* Friday: The Doctor agreed with my guess that it was the sinus infection worsening and trying to infect my ears. I have a particularly brutal targeted antibiotic and ear drops. I'm off my regular pain meds as a result, and my food situation is about to become a tad complicated for the next week. (I won't starve, but I need to be strategic.)

Renovations restart Tuesday or Wednesday.

I’m exhausted. I did the Friday news prepwork and am gnawing at articles, but odds are I won’t achieve much before I face plant.

Saturday: We got a lot of things set up including printing a bunch of bureaucracy things and planning for Millenials taking over a bunch of my ordinary errands.

The antibiotic and the sinus infection are both kicking my ass. I need to lie down a lot. I will do my best to keep posting as much as I can.

Livia continues on her brave streak, hiding on my bed with the door open instead of going into a hide, and she even came out to politly signal she would like her shreds please while the guest was in the bathroom. I fed her in the room, but the door was open and she ate anyway. she's doing so well and I am very proud of her.

* Stocking up update: The Millenials found my cup of soups and ready meals as Tj's restocked. I now have a reasonable amount of stuff even with the way i need to strategize around my antibiotic food restrictions. A benefactor sent kibble money and that's going to be sorted once money moves where it needs to go for me to order it. I have hopes of this being just in time, but if it isn't there's enough cushion for me to get a small bag of back up kibbles from the local.
