Lock-down Day 300

I had a really lovely dream, this morning, about my dad! We were in my garden, at the back fence, where a fish eagle had built a nest, and we were working together to save the chick ... yeah, that part makes no sense whatsoever, but hey: it's a dream! Anyway, we were talking, and my dad was telling me how proud he is, that I'm so happy! He'd never have thought it possible, I've achieved none of the goals he'd been so sure one must achieve in life to be happy - and yet, I'm undeniably happy! He asked if we could talk sometime, and I said that I'd like that very much ... and then the alarm went off ...

The dream started to evaporate as soon as I woke up, but I held on to the memory - it did, however, leave me feeling deeply loved! Given, that the last thing my dad ever said to me, was how much of a burden I am ... anyway, not going to taint my feeling with outdated memories now!

Back at home (I'm skipping work - nothing worth writing about), I didn't see Smeagol. Again. Now I'm getting worried, it's not like him to skip two days in a row? Ah, but he was just waiting for me to come outside! As soon as he saw me, he called and came for his dinner! And then he wouldn't eat? When I looked, it was already covered in ants ... within minutes! So I gave him a pouch of Royal Canin wet food. The kitten one, which my mippies are currently not too keen on. He gobbled that up in no time! Funny thing: he's been eating well. Good, nutritious food. Yet he still looks really skinny? Maybe it'll just take some time?

I didn't have much energy tonight, so I just watered. Then went inside - mippies came without any trouble - gave them their treats, showered ... now I made myself a milk shake, I'll watch an episode then bed.

I've been finding this lack of energy somewhat irritating. I know it's a lot to do with many paws, because I get these episodes where I feel like I'm burning up, in the middle of the night. And the same throughout the day. One minute I'm cool, next minute I'm soaked! Fun, eh? Well, I've decided to go back on the vitamins I used to take for a while. I stopped when the price went up again - but I found them on special, substantially cheaper than what I used to pay. No, I wasn't stupid then - I compared prices, I always do! Anyway, they should arrive this week.

The meat I ordered arrived today - even though I specified delivery for Thursday. Sigh. No worries, though. It'll keep! I'm hoping the other delivery arrives tomorrow!

Now Mewthos is next to me, mewling his heart out!

He wouldn't stop until I gave in and opened another pouch! Even though their bowls were not empty ... greedy little munchkin!
