On October 10th I was supposed to get a tooth extracted. I was given the max anesthetics but my NHS dentist had to stop as I was in tears with the pain.Going private the only option. Raging infection. NHS waiting list 18+ mths. So if anyone's feeling generous - www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/vn97Qvj...
Tooth Trauma Relief
Botched extraction and NHS waiting lists mean I need to go private.

Bugger, I wish I'd thought of this. Decades I've wasted on acknowledging shitty humans, decades.😂
Dogs are, as always, so much wiser than humans.

In relationship news, Persey has a boyfriend. He's 10 and Persey's 2½ so a bit of an age gap, especially in dog years...kind of an Anna Nicole Smith and Howard J Marshall thing going on.😂 Persey's also about ¼ of his size.😄
Anyway, meet Frank.🐾🥰🐾

My entire team (5 of us) is either sick (I still have the BPPV going on but most of the time I can work with that) or on annual leave. 🫨😲
This leaves me in charge, and doing four other people's job as well as my own. Eeek!😬😂

I won a lucky dip on the lottery last night. I mean, I appreciate the gesture from them and I don't want to come across as ungrateful and all but, well, it's not really cutting the mustard. I need a little more than that please!😬😄

Toothache. Bad toothache. 😬😥 Quite grumpy about it. ABs not worked. Have appointment for tomorrow but my BPPV is so awful right now I'm not sure I can make it. It's too bad for me to walk there, but also too close to get a cab without looking fucking ridiculous.🙄

Last full day looking after Peg.🐈⬛🥰🐈⬛ She wasn't keen on getting up this morning.😆 Also, the way she was lying meant I had to lie diagonally across the bed so not to disturb her.😂
Back across town tomorrow to my flat...where there are NO* animals.😭😭😭
*next door's dog but I can't snuggle up to her.😥

And I think she's a Cat Stevens fan as she's been purring like a tank since I popped him on for tunes.

Peggy sitting...she came through to my room before me & 'bagsied' the bed.🐈⬛🥰 🐈⬛
I'm lying on t'other side but right at the edge & not actually under the duvet because I don't want to disturb her by ruffling about with it.😬 And I *definitely* can't move the blanket or I'll be in Very Big Trouble™.🤣

Lunch out today at a delightful vegan cafe just minutes from my flat. I'm not vegan but this place is just lovely. Delicious food & epic coffee. Owners are charming and always up for a chat should you do wish. They also play vinyl in there, it sells plants & local artwork, plus there's a book swap.

AC/DC are playing the castle tonight. If the wind was in the right direction I'd be able to hear them but sadly not tonight.
The Who played a couple of years ago and it was clear as a bell. Bonus concert for free.😊🎉
