    I've managed to get quite busy today! I assembled the storage unit for under the bed. I've done laundry and hoovered out the accumulated fluff finally in the dryer 😸 Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow too fingers crossed! :-)

    Today has been a very tiring day for Treacle Kitten. She has been to the vets to be neutered, she's doing well but she's struggling to get used to the vest she has to wear. While she looks adorable wearing it, I couldn't get a good photo and I dont want to try her patience too much.

    I hate brain fog 😔 I'm not sure if its worse today maybe because the flu I had still is affecting my ears and its making me feel dizzy. I've got try and get some things done and it's very distracting and frustrating 😟

    Go easy on yourself if you can. You won't be very productive if you are still recovering and your energy might be better spent continuing to heal.

    I think you are right @Rodafina :-) I managed to get a couple of things done, mostly mopping the kitchen and packing up the faulty new microwave to return. It feels like quite an achievement. I think I'm definitely going to do as little as possible for the rest of the day 🙂
    MildredHubble
    Yay! Flu almost gone at long last, though I still can't hear properly 😿 I've had no sleep but I finally started deep cleaning the kitchen, its been on the list since we moved in. Its progress but I have to be careful not to over do things.

    I'm watching some Star Trek TNG VHS tapes I just got to take my mind off flu. I found them online, it looked like maybe 10 tapes in a cardboard box but its more like 30 lol! Only £3. Plenty to keep me occupied and I'm finding the old VHS aesthetic quite comforting :-)

    I still have some of my old anime VHS tapes, and I still watch them on occasion.
    MildredHubble
    MildredHubble
    That's cool @Metalhead :-) A lot of anime, I've heard has never been released beyond VHS versions so I know there are some shows etc that are highly sought after by collectors. I really regret getting rid of my old VHS tapes, but to be fair, at the time I just didn't have space 😿

    One thing that I do find jarring about the PAL region versions of Star Trek TNG, is that everyone sounds like they have been inhaling helium! But that's just extra authenticity and my sensitivity to sound! 😸

    This flu or whatever it is, is horrible :-( It seems to affect peoples ears. My dad had it and his ear drum ruptured and had to got to the hospital. He still hasn't fully recovered so I'm probably going to have this for a week or two yet 😿 My right ear has been whistling for days now 🤒

    Awww, she must look adorable learning how to use the fountain 💜🖤

    She does! 😻 The problem seems to be that she gets some on her nose and sneezes, which is cute too but it puts her off. She's still just a tiny mini cat though so maybe as she gets bigger it will be less of a problem :-)

    She is lucky to have a caring human taking care of her.

    I have flu, or something similar 🤧 I'm feeling rather exhausted 🙁 Its that kind of flu where you can't focus on anything and I was really looking forward to start building my Ghostbusters Lego this weekend. I hope everyone stays well and free of flu! 🙂

    I figured out how to get XBOX game pass to stream games well on my Switch Lite 😀 I had to enable performance mode, I still have to remap the buttons but I did manage to play South of Midnight ok for a while, so once I fix the controller settings I think I should have a nice portable gaming device and actually play some games for once 😄

    Treacle Kitten has been to the vets today and they are 95℅ sure that Treacle is a girl cat. They also said that she is very pretty! She's had all her injections and is doing great but she hated the injection today and seems to be very happy to be back at home.

    I don't blame her. I don't like shots either.
    MildredHubble
    MildredHubble
    I don't either! And there was quite a lot of fluid in the shot too! I couldn't believe there was so much for such a tiny kitten! 🥺

    I'm watching my Star Trek VI VHS tape on my "new" VCR! Sorry its out of frame in the photo, its perched kinda in a spot that's hard to photograph and also because its quite messy too and no one needs to see that 😸

    This is my VCR now that Star Trek has finished :-) Not a super amazing model but it seems to play as well as any I've seen :-)

    Yes! @Raggamuffin :-) They even made it part of cannon that he is Worf's ancestor in TNG! I can't remember whether its on screen or in the books, which would make it "B" cannon but its still official as I understand it 🖖

    I think having a kitten is like having an incredibly energetic toddler. Its like being at the park and trying to sit down and read while they play and shout "Mummy look! I can run really fast", " I can jump really high" Then they shout "Mummy! Look how high I can climb! I can fly!" and you say "That's nice dear..." Before you realize they have climbed to the very tippy top of a tall tree! 😯

    I finally got Android to run on my Switch Lite! Still much to figure out but this is South of Midnight running through XBox cloud streaming! :-)

    Treacle kitten seems to be figuring out now that cuddles and ear rubs can't follow him/her around when they walk away 😸 I do my best but I can't be a mobile ear rub machine, its difficult to fit under the bed for one thing! 😸
    MildredHubble
    I need to fix this insomnia 😞 I got bored and started scrolling through vinted and bought a VCR. It was super cheap and I'm sure I will have fun with it. But I probably shouldn't have. Now please someone take my internet away before I buy that special edition Alien Romulus VHS tape! 😳

    I feel like I should comment on VCRs being obsolete but I still have a passion for overhauling windup gramophones. You're fine--Just hook up your new machine to a cool old CRT monitor and have fun!

    You read my mind @Gerontius! 😸 The cool thing is that there is a thrift store nearby that always has a few VHS tapes for cheap, I think they had some Star Trek ones last time so I should have plenty to watch! 😸

    Well this is interesting. Treacle appears to be developing a very visible tabby pattern on his fur. Of course I know the stripes are present on most cats, but this is very obvious even in dim light, though ive not been able to capture it on my phone camera. He may be a relatively rare black tabby from what ive read online :-)
    MildredHubble
    MildredHubble
    Ok I managed to get a picture when Treacle finally was still :-) These stripes were there earlier but were dramatically less visible. In direct sunlight they look like a tabby! Its so fascinating! :-)

    Managed to get a picture of Treacle finally without waking them up 😺

    Treacle Kitten is so full of energy! I can hardly keep up 😸 It's ok though as after many chases and jumps Treacle enjoys a nice rest and a cuddle and a snooze :-)

    Kittens can be VERY hyper.
    MildredHubble
    MildredHubble
    That's very true! @FayetheAspie :-) Treacle is only just shy of 3 months old so they are the youngest kitten I've had, at least since I was much younger. I think Treacle is starting to have a few more moments where they like to cuddle so that's good. I was worried that maybe they were not going to enjoy being petted like my other cats did. But all seems well :-)
