Good morning all from a very miserable Glasgow.
I'm still reeling from the news about Baubles. She is one of the Glesca Grannies, a long road ahead for her. ?
The same thing happened to a friend's daughter six months ago, she is still off work.
I'm having a quiet day, enjoying the fact that SIL and DD have decided to go into work. Yesterday was spent tiptoeing about the house.
Yesterday's outing left me shattered and was not without mishap.
•I lost my balance in Asda and toppled a display of hair accessories. ??
•Just as I was trying to avoid an elderly lady, on a mobility scooter in the car park, attempting to drive up a ramp, into a van, ( with little success), another elderly lady reversed out of a space without looking and nearly went into the side of my car. I had no means of avoiding her, other than swerving and hitting Scooterwoman and if I hadn’t kept my hand on the horn, she would have hit me. She then started waving her fist at me!!! ?
Elderly ladies, including me, seem to be frequent that particular retail park in droves. There should be warning signs at the entrance. ?
• I went to pick up an glass item from TKMaxx, but because it was in a huge box, I couldn’t lift it. The kind assistant offered to take it out for me, to make it easier. It was like Russian dolls. Boxes within boxes. Just as the assistant picked up the last small box, the bottom fell out of it. For someone who struggles to move quicly, I moved pretty fast and caught the item in time! ?
• By this time I was exhausted, so decided to pick up my prescriptions and go home. The pharmacist still hadn't been able to source any of my RA medication ? and there was no sign of one of the prescriptions, so off to the surgery, I went. ( Huge sigh) Oh sorry about that, it appears your prescription has been missed. If you come back this afternoon, I will try and get someone to write it! ??????.
It took me thirty minutes to get there and no way was I braving the roadworks again. The alternative route was gridlocked and to make it worse, the that route is a road I hate driving! I drove it every night after work, to look after my ailing mother, knowing I would be in for my usual ear bashing, when I got there. ?
However, despite all that, I'm in good spirits. While in TK Maxx, I noticed that they were selling lots of semi precious stone jewellery, especially dainty, little, stretchy bracelets. It has re-awakened my interest in jewellery making and I may have a go today, as I have a stash of stones. Then again, I could empty a kitchen cupboard to make way for nagging DD's stash of food items.
What would you choose, dear reader?
I haven't read the posts yet, but wish you all the best day possible. I have been wondering how the poorly daughters and their mums are faring and hoping life is improving for them. ?
