Lock-down Day 411

At half four this morning, I'm suddenly wide awake! This work thing - which I had deliberately put out of my mind all last night - is falling into place. The basic outline, that is. So, I've been up since three thirty mulling over the details ...

Mippies loved mommy up for cuddles and attention! All four had been curled up on my bed - and came happily into the lounge with me! Mewthos hoping for a treat, of course - he had to wait till five, though! If I give them their treat too early, he'll just carry on wheedling and nagging until I give in and they get another ... 

Early at work, trying to fit all the pieces into one whole system ... still not complete. It's quite a large puzzle, with myriad pieces - I don't even know how many pieces, yet!

And then ... chaos happens! I wanna run away and just keep running ...

Hang on, I'm too fat and unfit to run! So, I better try driving away ...

I did. As far as Spar, ha ha! Just got milk and cigarettes, then I went back to work ...

My chocolates arrived! I couldn't help myself, I indulged! Nice! No, that's not right: divine! Absolutely fantasmorgasmic! Yeah, that's more like it!

And the mippie treats arrived! Phew! I'm glad about that one - I had run out, and was having a hard time keeping Ziva way from the Whiskas - and the rest away from Ziva's food! They keep trying to sneak onto the counter and gobble as much as they can before I get there and lift them away! Sneaky little mips!

It's almost two, and NOW, I finally see a chance to start trying to turn those pieces into something useful ... 

Well, I didn't get to start, but I did get more time to work out the details - the tricky bit being how everything fits together, while at the same time ensuring flexibility to grow. Progress, albeit nothing to show for it, yet. That's how it goes. Spreadsheet design, I mean. Especially when I'm integrating multiple databases.

Anyway, back at home, it's half past seven, and I finally get a minute to sit down. Internet was down to 2 bars as well, so ... I barely managed to open this page.

I've unpacked everything, did all chores, watered everything - the Marigold are in full bloom now! It's a lovely patch! I'll take some photos this weekend, again!

Janey is a clever little rascal! She waited until I was in the bath, and THEN she went and snacked on Ziva's kibbles! Seriously, she came into the bathroom, checked that I was in the bath, went out, next thing I hear kibbles crunching! Cats! Never a dull moment, eh?

Anyway, I'm just going to share my dinner now, then I'll relax with an episode - I'm currently watching Battlestar Galactica. The original series, from 1978, with Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict.

Ha Ha, I'm taking too long at the PC! Mewthos wants my dinner - so he's on the bed behind me and puts his front paws on my back, to tell me 'get a move on!' I had better do so ...
