I woke up somewhere around 6 AM.
The first thing I thought of was to go and let the cat in...from the back garden; and, feed her.
Then, I kept her inside of the house this time...she seems to want to be an 'outdoor' cat...; and, I'm not really sure I want that; which is to say, as soon as I've fed her...she instantly runs back outside into the back garden, again; and, then, I find it very difficult attempting to get her to come back in especially after her stomach is already full.
In particular, I fear that she might be going into other people's houses...who may be feeding her, instead; because when I call her...she doesn't always come...especially, when it's feeding time...which she normally would do.
7:35 AM SHARON RANG ME TO REMIND ME TO GO TO BRIXTON TO CHECK OUT ID NEEDED TO ACCESS FUNDS
I got a phone call from Sharon...asking me to give her the 'latest' news in regards to my mum. I told her about Trevor and Millicent's hospital visit, yesterday; as well as, my own cancelled journey.
She also told me that today is now Monday; and, I should remember to go down to Brixton to sort out what ID might be needed to access funds.
She also mentioned that either the 185/75 busses do go to Lewisham Hospital. One you can get from Oval or Vauxhall/another from Crystal Palace.
I thanked her very much for the reminder; wished her a nice day; and, then, closed our conversation.
7:40 AM THOUGHTS
The time is now 7:40 AM...and, my thinking is...I'm continuing with my usual routine...which I was doing before my mum had entered hospital.
Namely, I go and get 3 copies of the FREE Metro newspaper from West Norwood train station; then, come back home to deposit/store it.
I then go and make breakfast/food/drink...
I also go and do everything the same money wise.
So, in many ways, very little has changed...except my mum is no longer here with me, anymore. Hopefully, she will get better...; and, will be back, again, in future...that's what I'm sincerely both hoping and praying for.
One thing that has changed is, I'm afraid, I stopped doing any studying online: YouTube/Open University/Udemy/Skillshare/-etc.; due to my not being able to fully concentrate.
As my feelings of ever constant worrying...how will my mum fare...will she come out of hospital/or, not...?! Also dealing with feelings of 'depression' does very slowly lift...; then, I'm sure, I will return back to doing some more online studying; sometimes, one needs studying in order to distract one...from always thinking about the self/or, others
1:30 PM WENT TO SLEEP/AWOKE
I'm really not too sure exactly what time I went to bed to catch up on getting some further sleep...; but, I do know that I was lying in bed watching TV...when I must have suddenly dropped off.
Anyway, I awoke close to 1:30 PM...all the time thinking that Lewisham Hospital visiting hours are from: 2 PM-8 PM.
However, in the mean time, I still have few other very important tasks to attend to.
1:35 PM SORTED OUT PLUGS/EQUIPMENT BEHIND TV
Decided to sort out of the wire mess behind the TV area; where there are 2 multi-plugs...much to my surprise one of these multi-plugs is not actually in use anymore; therefore, I packed all of the related wires/equipment into a single plastic bag; and, at least, behind the TV looks slightly less cluttered, now.
1:45 PM PGTB/KEMI RUNG ME/PGTB LATEST TIME SCHEDULE
Paxton Green Time Bank support worker: Kemi, phoned me. She told me the 'latest' schedule is as follows...
Wed 27 Nov 19 10AM-4PM Kingswood house/lunch/DWP-Dulwich Picture Gallery workshop
Thu 28 Nov 19 11AM-4PM Kingswood house/mixed workshops
eBay seller: Photography/eBay/GumTree/...selling workshop - no specific date(early DEC19, possibly)
Shakespeare Globe(sometime DEC19/winter concert/sitting seats-not standing)
https://tfl.gov.uk
I signed into my TFL-Transport For London online a/c.; and, topped it up with £15.00 credit.
So, if the balance before was £18.xx; and, I add £15.00 to that...I should now have a balance left of: £33.xx.
2:10 PM TOPPED UP MY TALKTALK A/C. WITH £35.00
https://www.talktalk.co.uk
I topped up my TalkTalk a/c. with £35.00; this should leave me with a balance of £130.00 credit.
