Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I’m so tired. Today has consisted of running the dishwasher and doing a laundry just so I don’t get buried again but the rest of it has been spent in bed. Walking a couple of times took my energy for the whole week.
Melbcat has been feeling really crappy, resting in her bed or cuddling in mine. She’s had her meds so I hope she feels a tiny bit of relief.
Craving seafood so bad! Two separate dreams about eating lobster last night. I really need to fix this.
Gosh I wish seafood weren't so spenny. I'm craving a nice seafood chowder for some reason
Jeans
The jeans still whiff slightly after two further washes with napisan and then a cleaning vinegar rinse. They’re hanging outside to dry now in the hope of getting some uv rays. It’s a lot better but tbh I might just use them as gardening pants.
Honestly I would have just got rid of them but they’re a good style and fit which I have trouble finding these days.
Garden
My plants are looking a bit sad because I’ve had my hands full. The zucchini have bad powdery mildew and one fruit is rotting from the blossom end so I sprayed and gave fertiliser for calcium.
Cat health
Melbcat is having a hard time. She’s still got the uti because I stopped the antibiotics (due to the possibility that they were the cause of the eye damage). She’s gone back on them as well as starting blood pressure meds so she’s currently in that awful zone where you’re taking gross meds but don’t feel better yet.
this weather has been dreadful for the plants. I lost a little succulent in my llama pot, it got rained on so heavily then with the heat it basically got cooked. Plants that didn't get so much water have fared better.
and hugs for melbcat 😘

How did Irving know Helena was an Eagan?
spoiler
She lied very poorly about what she did when she woke up in th outside world. She said it was a boring apartment when nothing to an innie would be boring, everything would be new and interesting. Also the night gardener deal. There is no such thing. And then her behaviour was off, she was beyond mean, she was cruel. And of course who else would have the power to do such things?
at the same time, I think Harmony figured out ( in the car park/building entrance) that Helena was acting as an innie, that's why she got spooked and ran.
Tap for spoiler
I think combined with Irving realising that Helly wasn’t mean when she made the comment about Bert, the gardener comment when recalling what she saw in the outside world and him realising that only someone with a massive amount of power could enable an outie to come into the team while suppressing the innie personality.
Gym in half an hour. After that, I can relax
