Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

It all sounds difficult, @Dimity 😣

You don't have your own red bin? 

Getting up hourly during the night would make things pretty hard to cope with, I reckon 😥🫂

Would you consider a meal prep and delivery service? Just temporarily? Ready frozen or fresh meals? I know they are expensive, though. 

I am exhausted this morning. The pot luck meal with the neighbours went well but I got to sleep late. I have the dentist today plus I need to pop into work to train someone. Plus I should go to the chemist. All I want to do is go back to sleep.

Hugs @NatureLover . It's good It's not a full day at work but the extra takes a toll. I hope you find time to rest.

I usually set aside bins for myself but they're too heavy for me to look after at the moment. I've been having to remind people to put them all out for me - I usually do it for everyone.

I hadn't thought of meal delivery. I'm mulling a separate  fruit/veg delivery for seasonal produce.

How have the dogs been lately?

Thanks for the hugs @Dimity 

A fruit / veg delivery might be good except then you have to expend energy cooking it. 

Yes, if I didn't have the dentist today I might've done a full shift at work. I really need to, I'm so behind in the paperwork. But an extra day usually overloads me, so I'm resisting. 

I hope people have been returning the favour and putting your bins out consistently. 

The aggressive dog is still away, thank goodness. I'm slowly adjusting to the well-behaved dog.

Hi again @Dimity , hope you're having a good day...

I managed to not go back to sleep this morning. Went to work briefly, went grocery shopping and to the library.

Then dentist which took 4 minutes and cost me $246! 

Am very tired so I've put a laundry wash on and am lying down to rest.

Perhaps foolishly, I signed up to go to a Plant Swop at the library tomorrow - I don't need any more plants to water, plus I ought to be resting. Oh well, if it doesn't go well I'll know not to repeat it. I'm taking a Plectranthus (Swedish ivy) along to swop. It's exciting to think of what I might get in return, which is why I signed up. 

Hope you and your garden are coping with the heat and humidity today.

Well done on the work  groceries and library @NatureLover . The dental bill was a bit steep for 4 minutes! Did they actually fix the problem?

I've had a rest day today with a long nap. My psychiatrist says I can start reducing meds again. I'll get something to eat (I missed lunch) and try to do something useful despite a headache.

I hope your laundry dries well.

Good luck with the plant swap! I hope you get a nice surprise.

The dentist was just a clean and polish, @Dimity . Plus fluoride. 

I'm glad you're having a rest day with a nap, especially as you haven't been sleeping well. 

Thanks, I'll let you know what plant I get tomorrow! 

I hope your headache goes away soon 🤞
