Another early morning. Janey is mostly back in the fold - this morning I found her curled up with Ziva. Last night, Mini was still hissing at her ... I'll have to keep an eye out and see how they treat each other today.
Giving Janey her medication yesterday was practically a breeze! I picked her off the top of the bookshelf, she didn't struggle, she swallowed - just when it came to the follow-up water did I struggle a bit.
I managed to forget my Smartphone at home today ... ah, well ... not much of an issue, as I don't really use it at work, anyway. I did, however, bring the USB Power bank and the WiFi router, ha ha! Well, it's fully charged now.
Ah! Load shedding won't escalate to Stage 3 this afternoon, we'll stay at Stage 2. For now. Indefinitely ...
Back at home, first I went into the outside room and removed all my stuff left in there. Then I took the wooden bedding borders out of the grill - where he'd 'temporarily' put them, and carried them into the garage - rain forecast this weekend, no need to water damage them any more, unnecessarily! I also found my seed pods in the grill. Grrr I had a look in the dog hut - and junk is mixed with my stuff ... I'm going to have to sort that out.
What bugs me is that I put a lot of effort to get all that junk out of sight ... now it's right back around the grill, where it started. I hope the plan is to clear that this weekend! If not, I'll insist it'll go in the dump. Soon!
I spent the rest of the afternoon with my tomato plants. First the one in the pot, which I now tied up, with a stake, then cleaning the yellow leaves and generally clearing the big bed. They're doing really well - just trying too hard, same as last year! Too many sprouts and branches, etc. So I had to thin that out a bit.
It had been thundering all afternoon, around six, it started pouring ... and the power went off! Brought mippies inside, gave Jane her meds, treated mippies, report the outage. Power came back about half an hour later. I'm glad, because my smartphone battery is really low! Charging that, now!
I had to close the kitchen window - it rained in, there! It actually came pouring down, heavy!
I considered mowing the lawn, knowing it would rain - more rain forecast throughout the weekend ... but, well, it's not my problem anymore! That's the one thing I made very clear would be my tenant's responsibility.
Okay, I just went for a quick smoke ... and there were 2 black and white cats by the outside room! Smeagol has a look alike! Who sat quite contentedly in the door - denying Smeagol access to his food and his bed! Sheez!
It looks like its fur is longer than Smeagol's and it's smaller - possibly still quite young. Ai, Ai, Ai!
Load shedding tomorrow morning from 08:00 - 10:30 and again 16:00 - 18:30. At least I can listen to a different audiobook tonight.
Funny thing, but it's not yet half eight and I'm ready to go to sleep ... soooo tired ... ah, well. Might as well.
