APPARENTLY TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! THIS STARTED TO BE A THING IN THE YEAR 2000 AFTER SOME GUY GOT ANNOYED BY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO DIDN’T SEEM TO KNOW THAT WRITING LIKE THIS MEANS YOU ARE JUST YELLING AT EVERYONE WHO READS IT!

It is also Jeff Goldblum’s 70th birthday, so here is a Jurassic Park clip in his honour:

If you hadn’t twigged from the post title, and the random opening that followed, I have squirrel brain today.

I keep finding myself trying to do four things at once because I get distracted from what I’m doing and start something else at the same time.

This is not very conducive to writing coherent blog posts, but is not an unusual state for me to find myself in. It seems to be how my brain works (or doesn’t work?) at the moment and whilst sometimes it’s okay, it can also be very frustrating because I forget things and leave things half done and get in a flap.

It has not been helped very much by the political circus of the last few days – the lettuce is in charge now, yes? Or is it Larry the Cat? I’m so confused.

Chase is still trashing the joint (and our shins) with his cone-head, but he is allowed out for five minute walks and gentle exercise now which is a start. We have borrowed a doggy-doughnut so he can eat more easily at mealtimes without his cone, and he enjoys his cone breaks where I let him out for a loo-break without his headgear and closely supervise him.

He’s finding it very frustrating to say the least, and his shaving rash is awful enough to make me feel itchy whenever I see it. Poor boy.
