Saturday June the 19th, 2021 -

The blurb -

Once again I forget what time I got to sleep, probably later than I would have liked.

My memory is worse lately, possibly from the build up of stress causing me to not be able to sleep well, and then when I am it’s so late that it’s noisy outside, so I’ve now gone to wearing earplugs to sleep all seven days of the week now, and then I have an earpiece in for work as well - for only around one hour per day I have nothing in my ears!

According to Louise, she read somewhere that having things in your ears so much can cause memory problems.  I’ve no idea why!

I went to fetch more laundry, because more clothes are being discovered in bags, and they all need washing to make sure they’re in a fit state to either keep or get rid.

I’ve just thought that it was about half past seven when I eventually got to sleep on Saturday morning, after getting in from work at about six o’clock.

I woke up at one o’clock in the afternoon.

I took the car for a drive after work you see, because of the short journeys not keeping the battery charged.

I left my car at Morrison’s, knowing that I’d be going to work less than two hours later. 

I think I went back home then, did the social media checking thing, watched more of the Rush concert (it takes me days to watch anything, hence why I often don’t watch much on the tv). Then I got ready for work, and left, getting to the office at five on the dot because of the bloody roadworks on a roundabout on the estate that the office is on. 

I was in the local run, handing my outer ring to Matt.  Less pressure, but also less money as well, when I need the money more than ever!

Nothing really happened incident wise at work, but I was stressed all night thinking about everything that is still going on.

Got some good listening in until I called Matt up to see how he was getting on. An hour and a half later I knew he was okay!

I left the office at around 5:30am, got to bed at a little after six o’clock, and am still awake now a little after 10am, when I have to get up at 2:30pm at the latest!

Show to get posted up (as I was leaving it for some people to send me show ads to include in there), and Morrison’s to go to I guess.

There’s never a second when I don’t have something to do! 

Casts -

NOTE: the update to iOS on my iPhone 6S is terrible with the Apple Podcasts app and is making it a pain to navigate. Spotify I’ve always been irritated by, because they show nothing in order, making it a bastard to find what you’re after and where you are in the show’s history.
