05/12/19 (4)

Went to bed at 04:40, started reading but interrupted by Blue who enjoys rubbing the side of her head on the Kindle. So it becomes a choice between reading and annoying the cat by pushing her out of the way, or indulging the cat's desire to climb on top (for the warmth?) and leaving the reading for another day.

No contest. Cat wins, every time. It took four years to get here from impossible to handle without animal-handling gloves to the affectionate lap-cat she's become (well, most of the time). I'm not about to send her back down that road, so she wins every time. Little devil!

Good uninterrupted sleep through to 07:55, so about 3 hours five minutes altogether. That's OK for a dex night. Today will be occupied by the search for Betadine from an actual real physical chemist in an actual real shop. None of this modern online shopping business - you never know where those electrons are going.

More seriously, I use Google all the time but when I'm searching for things I'd rather Google didn't associate with me - such as anything to do with myeloma or constipation - I use a search engine with much better security - lxquick / Startpage.com or Duck Duck Go - instead. Results are 99% as good and the flood of search-related ads is greatly reduced.
