we gotta rat

 Evening

It took me a while to sleep last night, I was anxious about work. I woke up a few times too

this morning I didnt wanna go. I just wasnt sure what I was doing at work

Work was ok tho

we put out our lessons for the day in the morning then it was pretty much just me and Jack in a lab doing chemical disposal. I was making up litre after litre of sodium carbonate to neutralise the nitric acid. I was SHATTERED trying to keep up with demand! Jack kept saying to take a break but I didnt as he was literally drinking my sodium up so I didnt want to let him down. But it was hurting me to stand when I finished my shift.

I got home and had lunch with mum and went bed. Exhausted.

when I got up I sat and had a brew and then did some painting. I made Donburi for the first time when Jack came home, it was ok I guess. Bit too oniony for my liking tho but I would probably eat it again.

I mentioned to Jack that 2 weeks ago, I thought Oz was getting through his food dish pretty quick each day but thought as he was shedding he was needing more calories? so I didnt think much of it. But then we finished a bag of food rather fast too. So I wondered "is something eating his food out his dish whilst hes playing out?" so today I took note of how  much food was left in his dish and when I came back to it - having kept Oz in the lounge with me today - the dish was empty....

something was indeed going into his empty open cage and helping themselves.

After dinner we went into the garage with Oz to move the spare guinea hutch ready for the girls to come stay on thursday night. Upon moving stuff around I shouted "RAT!!"" it was there!!! after only having solved the puzzle today did I actually see it! jack didnt get chance to see it. So yes we have a rat. First it was a mouse now a rat. Great. I looked into the cabinet it dove beneath, to find loads of rat droppings....ewww. So thats it then. We found where its getting in and out and I am gonna go block it up once Oz has gone home. Hopefully the rat has left the garage by now. Dont really wanna block it in under that cabinet...I will have to then shut Oz's cage up all the time - making it so Oz cant go home - not that he does often to be honest. I will have to have him often to top him up with food and drink.

its not a total disaster as there doesnt look to be a nest, Oz isnt harmed by the rat or got fleas from it or anything like that. So could be a lot worse. Just something else to deal with. I am hoping by making food not assessable and run ways blocked off, that the rat will leave. I do not want to poison or kill.

I did 10mins of my new 2kg weights and boy can I feel it!!! dear god thats heavy.... and only 20kg....Theo's weights are 20kg....each.... T^T I dont wanna be like that tho XD

tomorrow

school and normal school day too, but next monday will be another disposal day.

Humidity is kicking off

 Evening

I didnt sleep well last night as I was aching. It was also quite humid. Jack was throwing himself and moaning and groaning in his sleep. I think he was hot. I was hot. So I couldnt sleep and got up, had fruit loaf, did some painting and yeah before I knew it it was midnight. I slept  pretty well after that

I woke up at 7:30am and bought Oz in, I left Jack to sleep. I had breakfast with Oz and when I popped to the toilet I left the lounge door open. Then whilst on the toilet I thought I could hear rabbit feet...then I heard jack greeting Oz. Turns out Oz had walked into the bedroom, found Jack and gone to wake him up!! He hasnt been in the bedroom this year and I found it surprising he had the confidence to just go in and see Jack. Clearly he wanted Jack X3 so he got plenty of fuss from the pair of us this morning. 

I managed 35mins of yoga this morning, I was so achy so I thought it would help matters

We went shopping which was fine, same old. We unpacked and had a brew. Then Jack went outside to garden with Oz. I was cooking meat and biscuits and prepping fish for tonight

my parents dropped over a few goodies they picked up for us and drove off

we had lunch then I sat and did some painting but I was really struggling to sit,  I just ached and it was bothering me. I laid on my bed for an hour. 

When I got up I did some more painting, bought a few clothes off ebay. A top tip - buy your winter wear in spring/summer! Its so much cheaper!! so I have ordered a new coat well its 2nd hand but worn twice. Much cheaper than buying new in winter....

my painting is coming along tho, its different to my usual stuff but hopefully it will turn out ok

I am gonna have an early bath soon as Jack wants to go game with Harvey and theo at 7pm. I will not rush my sunday bath for them tho >.> they can be late at times. So I will be by myself gaming in bed tonight. Got the garden to water later as it never really rained today despite it saying it was gonna rain. It is humid again tho. I hate this about the UK its so muggy even in peak summer - humid heat. I feel sorry for Oz who is still wearing his winter coat....

tomorrow is school, suppose to be thunder showers too! Bring on the humidity -_____-

we are having a day in a lab sorting out acids. So I will ether be making acid, disposing of acid or making the chemical to dispose acid with. Not sure which one Jack is getting me to do yet

Need more cranberry juice

 Evening

Jack's mum decided to give him a ring last night at 9pm so I got ready for bed and played pokemon by myself til 9:30pm when Jack joined me.

