Lock-down Day 170

A good night with an early mewly morning. Followed by a quiet cup of coffee, after which mippies mip and mewl for lots and lots of time!

Next door is the usual quiet-we're-hungover time, which never lasts.

Cor blimey are mippies demanding today! I've just spent about half an hour with Janey! She wants to walk on my arms, curl up in my arms,. walk across me - and she's shedding so much, I'm breathing in her fur!

And she comes back for more again and again and again. All day long! You'd think she wants to cheer me up, or something :) Well, I could do with it, as I'm feeling really down today.

Having looked at that place yesterday got me thinking ... on the one hand, renting on a small holding, like I am now, would probably be the happiest option for my mippies - and the safest! I am absolutely terrified any of them could get run over! But on the other hand, it will ALWAYS be a situation of some form of intimacy with the landlord - and, no matter what kind of person the landlord / landlady is ... I prefer privacy. I've tried very hard to make this place work - even though I have practically no privacy here. And I think, I prefer privacy.

The house I looked at on Thursday would have been good, even though it could use quite a bit of work. If only the garden had been suitable. So, I had better keep a daily eye out for houses available - I've noticed that they go very fast! I've done too much thinking and too little calling so far. Time to get over my anxiety. Fortunately, I can. What I mean is, it's not a chronic condition - I'm able to get over it, with will-power. Not everyone is that lucky!

Afternoon and boeremusik is back at full blast! You'd think there's a crowded party going on! Sigh ... at least they never carry on very late, even on weekends.

I miss my cookies! Tomorrow I really should make time to bake cookies again! I got quite a bit done today - laundry, dishes, I even washed and chopped some tobacco! I've been smoking standard cigarettes a lot this past week - mostly, because they don't drop embers and I don't need to make them ... but I actually prefer my own! Even though they drop embers at times, but they taste much, much better!

Well, although I'm feeling down, I've done so much mippie cuddling, I feel okay. Hopefully even better tomorrow ...
