A full cooked breakfast (no beans) please.

That’s who I get mine from last time, after WGAC annoyed me by reducing the minimum time for their subscription. The paper is ok but not great quality, probably equivalent to the WGAC standard recycled stuff. The wrapping for each roll has lots of animal pictures on it, which I consider to be a good feature.

40/50

There was a lot more guesswork than knowledge involved

I survived day 1 back at work and am back for another day today. It is nice just being off the couch. The next challenge will be getting back on top of the housework and things that I’ve been letting slide for the last couple of weeks. I was a bit displeased with past me who decided to put off filling the car with petrol which meant I had to do that yesterday.

It’s been nearly two weeks since covid and I’m back to work tomorrow. I don’t feel too bad until I try to do anything, then I get tired out really quickly. At this stage I’m not sure if it’s because I am still unwell or just the result of having not done anything for ages. I also have a lingering cough, hopefully having to talk lots at work won’t trigger that. My job is about 50% talking, so if I can’t do that without coughing it will be an issue.

I also have lots of life admin slowly piling up, and have had to reschedule a few appointments. I did just finish a week with an activity tracker for the study I am taking part in - they will log a distinct lack of activity for me this week.

The other forks are the unclean pet food forks. They do not mix.

I see all your kitchen drawers and I’ll raise you a cutlery shelf

If my signature is written correctly it’s a sure sign of a forgery.

Quitting is hard. Every attempt teaches us something we can use for the next attempt, eventually you hit on the right thing that works for you.

Just don’t use my Dad’s method. He tried to quit once. It didn’t work, so instead of trying again he just pretended he didn’t smoke and spent years furtively sneaking off to smoke and buy cigarettes like a teenager. He somehow seemed to fool himself into thinking no one knew, even though it was incredibly obvious. It was bizarre, and meant that when he was finally forced to quit (when he was physically incapable of accessing cigarettes on his own) he had to go through the withdrawal alone and unsupported because he still couldn’t admit he had been smoking the whole time.

Welcome to the DT sick club. I hope you will be a member for as short a time as possible.

Midnight house alarm activated over the road. Just what I need.

I’ve always been behind on trends.

It’s been a bit surprising, especially as I have worked the whole way through in an office with many people. I don’t know if this is work’s fault or my brother in law though - he was sick with covid at Christmas, ,which puts it right at the extreme long end of the possible incubation timeframes.

The RAT finally arrived, and the results are in. I am officially out of the never-had-covid club.

I could send a dozen of mine. May come with a side order of Plague.

There has been a lot of stuff going around at work, so it could be anything. If I get another covid negative I can at least absolve my brother in law from blame (he had covid at christmas, right at the very edge of transmission timeframe but still possible). It would also mean I could stay in the never-had-covid club.

Dr Google told me as I was no longer feverish light exercise should be ok and may even help improve breathing. So I took Mr Woof to the end of the block and back. That was not a great idea, I’m now exhausted.

I have ordered some RATs that cover covid and flu that should arrive today. Hopefully I will then have something to officially blame. Unspecified plague is just unsatisfying. I did do a covid RAT on Sunday which was negative, but I think it is time for a second opinion.

Put a handfull of raw rice inside and a little bit of vinegar, then shake the bottle. The rice works to scrub the bottle clean. You sometimes have to rinse out a few times to get all the rice grains back out, but it works really well.

I thought the night flu tabs would help me sleep, but they didn’t. I’d really like to sleep but can’t get comfortable ☹️

I have made good progress today. I acquired good drugs, managed to spend all day sitting up and even managed a proper breakfast and lunch. Dinner was an iced bun from the freezer, but two outa three ain’t bad. I even managed a shower and brushing my teeth. Tomorrow I might even feel well enough to floss!

Mr Woof is definitely hoping the progress continues, he has a physical therapy program worked out involving many walkies that he wants me starting ASAP