The monthly bill -(due to be paid on the 11th of each month)- is somewhere around £30.00; thus, at least, 4 months should already be covered, now; this month Nov19 has already been paid on the 11th; so that means the credit should last through to: DEC19/JAN20/FEB20/MAR20.
2:20 PM DID ONLINE JOB SEARCH: 10 APPLICATIONS
https://www.findajob.gov.uk
I completed doing 10 x online job searches.
2:30 PM TOPPED UP TV LICENCE: £30
https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk
I went to my online TV Licence a/c.; and, topped up the balance by paying: £30.00.
3 PM WENT ROSEBERRY'S/COLLECTED SOME FREE AUCTION CATLOGUES
As I was going down the road...I stopped in two places...
-> Eammaus, to see what art they have there for sale
-> Roseberry's, to both see the art/and, also, collect some FREE auction catalogues
3:30 PM WEST NORWOOD POST OFFICE
I deposited £50.00 into my current a/c.
4 PM RETURNED HOME TO DROP OFF CATALOGUES
The 8 or so auction catalogues I picked up were really heavy to carry inside of a single bag; so, I decided as I'm still so close to home...might as well go home, and, leave them there...that way I don't have to carry it around with me all evening long.
4:30 PM BRIXTON/SORTED
The first trip I made was to Brixton...without going into too much details...the Brixton trip went ok.
5 PM STOCKWELL/PICKED UP THE LETTERS...NOTHING IMPORTANT/JUST ADVERTS
My second trip was over to Stockwell, Beckett House; to go and pick up any letters.
5:30 PM STOCKWELL TUBE STATION - TOPPED UP MY OYSTER CARD: £20.00
I put £20.00 on my Oyster travel card at Stockwell tube station. My current balance now says: £38.40 credit(with another £15.00 to be added on when I touch my card against the yellow card reader when taking a bus...as I already topped up with £15.00 online earlier).
6 PM VAUXHALL...BIRTH/DEATH REGISTRATION PLACE MOVED TO BRIXTON TOWN HALL
My third trip was to Vauxhall 'birth and death' registrations...to get a copy of my birth certificate; I discovered they are no longer there...and, in fact, have moved back to Brixton Town Hall. So, maybe, I will visit Brixton Town Hall, tomorrow.
7 PM WORKED OUT HOW TO GET TO LEWISHAM BY BUS FROM VAUXHALL STATION
Also, at Vauxhall station...I discovered that at Bus stop C...there are two busses that will take you over to Lewisham...the 436/and, the 185. I think, I need to take the 185 in order to go to Lewisham Hospital.
-(Of course, being on a bike...I couldn't take my bike onto the bus...unless it's a folding bike/which it's not; so, instead, I decided to cycle back home.)-
MISSED VISITING MY MUM IN HOSPITAL, AGAIN, DURING THIS EVENING (2 DAYS IN A ROW)
Most unfortunately, it was far too late to go and visit seeing my mum in hospital. So, I decided to leave it until when tomorrow comes. (It's not easy for me to miss the trip...; as my mum is really old/weak/frail...furthermore, is not eating/drinking properly...so, absolutely anything could happen, next?! Therefore, spending time with her is, indeed, precious. So, my conscience racks me an awful lot. However, if visiting time closes at 8 PM...and, the time is now 7:48 PM; then, it's really quite clear that I'm not going to make it there on time. So there's really very little I can do about it until when tomorrow comes...; in particular, I was thinking of taking her some clothes.)
8:30 PM PHONED BOTH SHARON/MILLICENT TO GIVE THEM THE LATEST UPDATE
I phoned both Sharon/Millicent to give them the 'latest update' about my financial/missed visit situation/missing birth certificate.
9:43 PM HEATING UP SOME FOOD THAT SHARON GAVE ME
Yesterday, Sunday, Sharon gave me some food in Tupperware...which I'd somehow lost inside of the house; however, this evening I found it, again; and, am currently in the process of heating it up, right now. Curry and rice.
