 Quiet again. I must make a real effort to move into the Catalogue Room, which would mean I could use the laptop and show  you some pictures; and into the bedroom, to sort out some drawers. I discovered when dressing for my hospital appt this week, that one drawer, at least, was stuffed to the gills, with the contents in a totally unusable state.

  It is very disconcerting to be in one’s dear, familiar house and find everything different. Nicole and I — the current carer — couldn’t find a dear, familiar pan at lunchtime. We found something to cook the lunch in, but not that one, 

  It’s no use complaining.  I’m lucky to be here, I guess. 

  C. came this morning. No news. 

  Wordle: an easy four today. My starters gave me the whole word, in anagram form. Line three was a possible solution, but wrong — three greens and two browns, so all I had to do was reverse the position of the browns. Ketki and Mark had exactly the same grid, and same result. Rachel was another four, with a similar grid, but different browns to be reversed. Alexander was another four — totally different approach. 

   Roger scored six. Theo and Thomas both had brilliant twos. Theo had the same grid as me and Ketki and Mark, but he achieved it in line one. Thomas, indeed,  had the most brilliant grid I’ve ever seen — I wish there was some way to frame it. Line One was a total failure — no browns, no greens.  Line two was right.

    Dear Jean, You could take a screenshot and print that for framing. Cam in Vancouver, WA

    Hi there - I hope you continue to do fairly well. As to not finding things that you normally use I'm daring to make a suggestion - have a meeting with the carers and set boundaries as to what goes where. They are being paid to help you with everyday living and should consider how disruptive it is that you can't find things. Then if it continues you can talk to the agency. Plus, it should make their job easier as they won't have to search for items either. - Joe-inWyoming

    Wordle in four for me, should have been three!
    At least there is an explanation for your misplaced items. The scissors we keep in the kitchen went missing, my husband thought perhaps they got put in the recycling with a stack of papers. I found them yesterday in the box with all the gauze and band aids. I must have used them to cut something and left them in the box.

  4. It's a sort of series of relinquishments. As I do less and less round the house and my husband does more and more, everything shifts slightly, so when I do go to try and cook or clean something it's like the contents of cupboards and drawers are no longer what I have been used to, and the things he prefers using are at the front and my go-to stuff is... where?!?

    1. Ps, anyone got any ideas on what we have done with the crevice thingy for the vacuum cleaner?
