I haven’t done nursing day shifts for months, tomorrow and Friday I’ve got two twelve hour shifts . It will be nice to sleep at night, rather than grab a few hours during the day . Today I was counselling and was looking forward to war of the worlds at Theatre Clwyd tonight, but the production had been cancelled due to a flood. When I got there visitors and staff including the chefs and waiting on staff at Bryn Williams were marooned outside.
Disappointed I drove home.
Some days turn out to be washouts…..I listened to The Archers on the way home and met the new characters of lottie ( who is bound to be dating Chris Carter yawn) and the dreadful Bert Horrobin ( who has morphed into an old pirate. Carol Tregoran has also morphed into an old witch with actress Eleanor Bron leaving the role back in 2018 which is interesting
I could write better characters
I’m in a funny mood today
I’ve signed up for a simple cremations send off with a very nice sales lady called Gupta this afternoon
Mz Gupta was direct and sweet and when I told her I lived alone with 2 cats and 2 dogs she quipped strangely “ animals are so much nicer than people as long as you feed them “
It’s been odd planning things after my death
Some days, everything seems to be off kilter from the word go. Sorting your cremation, although highly commendable, isn't a bundle of laughs, either. Still, you can put that to the back of your mind now, and just enjoy life! I hope the day shifts aren't too arduous (12 hours!!!!) and you get to Theatre Clwyd very soon. xx

DeleteWishing you well on those day shifts and hope all is dried out so you can see War of the Worlds soon.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten the forms to leave our bodies to the local medical school. They state a year or so after death our cremated remains will be returned to the family. It makes for odd thoughts, doesn't it?
Hugs!
I prefer day shifts but it's hard work when you're working on a floor. I got lucky with diagnostic imaging which was only days.
ReplyDeleteDeath preparation seems like a smart idea. I think I'll look into that as well. I can't imagine my husband having a fucking clue of what to do if I died before him:)
I made my own preplanned arrangements a couple of years ago and yes, it does feel weird. Simple cremation for me too, followed by scattering in a nearby municipal cemetery. I had to go and get the scattering permit myself from the City in advance, to be placed on my preplanned file. Bit awkward when they asked for date of death, lol. And now, of course, every time I drive by the cemetery in question, you know what runs through my mind!
