G (pictured with the teeth out) has been doing better since he's gotten dog chemo. Although he's not cured, he has his energy back and is eating again :)

How exciting, a celebrity chef for the day!

May I have a full English Breakfast (no baked beans) and a cappuccino with some sort of fancy chocolate art on top please.

Right. Sounds like just about all of us are feeling down in the dumps for one reason or another. I promised justkitten some special motivation brew, which has been accomplished. And I have ingredients left over. So tonight there will be a special brew made to cheer us all up. Should kick in overnight what with it being a full moon and all. It's halal, kosher, paleo, vegan, dairy free, nut free, sweetener free and gluten free so everyone can enjoy. Plenty for everyone so don't be shy.

PS. I also have a new cauldron that I want to try out

Finally finished off the last of this batch of stir fry.

Stuffed it up with cooking the noodles too long or something and they weee too soft and gluggy.

Hopefully next batch will go better. If not then itโ€™s the brand of hokkien noodles I picked up.

Everything I've eaten today has tasted increasingly weird. I think Covid might have finally got me?

Miss Meow really likes Mr Woof's new carrier. The sheepskin rug is apparently very comfortable.

Yaaaawn.

Brain dead tonight. Not sure why.

Might just zonk in bed and read whilst cuddling the cat.

Goodnight all โค๏ธ

I got in some morning exercise walking to Eastland and back to pick up my new glasses. I am now officially an Old Woman with both multifocals and reading glasses.

yesterday I noticed my little right toe has no voluntary movement but still has feeling. I tore the tendon many years ago and it's been iffy since but this kinda made me a little sad. I've had that toe for a long time and it's like a part of me.

Todd is home, after two days away at the mechanics. New spark plugs and a new timing belt, and he made friends with another Caddy in the parking lot.

They were running a bit late so I took a cab instead of walking down, which was very quick - I barely had time to get my shoes on before he arrived!

Having a professional mycologist play Guess The Mushroom in court is hilarious.

Adding in: I get that it's hard to tell the difference between mushrooms for mere mortals... but that still doesn't explain how the poisonous mushrooms were only found in the dehydrator and the four victims?

Bloody knackered, just got home. Can't stop yawning!

Is it normal to feel tired during the day and like you can't think or properly get words out?

I've noticed I've been really slow over the past bit, fatigued, tired and spacey. My cognitive tempo is sluggish. I don't know what's wrong with my brain. Ironically, I think it's the caffeine. I don't really remember too much of life before I started consuming caffeine, but I don't think I was this bad. I'm sick of having no energy to do things, and experiencing heart palpitations and nausea.

Until there's decaf matcha, I'm going to have to give it up.

Can also be thyroid or test (if you're a male).

I quit coffee about six months ago and steer clear of caffeine these days. I reckon I feel better for it.

I dunno if I've mentioned it but I like that you carried your random generated username over.

I really don't understand people's obsession with using Teams / Zoom / whatever for one-on-one short meetings that are perfectly suitable for a phone call. I get it if there's more than one person involved in the meeting, or it's going to be a detailed meeting. Then I feel awkward if I leave my camera off when the other person joins with it on (and 95% of the time, it's on).
