Touch wood, I haven't had covid yet. One of the many benefits or being a hermit I guess. Still, my partner goes to work and brings home all sorts of nasty diseases! She had the past 3 days of work last week because of it. So I was worried that I may not be attend the assessment days this week. Which would make things difficult since they are mostly role plays with another student. So it's a bit hard to make up for if you can't make it. So far so good though. Sorry to hear you have been unwell though. I guess you could have gotten it from a visit to the shop... who knows. I hope you're feeling over the worst of it now.
Thanks for holding onto that hope for a while. Just a warning though, find somewhere safe to put it because you may need to hold on to it for a while for me. In late 2022, the specialist told me 2023 was going to be a hard year. I believed him, but as it turned out, they've just gotten harder each year since then. Hope has felt almost impossible to find this year. Everything else seems to fall away as well after that happens. I'm sure you understand how that feels.
Luna is still Luna. I've discovered if you turn the tap on in the bathroom basin, she comes running! She loves to get in there and play with the stream of water. It's right next to the shower, so she loves to sit there and watch me in the shower through the glass. It's not weird at all. 😀 She's also decided that she doesn't like Ryker, the big cat. She hisses at him whenever he comes close to her. Then he chases her and she hides under the cabinet. Yet she will still chase Roughy, our other cat, and try to smack him around.
