So it's a quiet night for us. Mum is going to watch a show and have a big fruit juice with some vodka and be in bed just after 12. I've been asleep since 8pm. You can see me enjoying my new years eve catnip in today's photo!! Enjoy your evening my friends.
She bought one of these pulse oximeters off the internet a few weeks ago, which was cheap and is handy. Don't worry - her sats are fine. No temperature, just a cough and sore chest So mum has to isolate at home until results are back. So no New Years Eve parties for her.
We hope you're all ready for Santa too. It's Christmas eve here with just a half hour til Christmas day.
Mum has one night shift left to go, so just one more lonely night for me.
I was glad to see her and we had pats and chats before she took to her bed. I was a good girl until 2pm when I had to wake her up to tell her something important.
Mum felt a bit rough today, the effects of her booster yesterday gave her a temperature and she just felt sick. So lots of fluids snd a couple of naps helped and it is to bed soon. So her day was a lot like mine. She's made the bed and got her book ready. The washing machine is already loaded for tomorrow's loads - towels and some bedding. Mum is hoping she feels better tomorrow and can venture out, but she'll take it as it comes.
She is desperate for a good night's sleep. She has had a few restless ones and feels exhausted. Fingers crossed for tonight.
The skies were a pretty pink tonight, but the forecast seems to be heavy rain tomorrow. Mum is hoping there will be a break in the rain to go to the post office and library but we'll see.
It's pouring outside again. Mum thinks it's her fault. She bought some new shorts last week, and it's rained every day since.
Mum has booked a movie to go to yesterday, on her day off but the weather was horrid with torrential rain - a months rain in one day, so mum stayed home rather than get drenched. Today it was not as wet, and mum is hoping to get some uniforms washed and drying. Middle aged life is fun!!!
So there have been some nice things. Mum had a tasty mince on toast for dinner, raspberries were on special at the supermarket, mum and I snuggled on the bed and mum has a new book to read as she heads to bed now.
Tucker joined our friend John's home at I Have Three Cats in 2010 as a foster and got to stay and be loved with John's other cats. A big Roly Poly fellow we can tell how well loved he was, and we are glad he got to stay in a loving home and share his dinners with his dad, and how much he will be missed. Rest easy Mr Tucker.
Yesterday on mums way to work there were some anti vax/anti mask protestors outside the Governor Generals house - a whole 8 of them. As mum waited round the corner for her bus with her mask on, a man carrying large signs came past and stepped into her personal space and told mum that "masks were evil". So mum told him to "piss off" and when he took a step towards her she raised her voice and told him to "go away ".
Think what you want about vaccinations or masks. But if you come at my mum about it she is not going to stay silent about what she thinks.
So mum rung the council and got a lecture about how the bags should be out by 7am. In the four years we have lived here mum has never seen our rubbish collected before midday. To their credit they came and collected the general rubbish at 5.30am. No recycling pick up though.
So mum emailed the council this morning on her way to work and again this evening when she returned home at 8pm. What a fun game she is having!!!
First world problems huh.
So she brushed her hair, my furs (cos I love the hairbrush), brushed teeth and had a quick wash, put her uniform on, opened the curtains, grabbed her lunch from the fridge, packed her bag, gave me a pat, took the rubbish bags out and got an uber - and still made it to work by 07.50 - phew.
Luckily now she has 2 evening shifts followed by 2 days off, so no alarm clocks until next week.
