LS Monday

Power was restored around half eight! I was VERY impressed! With help from the community! We really have the best Ward Councillor ever!

Since I had gone to bed already, I just put on the PC for my audiobook. And woke up quite early this morning. Since I couldn't remember what time load shedding today, I got up and made coffee, just in case it's at six!

Actually it's 14:00 - 16:30 again, and 22:00 - 00:30. Which means no PC audiobook tonight ...

Ordered Whiskas - I'm on the last box. Added filters for their flower fountain and a 3-pack of Spot-on. Payment site won't work - it claims my password is incorrect. So, I ended up making an EFT payment and mailing them proof. Since I didn't make an instant payment, I presume it'll take a day for payment to show on their side ... no problem.

I was so worried about Janey last night, that I decided that I'd make an appointment with the vet for her today - to me, her ears looked yellow again! This morning, however, her ears are the same colour as Mewly's and Ziva's, so, I think I was overreacting. Probably the light last night. Or, more precisely, the fact that we had no lights last night, ha ha!

Okay, part of my problem is the fact that I don't like change. The other problem is quite simply: HOW to find another job? I mean, I've looked at jobs posted online, and I just don't understand what they're talking about in their requirements. Like, I'm out of touch with the current lingo. When they describe tasks, they use abbreviations and refer to techniques that sound totally foreign! When I look into WTF is this shit, turns out it's just a fancy term for an old technique, one I'm familiar with. Though probably complexified. Or App'd. If you know what I mean.

Aaaand load shedding escalates to Stage 3 from 16:00 - 05:00 ... until further notice. Sheez, man, get it together! This is becoming a joke - only, not the type that gets anyone laughing!

Anyway.

Back at home, I did my chores, and then started mowing the lawn! I started with the section that I didn't get to last time. Rough going, of course, as it's three weeks growth - and extreme growth, courtesy of all the rain! But I made a lot of progress! Hopefully I can do more tomorrow evening.

I got a message from my old friend from PE. The one that helped me moving, first moving in, then packing boxes when I moved out. Funny how people are coming back into my life, lately, eh?

Load shedding tonight at ten, so ... yeah ... Sigh ...
