Lock-down Day 422

It's cold, so I only got out of bed around seven. Mippies happily dashed outside, when I finally opened for them.

I had a little peace and quiet, though not much. Janey has been back wanting attention, lots and lots and lots of it! She still loves walking on my shoulders, only ... when she tries to turn around, she's out of space, now. Which seems to perplex her, though it doesn't stop her!

Mini joined in, and when I was bent over a shelf, looking for some comfy pants to wear - she settled on my back! Second time she's done that! She's enjoying the 'on mommy's back' part, but having a little trouble with the 'when to get off' part. When I try to straighten up, she just strolls up to my shoulder - but doesn't get on my shoulder, just sort of lets me know 'I iz here, not getz up, mommy!'

Mewthos was out for a long walk-about, and came back demanding I come outside on the lawn for roly poly time! I picked all the black jacks, he had collected, out of his fur, then collected a tick looking for a place to settle ... end of roly poly time, as I flush the tick down the toilet!

I've been trying to come up with another different meal for the week, and I've finally settled on mince pies. I still have some mince in the freezer, but it's not enough for meatloaf - which is what I originally intended to try. I considered stretching it with rice, but I think my first meatloaf shouldn't be too experimental. Start with a basic recipe, see how that works out and then experiment.

For breakfast, I made myself an omelet. Plain cheese.

I've just had to spend some money again ... sigh ... well, mippies treats are low. Remember how I planned to add bath spoils to that delivery? Guess what? Yeah, I'm getting litter, instead! I did, however, add one bottle of foam bath, though!

I also need to get Ziva's treat. Again! I give her one pouch a day, part in the morning, part in the evening. And I make sure SHE's the one eating them.

Oh great! Free delivery from a few cents more than 2x boxes cost! I fall a few cents short of qualifying! Better add something small ... that costs less than the delivery would, of course! Okay, another wand toy added.

Why wasn't that a problem last time? Well, because they've dropped their prices - not by much, though. 

I took a break and Mewthos came running and mewling for
roly poly on the lawn! I decided to try this 'selfie' thing again.

Yeah, that's the best of the lot. I tried to take one with Janey, too, as she came running, as well - but she wouldn't have any of it. So I had to settle for a photo of just Janey, not spoiled by my face, ha ha!

Rather than be seen with me, she prefers to wash herself!
That's why she's our Lady!

Of course, I also spent the next couple of minutes brushing the dead grass off me! Mewthos just brings it into the house, shakes himself and lets me brush it off the floors again!

I also still need to get the Iams kibbles ... I think I'll leave that for next month, though.

Janey mipped to come on my shoulder, so I thought I might get a nice selfie.
No such luck! A very typical selfie, just not a nice one, ha ha!

I had much more luck taking a selfie with Ziva! This is really a beautiful photo!
She was curled up among the teddy bears, so I just leaned in, and she came to sniff my
forehead - she doesn't lick me, not like Mini. But always has to sniff me!

I'm really lucky to have all these mips in my life! As much as they sometimes annoy me, with their demands for attention - they are just so full of love!

Mini isn't active at the moment, I'm letting her sleep, while she isn't under my feet!

I've been wondering what I should eat today and finally settled on pancakes! I was surprised to find that all recipes seem to be using eggs and milk? I learned (and have since forgotten how) to make pancakes from my grandma, and she just used water and flour! I've used up two eggs for the omelet, so I only have enough left for the mince mix and the chicken bake, I'm planning tomorrow. Well, I found a recipe, made my pancakes ... as always, they turn into pan-crumble, when I try to turn them ... now enjoying them with apple sauce!

I really should clean the kitchen now, but ... it would be so much nicer to follow my mippies example and take a nap ...

An hour and a half later ... I get up and clean the kitchen.  Not completely, mind, just mostly.  Then watered - again with Mewthos, who came running at top speed! I love it when he does that!

Then mippies treat, my bath and now I'm settling for the night  ... Ziva wants her cuddle cave, Mini wants brushies ... I have my hands full ...
