Lock-down Day 84

I woke up early, but only got up at seven. Mippies were restless - I'm sorry, but I'm going to work, darlings! They complained so much that I poured my coffee into my thermos mug and went off ...

At work, I was supposed to 'just quickly' do the production plan ... sigh ... I ended up spending hours fixing delivery notes sent out the past couple of days ... Seriously, it's not that difficult!?!

I also had a chance to have a chat with my boss. First the good news: the biggest tosser is gone! That's such good news, it almost overshadows the bad. But the bad is not quite as bad: I'm told to stress, but don't panic. Which basically means that my job - as such - is secure, but on an ad hoc basis for the time being. I won't be earning a full salary in the foreseeable future.

We bounced around a few ideas, and now my head is spinning with the possibilities. I need some time to slow down and plan ... this could work out to my advantage, in the long run.

When I got home, I let the mippies out - and didn't see them for ages! You'd think they didn't miss me at all! I also saw a message from a friend, offering to help me! Wow! That quite stunned me! It left me speechless for quite a while ... and THAT takes some doing!

I didn't get much else done today. I showered, played my game, and sat thinking, thinking, thinking ... 

Mippies came without much trouble. Mewthos was a little late, but not very. He wheedled a third sachet out of me, the pig! He just sits down and starts gobbling with such evident enjoyment ... it's a pleasure to watch! Even though he's a noisy eater - funny how that's okay in a cat, eh? Not pleasant when people do it. His head bobbed into neighbouring bowls whenever his was low, and the ladies were also still eating, so I kept re-filling his, so they could eat their share in peace. I finished up with a chicken heart each. Gobble, gobble, gobble! I fried myself a small steak - which I had to share with Ziva and Mewthos! Mewthos just couldn't get enough! You'd think he was starving!

I made myself several cups of tea, just to warm up! Ai, it's cold! I do NOT like winter! Mewthos had another 'restless mewling, mommy catch me' episode, but he's finally settled down - albeit a little apart from the ladies. Tomorrow I just get my milk again, and I'm home the rest of the day. For now, I'll watch a few more episodes of 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents'. I'm quite enjoying the humour!
