Lock-down Day 370

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that we would stay on Level 1 lock-down and that the onus would mostly be on US observing safety measures, rather than government dictating controls.

I am a little disappointed though, that the DA rather than acknowledging that, are slamming it as unnecessary. Yes, they have a point, but a little good will goes a lot further than hostility. Anyway, just my personal opinion. And, after all, they ARE the opposition, so opposing is sort of their function.

Back to my little world, the issue of my bank balance is still nagging at me. It's actually depressing me. So, over the Easter weekend, I'll set up a budget again. Keep it simple.

It's nearly time to go home and I'm still feeling down. It's not just my budget. Nor the unpleasant dream I had this morning - something about my mippies being lost and we lived on the 9th floor of a building ... I don't know why I'm feeling down, and that's the worst part of it. I've been feeling less than my usual self since Sunday ... listless, tired ...

I thought I'd try a little window shopping to cheer me up. Guess what? Tropical Heat is available on DVD! No, I don't think it's such a wonderful series, and I don't really wish to pay money to buy the DVDs ... but, well, you know ... thing is ... I'm an extra in at least one of the episodes! At least one season was filmed in Pretoria, and I should recognise the landmarks ... and maybe I could finally see myself on TV! Just an extra, walking across a road in the background ... still ... that would be something, wouldn't it? But even at 34% discount, it's not worth it to me. I mean, it's not a series I'd enjoy watching, and just to see myself on TV for a few seconds? Yeah ... No! After all, I don't even know whether it even made it to the show! They might have just cut it out, ha ha!

Yes, I know I've bragged about this before ... so? It's one of the most interesting things I've ever done to earn money! My tiny little claim to fame!

Anyway, I didn't even feel like finishing and publishing my gardening journal. No biggie.

At home, Smeagol is waiting for me on the wall next to the garage! That's uplifting! I gave him some lovies and food - he ignored the food, just wanted lovies! Even though I gave him a treat! Still, I had a lot to do inside, first.

When I was done, I didn't feel like taking photos of everything sprouting ... no worries. I did, of course, water everything that needed watering! Then I did a bit of weeding ... that always makes me feel better. Well, the long weekend is just one day away! That should cheer me up ...
