Far and Away

🙏 @Zoe7 .....

D3 is still in the west, and seems to be finding some recovery there, spending time with S1, D1, SnIL and Grandbaby. Her health is better, but still wobbly - undergoing further tests.

@Zoe7 @Anastasia @Emelia8 ..... anyone else around.

I'm glad it's helped a little. 🙏

Yes they really have I will be thinking of you getting things done today ✔️

Good luck Monday @Zoe7 🤗🙏💐

That separation for S2 and D3 is probably helping them both as well @Faith-and-Hope so they don't feed off each other's lethargy and lack of motivation and can work on just themselves right now. Really pleased though that D3 is still in the west with her siblings and grandbaby - no doubt she is spoiling baby dragon a lot and getting a lot of joy from them. I hope the further tests show something that can be easily remedied and she can continue on her recovery journey both physically and mentally.

Have fixed one part of the fence - just need to wait for the paint to dry on a couple of strips of lattice then cut them to length and nail up ...this has been a job I have wanted to do for years since one piece popped off the lattice when there was a creeper coming from the other side of the fence. The creeper is no longer there so it is annoying now to see a piece missing ...will be done today though so that is great. Bike bracket next but need to wait for my drill to charge a bit longer - could get my corded drill out but would rather use my cordless one as it is lighter and therefore can use longer with my weak arms and hands.

@Anastasia Thanks Hon. Most of the first day and Tuesday morning are designated class set up times but my co-teacher has done most of that already. It will give me time to talk to the bosses though about what I will need for Art and work on the program myself. Going to do some of that tonight so I have a tentative plan for the year ...then I can change it as needed when I have a timetable.

I have no backyard or even balcony to grow things on. So I am trying to encourage Nelly into a cat backpack to come out to grassed areas and have a wander. She has been inside since we adopted her almost a year ago. Do you think she will have a bar of it ?

so I am working at it the other way. I brought a clump of grass with earth still on it, and a bunch of leaves and sticks inside. I have placed them on a cloth on the lounge room floor and will leave them there fir a few days for her to think about.

I have also swabbed out the backpack with the sod of grass, hoping that will give her a clue .....

If I can get her out there once safely, she will understand that the backpack is only a carrier. At the moment it represents entrapment, and food treats haven't worked either.

@Zoe7 @Anastasia @Emelia8

Oh that is so cute @Faith-and-Hope 😺 Do you have a cat harness for her as well so she doesn't run away when you eventually do get her onto the grass outside?

Nelly the true inside cat @Faith-and-Hope 🐱🐈

@Faith-and-Hope hope you are feeling a bit better today ❤☕☕

My mum has had a bad case of vertigo all week, no balance, dizziness, feeling sick and headaches

❤️ @Shaz51 .....

I bought a harness for her @Zoe7 @but it is awkward and would be very difficult to get on or off her, so I am re-thinking that one and will probably have to buy again.

I want to travel around with her, once I am eventually free, so this is important, but I can only take it in baby steps, for both Nelly and me.

You could get a cat backpack for her to be able to go places with you too @Faith-and-Hope I have been doing some googling to look for some for you - plenty of cute ones that also fold out and double as a shelter for her also. That might be a good introduction to the outside world - she could get used to going out in her own little enclosure but still being close to you.

That is really hard for both you and your Mum @Shaz51 Has she seen the GP about it yet?