I slept pretty well and needed a huge wee when I woke up, a huge burning wee -______-

This morning I cleaned my chunk out, I cleaned the bathroom, I made both our lunches, I tidied up and kept Jack company a bit in the garden. Tiring morning! After lunch my body was shaking from exhaustion so I laid on my bed for 2 hours in and out of sleep. I got up and did a bit of painting but I didnt want to spend my afternoon painting away, it didnt feel productive enough somehow.

So I got up and went to see mum and I stayed with her for 2 hours, we sat with the girls, I trimmed truffs fur and she had bought me a lil rabbit coaster too

I came home at 6pm and did dinner and now I am doing diary before I go for my bath. I cant wait for a bath to be honest! feel a bit grim. Might do my nails tonight too~

i do feel a bit better today and my wee hasnt burned so maybe the cranberry juice is helping. Maybe I should get some more tomorrow?

Tomorrow just food shop and a bit of cooking to do

On the Cranberry juice

 Evening

We were like a pair of old people last night! I was so looking forward to playing Pokemon in bed. but by 9:20pm we turned the switchs off and went to sleep. We couldnt stop yawning and felt tired. I am sure its that patchouli oil!!! Im not using tonight as I wanna play pokemon. Jack fell asleep instantly. Took me a bit longer but a much better night than yesterday.

I was able to go school today as I didnt feel as bad as yesterday. I woke up to find two big house spiders battling it out in the corner of the room tho....not something you see. Jack managed to hoover one up, the other made a dive for the floor boards. Best not to think what lives under there... 

school was boring. The year 13 and year 11 have left now so there was lots of celebrations going off. 

I received a txt message from doctors saying they wont be giving me any more antibiotics....so just suffer then? I told my mum and she said she would pop in a chemist for me and ask their opinion

I left and came home to find mum putting the girls in the garden

we had lunch together, she had brought me some cranberry juice as she asked the pharmacy does it help or is if a myth? the lady said it does help. Mum also bought me this powder stuff you mix in water to drink for cystitis all it does it help neutralise you wee so its not as acidic and doesnt burn. She also said I gotta drink shed loads to literally flush it out my system. So much more help than doctors. But cranberry juice isnt my kinda thing, but that cystitis stuff is gross!!! I down it holding my nose.

Mum went into the garden for 2 hours. And I joined her. I tidied up the rhubarb plant and I sat with mum keeping her company. It was nice weather  out and I just enjoyed being outside. I got cuddles with the girls before they went home. Oz was helping too it was very cute.

she left and I bought Oz in with me and he sat on plush pad, I had a brew and sat with my laptop and watched videos and looked at recipes for Donburi. I did 15mins of weights which was enough. I ran a bath so I was in the bath when Jack got in. He had it after me and we ate dinner in pyjamas which I always like doing. 

So its 6:45pm and we have the rest of the evening to our selves. Jack has gone to nerd out upstairs and I think I will do ether painting or digital art. I just chose designs for my nails this week which I will do saturday. I also did shopping list. So yeah its hobby time

tomorrow, not got anything on really. I think Jack wants to garden. He might apply for jobs as he didnt get to the next round for that job he interviewed for on weds.

i will have more cranberry juice before bed and another gross drink T^T 

load of help that was

 Evening

did not sleep well at all. So yesterday was fluke I guess

I laid in bed aching but like a poorly ache. It was also stinging down there...

whilst we were trying to get to sleep I whispered "My Fanny is on fire" Jack burst out laughing and then said how unpleasant it must be for me

I got up and was up til 12:30am I just felt like death, my stomach was like an orchestra 

This morning when I woke up I just knew I couldnt cope with the day. I had a banging headache, I was shivering despite it really not being cold (was sweating last night tho) I ached and felt so so tired. Jack asked me to stay off sick but I chose to work from home instead. I couldnt bare another day off.

So this meant Jack would need to drive himself to and from work today for the first time! He was a lil nervous but knew he'd be fine.

He went off to work, I died on toilet then started my work.

I took regular breaks and had my loaf in too. I worked on making notes for the display and also did the title digitally for another display. I feel given how crap I felt, that I got a lot done. I went to bed as soon as I finished lunch and slept for almost 2 hours. I was dead.

I felt better for some sleep tho I have to say

So then I was with my loaf and worked on Jack's painting. I got it finished! I am happy with it and can't wait to show him....all the way on his birthday....in August....

good achievement tho ^^ I can start my next painting. I shall stash the painting away til august

In the end I decided I would ring the doctors as it was becoming clear, no one was gonna ring me. The receptionist said that my 2nd urine test came back fine. I said "I still very much have symptoms" he said "I will leave a note with the doctor and ether you will get a call or txt about further treatment. Might be you get some more antiobiotics" I have been left like this a week. Would have hurt to have just given me some more antibiotics!? Its not nice!! I feel poorly and horrible. So yeah I feel like I have gone through a lot of pointless crap. I still havent heard anything and its 7pm. Looks like I wont here til tomorrow now!!!!! This is gonna be another weekend ruined at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later on in the afternoon I laid in bed playing on pokemon. I was just so done. Jack was late leaving school as he had stayed behind for warhammer club again....the nerd.

