tried to buy a nice winter’s coat that has three arms.
PS I’ve been looking at an electric wheel chairs lately but I can’t seem to find an extension lead that will stretch the two miles from my house to the pub.
Tip of the day
Do the things you like to do with the people you like to do things with.
Thanks for your good mood. Cheers to the mouse and think about putting a little battery powered motor to go to the pub while they are open. In Spain, where we do a lot of social life in our pubs, we have closed pubs. Damn Covid19 !!
That made my day. I've just finished my online Sainsbury's shopping but with everyone else online, it does take longer than usual plus the signal here is iffy. I sometimes feel as if I am trying to communicate with the "little man in the moon made of cheese". Perhaps your mouse has been passing the pills to his cousin!
Talking of pills, when I was in hospital over New Year, in an effort to control blood pressure I was given Doxazosin which in addition to BP, is prescribed for prostate problems. Fine, but I haven't got a prostate (because I'm female) but I do check to make sure. It's a crazy world and getting crazier by the minute. They say talking to yourself is the first sign but at least you'll have a decent conversation.
Oh yes, I had the same problem with my mobility scooter, the lead just wasn't long enough to get out of the garage. But apparently you don't need one attached if you only travel short distances.
My solution to the current crisis: If you can't see it and it can't see you.
Take care everyone

Lockdown 2 is not as much fun as lockdown 1. When the world stopped earlier this year I was able to start those little jobs that I had been keeping for just such a time. Unfortunately I now need another 6 months to finish them!
Hey ho. Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you’re on.
I tried the blue pills, but they gave me a stiff neck.
