Melbcat crawled into the bed and went to sleep with her face in my armpit. Gave her some extra pain relief just in case that was the cause of the sookiness.

She’s eaten most of her breakfast and gone to nap by the window in the other room.

Edit: Also I ran cooling overnight but somehow it’s warm and stuffy inside while outside is cool and crisp? wtf. I may have to try and sort that out

You’re doing well, my muffins and pumpkin breads were decent but somehow my cakes (with the exception of sponge cakes) sucked

Baby beans asked to be lifted up on the favourite chair and is snoozing. Normally she jumps but I guess she feels like taking it easy right now.

No specialist appointments available until February so the January procedure might be off 😢 I’ve asked to go on the cancellation list

Edit: Got her in with another specialist and waiting on confirmation of a lift

Sleeping all day was not the best idea. This time of year is topsy turvy and a massive depression hole.

Edit: Well I put away the dishes in the rack so it’s free to do more tomorrow. Put baking soda down the sink. Folding to free up the baskets.

I need to just sew the waistbands back on the ill fitting trackies and donate them because I don’t care enough to finish altering them.

Hoping everything opens up again soon so I can make phone calls and appointments.

I’m in the doghouse. Went out to resow the dead grass pots, Melbcat slipped out when I was coming in and I had to wrangle her back inside. But that sun has a bite to it and it wasn’t a good time to be out.

I have a cutting of lavender in a glass of water and it isn’t dying or sprouting roots.

When I have energy I’d like to move the rosemary to the big pot.

Mmm. I don’t think they are good for neurodivergent people. From what I can see there’s lots of flaky, confusing, and even bad behaviour on the apps.

Everywhere really, but especially with the expectation for a fast pace which could lead to entangling with someone you don’t know very well. It probably is safer to get to know people first.

Just my 2 cents. Because you mention people actively trying to set you up and urging you to use apps and I wanted to say you don’t have to do anything you’re not 100% on board with. There’s no rush. 🖤

I can’t believe there’s a part of worldbuilding Tolkien didn’t spell out. Indeed, it must have been elves. Or a wizard did it.

Did they have chocolate in Middle Earth? They had potatoes which implies the equivalent of South America so maybe but it’s never specifically mentioned.

So one small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man

I’m now picturing the orphans doing the thing where the dwarves descend on Bilbo’s larder.

Come to think of it the 25th is when the LOTR party departed from Rivendell. Maybe next year someone should bring lembas

Melbcat is kinda retching/coughing. Not sure if hairballs or asthma. I’ve given her the puffer, an anti nausea pill, and have her carrier ready to go if needed.

Edit: She seems ok now and had brekkie

Life of Boris has a few simple recipes. One beer uses a special still pressurised metal container but the others need much less equipment

Missing my old outdoorsy hobbies 🫩

It would be cool to try and forage fruit to make jam, pies or try to brew some fruit wine (assuming enough fruit can be found for any of it).

Unfortunately I’m not physically up to it, still struggling to eat and can’t really drink alcohol, and don’t want to be going about in this area.

That looks cool. I wonder what the multivitamin does

Edit: Ah ok, it helps the yeast health and makes it grow faster

Something for the big man and the reindeer
