Lock-down Day 547

I got paid, yay! The balance of last month's salary was deposited last night - quite a relief!

Oh, and my Oyster Mushrooms are growing! I keep looking around my garden and feeling disappointed. I've put so much work into it over the past year, and so little to show for it. But that 'feeling' isn't in line with reality. I have to work on getting it through to my 'feelings' that it only looks like less achievement, because what's growing is spread throughout a very large garden!

Also, this garden, I'm doing everything myself! Every last thing - digging the beds, mowing the lawn, everything. I need to stop depressing myself for being human.

Ten o'clock and I'm about to start making pizza. Kitchen is clean, laundry is on the line ... and ... sigh ... my duvet is in the machine for it's - apparently now - weekly wash. I'll have to wash the duvet covers next, or I'll have none for tonight.

Ten past eleven. First load is folded and packed away, pizza dough will be ready in another hour - and I now have to saute the mushrooms and pre-fry the viennas I plan on adding to my pizza. Only ... I'm running out of energy ... again.

Half past twelve. Pizza is oven ready. Toppings: cherry tomatoes cut in half, sauted mushrooms, green pepper cut in bits, pre-fried viennas, fresh spinach, cut into strips, cut anchovies and mozzarella on top.

Half past one. Pizza is done, kitchen is clean again, bed sheets are hanging on the line, towels are in the machine. I found a live lizard jumping out of the machine, when I put the towels in ... so I re-inspected to make sure I don't accidentally wash any survivors! Took him outside. He's safe now.

Twenty past three, one rose bed is clean, the next one almost. Duvet is back on the bed, and covered - only the protective sheet is not yet dry.

Half past six. Final rose bed is clean! I re-cleaned the 3rd one and added food again. I'm leaving the first and second bed for now - those roses, I fear, are no longer alive. Oh, I'll clean those beds, too - just not priority.

Mini seems to have a problem with Ziva? I've watched her on several occasions now, where she literally chased Ziva away. From me! Not cool! I'm not sure what I can do about it, though ...

My pizza? Awesome! Really turned out well.
