On Tuesday night I got trapped in my car. I booked it in a garage to try and get it fixed. The mechanic came and took the car this morning but came back in less than an hour. They said the lock and window are now working. They think the window lock button might have got knocked accidentally? Also the door opens now? I hope it’s just reset itself, but it makes me nervous, I might have to try and visit friends and make sure they are in if I visit. I will also have my phone at the front of the car so I can get to it straight away. If I decide to drive myself to the shops I might need someone to let me out!

Stuck

Came home from choir, went to get a takeaway and my electric window wouldn’t work. So had to open the door to collect the food. Then drove home, but when I tried to open my door it wouldn’t open. I tried hitting it and the lock stuck. By then I was panicking. I started honking the horn and flashing the car lights but no one was around. My phone was on the back seat and I couldn’t reach it. I tried to squeeze my foot up and over the central gear lever and brake, to get into the passenger seat, but couldn’t move my leg so I managed to pull the lever under the seat and tip the seat back to give me more space. I shuffled across hoping I wouldn’t knock the car out of gear or loosen the handbrake. I finally shimmied across. Luckily the passenger door opened. I WAS FREE! I’m shaking and need a decent garage to tow it away to fix it. Meanwhile I daren’t drive it because I don’t know if I’ll get stuck again. 😢

Scrolling

Today has been a “nothing” day. I had a letter that upset me this morning and I tried to contact some support but there was no reply. I wrote a long winded email and sent it although I doubt it will help.

All day my ears have been whistling and whooshing. I think my ears are slightly blocked although I have slight tinnitus sometimes. That’s made me feel under the weather.

It was a mainly gray day. I didn’t want to go out so I basically spent a lot of time scrolling through my phone. It’s not good. I was also watching TV out the corner of my eye, the epitome of multi tasking. Now I’m not sure what to do. I don’t have a plan. I’m very stuck, procrastinating. Help!

Missing cat?

Where’s he gone? I’ve whistled and shouted him. He was around this morning. He’s probably asleep somewhere. I’ll have to put some food out for him and the other two… Or get some catnip out to attract him. I’m getting worried but I think it’ll be OK. It’s just that feeling of missing something, a silence when you expect noise. I don’t want to lose anything else at the moment. I haven’t heard from a friend recently and I get the same feeling. I’m over thinking probably. Easy to let things get to me. But I don’t want a prodigal cat. X

Getting outside

Out painting with a friend

It’s been a month since I went out painting on a windy day, came back and caught my leg in a car door. On Saturday there is an urban sketching meet and I might go. What concerns me is that I will need a table or at least a chair. But on the same day there is a choir performance I’d like to attend. It will be possibly a safer bet as its downstairs and there will be chairs and no steps to negotiate….. It feels scary and good to contemplate getting out and about again. It’s good that two activities I love, art and singing, are both happening on the same day, but I am anxious!

A trip to the vets

Booster shot time for the cats….

One was fine, the other one not so much. She hid in a cupboard, ran under a cupboard, ran behind the armchair, ran in the kitchen then out again. Finally I managed to grab her at the top of the stairs because we had shut the bedroom doors. Then, well walking downstairs when you are a bit wobbly on your feet and cannot hold the handrail because you need to hold onto the cat… To say I had a feeling of vertigo, scary. Hubby came halfway up the stairs so I could deposit her into the cat carrier.

Then off to the vets, female cat was miaowing all the way (The male was much quieter on his trip) . I kept gently telling her she was OK. The vet was lovely, he was very good with both cats and gave the inoculations while my cats were still in the carrier. A quick check of each cats hearts and we whisked them home again.

Now two hours later I’m being headbutted and purred at by the female. A sprinkling of catnip seems to have helped.
