Lock-down Day 480

Mini started licking my forehead as soon as the alarm went off ... I grabbed her, and the phone, and pulled both under the duvet with me. I was really not up to getting up ... not for quite a while.

It was past seven, when I was finally up to sending the message to work. And guess what? Exactly what I wasn't up to, came into my home! Via messages, relaying client demands - which, today, I just can't answer. Sigh ...

I don't know, if someone is not at work, they're not at work. Period. You don't bother them, especially if they're sick, for anything that can wait ... but then, I'm old school.

Anyway, eventually I just said I'd deal with everything tomorrow.

I meant to go back to bed after coffee and meds, but ... well ... not happening, is it? I'm taking it real easy, though ... took an Allergex and Aspirin.

Brrr, it's cold! Not my favourite time of year. Actually, more like my least favourite time of year. Facebook threw up a memory - apparently I had the same symptoms exactly seven years ago. 'Tis the season to be fragile, eh?

I had some idea of getting into the garden today, but that's not going to happen. I managed to clean the kitchen and clean mippies' water fountain, which desperately needed cleaning. It's just past three and I'm ready to nap again ... 

I decided to go and water my garden. Bird basin was completely dry. Encouraged, I thought I could do a little weeding - just the pots. And then I killed a Litchi tree! Sigh ... it was growing between the pansy, and I couldn't see for the foliage ... only saw what it was, when I had pulled it out. I think that's my gardening achievement for the day ... better leave it, before I do any more damage. I planted it in the pot with the rest of the Litchi trees ... I can only hope it survives ...

Smeagol was waiting under the carport for me, so I gave him some attention ... until he fixated on Mewthos ... he didn't attack, nor fight, just stares at him ...

Twenty to five and all mippies are in the bedroom with me ... a bit early, but I suppose I might as well lock up for the night?

Done, he he he. Mippies didn't even know what was happening! They haven't complained, though - just Mewthos decided that if I'm shutting for the night, it's treat time. No problem!

When I checked my hygrometer, minimum temperature last night: a mere 1.1 Celsius! Yikes! It seems the 'mild' part of winter is over - we're now in the real winter part. Here's a joke: Intense cold front to hit SA from Tuesday ....just what I wanted ... sigh ...

It's half six, and everything is done and ready ... wish I could take another day ... I could do with the rest. Clearly need it.

Well, just going to go to bed, cuddle mippies, enjoy some chocolate and call it an early night ...
