Lock-down Day 458

I woke with a very unpleasant headache. Mippies had pinned me down - by parking left and right of me, on the duvet. I finally got up and let them out ...

... only ... Mini, as usual, won't go out, but runs excitedly under my feet. Janey also comes mipping for loves and soon Ziva follows. And my head is just pounding away ...

I also had a very strange dream this morning, where my sister was sitting on my bed, my mum's best friend's husband was visiting, my cousin, from the same town, was also visiting. It was strange, but at the same time reassuringly peaceful. It resonated harmony.

Not sure how that dream, and the headache came together in the same head.

Well, some relaxation techniques and a little breakfast have reduced the headache to manageable - and then I took some Paracetemol.

Well, I've done my banking - paid electricity, rent and the juice order. And the good news is: I'm not broke! My strict budget is paying off! And given the situation at work, I need that just to keep from stressing.

Anyway, I'm happy to say that the headache has dissipated! And I'm now turning towards my Sunday.

First, set the bread dough going. Then, start the pies. I rolled out the dough, and made some rectangles, plopped a dollop of sweet in the center, and folded it. I used something like Nutella in the one's with the 'C' on top, and Jam in the others. Then I still had a lot of dough left over, no clue what to do with it, so I spread Nutella inside and rolled it up.

I brushed egg on top ... should be interesting to see how they turn out! I considered adding a sugar coat after they've baked, but I no longer feel like making that extra effort ...

Well, they turned out delicious! Even without the sugar coating!

For dinner, I'm making ... well, I'm boiling home-made pasta with brussels sprouts, carrots and peas in water with a can of tomatoes. And some spices. On top of that entire ... stew ... I'm steaming chicken breasts. I'll still add sour cream to that whole concoction.

Of course, first I will need to clean the kitchen ... again ...

Done. Now it's time for all the end-of-day last little bits of 'needs to be done'. Like taking out the trash, making sure all water containers / fountains are full, etc. ...

And done. Quarter to six, mippies are inside, happily treated and all I still need to do is bath and eat dinner!

Oh, and at eight? Another 'family meeting'! Having just read that Sydney just shut down completely - again ... I'm quite worried!

On top of that, the internet's still iffy ... I keep checking the news site for a link to the live stream ... so far, the 'latest' news item is from 7 hours ago ... 

Oh, and my headache is coming back.

Ah, there's the link! And I've taken my migraine cocktail ... let's hear the worst, then bed ...

Nope. Can't hear it ... it's now half past eight, and I've only heard about the first 5 minutes, so far ... it's 'loading ... loading ... loading ...' the whole fecken' time ... At times like this, I REALLY wish I had stronger internet!
