THE GIRLS

 There were no 'before' and 'after' photos of the girls yesterday.

Kinda thought I'd save them for today. 

Cos, well... there is not much happening today. 😂😆😊

Life is back to 'normal' for now.

Stew is still working from home.

Shops are closed.

We are still in Level 3.  We MIGHT find out this afternoon if our level changes, but somehow I don't think it will.

There were 4 Covid cases in the Waikato yesterday, and 47 in Auckland.  I am really PRAYING that the Waikato numbers do NOT start going up again.

SO SO sick of fucking Covid and all the restrictions that come with it.

So, here's the girls before and after photos, after their groom yesterday:

ABOVE:  They were so overdue for a groom!  Marley could hardly see ... poor girl.

But, it was just so hard to get an appointment at our 'usual' groomer, we had to wait months, and then they had to cancel them all!  

Now I know, after yesterday's ring around, that there ARE other options out there.

Thank goodness.

ABOVE:  You can hardly tell it's the same dog.  I must never forget to pre-book their next groom again.

Worth noting, they ae both slimmer now.  We weighed them and they LOST ALMOST half a kilo after being groomed!  😝😊

What's me plans for today?  I might just fluff around in me sewing room.

There is NO pressure to make anything, all our markets have been cancelled or postponed, thanks Covid.

The next one that MIGHT happen isn't until January.

I'm thinking of making a few Christmas presents for family now.   

SEVENTEEN DAYS until the new carpet goes down.  

This week I have no prep to do towards any renovations.

In a week?  Plenty to do.  Mainly getting everything out of the bedrooms and living rooms.

Furniture.  

Wardrobe contents.

TV cabinets and so on.

But this week, nothing to do!  

We have been on the go for so long, it feels weird.

I woke up hungry.

And tired again.   Tossed and turned all night long with hot flushes.  God help me when Summer really hits.

ABOVE:  I had breakfast, which I virtually never do.

Stew asked if I was trying a new diet?  Regime?  Whatever.

I said NO.

I am NEVER going on another diet.  EVER.

I am done with them.

From now on, it will be just what I want, when I want, in the right proportions.

How long can you live your life in a constant state of dieting, watching what you eat, when you eat???   I'm friggin over it.  I've been 'on a diet' since I was 18.

I've been called fat and lazy, a disgusting pig and many more names than I care to remember.

By 'family' and total strangers.

I am how I am.  I will be fat.  I will be slimmer.  I will be unfit.  I will be fitter.

Who the fuck cares?  Not me any more.  I am going to die happy.  And I might be FAT.

3.15 pm:  And I'm just home from the supermarket.

Monday afternoon is clearly a damn good time to go to the supermarket.  It was as 'empty' as I've ever seen it.   So were the shelves in quite a few places, but luckily, not lacking anything I needed.

I also took our new Lamp Print to a Framing shop to get framed.   I emailed them photos of it, and where it was going so they would have some idea of what to suggest to me when I got there.

That sure saved some time.  It will be ready in about a week.  ( I did not enter the shop, but stayed outside, socially distanced, and talked to the shop owner from a good 3 meters away).

Now, I've put all the groceries away and am having a very late lunch.

Our Covid numbers sucked again today, though the Waikato has very low numbers.  It's still going to keep us in lockdown I reckon ... we find out at 4 pm.

4.15 pm:  AND...  we remain in lockdown until Friday, when the levels will be considered again.

Dammit.

ABOVE:  Dinner this evening was a prawn salad.  We enjoyed it.

Now it's time to wind down and just chill out watching TV.
