I'm back under my rock
I'm quite fatigued tonight. Must be forced socialisation: I went for a haircut and boy, that barber liked to talk! Among other information, apparently there is a local barber nearby who offers "extras" with the haircuts. I have a feeling that's just the one which offers a 5-min neck massage, but speculation ranged far beyond this!
M's care provider rang me back [I called them to say it was three weeks since I'd queried them about a change to M's services]. It wasn't the person I had been led to expect, and it looks to me that yet another coordinator has run screaming. I've managed to make an appointment for this guy to come around and talk to me and M about what she wants, which involves bathroom assistance. So we'll see if I learn anything more then. I got the call while I was unlocking the bike to leave, and that was a very busy road, but I managed.
I'd ridden the 6 kilometres or so to Subi for the haircut and also to visit an Asian fruit and veg store - Golden Choice - which has all the 'usual' fruit and veg but also a lot of the Asian specialties. Very good prices. They had pawpaw.
Then I needed to drop by M's place and make sure the meet up was going to work, since phone calls with M don't work too well these days. Has to be in person. This turned out to be tea time! I knew I'd be making said tea but that was ok, I needed some myself by then. After that I got to go home and do a bit more organising before I could flake out. I've signed up to a study that wants to find out how useable the Carer Gateway website is, and I've spent some time there, so I put in to do this. They pay per hour. Hopefully I don't have to actually talk to people, but I will if I have to.
A short while ago I woke the rats up for dinner. Who's the dumb creature now?
