    Dog sitting update.

    Neighbour asked me if it’s okay if him and his missus stay out till late and can dog stay here.

    I benevolently agreed…not letting onto that the dog has been walked, fed and is currently snuggled up to me on the couch.

    I’m sleeping on the couch tonight it seems.

    This very cheap ebay reader claims that this cat doesn’t have a chip, but due to its quality it can’t really be trusted. And he was trying to come inside 😭 Which I can’t allow because I haven’t even got the floor bare and clear to be able to repetitively vacuum it. And he wouldn’t accept confinement. Ringworm is making everything harder.

    No idea what the future holds… I’m currently barely able to look after myself let alone have another pet. But I might see if I can get hold of a higher quality scanner. I’ve rehoisted the sail and set the bin up with the straw bedding so I hope he finds it.

        😊 This is my little beach that is 5 min walk from my front door to sand and it’s so nice to have a clean beach, so sick of piles of seaweed everywhere. No hiking here , just easy sand.

        The cart shells are drying. 🐚

    Yeah this tarp has liberated itself from half the clamps and tried to sail the world. The sheer size of it lets it catch too much air. It’s also released a flap that’s in the way of where he jumps out of the yard.

    Will try to order a couple of shitty Kmarget tarps and reassess.

    Filled up the car today. We are lucky that due to work from home options, and most things we need are close a drive we won’t need to fill up again for a good while. Feel bad for those driving diesels that don’t have such lucky circumstances.

        Nah I don’t have a PO box, but I’m honestly not adverse to giving you my address lol, I trust you.

        I also appreciate your offer immensely 🙏 I’ve just lacked an appetite at all, so eating has become a major chore. I have soup I can reheat tonight, but I’ll let you know if this doesn’t stop 💜💜💜 you are truly the kindest soul

    I am just 1000 steps away from completing this weeks fitness goals. 💪🏃‍♀️

    At the moment I’m still focusing mostly on just working out a baseline for what I can actually do and what timing works out best. I have definitely lost a lot of strength since the last time I was doing exercise, I’m tired out by a very low level of work at the moment.

    The treadmill has been working well, being able to watch a video while I walk makes it much easier to motivate myself to get a few extra steps at the end of the day if I need to (and will definitely be much easier once winter hits). It also has a wi-fi connection to a phone app so I can create my own programs, so I’ve got a basic interval program to start with to try and up my capacity to be able to do some running as well. It does fold away really easily too, so I can also use the same space for doing my weights and it is still usable as a study. I

      What treadmill did you get? Would like one but am in a one bedroom apartment so keep deciding against. And keen to hear updates - am trying to just organically move. Got up and went for a swim at 6am thins week. But have lost so much strength since my pre COVID yoga days I just get discouraged. I like hearing from others on the same journey not like influencers

    Neighbour is dogsitting an Australian shepherd this week. The dog’s owner is a mutual friend.

    Neighbour had to run errands today and the dog is crying. Messaged neighbour that I’m taking the dog to my house (have keys to his joint) and he can stay out longer.

    Doggo is snoozing on the couch right now and has made himself at home.

    Has anyone had a “canker sore” on their tongue before? I just woke up with this sore yesterday. Eating has now become a painful experience. Food has to be in liquid form to go down and even then it still hurts. Booked in with the doc for later today.

    Dinner will need to be some kind of soup.

    Stress caused apparently, it’s amazing how much stress messes up our physical health too.

      Rub some Vegemite on it, that stings but can help. Or get some Chlorofluor oral gel from the chemist.

      Make sure you’re up on B12 (so Marmite might be a better choice of spread)

      yup.

      Xylocaine. Gel. not ointment. Safe for oral use. Available at chemist. will numb like the dickens.

      Oh yes. I got sick as a kid with something that caused them and now I get one or two mild ones often if I am about to come down with the flu. Salt water gargle bit weirdly avoid salty or acidic food. Bonjela helps (do they still make that?)
