A bit boring!

 Not much to report really, not a lot has happened since the dementia testing on Thursday.  I do feel a bit deflated at the thought of having to go through it again on Tuesday, I just want it over and done and a diagnosis reached.  I'm not looking forward to the (probable) outcome, but at the moment I just feel we're in limbo.  It will hopefully feel easier - well, as much as it can be - once a diagnosis is given, at least we'll have a better idea of what we're dealing with.  Husband isn't saying much, as usual he just shrugged when I asked him how he feels.

A bit of light relief this morning, if a bit surreal.  Problem relative sent a soft porn short reel to a female member of the family in the early hours of the morning, understandably she was quite shocked and upset.  If it were me, I'd have just replied with a short and to the point "WTF??", but the recipient relative has told us all and asked for a senior member of the family to get in touch with PR and give him a dressing down.  He claims he has no memory of doing it, has given all sorts of excuses along the lines of it must have been a mistake, he was probably very tired, didn't realise he'd done it, etc etc.  I should add he's not a drinker - well, as far as we know! - although he does suffer with mental health problems and lives in his own little surreal world.  It gave some of us a good laugh anyway, and I doubt he'll repeat it in a hurry!  I guess lots of families have one embarrassing relative - I asked husband who's his family one and he immediately said it was his mother!  Whilst I can partly agree with that, I'd have said he shared the honours with her 😂 (I didn't say it to him though!).

Nice sunny day today, but noticeably colder.  We're off to the car boot sale this afternoon, will wrap up well.  Burgers and salad for dinner later whilst watching Strictly, husband's having a BBQ pork one I think, I'll have my usual Linda McC mozzarella one.  On the subject of Strictly and the new presenters, I think Emma is good, she's a consummate professional and it shows.  JoJo is good doing the couple interviews, he's such a luvvie (and I love him), good fun and very empathetic.  Josh - well, I don't know what to make of him really, I do like him as a comedian but think he's out of his depth on Strictly, he gives the impression of not knowing what he's doing half the time, and can be very annoying - he seems to pick up on something early in the show (like Anton being a bit grumpy last week, although he wasn't really, just teasing) and then spends the entire show repeating it ad infinitum.  I didn't really know/hadn't heard of more than half of this year's contestants, the producers certainly seem to be going all out to attract a younger audience.  Which strikes me as a bit strange, as surely most younger people will be out on a Saturday night, not staying in watching TV!  Can you tell I've got nothing of interest to say.....😂😂

  1. I do hope you get some answers quickly. Waiting is terrible. Once you know, for good or bad, what you're dealing with you will be able to make plans to deal with it.
    I did sort of laugh about PR, but I can understand the recipient being upset. The black sheep in my family I guess is my brother. He was always a pain as a child, then emigrated to Australia at 18, onboard a cargo vessel. I now wonder if he was on the autism spectrum. Husband's family has a few black sheep, too. A couple of his cousins fell out, because one thought the other was after her husband. (She wasn't). They haven't spoken for decades, and when their Dad celebrated his 100th birthday, only one of his 3 children attended.Talk about holding a grudge! xx

  2. I can understand you feeling deflated Sooze. When husband missed his appointment with the memory clinic I actual cried, it had taken five months to arrive at that point. I rang the services and explained the situation apologising profusely. The lady who I spoke to was very kind I think she could tell I was upset. We now have an appointment for 9th
    November. Like you it’s stressful waiting for an appointment and on the day you are anxious. Only to go through it all over again. Due to husband being chatty and joking has prolonged it for you so I understand why you feel deflated. Sending commiserations. June x
