Plague 30

Now im very fond of the little map that tells me where you all are today i have Cambodia  Gibralter and Hong Kong at the bottom of the list . The one that worries me however is unknown region , is this perhaps Atlantis , aliens another dimension maybe?  So if your the viewer from unknown do say hello .
Im enjoying the peace as the socially isolated duo of other half and his brother have gimped off to his dads, to start on the sheds at the actual house now . Ive noticed that various strange piles of crap have appeared in the garden , including two sets of large aluminium ladders , hes got till the end of the month, we already have ladders we dont need more !!  Plus the kitchen has gained a large router with all the bench and bits and other stuff that comes with it , im informed they are just passing through , knowing my other half hes planning on trying to hide them somewhere here . I do love him but he is the pack rat from hell . He did say that trying to clear his dads mess makes him realise how bad it would be if he snuffed it , not noticed him getting rid off anything ...lol
Then he announced hes thought of getting a camper van , it would be easier to fish he says with his toilet with him , i already spend half my life dealing with that side of things , so cleaning out a camper van loo would be a real holiday treat for me to look forward to .  I just want a nice normal holiday but his disabilities rule out most places , theres a few holiday cottages that cater for the disabled but theyre booked up years in advance and so expensive theyre out of our league .
 You dont realise the daft aspects of caring for someone with a disability , to look at my other half when hes sat down he appears perfectly normal . When hes up and walking you can see something is very wrong , his legs dont appear to be on quite right and he walks badly even with his crutches .  It also looks like hes had a stroke on one side, this comes and goes through the day , but its much worse as the day goes on. when hes bad his words slur he gets word salad and the tremors come out with a vengeance. His neuropathy is getting worse , not much that anyone can do about this , every time he moves he causes more spinal and nerve damage ...ho hum probably come home today with a hidden mini digger or something , it never crosses his mind that he cant do something till it goes wrong , then i get the "are you busy" phonecall or text to go and rescue him . Case in point got the phonecall the other day while i was hoovering , hed decided to go under the car on his wheely board and after scuttling round the drive a few times realised he had not a hells chance of getting off it . It took two of us to get him back on his very wobbly feet . As im chuntering into the house he shouts " you never know till you try" AAARRRGGGHHHH

    1. Ive caught him drawing up plans to fit a scooter engine to a disability trike the other day . Hes currently geo mapping the floor of the fishing lakes with some worryingly expensive looking bit of kit hes borrowed . Hes always been a problem solver so when hes not in his dark patches his heads going day and night

  2. I did have a little chuckle to myself about your hubbies antics but I can see how frustrating it must be too. My husband has always been one for hobbies, expensive hobbies. I spat my dummy out a while ago and said enough is enough. Before you buy anything else some stuff gas to be sold. Theres hundreds of pounds worth of kit that someone else could enjoy post lockdown.

  3. Hi hun, A camper van sounds great. The thought of just packing up what is in your fridge/freezer (cheap) and popping off somewhere sounds just like my cup of tea. We had a caravan years ago but we haven't had one for over 10 years and I really miss the freedom.*hugs* Goldensunflowerx
