A day of incidences...

Not my day today and it wasn't last night ... or yesterday.
Yesterday, or rather the day before , I got a last-minute message to bring the car in for 7.30 am, an hour earlier... apparently they had a technician available then to service my car. The car was already 42 days overdue for the service because they didn't have any technicians and yesterday was the first day they could offer me. So I lost an hour sleep yesterday morning.

Then I had the fall I talked about stepping up the steps .

Then last night, I go to the bathroom . I had turned the lights on. Fortunately. And I had fallen asleep with my hearing sound processor on which is why I still had it on otherwise I've probably not made sense of the proceedings.

Hurtling out of the bathroom like a cannonball , which is what looked like a solid ball of fury, and if I cupped my hands, it was slightly bigger than any ball like I could hold.

I lifted my left leg quickly because it was on course for that, and it crashed into the room door behind me and then shot back into my old bedroom.

I did not see it as a whole creature and it was definitely bigger than any rat, but a rat can't hurtle itself like a perfectly round cannonball.

Midnight was horrified in the front room and he retreated to the highest possible sleeping space. I sat up in bed but I fell asleep eventually...

I had googled, but nothing makes sense.

And Google authoritatively informs me neither a rat nor a mouse can curl itself into a ball and hurtle at you.

So I had to assume that the creature was safe to me (???), even though I hadn't a clue what it was...


I had to go and get my repeat owing medicine from 'Secret Potions'. I had had another text message saying that they were in and this text heading also said Secret Potions. By the way, I did some research on this because I wasn't happy about a few things. And it turned out that Secret Potions was begun in 1999, according to the government's Business House and they are the dedicated suppliers of medicines to certain pharmacies. And that is the name of their business. But when they bought my pharmacy is not clear, but then I did not read every PDF - there was a whole pile of stuff there. They own pharmacies in Wales and England, over to Sheffield and I think it was down to Stoke on Trent so they actually owned over 29 pharmacies.... it looks like a husband and wife team owns all this or it could be brother and sister.
One of the reasons why I looked it up was because online they say they deliver prescriptions, but when I checked with my pharmacy and I have checked many times before in the pharmacy, they say they don't deliver any prescriptions. So that was misleading.

But when I check further apparently the delivery of prescriptions is a private matter not an NHS matter is the best I can describe it and it cost between £20 and £40 to get your prescriptions delivered but I didn't read any further into that, because you had to click a box to find further details....

There was a lot of services they appeared to offer, but it is totally unclear whether it is under the NHS or whether it is private and consequently costs you a lot. And there was a lack of the NHS symbol.... I'm currently composing a letter asking for a statement of transparency...


Consequently, when I got back from the pharmacy this morning, the day was so hot I was wiped out. But I went to open the two back doors to see if I can let this cannonball of a creature go outside or if I can make it by banging the furniture. I really didn't want to deal with that, but I had to..

I had to open the door from the outside because I didn't want to disturb the middle of the bedroom in case I disturbed the creature further into the bungalow.

I came back in, and went to my bedroom, but as I walked to the top end of the room, suddenly from a shelf at about head height at this point, a 12" x 12" cushion was thrown at me. Just from the shelf and I could see nothing. But exactly at that moment the cannonball ejected itself from that shelf over my bed and through the open door. It never opened out to reveal the creature. I can only assume it escaped. And I very much hope it did.

I have been googling and googling, but I cannot find anything that suggests a rat could do anything like that, but it's too big for that. Then something online suggested it might be a squirrel and it might be a squirrel with a baby to protect.

I'm going to lock up in a minute, and I hope I do not see or hear any trace of it tonight. By the way, by morning it has emptied most of the wood chip cat litter from the sack, all over my bathroom floor.

There is no way I can deal with that today.

Today was spent putting everything back in the car, including my mobility scooter, which took ages, and the rest of the day I just slept.

I should've done all my recycle today and put that out now, but no chance. I am too tired and I couldn't face it.

There are 6 bags and boxes/containers of recycle to get out. And on a good day, I find that far too much. Today I find it impossible.

I will have to make sure I'm awake for 6 am, but as soon as I see the sky lightning, I will wake up and get it out....

Night night....

I hope you had a better day than I did!!!!

Creative is some flowers I took on my pixel phone as I get out of the car. I have to step over them.

Thank you for all your well wishes yesterday. Maybe I should've gone for a checkup but I did not.... just the usual pains and bruises... so I might be sleeping a bit for the next few days...
