Diary February 2024 February 29th

  Results of Jonathan ‘s diabetic eye screening came through. All is well. I spent 4 hours applying for a content creator role. Jonathan is still not putting clothes away, which is making his mornings harder, so I put socks, pants and trousers in his wardrobe for him. The home insurance was paid today so I moved enough money to cover it and filed the paperwork. My business bank card arrived. I now have business banking details. I updated the shopping against a meal plan for next week. I found the source of the smell in the fridge and cleaned it out. Having completed my work for the job application, I would have put it into a PDF once I’ve woken up from my afternoon sleep. I slept because I was exhausted. What woke me up was my son coming home, so I opted instead to cook his tea and be available to him. Gary does what he likes. I checked Jonathan’s blood sugars and they are a steady 6.3 now, but he still experiencing the rise after breakfast.

 Hello name Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to critique the blog and offer my opinion. As requested, please see below some bullet points on tweaking the SEO and the content.  CONTENT HUMOUR, WHILE I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED READING THIS PIECE, I FOUND IT QUITE a LONG ARTICLE. THERE ARE 23 TUTORIAL VIDEOS WHICH IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE THAT is WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR, a REALLY LONG. HELPFUL ARTICLE.. HOWEVER, IT’S NOT EASY TO DIGEST.  I am wondering if it could be converted into a series of shorter articles. They could lead one into the next, so having completed one, it could offer you the next one automatically so a person could still read All 23 viewed 23 but it wouldn’t be as much to take on at once, Rather like a tasting menu served in several Courses. 1. The title ‘How to start your natural organic skin care, business, step one create your skincare’ This title is too long. Shorten it to 50 to 60 characters. This example is 52 characters long, and I’ve put th...

 0,7 48 A very tiring morning so far. Jonathan catches his bus at 7:42 am. At 7:28 I suggested he should have his breakfast. He still had not taken his insulin. Jonathan needs to take his insulin 10 to 20 minutes before he eats. And prior to injecting him, he has to calculate his blood sugars so he knows how much insulin he needs to take with the carbohydrate level in the food he’s going to eat. If he injects himself in the stomach, he can eat as soon as 10 minutes after. If he injects himself in the leg, he has to leave it 20 minutes. So it’s 728, the soonest he can eat is 738. The bus leaves at 7:42. We don’t live at the bus stop. So obviously he also has to leave the house in time to walk to the bus.  This morning he was sockless, so he hasn’t put any of the clean washing away and didn’t have any socks, so he still had to find socks. Also, he uses his blazer as a sort of walking locker. They do not have lockers at school. I emptied his blazer yesterday, so I could wash the ...

Products of our past

 We are all of us products of our past. Not that it necessarily makes you, whatever you encountered in your past, you don’t become a rapist because you were raped, you don’t become a wife beater because your mother was beaten, you don’t become an abused wife because your mother was beaten. But you are shaped by your past. I am not my main spirited grandmother who like to hit me. She liked to give orders without reason or explanation, and simply expect them to be obeyed. Presumably because that gave her an opportunity to hit me.  She wouldn’t tell me something could or could not be done, simply not to. I do, however, not suffer Falls gladly. Foolish people, idiots, people that don’t think before speaking people that don’t check their facts before speaking people who don’t look around think about it see if they can sort it themselves before speaking, those people drive me mad. Liars drive me mad. People who don’t check their facts think for themselves look around before speaking...

Diary, February 2024 Monday 26th

 Monday, the 26th of February 0700 alarm wake up. Prepared carrot, cucumber and grapes for Jonathan s lunch. He was late coming down so I made his sandwich too. Two items due to be delivered today, I waited in for them. While I was waiting on I learnt, the rivers of the world and now can memorise 90 rivers. Grin. I went through my finances and calculated where I would be with each new payment of money in then read a piece on either and considered tax-free savings. Item 1 arrived. it is a lightbulb for the bathroom. I switched the electricity off at the fuse box, took a screw screwdriver, unscrewed the cover ,fitted the new lightbulb. Switch back at the fuse box . The light It works great. Screwing, the  cover back on was hard work made my arms ache, but I got there. Went through my e mails. Nothing job wise unless I take on ‘science YouTuber’, is a possibility. Saw a Nintendo game on sale - that ended yesterday. Oh well! Really good sale on from regatta clothes. Had to forgo t...

Behind

 He was vaguely aware that behind her generous and loving exterior, his mother actively shielded A hardened interior. He knew, by lore, his Mother’s own background and up bringing had toughened her. She never showed anything but empathy and  love. But just occasionally, there’d  be a chink in the armour, when he went too far and scratched it. In those brief glimpses, he saw his grandmother, his great grandmother, and his great great grandmother before her. Stemming from a very old East End family His grandparents ambition for a better quality of life had moved them 40 miles outside London. To areas dominated by Greater London Council Estates built to house overspill from the city. whole towns, transformed by massive housing Estates and the influx of Londoners. Councils welcoming with open arms, community centres, and sports halls that came with them. While native residents viewed them with suspicion.

Some managers are thick

 As more more companies employee managers who have no technical ability and yet they are managing technical teams, so it is important to protect the young new professionals. In my first job straight from university in my early 20s, I was working as a laboratory technician, operating both a quality controller, operatory and a research laboratory.  My research involved, a spectrometer, which operated with an air acetylene flame on a titanium head and ionised material, and then read the spectrum so that you could work out the chemical component of the material passed into it. For this operation, the material needed to be fully dissolved and so preparation of the samples required a furnace and the digestion with acid of the material into a liquid. Naturally, my managing director was keen to take advantage of the technology and the research I was completing. He called me to his office and asked me how soon a set of results could be reported upon. I calculated in my head the steps t...

Jobs

Dr Bigg, Chartered Engineer, PhD, Leader with 25 years experience talks about her career. Skills Dr Bigg. You are a highly skilled and accomplished Leader, scientist and Engineer. What would you tell a young engineer aspiring to a successful career?  I have never had a job that did not impart a new skill to me. Cleaning toilets, flipping burgers, cold calling. I have done all of these jobs while working my way through university. I have studied long enough hard enough and diligently enough to obtain a degree, a PhD, and two further university certificates. I have gained sufficient competencies as an engineer to become a chartered engineer, and to be accepted as a member of the Institute of chemical engineers. I have excelled in my field of process engineering sufficiently to be awarded the IChemE water award. I have published peer reviewed papers and been honoured to have had articles and leadership pieces that I have written published. I’ve appeared in Podcasts and I have mentored...
