SoD day 7 SoE LS 4 3 4 Thursday

Eventful evening, and morning. Turns out my boss thought I could drive home, all should be well.

It wasn't. I DID get home, at least, but when I arrived, there was smoke coming from under the bonnet! I took photos ... then went to feed the ferals, as I was already quite late.

I loaded electricity, did my chores, showered ... but as I'd been late, didn't get around to cleaning the litter boxes.

Middle of the night, Mewthos woke me up, led me to the room where the litter boxes are ... complaining. Sorry, but in the middle of the night? I'm sorry ... He decided to use my kitchen instead. Sigh ... mopped up a flood this morning!

He still pees everywhere, but not in the bedroom anymore. As long as he doesn't pee in the bedroom ... I'll live with it. But I am beginning to wonder whether I should have him checked by a vet? I've been finding huge pee-balls in the litter box, lately, and the flood in the kitchen is also an unusually large amount of pee ... 

I hope you weren't eating, while reading this? Sorry!

Eventually he got a reply from my boss, asking me to try drive the car to work.

By now it was past seven, so there was little traffic ... the car didn't even heat up, much, and I made it all the way to work. Without Power Steering, of course. That's a bugger, but not as bad as it sounds, as steering while driving is not a major work-out, only when you try to park into a slot. For the younger generation readers: before power steering, the faster you're driving, the smoother the steering. Power steering only REALLY helps, when you're trying to turn when you're not moving, or moving very little.

At work, smoke coming from under the bonnet again. Boss informed. Car gone ... presumably for repairs.

I took both chargers to work, plus the WiFi router and power bank - with my cell phone battery low, I feared I might not be able to call, if I get stuck en route. At work, I immediately put my phone on charge. Phone is charged, now the smartphone is charging, power bank next.

Right. Car is back, hold thumbs!

Anyway, twenty to five ... cat food has arrived ... I'm thinking of changing them over to more Whiskas and less Royal Canin. After all, the wet food IS just a treat, not their main source of food.

Load shedding tonight 22:00 - 00:30 and again 04:00 - 06:30. Tomorrow 12:00 - 14:30, which I'll miss, as I'll be at work. But then again 20:00 - 22:30.
