Not the best of nights ... woke up with a headache. I really need a long weekend! I just hope I'm not coming down with something.
Last night, I didn't do much. Just drained of all energy ... packed my delivery away, fed the ferals, showered, cooked dinner ... toilet is STILL not working, tenant says he'll get the right material and fix it today ...
I think I may have to take the tuxedo to the vet to be sedated to take that tape off her leg! I'm going to make an effort this afternoon.
Just before I went inside, I watched the whole colony play around the center ponytail! Vimes was on a mission to catch flowers - he kept jumping to cat the top of the flower stalks! The kittens all ran up and down the ponytail, all three parents sat somewhere in the bed, watching over the kittens - even Sybill & Vimes mommy! It was lovely!
Unfortunately, my lot fear being outside with Smeagol and his lot - so while Smeagol's lot are out front, mine hide out back. I'll have to keep an eye on the dynamics this weekend.
Aaand load shedding downgraded to Stage 2 from noon today! Until further notice ... today and tomorrow from noon till half three and tomorrow and Sunday also from eight to ten in the evening.
I'm wondering whether I should maybe kick my rear to driving to Ninapark Spar after work today? They're having incredible savings for their 25th Birthday - today only! They're offering lamb at less than half the standard price per kg! Maybe a little 'shopping therapy' will cheer me up? And, as it's a long weekend, I have time to re-pack and store. And there are a couple of items I could use - if I could get them on special, or even super special: bargain!
I think I will drive to Ninapark! Just the thought of filling a trolley with yummies is already perking me up!
No load shedding at home until noon tomorrow, so I should be able to get online, and list all my treasures! Ha Ha!
Ooooh, did I just splash out! I spent more money than I have in a long time - on myself, that is. A tad more than a quarter of what all the cats cost me! Yet none of it really frivolous! Only one luxury treat: a sushi platter! A few packets of seeds - I couldn't resist. The rest, however, will all come in very, very welcome! The lamb was only on special, if you buy half a lamb. Which I did. I bought about 4kg avocados! Just last night I came across a tip how to freeze them! And I got something like 3kg cheese, and a very, very good price! I'm not sure how good it is, but I'll freeze it in manageable chunks. Cheese doesn't freeze well - once you defrost, it crumbles. But that's perfect for cheese dishes.
On the whole, I am very, very happy with my haul! I kept in mind, how much I can process and how much time it'll take - so I didn't get more than I'll be able to cope with.
Best of all, it was only an hour out of my way! I was home by four! And - after packing away only what needed refrigeration or freezing - I immediately dug into my sushi! Yum! Yum! Yum!
Aaand load shedding will be dropping another Stage tomorrow! Stage 1 from 05:00 - 16:00, Stage 2 from four till five the next morning, on Sunday no load shedding during the day, then Stage 1 for 24 hours, till Monday evening, Stage 2 overnight, no load shedding again on Tuesday, then again Stage 2.
What does that mean for me? Only 1 x 2 hours load shedding this weekend: tomorrow evening from eight to ten. Nothing on Sunday. Monday 04:00 - 06:30, Tuesday 02:00 - 04:30. Tolerable ...
I'm taking it easy this afternoon. I'm just pottering about, cuddling mippies, watching LotR, going to shower, then settle for the night ...
