Blacksmiths Were the Original Mixed Business

Blacksmiths Were the Original Mixed Business

I know, my posts have been so cryptic lately, why’s that? There has just been so much happening and going on, it’s hard to keep things simple. Remember, simple can be boring.

I purchased some Billy’s at the Swedish Warehouse to store my DVDs in my new home.
Billy’s, a type of slim shelving units purpose built for CD’s or DVD’s, conveniently. Swedish Warehouse? IKEA. You are welcome.


Even getting a project like this to completion is a multi-faceted project. Who has the muscle, who has the appropriate method of transport? Also, who can put it together?

Eventually, it came together and a few extra hours over a few weeks for the right carer to unpack boxes and build. Four Billie’s leaning against my bookcases in my study. Looking weirdly like coffins in an old blacksmiths business. I will hope the Meme Queen can bring the image to us here.

One of my older carers, I explained my intention for storing two pieces of carpet off cuts so I could store them elsewhere, and she opened the last box, everyone pitching in to the best of their abilities and physical capacities. Sometimes, I explain my plan for world domination and over time they see said “Plan” coming together they understand how I work and if they can do anything to get the plan to come together, they will help. I came from my bathroom after my shower to see this.

Bloody nearly died. I hadn’t expected her to make it happen, I only told her what I planned to try and achieve, so she just pitched in and got it done. I told her it looked like a Dead Body. She didn’t disagree. I should totally put it in my storage cage in the undercover car park and if anyone wants to imagine it’s a D.B. and it sends the message not to mess with me. This could work to my advantage. Maybe this post should have been called “D.B.?”

Rehab – Part 2

Rehab Part 2

Rehab – Part 2

Things to do when you are in rehab and bored.

Bored in Rehab

If you can –

  1. I took a box of rather generic chocolates, someone had given me so that I could give them away.
  2. Once you have eaten all the good ones, the orange coated ones, the Turkish Delights, you get the idea.
  3. Offer them to all your favourite people.
  4. Not the people with diabetes, without will power. (I will not be your drug dealer)
  5. And only if you are like me (bit cheeky). Wait until 2am when you can’t sleep and wander out to the nurses’ station when everyone else seems to be asleep. (including all but one night nurse)

Chocolate for nurses 1

I know this, because as I was making my way back to my shared room, I saw a nurse (male nurse) walking back towards the nurse’s station. He gave me a look as if to say I did need anything? I shook my head and indicated all was well. I went back to bed and he came into check on me. He asked what’s up? And I told him I couldn’t sleep, I had left some ‘things’ down at the nurse’s station. I told him, I hadn’t been up to anything bad.

Caught out

I had just creatively hidden the chocolates around the nurse’s station. Under phone handpieces, on top of light boxes, on top of power switches, behind things on the desktop.

Hiding chocolates

Just anywhere I would come out and do a lap of the floor cruising slowly past the nurse’s station. Eventually, they were all discovered.

Finding Chocolate

Life is short, have some fun.

Life is too short

All I’m saying.