I did dinner when he got home thank god it was easy. jack said I looked like death. I feel it!

I am not exercising today despite eating loads today - being round the house when youre hungry is lethal. My body poorly aches so I dont wanna make it worse and I feel like death. I am gonna have a bath and an early night.

tomorrow

its friday, I best hear from a doctor

I hope to go into school too, I dont enjoy working from home

I SLEPT and Extra plant X3

 Evening

I had my new essential oil diffusing last night next to bed (have it on every night) that mummy brought for me - Patchouli 

and my new house plant in the bedroom - mother in law's tongue

AND I SLEPT

like actual quality DEEP sleep

I can not recall the last time I slept so well. Naturally anyway, not drug induced

It was an amazing experience. I forget what good quality sleep feels like

I think I would have felt a 1000 dollars if it wasnt for the water infection I have right now

I may have only done 30mins of stretches and weights yesterday but upon waking up this morning it felt like I had ran a marathon and not done exercise for 5 years. I HURT

like when youre poorly and everything hurts

something is not right with me

I got to work and rang my mum to tell her about my good nights sleep! She was happy for me. I had messaged her last night saying "isnt thursday karen's birthday, we need therapy cakes"

she said "yes we do!"

so today as she would have more time she made cakes today ^^

I got work out the way it was dull

but coming home with Jack was nice even if it was pouring down with rain!

We had lunch and I went to lay on the bed and Jack got ready for his interview

and as he was on my laptop AND in my craft room, I had little to do! So I lazed around really

mum came over at 3pm which is when jack finished his interview it was perfect timing. She brought cakes she made and we had tea and cakes. Jack told us about the interview. I dont think hes holding his breath but he says it sounds good. He will know on friday whats what.

I did 25mins of yoga and weights then did the dinner on time

after dinner we headed down to TK MAXX as I was gonna go at the weekend anyway, thought might as well get it done whilst we werent doing much then we wouldnt have to go whilst its busy. I wanted weights, nail varnish, and a pot for my new plant!

They didnt have any suitable weights, no nail varnish but I got a pot. It doesnt go with my bedroom very well but only £10 and it fits the plant. 

We got back and I had a bath. As usual I put Epsom salts in the bath water but tonight it ehh kinda stung down there ^^; yeah wasnt a pleasant experience. Something is definitely up down there....I tried googling it today and freaked myself out with too much haha so I left it. I am not worried in the slightest I just want a cure!!! I should know tomorrow whats up.

After my bath I decided to repot my new plant. I had wondered why the plastic pot it was in had gone egg shaped rather than round. Turned out there was like one stem kinda by its self pushing its self out the pot which is why it had gone egg shaped, that was the 'tip' of the egg. So I tried to prize it apart from the others and it came apart easily like it was a separate plant so I potted it in its own pot and potted the rest in the new pot. So yeah I gained a plant! It means I now need another pot XD which is fine I am just happy I have an extra plant X3 I hope they both survive moving into their newer bigger pots. But I feel like I have achieved something today ^^ happy new plants~

going to watch anime - The Misfit of the Demon Academy - I am LOVING it. I will have a hot chocolate too and then play pokemon in bed with my Jack ^^ so proud of Jack doing another interview

wonder if I will sleep again tonight. I will use those essential oils again

tomorrow

school

same old

Sent 2nd Urine Off

 Evening

I didnt sleep that well. I kept waking up. One time Jack was snoring in my face and another time I literally ad his arm pit hair in my face!!!

But before that we were monning in bed doing raids which made a change but i didnt get to level my weak pokemon up. So I will do that tonight.

I felt deathy this morning. struggled to do a urine sample - just couldnt pee!!! I got a few mills and took it over to mums so she could take it doctors when they opened. She said I will here something weds or thurs in the mean time - suffer!

I didnt do the first aid training at school, massive relief. I have done the training before but this would have just been to renew my certificate anyway. Cant say I am arsed. school was a bit boring tho. I just felt so drained and tired. I couldnt wait to go home

I had lunch with Oz and took him home so mum could come pick me up at 1pm to take me garden centre I picked up the plant I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!! they only had 2 left - mother in law's tongue. I wanna buy it a fancy pot from TK MAXX they do lovely pots dead cheap. The pots from garden centre cost a bomb. 

Might water the garden, have a bath and do some drawing or painting maybe 

I feel a bit deathy now its getting on in the day

tomorrow

school but Jack is coming home at lunch with me! He has an interview at 2pme dropped me off and I went to lay on my bed, then did some painting. then I did 30mins of weights and exercise but it about killed me off. I didnt do it to any video I literally did my own thing at my own pace. Jack came home and we prepped stew for tomorrow then did dinner. We started a new anime called New Game!
