I took a long time to get to sleep last night. So it was past six before I woke up this morning. Not an issue, as it's Sunday.
And anyway - can't start anything until load shedding is over! While I was waiting, I watched some more political videos. One detailed the agenda this country is currently on, turning South Africa into another communist state. Sounds like a conspiracy theory? Agreed. I'm just going to leave it there ...
I've had a busy morning. My tenant mowed the lawn and his wife came to do me a favour: she cleaned the floors, the bathroom and the kitchen! That's one huge-assed favour! And she finished in record time! I'm really happy!
I got the bread dough going, then prepared the tomatoes - a huge load, this week, then chopped potatoes and carrots for the roasted veggie meal, I fried the chicken, cut into cubes. I sowed oregano and garlic chives, and moved all the full tree bags to the front of the veranda. Just outside. Quite a few of them are empty - trees didn't survive the re-potting. I'll keep re-potting more. In time.
Right now, I'm about to blend the tomatoes, and the roast is still in the oven.
I took a break - tried to nap, but that didn't quite happen. I am tired, though. Well, I dragged myself through everything that needed to be done. The roasted veggies are delicious! And the blade steak I had put on top? Perfect!
I packed everything away, washed the dishes, packed my lunch - kitchen is clean! I cleaned the litter boxes, fed the ferals, cleaned the baby's eyes again ... poor thing! I spent a bit of time washing out both eyes thoroughly ... I just hope that's going to be the end of it!
Small problem on my side: it's overcast again, after a day of mostly sunshine - and it's the kind of overcast that gives me a headache. Feels like there's a weight on top of my head, pushing down. Not bad ... let's hope it stays that way.
Mippies don't really appreciate the cheap wet food I got them ... no surprise, ha ha! Well, they'll have to live with it for a while.
I've spent a lot of time with my mippies today. Mewthos spread out on my bed and I'd cuddle him every once in a while. Ziva would come knead my jersey till I cuddle her, Janey would come sit on my lap for cuddles. Mini is more reticent, she also wants attention, but isn't quite as assertive about getting it, yet. Well, sometimes, but not all the time. She likes to be carried to bed for lovies, ha ha!
Anyway, I've showered, and now I'm just settling down for the night. No load shedding tonight, next turn only at 06:00 tomorrow morning ...
