I struggled to fall asleep, but that's simply because I've been staying in bed late in the mornings. I tried staying in bed till eight this morning, but failed. Mewthos hung around for, I know not what ... eventually he went off ... for such a long time that I eventually decided to take a chance and get my milk ... and that is when he came running! Ha Ha Ha!
Ziva and Mini joined Mewthos inside while I went to get milk. After that, I kind of just hung around ... my body wasn't very active, but my mind was working overtime. Planning, details, how, etc. Work stuff mostly.
I baked 2 loaves of bread, one for me, one for At. I baked the last batch of cookie dough - a meager 10 cookies! But I also made more dough, so tomorrow I can bake more. I fried myself a slice of meat - which I shared generously with Mewthos.
I watched Coronacast - which was really frightening! Our government is spending more money than it's earning - and has no plan how that's going to work. Oh, they want to take control of the Reserve Bank, so they can print more money ... I'm just shaking my head in disbelief! We'll have to wait and see the budget announcement ... I'm not sure I have the stomach for that.
Cigarette sales are still banned ... and I'm running out of smokes. I can't afford another illegal carton, especially at the current exorbitant prices - although I heard that prices are dropping again? I'll ask my colleague tomorrow. Maybe another packet ... hopefully my leaves will arrive soon! I still don't know how I'll turn them into cigarettes - I'm useless at rolling them! I used to have a little rolling machine, and even with that they weren't always good. That's not going to stop me, though - I'll learn!
The friend who referred me to this option just messaged me, she hasn't received her order, yet, and has had no response to inquiries, either - she's worried it may be a scam. I've been reading the posts, lots of people have received their orders - but lots are also waiting. I think this business opportunity was simply 'thrown together' too fast - and they've been overwhelmed with orders even faster. Now they're trying to organise - and I guess that means orders aren't processed on a first-come-first-served basis. I have a feeling they are completely snowed under and just can't cope ... never mind with just the orders, but now they are equally inundated with inquiries, I guess. If the ban is really lifted on 1st July, it's possible that will be sooner than my receiving my leaves - but I'm okay with that. Well, not really, as I'm on my very last packet of cigarettes ... but ... well ... I'll just wait and see!
Ziva is driving me up the wall! First, she doesn't come home when I call. I wait and wait, I call and call ... nothing. I'm getting worried. Mewthos is driving me nuts, with Mini as an echo ... no Ziva. Eventually, as I'm at the door, I hear something moving around outside ... clearly animal, not human, so I unlock the door, take my LED lamp and look. Around the corner, Ziva is trying to get at something hiding behind my compost bags. Not even acknowledging my existence! I pick her up and carry her - all four legs akimbo, claws out (though not scratching me) inside! Not happy! Okay, dash to the food bowl, I give some food ... and then she goes nuts! Mip mip mip mip, running around like a crazy thing, sitting by the door mip mip mip - insisting I must let her out. On and on and on and on ... I scratch her ears, I scratch her back, I try everything. She just wants out! NO! Yes ... NO! This went on for about an hour! And that's AFTER I've already had to wait for her an hour and a half! Finally, finally she gave up! She's now curled up on the bed. Sulking. Her eyes are open, she's just curled up, not napping like the others. Looks like she's going to go off again soon ...
Just saw an announcement that VW have turned part of their factory into a field hospital! Yup, that's the factory in Uitenhage, PE, where I worked. I wonder if they'll add robot-nurses? It looks like they'd fit in perfectly ... factory floor, factory work station partitions ... beds in a row from end to end.
That little mutton chop was not enough for me, I was still hungry. So I heated a can of soup, had a couple of slices of fresh bread and finished with the last muffin. I'll have to think of something better for tomorrow.
Ah ... tomorrow. I considered going shopping before going to work ... and then re-considered. Better first write a 'only this and nothing else' shopping list.
Looks like Ziva has finally settled down! She's now also got her eyes closed. They look like furry worms when they're each curled up like that. Or like greyish shrimps! Plus one black shrimp! Or kitty doughnuts! Ha Ha!
I'd love to go for a last smoke before I go to bed ... sigh ...
