Mrs Basil did all the dog walking today. Standard dull Sunday. Did a food shop, deleted half my web server with a bad rsync command and had to restore from yesterday’s backup. The usual.

Another absolutely disastrous night. I left Mrs Basil downstairs with the dog and went to bed, exhausted. I woke at 2am hearing commotion. It turns out the dog went out for a late night bathroom break and was attacked by some unknown bug. A puncture on the snout which swelled up like a balloon, one on her bum hole which was raw from constant liking and scooting. Just a hellish night and a very difficult day that followed. It feels like this shit is never going to end.

Finally got an awkward power automate job done I’d been putting off. Well, some of it. Finally got back the the task my boss Is very eager for me to finish. Process improvement / Procedure writing. Heckin’ windy today.

A more “normal” night but still interrupted sleep since it was my turn babysitting the dog. Desperate for a full nights sleep. Another hard day in a string of hard days. And back to work tomorrow after a restful weekend.

Almost a whole day working on the thing I wanted to work on, but obviously the deeper I get into it, the more difficult and scary it gets. Pretty much all that I did today. Worked, cooked dinner, went to bed. The dog was very extra this evening.

Sleep is devine. Went to sleep at 11 and woke at 7. Delightful. Got some decent work done today but got stuck for a good few hours on some stupid Entity Framework nonsense, so I didn’t finish my work items. Dog still has a big scab on her leg, a sore on her paw, and a big pimple on her arse.
