Trying to contain myself
Such an exciting week lies ahead.
I am positively bursting with excitement.
The first rivetingly exciting event happens tomorrow. They are going to release a new version of WordPress! Wow. But gone are the good old days when a new version brought all sorts of exciting changes such as a new look or brand new features. As far as I can make out this version just fucks around further with their abominable Gutenberg editor. So this update probably just means it will fuck up all my sites.
I phoned the crowd who are supposed to be insulating the house against all the cold weather we have already had. Apparently we are second on the list! Great. Maybe then I can replace all the crap on the window ledges that we removed weeks ago so they could replace the windows. There is one thing I can guarantee though – as soon as all the insulation is done to keep us nice and warm, we are going to have a long blisteringly hot summer. I always buy a new raincoat before a holiday as it guarantees a cloudless sky. That’s also the reason I never buy sun-glasses which have the opposite effect.
On Thursday I have an appointment with Doc to see if he has any fresh ideas about the infection up my nose. I have already been through three courses of antibiotics but I am still blowing out horrible sticky snots, wiping up drips on my nose, sneezing and suffering stinging or aching up the nostrils and a generally painful face. Then there is the disgusting smell, which I can only describe as a cross between a three week old cadaver and burning feathers.
Then the weekend marks the start of summer time when the evenings will be brighter. I’m not worried about the mornings getting darker as usually I’m asleep through that bit.
And sometime I had better do the washing up which I have been meaning to do since last Wednesday. The room is in a bit of a state too with paper all over the place mopping up dog piss mixed with paper I have used to blow my nose.
Don’t I lead an exciting life?
I hope I haven’t made anyone jealous…
Has a tooth abscess been ruled out? If an infected tooth is near the sinuses behind your cheeks the infection can get into these sinuses. Hope they can figure it out soon. Sounds pretty miserable.
The teeth are grand [all three of them]. It’s an infection of the septum [the bit that separates the nostrils]. It started on one side and then spread to the other. It is extremely sensitive and I can’t touch my nose without a lot of pain. That tends to happen a lot as I have to keep blowing it, but can’t wipe it after. It’s messy!
Good insulation works both ways. Stops heat leaving, stops heat coming in.
Unless you believe in Warble Gloaming – then CO2 let’s heat come into Earth but stops heat leaving Earth. A sort of thermal diode.
Time to relate the David Beckham and the Thermos flask joke.
