Working Monday

Quite a good night, somewhat late morning. Coffee. Cuddles. Mewthos has a new 'thing', where he lies in the middle of the kitchen, wanting me to pick him up for cuddle time!

At work ... busy ...

Called the landlord, he'll check out the light. If it is just the light bulb, he says it's my responsibility - I agree; but I really wouldn't know how to change it? I think they're 'fixed' units - where you'd have to change the whole box? I told him, I'm happy to do my part - but please help & let me know WHAT I need to get and how to change it. Let's see what comes of it.

I've changed my kibble delivery dates - Iams was only due in October, but I don't have a spare bag. Mippies are currently favouring Iams. Changed the FIT 32 to September, and left the Acana for August, as well. I don't like running out, or even running low. I like to have one spare bag in stock, so I want a delivery as soon as I open the last bag. Okay, it's 15 kg bags, so there's no rush ... still, I don't like running low.

Then I placed an order with Takealot. I ordered a water pistol. I've been thinking it would be a good idea for a very long time - but that last time, when Smeagol attacked poor Janey just outside the fence, and I stood there helplessly screeching as I watched my poor girl crapping herself in fear ... that was the last straw. I found one, that should reach about 10m - according to descriptions & confirmed by reviews. All I need is a means to distract the attacker - giving my mippie the gap to escape!

Then, I ordered a few toys for me. A silicone muffin pan - let's see how that works. Mine is getting quite grubby - I'm struggling to scrub the sticky off. Another meat mincer - very different type, electric, but affordable. I kind of got quite keen on the idea of making my own mince - knowing WHAT is in it is quite appealing! I gave in and ordered another steamer - I had a look, and the one I have has nearly doubled in price! Well, it's been six years ... I also 'fell for' a sprayer. Battery operated. Sounds like fun!

They didn't have chocolate, though. And I'm now running low. I think I'll try again in a few days. Since I bought such a lot of 'once-off' extra's, I took the spot-on off - I'll get next month. I did, however, get another re-fill of cat litter.

Back at home ... busy, busy, busy. Sjoe, but that new light out back is bright! It's like daylight on the back porch!

Aaand load shedding is rearing it's ugly head again! Possibility of Stage 2 tonight - at short notice ... if so, we're scheduled 22:00 - 00:30.

Well, I've enjoyed dinner, bathed ... now Janey is on my lap in the throes of a cuddle attack! She's hugging me, holding me, licking me, just ... cuddle attack. My mippies are weird ...
