Been relaxing this weekend. Time to hit the job search full time again next week. Here we go!!! Something will come through now that everyone is back hopefully.

In other news, I’m playing guitar for my friends spoken word performance. It’s been really interesting writing music to that instead of making songs.

…it may have ended with His Lordship realising he married a covert oompa-loompa, but my first goes at brick cutting and wall building went rather well methinks.

About to shave my beard off for the first time in years, being sick has made it go all weird and brittle and it’s massively irritating my skin so it’s got to go. At least I can’t go anywhere so no one has see me without it since it’ll grow semi back by the end of the week.

*eye twitch*

I did a COVID test and it came back negative but still coughing my face off today. Decided I wouldn’t go to dinner tonight and cough all over the place. Think I might nap.

I drew a thing and it looked like a thing. Nice. I could learn to art so well if I could just focus. If only you had regular manageable dailies and could see skill points racking up in real life.

(I’m not downloading Habitica.)

I have a pretty sore back. 😭 Will put on my comfyest PJs, take drugs and watch a million movies over the next few days

Study success! First draft has been completed. I’m going to have a break for lunch, walk Mr Woof (always a great way to let my brain rest and quietly process things in the background) and have another look at it later this afternoon before submitting it. I even have a sensible number of words, there is only one section that will require much trimming.

One day, I hope I can be as cool as Spock

Ugh. I fed the catkin at 6pm and napped, woke up at midnight to see she hadn’t eaten her food and so hadn’t taken her medication.

Removed it and gave her half of her usual dose to tide her over til 6am (mixed into some of her old Fancy Feast Royale) and she ate it. So she just suddenly doesn’t like the particular flavour that makes up half the stash of food I bought and it’s messing with her meds schedule. She started getting sooky, went between different trays and had the runs so she may have stress induced cystitis. I gave her some anti inflammatory pain meds to help. Also tried to give the other half of the usual pain meds but she won’t eat it.

If she keeps this fussy eating up she’s going to need her medication syringed into her mouth twice daily to ensure she gets it instead of doing it the easy way :(

I’d also taken her off the Zylkene to see if it actually does anything or whether the cost of that would be better off going to monthly Solensia injections. Jury is out on the Zylkene but she’s seeming a bit stiff and I think she would really benefit from the injections.

Edit: She just squatted on the carpet and I wasn’t fast enough to get a towel under her. Blood, definitely the cystitis. I’ve blotted it up, soaked the spot with enzyme spray and have a few towels ready in case I need to save the bedding. Heating her tiny wheat bag for her tummy. We’re snorgling now

Sky glorious.
