on holiday
Apr. 19th, 2016 09:55 pmJust a short one, but it's a holiday. Only had to take one day off to get six in a row because of the Anzac Day holiday on Monday. I don't work Wednesday and they didn't grab me for Thursday :-) When I staggered back to work after Easter, having spent a week with my stomach bug, I said I wanted a replacement holiday and they said, oh, okay :-)
Really tired after a heavy couple of days. Tomorrow I have to see the doc and also pick up my new computer glasses from the optician's which will hopefully stop me mixing numbers up when I'm supposed to be adding up the same ones in two places. I'm not mathematical and finding small print increasingly fuzzy has not been helping.
After that; vague plans. I've been thinking I might have to take Dario to an outfit called Rat Medicine. Real ratty specialists, apparently. He's resistant to the usual antibiotic given to rats [Baytril] and I know from experience that the supplementary drugs used by my usual vets won't help much. RM uses a different treatment, I'm told, that involves Viagra. He's not too bad; reasonably active and eating ok, but his chest is crackly. Trouble is, Rat Medicine is not exactly close. I've been planning out how to get them there - may as well get Barnaby checked out too - and it involves two trains and either a bus or a taxi, depending on how (in)convenient the bus is. Also that new trap, excuse me, carrier that will hold both of them and still be small enough to hide inside a backpack.
Beyond that, too tired to think. I somehow managed a day's work on less than five hours sleep on Monday. I could have done the microsleep thing, but I know I saw the time each hour from around 10pm until 4.30am so I have no idea why I wasn't as exhausted as that would usually make me. Better last night but I'm still low on sleep.
An ex workmate is having a housewarming on Friday I hope to visit. This is his third inner city flat, which is giving me a good look at the rental real estate available :-)
Beyond that, hopefully will be able to catch up with folk. I'm a free person until Tuesday next week.
