Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, its only 2° here, but the sun is shining. There is no rain forecast, so the washing will be going out.
I have no plans for the day, as yesterday's outing has left me pretty wiped out. Mr MDoll performed true to form. What part of Wait here, do not move, did he not understand? He kept disappearing in Asda and I was becoming more and more frustrated.
Just like the our remote control, he insisted in taking charge of the scanning handset. I spent ages removing multiple items, we hadn't actually purchased. ?
My plan had been to use him to get some of the heavier items, which I can't carry. There is a shortage here of PepsiMax, (I know, a minor worry, in the light of others' troubles) which I drink, so I was hoping to find some. DH went off to look, came back saying there was none.
After paying for my shopping, I spotted stacks and stacks, piled up at the checkout. You couldn't miss them!
I sent DH to the car, after having asked him to lift them into another trolley and said I would get another self scanner and wouldn't be long. Oh how wrong I was!
The system said I had already used self scan and couldn't have another handset. ?
So instead, off I trundled to the self checkout, without obtaining a handset. The trays of Pepsi wouldn't scan, then I found the most unhelpful assistant I have ever experienced! I explained the trays wouldn't scan, also said I was having problems holding the trays. Nope, I had to do it myself.
When did I become this feeble old lady, who previously, had rarely asked for support from anyone? By this time I was really breathless and near to tears. Mr MDoll and was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't being unable to scan that upset me, it was the realisation that I am going downhill and have no control over my failing body.
I'm sure I am not the only one on here, who feels like that. However, it was such a sad (self pitying moment and wallowing) revelation for me. I have always been so resilient.
By the way, I have given myself a big shake and am fine this morning. I have my husband at my side , when others do not. and I should cherish that.
I oThe main purpose of DH accompanying me was to drop off the charity bags. Instead of moving his car, (there is a disabled space outside it) he said he would just walk over with them and I could just wait in the carH . emptied the boot, locked the car and walked away, WITH THE KEYS leaving me standing in the middle of the Asda car park, locked out!
I knew I should have gone out alone!
To cap it all, we spent wasted so much time in Home Bargains (not my fault!), that there was no time to look in B&M, Matalan and my beloved TKMaxx, as per my usual routine. I haven't been out for ages and was so looking forward to it, as I fear I am becoming institutionalised to some extent. Does anyone know a good divorce lawyer. 
I haven't read any posts, so that is my next task.
Baubles' sad news struck a cord with me yesterday, I kept thinking of that sad family and Harri, who has now to face life without her beloved husband.
Susan, I hope yesterday wasn't too distressing and that all the Covid sufferers are improving.
I will be back later......perhaps. Probably just better to read, rather than post these days. Its safer that way.
There’s himself on the phone to Sky again, for some reason we’ve had a struggling connection and we’re both getting very frustrated. We’ve even had a lady engineer in recently and thought all was fixed. We’ll just have to get this fixed or else go elsewhere
