Long time no post. Since my mom's stroke mid-2023, sent her to a local frail care, I have been rebuilding my life from scratch and it has been tough times, but I lost around 30kgs at least.

Now I live in a tiny house in a poor rural village ourside Plett and involved in animal rescue.

A life unimagined!

I have about twenty minutes to rest before I need to get puppy ready to go meet his new guardian.

He will have a nice cushy padded dog bed, blanket, two feeding bowls, tiny harness, puppy pellets and another 1/4 deworming tablet.

I will miss the little guy, but not picking up tiny piles of p**p.

Will have to wash all the blankets he christened too!

Got to see my mom for a wee while awake, but with a distant stare. Thanks to the 20mg Statin drug the neuro put her on.

Her short term memory fried and she tried to take a slug out of a bottle of shampoo I gave her to smell.

I finally got her MCT oil, so rubbed it into her stomach and asking carer's to do the same every day and add to her coffee every time.

Trying to get the bloody rubbish stopped, but 99.9% of doctor's follow along with general consensus marketed by big pharma and do not do their own research into cholesterol.

Now I pray carer's do what I ask. They change shifts every three days, so I put up a notice I typed this morning.

Been busy with animal rescue in the small poor rural community I moved into a year ago I go a 6 x 6m old one-room RDP house.

Landscaping work has been non-existent the last few months, but no time to sew, because always something to be done for doggies.

Right now have to rehome six thanks to a despicable animal Karen.

Got thirteen days left, so it is very stressful.

Trying to get permission to keep four dogs, instead of the two allowed on a residential property and hoping to get allocated a piece of land to use as a shelter.

Need big and small miracles, breakthrough in landscaping work and more.

My mom had two mini strokes, which have affected her, so on new meds by the neuro, which not good.

The Statin drug has wiped out her short term memory, so off to see her today with MCT oil I was finally able to buy.

Life is hectic and tough as I lost over 30kg's and still losing, but thankfully the good Lord has keep me alive.

Found Tiny Tim on Friday night at my neighbour's fence, but he has thankfully found a home and will leave today.

Oh for a dull life!

Landscaping biz growing slowly.

Moved to a tiny house in poor rural community a few weeks ago, so
Home nursery to start. First greenhouse up!

New garden, plus a community nursery to start.

Hungry dogs to feed, so life is hectic, but I visit mom as much as I can and want to restart sewing one of these days.

Second night in my tiny house and chaos abounds all around me after big move yesterday, lots of odds and sods today, plus more to come.

Have a sewing unit though with room for 3 machines and a work table tucked under bookshelves.

Poddles, my precious cat has now passed and mom in frail care.

Life is always changing...

Post lunch rest and Poddles likes to nap real close to me. Sigh!
