I am sort of in this state of just wanting to go back to bed all the time every day. This is new for me.

My stepfather tried to sell plants on ebay. Ebay said no because 'plants seeds bulbs nope' in Australia. I told my parents I'd put it up on FB marketplace, which I did last night at 10:30pm. And then I turned my notifications off because by midnight I already had three inquiries. By 8am this morning, I had 20 notifications. And then I called my mother and discovered that she's given away or planted out all but 7 of the offered plants. *facepalm*

Also, people are incredibly bad at reading: the ad said 'pickup from [postcode]' and half the responses are "where do I pick this up from?"

Hainan chicken is not getting better. She's not getting worse but neither is she improving back to normal. I am not sure if normal will ever look anything like what she used to be before the peronitis. We are medicating her and everything - half a GIANT DOG TABLET and a squirt of gel morning and night, but another vet visit might be in order...

Work is unbelievably boring right now. As in, there's not a lot to do (although I guess I should do more documentation) and it's also a little frustrating. I'll have to work on something today using someone else's userID because he as permissions and access and I don't (yet). I can do this by him signing on to an emulator on his computer, and me sharing his screen. However, he can't work on another window on his computer while I'm sharing his screen. We tried it and it doesn't work. He seems to think that he should be able to because I'm working on the emulator and he's working on his computer, but we tried it and it doesn't work and I'm not sure he actually understands that the computer itself has only one set of input and two people can't be fighting for input all at once.

I'm tired. I'm medicating a chicken 2x a day. I'm also medicating and more or less looking after the neighbour's cat - they've gone away on holidays and 'we' are feeding and medicating her. Which, by 'we', it really means 'I'.

The dishes are piling up and I should like not to have to ask B1 to wash them; I'd like them to just be done. Although she has a point that most of them are mine, but...I'm awake about 12 more hours than she is, and I don't eat out of the cooking pot. These things make a small but significant difference.

Okay, today we are cooking roast pork, and also pickling lilly pillies. That is, if they haven't all grown mould; I picked them maybe 3 weeks ago and they've been sitting in the fridge in a box...
