Lockdown 796

Lockdown Day 796-31 May 2022

After a sleep deprived night with an ill dog, we drug our tired bodies out of bed to face the day. Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 was playing over and over in my head.

The vet concluded Roxy has a case of viral enteritis with secondary infection of the gut. Two injections and hefty feeding and medication instructions later, Roxy and I both fell asleep, totally exhausted.

At lunchtime, things started looking up and the sun was out. We went for a stroll and had some tea. The rest of the day I bogged down and focused on the unpacking and reorganising of our chaotic, semi-unpacked bedroom, finishing just before dinner time.

Thankful for an early start on dinner with my slow cooker, I sat down to enjoy lamb knuckles braised in a Mediterranean sauce with pickled shallots, baby carrots and mange tout. I also slow roasted Kara Orange sweet potato in the oven.

We go to bed, praying for good REM sleep, Roxy's healing and rain for the dams. Because God's got this.

Enjoy the song!
