Lock-down Day 688

I only got up about half seven. Let mippies out ... coffee!

Now it's eight. Biggest achievement so far? I'm dressed! Ha Ha!

Getting busy now. Slowly, but surely. With a lot of interruptions from mippies, as usual! And: I'm happy to say that Janey is mipping for attention, too! Just now, when I picked her up, she climbed onto my shoulder! First time she's done that this week!

I'm starting with the 'normal' weekend chores. I've taken down the last washing, so I can do my laundry, and now I'm washing dishes. Which I didn't do last weekend ...

And I also haven't cleaned the litter boxes in two days - they are so difficult to get to, now. Which I'm planning to rectify today.

Eleven, and the kitchen is almost clean, laundry is hanging outside ...

Quarter to one, bookshelf is treated underneath, back of it hammered back, floor where it will go, has received it's first wash. When that's dry, I'll have to wash again ... that mud is a real nuisance! It doesn't simply wash off, as you would think. You need lots of water. I need to soak it and wipe it up. Then treat the skirting ... I'm wondering whether I should spray it?

Neighbour came for a short visit - well, she came to pick tomatoes. I had asked her to - they love tomatoes, and I have way too many!

Just about three. The bookshelf in mippies' room is clean, and back in place. I've carried all the books from the shelf in the lounge into mippies' room, and squashed them into three shelves. I thought I could maybe tip the one in the lounge on its side, so the bottom can also dry ... but I can't do that on my own. There's just not enough space in the lounge, I'd have to tip it and lower it into the narrow passage currently available ... and I'm not willing to take that chance.

I can, however, move it forward - which I've done - and thoroughly clean the floor under it. I can also apply some furniture oil underneath. I think. Only ... I'm running out of energy ...

Okay. No. I can't clean or treat the underside of that bookshelf. Not alone. But I've cleaned the floor, the bookshelf ... sprayed, treated the skirting and polished the tiles.

Right. It's quarter past six! Whoa! Better call it a day! Well, at any rate, I've emptied the third bookshelf. Picked Ziva off the top. Put it on its side, so the bottom can dry ... 

Around five I gave Janey her medication. She's feeling so much better that she reckons she doesn't need it anymore! Ha Ha, just like a kid, eh? Of course she spat it out and it landed in my bra, ha ha! So, I adjusted my attitude to more assertive. Washed it down, as instructed ... 

I wonder whether I'll have any energy to continue tomorrow? Well, if not, then that will have to be okay! I've done a weekend's worth of work!

And then Smeagol and Mewthos got into a fight! I'm no longer sure that Smeagol is the attacker ... he pees every fight! And Mewthos is so much bigger and stronger than Smeagol ... well, Janey is safe, that's the main thing!

They're all inside and all treated. They all ate together on the counter! Even Mini! Relations are mellowing towards Janey. She's slowly being accepted back into the family.

Right, I've bathed, cleaned the litter boxes ... everything that had to be done is done. Tomorrow I bake.
