My life

Maybe it's because I've little left to lose, but I paid for a spiritualist to give us a reading for the future. I have used this service before and they were right. We faced a rent rise that might be an excuse to drive us out, but they saw us continuing in peace. And they were right. If my mother does not come back here to live, I could not continue living here. So, faced with the nightmare of no place to live, I felt I would take a gamble. The doctors have told us she may make a full recovery... Sign in to see full entry.

It turns out Mum has a fracture to the spine. We are not too sure how she got that. It might have been a fall, although she complained of a bad back long before that. She did spend a long time laying down in bed, but I can't believe it's through that alone. Anyway, she seems to be ok, and in good spirits. I am worried about her coming home. For once we got to talk to the Doctors, and I asked them straight if she would walk again and even recover. They said, although due to her age, it might take... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum had fall last night and after calling the emergency services, we managed to get her in an ambulance and she's back in the hospital. I am worried she might be very frightened by going there. They only seem to find more bad news. But she does need looking at. One thing which worries me is that she has such weakness in her legs. This might be due to the trapped nerve in her back, and the ambulance guys did point this out. Anyway, the doctor rang me back and said they were keeping her in for... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum had another fall yesterday. She's OK, but I'm worried she might be getting worse. Of course, she refuses to see the Doctor. Which might be for the best. I went to the surgery last week to book an appointment, but the doctor never turned up. So I went back to ask why, only to get the reply that they were thinking about her, and she was on the urgent list. When I asked if the doctor would get back to us, they replied that the doctor had taken a week off work as it was the school holidays. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Just watched a chilling film on the BBC about companies re-creating your lost love ones in VR, so you can carry on talking to them. I was horrified at first. Mostly because they creat them from their old social media posts. Which set me wondering. What if my family wanted to re-creat me from my old Blogit posts? I very much doubt they do. But what if a future ME wanted to re-invent the olf ME. Just to find out what I was really like? It's a subject I've toyed with over the years. I think was it... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is it that all my emails get hacked? Not exactly broken into, but somehow the scammers can find them and my spamming alerts are full Somehow they can track me across the world and target my accounts. I am seriously considering opening up new email accounts in order to preserve important things like my Microsoft account. Not to mention the bank and the business account. I have to admit these email accounts were opened years ago, when I was involved in pyramid selling. So the spammers have me... Sign in to see full entry.

I really want to add things of substance here. I can remember when I would work on an article in the hope of selling it to a professional website. We have A.I. for that now. The articles I wrote were very rewarding. Even if I never made a penny from them. The subjects were wide and varied because I genuinely wanted to say something. Now, I just struggle through the day, moaning about my lot. I once read an article saying that many 19th-century novelists wrote long books because that was the only... Sign in to see full entry.

Waited in all day for the visiting Doctor, who never turned up. If there is anything left of the National Health Service, I would have thought this still worked. Mother does feel a bit better, although the trapped nerve in her back isn't letting up. She agrees to stop taking the co-codamal tablets, as they do little to help. We had weeks of doing nothing and when it comes to it, everything falls at once. I had to cancel my dental appointment and put it back to Friday. The Wilson Alarms man is...

After a year away, I've decided to come back and take up writing again. Can't say why it took so long, but I always felt at home here and enjoyed the writing. It's not up to me, to say if it was my best writing, but there were some moments when I felt I got to the point. A lot has happened to our family. I'm a full-time carer for my mother, and we have never been more financially well off. The stocks I buy do very well, and I almost feel guilty about saying it. In fact, I'm not entitled to any...

I can remember this as being the most important book in our house. If you let it drop on the table it automatically fell open on the toys page. The whole economy seemed to rest on this at the time. Now we call it Ebay, but it was for us a window on a world we could only dream about. Other than that: Burley horse trials week. Weather misty, but warm. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.
