Second cuppa went down well

@DCLane you need a bemis toilet seat

 

[DCLane]

@biggs682 - I would have one only the bathroom has quite specific fittings. Bemis don't make a matching one. Apparently no-one else does so when a replacement was needed I bought two rather than have to replace an entire section of bathroom just to replace a toilet seat.

Anyway, job 4 done. I only dropped the washer in the wet stuff once

Now onto job 5 - painting. Given my abilities today I'm guessing it'll be on anywhere but the walls. Bikes are so much easier.

I have been and done my bit of cat sitting this morning . I think he was happy to see me although I frightened him a bit but he soon sniffed my hand and realized who I was. He was hungry . He had eaten all of last night's food and soon started on the food in jelly I put down . He had a break from eating and came over to me for some chin and ear rubs . He lay on the floor but made it clear he didn't want tummy tickles. He is a very gentle cat with soft paws . He showed how he can jump up onto the work surfaces and walk round ! Not sure if he is supposed to do that .
We had a good chat . Maybe a bit one sided, but he is a good listener .
He is a long furred black tabby. Well that's what I make him out to be .

Yeah....right. Try stopping a cat doing what it wants! Mine has mastered the kitchen drawers and regularly opens them and then drops stuff on the floor 🐱

yesterday, at the end of the day, the outlets in my office were experiencing brown-outs & black-outs causing my computer, phone & personal fan to crash & restart. the ceiling lights were not affected. today we plan to run an extension cord from the hallway outlets. I do need electricity to work after all ...

mid-morning 3! electricians showed up & rapidly swapped a cpl of the circuit breakers which had been aging

Also, it is pouring with rain here. That was not in the plan for today.

I suppose it may vary according to dose but I do not have medical knowledge so cannot comment on that. In my case the time between doses is 10 to 12 weeks. Certainly no closer than 10 weeks.
The injection in upper arm is usually but not always a bit painful. Not the needle going in but the actual fluid. I have a lot [ too much] experience of getting needles stuck in me but abdominal ones are usually painful.

oh really? I had no idea that's where you get the shot. hope it helps!
