So bloody tired today and I have no idea why. Here's hoping I can stay awake until bed time because if I have a nap now I won't sleep properly later 😴

Most amused at the online ad I just saw from a proper old-school handmade footwear company headed "ONE OF A KIND SHOES" 😆
Help! Two nurses just burst into my flat and stole my blood! 😱 (Actually they let themselves in using the spare keys from the lockbox downstairs and took a sample to check my INR levels, but they weren't due until tomorrow so it was a bit of a surprise)
Felt industrious today so I did some housebeating & make enough room for me to actually get to the spare computer properly on my wheels whenever they arrive. Also the computer desk in the bedroom is more compact than main setup but has less outside noise so I may well use it for online stuff 😎
That Julie's back again then - bye bye who/whatever you are!
Back from my visit with the Wheelchair People. If they have the right size in their warehouse then I can have one within a week, but if not it's 6 to 8 more weeks waiting time. I am definitely confirmed to get one though - yay! 😁

Seeing some chat about the Definitely Not Gerry Anderson's UFO miniatures someone's brought out it reminded me of this slightly off-kilter cover of the theme tune by Hawkwinder Alan Davey 🛸 youtu.be/OfTrPJpT-K8?...

Today's plan involves getting my stuff together for tomorrow morning's ambulance ride to the wheelchair people for my final assessment of what variety I need, and measurements to ensure I actually fit. Another step forward in improving the way my life is going so that's a bonus 😎
How the heck is it October already? Not enjoying the way tempus really does fugit as I get older, and things go zooming past me now that I'm mostly stuck indoors. 🙄

Still tired all the time but thanks to my wonderful sister my flat just had another round of light housebeating - might even make it look half decent by the time we clear the rubbish and other old tat and finally get the furniture rearranged! 😁

So tired today I can barely catch up with my freinds overmight and morning posts on the socials. There's no reason for me to be so tired but here we are 😴 I'm not ready to go back to bed in case I stay there until I finally fade away - I ain't going out like that as the song says!
Waiting to see the after action reports of those who attended KamCon at the weekend, partly because I have been unable to attend cons this year and partly because I have almost zero chance of getting over to Canada - therefore I need to live vicariously! 😉

Feeling very old and a little out of tune today. Everything I really used to like was 30 years and more ago! Sometimes I feel a bit like Captain Cat from "Under Milk Wood" by Dylan Thomas, having conversations with the ghosts of his long-ago past. 1/2
Dear BBC radio news, why mention the nationality of the human traffickers arrested in Scotland? "36 people arrested for suspected human trafficking offences" does the job just fine, unless you have an agenda to push...

Weird Sunday, felt a bit lonely but also didn't really want to talk to anyone 🙁 Very odd feeling. Hope you're all doing OK? Catch you later.
For those interested it is the 65th anniversary of one of the most (in)famous UFO incidents, the Hill abductions. 🛸 www.bettybarneyhillufo.com

I just made a mistake. Was cleaning out some ancient emails and came across a ton of messages related to my fanzine efforts from years ago - made me sad that it all went to pot and it's made it very difficult for me to start anything creative ever since then 😕 I really should leave the past alone!

A bunch of my friends are at Concrete Cow and others are at the Innsmouth Literary Festival this weekend, and as usual I'm stuck at home. Just wish I found it easier to let things pass rather than sit here feeling useless but that's something I am trying to learn. Whatever you're up to, enjoy it 😎
The "Share the last 4 TTRPGs you played" thing is going around again, but sadly it's been so long that I really can't remember what they were, or where I played them and with whom 😢

Aha, looks like it's time for another delivery for me by APC.
Kelly's father George Carlin used to do a routine about "advertising and bullshit" and he was quite right.
Kelly Carlin-McCall@kellycarlin.bsky.social · 3w agoHas anyone else seen that META commercial that uses the Bowie song “Five Years”? WHAT THE FUCK? Sacrilege, evil, creepy. Oh, the irony. It’s just too much. youtu.be/8gPSGrpIlkc?...
