Sunday Morning Chores
Got a bit done too. Vacuumed the front room and hallway. Got the garden vac out and vacuumed up the dead leaves in the front yard. Helped Kathy with making the bed. It’s a bit of a bugger getting fitted sheets on a super king-size bed on your own. Now, it’s time to have more #coffee
Hospital Calls
Aside from this bout of potential flu right now, I usually feel pretty healthy. Having said that, I am under the care of local hospitals for several issues. Crohn’s disease, thyroid, DVT monitoring, and Rheumatism. Now they clash, in the treatment I am having for post-DVT and also for Crohn’s affects me, having a thyroid operation. All the departments have been communicating with each other, and I am on track for an operation early in the New Year. #medical.

I hope not
It was put in my mind that there’s new covid strain is going around and I do feel really yuck. It feels a bit more than just a cold but we’ll see how we are in the morning and then I suppose I shall have to go and get a Covid test but let’s hope not, eh?
The Lightroom Sync Issue
OK, it’s sorted at last. It took two days to do it. I had to delete all the photographs in the ‘sync error’ folder (250,000), and then delete them from the ‘deleted’ folder. All the Lightroom apps on my devices have now synced, and I can now use #Lightroom Desktop on my Mac Mini again.
Coffee Is The Solution.
When you are feeling unwell, it is recommended that you drink plenty of fluids. Therefore, I’m on my second mug of #coffee.
The Dreaded Lurgey
Started sniffing and sneezing a couple of days ago. Now, it’s progressed into a mild fever with aches and pains, headache, runny nose and so on.
What’s annoying is that I was about to go get my free flu jab as my local surgery started offering it yesterday as a walk-in.
Still Sorting Out Lightroom
I tried to combine photographs in Lightroom Classic with Lightroom Desktop. The reason is that the desktop app syncs across all my devices, including my MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Mac mini. However, the sync was probably too big, and I gave up waiting for it after a month, when Lightroom Desktop on my Mac mini wouldn’t allow me to edit anything at all. I have removed all the sync error files (over 250,000) and am now deleting them. I have the originals on my hard drive. I started this yesterday afternoon, and it’s been several hours already! #lightroom
Simple Formula For Living
Live beneath your means. Return everything you borrow. Stop blaming other people. Admit it when you make mistakes. Give clothes you no longer wear to charity. Do something nice and try not to get caught.
Hospital Appointment
This afternoon, it’s another visit to the hospital for an assessment for the forthcoming thyroid operation. It’s been postponed once, due to me now taking blood thinners following a DVT earlier in the year. Let’s hope we can get this done soon. It’s not life-threatening in any way, but the symptoms are annoying. #medical
Online Shopping
This morning’s order is exciting. Toilet Bowl Descaler, heavy-duty rubber gloves, and a set of optical screwdrivers.
Kindle or Kindle Reader App?
I have a 13 inch M1 iPad Pro, with plenty of storage. I was thinking about buying a new Kindle. A good idea or a waste of money, given that I have the iPad?
Job Done!
I don’t hang about when I finish work. Twenty minutes door to door, including a bus journey and a six minute walk from a further stop than usual. Three days off now.
It’s just after 9 am. I’m never usually in bed this late. Still can’t burn the candle at both ends, and that’s become more so as I’ve gotten older. For me, it’s a working Sunday, which I detest. Anyway, onwards and upwards!
Into The Small Hours
Working late messes up my body clock. I am usually in bed by ten and asleep soon afterwards.
This evening I got home around 11pm, and I am still wide awake after midnight thirty.
