#BlogLife1163 - Voice is drying up

Sometimes I feel there is a lot to say and other times nothing springs to mind.

Of course I'm apprehensive about the uc meeting at 3pmish, it's not the usual 10 minutes but 30 ugh..

I hope it is shorter, by that time I should be starving. Oh I got to put carrier shopping bags in my handbag.

I wonder if the self checkout takes cash? I'm hoping someone is serving... Come on you're usually busy in-store.

Just before that I will pop into the library and make enquiries about the Connect programme.

At least after Googling it's informal. No appointments, just drop in Wednesdays to Fridays 10-4pm.

Oh I didn't see it before but I was able to register for it so at least I have something to tell the advisor.

I'm not going to bother with the library now. I was just going to get a pamphlet but no need.

I'm hoping they say I'm not eligible. Anyway that is a weight off my mind.

I just need to get groceries and the saline if that chemist sells it.

I wasn't thinking about the appointment being so late. I don't eat before I go out.

I don't want that bloated feeling. I could have got take out but I want the food hot when I get back.

I'll just see what Tesco has an offer, maybe some items will be reduced...?

At least this time, I know the buses are running. I can take the jacket so even if rains again, I won't be soaked.

When I take out the bins I'll check the post and that's me all organised.

When I return I won't want to do a thing. My appetite will probably dry up too.

I never thought I would have to revert back to manual not online grocery shopping.

It's horrible being limited with pain and sleepiness. Hopefully bread or rolls are in stock..

I am in trouble, if not.. I would have to take another bus to the other big Tesco

I'm back home and it's nearly 5pm and of course no appetite but I'll munch anyway.

The appointment was a disaster.. Of course I'd get someone that doesn't respect health issues.

I literally was falling asleep, my legs were shaking because when he called my name, I kinda jumped ha.

He wants to send me on a course and shoot it better be online.

Either I can find my own online one as a way to avoid it or maybe that weird Connect scheme can help...

I don't know why they are all such *insert swear word* He literally repeated it back to me, when I said I have severe health issues....

And says don't bother with remote opportunities, they are obsolete...

Why do they always say that, when I can see multiple vacancies???

The kicker is, he didn't even mention the bloody Connect scheme...

They love talking down to you, like you're an idiot. Patronising so and so.... Oh you're very well spoken...

Explain how you volunteer..... *bleep*

He was not approachable to talk about the rent issue with and shoot forgot to check the post.

I'm too tired now. I spent about £34 in Tesco, no wholemeal rolls of course... I got seeded bagels instead.

But I did get bread, lots of reduced stuff, sushi and sandwiches. Macaroni cheese...

Plus chicken pasta. I am such a dodo. I got the meal deal, could have got a free dessert...

That's what happens when you can't relax and clock watching. I forget stuff.

I don't think I got dessert, I was going to go elsewhere. No pakoras either, too tired and went off the idea.

I didn't get takeout either. I was going to get a chicken burger. I wanted to lie down so much.

At least I got hula hoop crisps. I fancy soup but again my legs wanted to hurry and get the basics.

Next time I'll browse at leisure. What do you consume, when you don't fancy anything?

My actual craving was sandwiches. I like how the stores make it, extra flavour.

I think the only thing that slightly doesn't freeze well is the baguette chicken salad.

Although I should have what is expired first... I don't fancy toasties or pasta or sushi today.

One of the sandwiches, pesto chicken, tuna crunch (for a change).

Pity they only had smoked salmon not real, I prefer the chunkier version...

Oh I thought there was more ha. It's just the chicken sushi too. 

I looked for salmon but I'm not sure if it had prawn in it.. Time to eat and tomorrow I can stress out.

Oh one last thing, you know what was crazy, the staff member said use the self checkout but it was card only..

Then she helped me checkout anyway and wanted to know why I don't have a clubcard...

I couldn't be bothered to say.. Well I hate Tesco during the Pandemic I almost starved, they refused to deliver..

But I still shop here because I'm ill and you don't have stairs! It's convenient for me.
