Double decker

Bert had his second jab today. He was a little confused about being back at the vets with no activities after last night’s Puppy Pre-School. He was very happy when he got to choose a new toy afterwards though. In fact, he got 3 new toys and an antler to chew. It appears I am that dog-owner.

His second jab knocked him for six so he’s spent a lot of today asleep. I took advantage of the calm to get lots done.

Dodo took advantage of the top deck! I’d put the radiator bed up there as I couldn’t open the crate door. There was lots of purring and snoring going on.

Of course, Bert was fully refreshed this evening, tearing round the living room. He loves his antler and has been chomping away on it. Now he’s had his vaccinations, he’ll soon be able to explore more and have some puppy play dates. Exciting times ahead!

Vaccination hangover

I had boundless energy last night and like I could dance for hours. Today I woke up feeling like I had! The only way to describe it was a hangover. I felt woozy, wobbly and with no energy. All very odd. In fact I still feel a bit odd. Sure it’ll go soon enough. And trust me, it’s nothing like having a Covid.

Had a duvet day and took it really easy. Went to do my meal deliveries though. One of the chaps I deliver to gave me an Easter present. So sweet. Makes me realise how much they appreciate the delivery. They all said that they weren’t sure if they’d see me today. But we’re all very pleased they did.

Covid jab

I know some people have felt ill after it, but I’m feeling full of energy after it. Very odd indeed.

Good job too as I spent the rest of the day cleaning out the shed, the greenhouse and starting off my seeds for this year.

Treated myself to a Chinese takeaway too. Happy Easter everyone!

Fed up

Today had been one of those day where I’ve been fed up. Not because anything major has happened. Just because. Fed up with the weather. Fed up with the restrictions. Fed up of being on my own. Fed up of not being able to do the things I love. Fed up of not being able to see the people I love. Fed up of not getting work. Fed up of feeling useless. Just fed up.

BUT it’s OK to feel like this. Lockdown Limbo is draining and gets us all down from time to time. As they say ‘we’re all in the same storm, but different boats’. Today I’m feeling fed up, battered and a tad seasick.

I’m not after sympathy. I know it will pass. And it’s not all bad at all. I’m very lucky in so many aspects of my life. I have a lovely house, 3 gorgeous cats, a handsome horse and so many wonderful people in my life. Just some days are harder than others.

Watching the kittens play in the snow did make me giggle. Love their footprints on the conservatory steps. You can tell which are Nero’s too.

And my parents had their Covid vaccination today. Roll on a brighter future for us all.
