Book Review: Whiskers, Feathers & Fur: Veterinary Tales by Austin Donnelly

⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

I could swear I've already heard this book, within the last year or 18 months, but it was only published a couple of months ago, so it can't have been.

There are good bits, yes, but there isn't as much about the animals as I was hoping... it's more like a memoire about the authors life, rather than the animals he's treated.  I'm half way through chapter 5 and it's been more about the author learning to be a vet than the animals so far.

My hubby has just explained that Noel Fitzpatrick is Irish and he's a vet so maybe I was getting them both confused at the start of the review??

The author has mentioned an animal, very briefly, but we're back to his memoire again now. So many of the reviews say that they laughed but I haven't even raised a smile yet... it takes a lot to make me laugh, but I smile pretty easily yet this book hasn't even achieved that yet.

The author has just mentioned doing a pregnancy test on an animal, but it was only maybe a couple of sentences.

Oooh!  A paragraph about an animal now!  It's only taken 6 chapters!

Another animal... hopefully there will be more animals, less memoire from now on!

Ah-ha!  No wonder I remembered an Irish vet reading a book but couldn't find it anywhere - Steve's just said that he was listening to the Noel Fitzpatrick one when it first came out and they both start out very similarly... it sounds like this author has taken the idea and run with it, but instead of focussing on the animals that the title of this book made me hope, it's actually a memoire of the author rather than much talk about the animals he's treated since becoming a vet.

There's just been a euthanasia story in chapter 7 which was OK, but it didn't make me tear up or even feel slightly emotional which is strange for me 'cos I'm a very emotional person about things like that.

We're currently at 3 stars and that's cos I'm in a good mood right now... I can find very few positives about this book unfortunately.

At last... chapter 9 and there's more than a paragraph about animals!

Chapter 10 is back to being a memoire again.  Considering the title promises "Veterinary Tales" there is a very disappointingly small amount of them unfortunately.

Now he's going on about mankini's!  What on Earth does *that* have to do with being a vet??  This really wasn't what I was hoping for and definitely not in a good way!

What have Tazmanian bachelors got to do with animals and being a vet too?  The title is very misleading about the contents of the book unfortunately.

A few more lines of animal story sprinkled in chapter 12.  It should be the other way around IMHO though... it should be humans sprinkled through but focussed on animals, judging by the title of the book!  Not a good book at all, unfortunately, sorry.

Sunday 17th May 2020

There was a Windows update for my laptop last night but it still hasn't finished after 10 hours so I'm doing another system restore thingy on it which'll take a couple of hours apparently, so I'm doing this on my phone atm, instead of waiting for a week like last time.

Gonna walk the puppy then come back an actually talk to Steve again this morning 😉

BBS.
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked and fed for the first time today and the system restore thingy has finished already too!  That means that I don't have to talk to Steve after all lol

Gonna go back to my laptop now... brb!
➰➰➰

Back now... it was pretty painless this time, prolly helped with the "almost an hour" (to quote Steve) stroll with the puppy.  Currently putting a restore point in again, after it was used in the restore and everything is ssslllooowww but all my files seem to still be on the machine, I've just gotta be patient until everything is back to normal speed again... should hopefully only be an hour or so.
➰➰➰

Change of plan for lunch... I'm having the Iceland pasta salad and Steve's having a Pot Noodle, 'cos the pasta will go off sooner than the pizza's.  We'll definitely be having the pizzas tomorrow though.
➰➰➰

That's all my pills taken until bedtime now and the pill organiser refilled, ready for a new week.  A couple of hours later than usual, but I had other things on my mind first thing❗  Time to work on the synopis for the rest of the day now.
➰➰➰

That's the synopsis reading better and I've got an audiobook to listen to then review, so I'll do that now.
➰➰➰

This book is supposed to be vet tales but it's a boring memoire instead❗  Currently at 3 stars and I've only got 50 minutes left to listen to, which is maybe one more chapter after this one, so I can't see it going above that unfortunately.  I've totally wasted my day with this book unfortunately 😞
➰➰➰

Taken me last two pills of the day so I'll finish listening to the book, review it and head to bed I reckon.
➰➰➰

Too cream crackered to do the review tonight, so I'm gonna do it first thing tomorrow instead and head to beddy-byes now instead.

Nite nite orl❗  💤
➰➰➰

Saturday 16th May 2020

Morning all.

The puppy decided to lick the tyres of a car on our walk this morning.  She showed great Westitude and determination each time we walked past her tyre of choice.  Silly puppy❗

She's had a big breakfast so it'll be a smaller lunch and tea today, just for a change.

Time to sort out the exercise spreadsheet and take my pills now then wait for the post to come... there are several rings due today, so hopefully they will fit through the letter box instead of the post person having to knock on the door.

Gonna spend the day editing my manuscripts again.  Time for the spreadsheet and pillls first though❗
➰➰➰

That's the spreadsheet up on my homepage now and Steve's just brought a mug of decaff coffee in for me, so I'll take my pills before I have it I reckon.
➰➰➰

Pills taken and coffee drunk, shoes advertised on Freegle so it's time to start editing now 😊
➰➰➰

That's the editing finished and a dismal attempt at a synopsis written for it too.  We're having a take-away for our tea and I've just taken my final two pills of the day, so I'm gonna have me food and head to bed then spend tomorrow working on combining my NaNo19 and JanNo20 novels then give it a couple of months and do a very intense editing session of the combined manuscript.  You watch me forget though❗  🤣
➰➰➰

Off to beddy-byes now.  Nite nite orl... sea ewe at some point tomorrow 💤
➰➰➰

Friday 15th May 2020

Mornin' all.

It's my brother-in-law's birthday tomorrow so I've just got him an Amazon voucher, but I bet Steve'll claim credit for it tomorrow, so starting in 2021 we'll only get gifts for our own family for birthday's and Christmas' 'cos I'm so pissed off with me buying stuff and him getting credit for it, so starting in 2021 I'll only get gifts for my mum, Chris and Melanie.
➰➰➰

I asked Steve to get more food for the puppy at the start of the week but he hadn't done it, so she's now got a couple of days worth left and the vets are out of stock of it and it'll take "a few days" to get it ordered and back in stock, so as of now I'm only getting gifts for my mum, Chris and Melanie and I'm doing all the Mitzi things myself.  Still waiting for the software and webpages that are now, officially, a year overdue and already paid for so I'll be paying on delivery, the same as everyone else now.  So fucking fed up of being a second class citizen around Steve❗
➰➰➰

Got 5 photo's of the puppy dog on my homepage now if you wanna go and have a gander at them❓

I'm the only one awake in the house atm, so I'm gonna finish off my decaff coffee then wake Mitzi up to take her for our second stroll of the day 👌

Not gonna get any studying done today, so I'm gonna start editing instead... it's not like I'm short of courses to study or anything❗  It'll do me good to have a break from it for a few days and I can hopefully go back to it refreshed and ready to keep learning on Monday.
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked 🐾 for the second time today and given her lunch... just one more meal at about 4pm then that's it for the day.

We met another set of new neighbours on our stroll this afternoon, so that's everyone on this side of the street now❗

It's almost 1pm 🕐 so it's our lunchtime too.  I've got a potato salad to try (I seriously hope it hasn't got dairy in it) and Steve's got a pastie or something to have for his lunch, so I'm gonna go and grab that for us both now.
➰➰➰

That potato salad was gorgeous❗  I've got a pasta salad in the fridge too, so that's tomorrow's lunch sorted too... yaaay❗
➰➰➰

M's just brought the shopping over and apparently we've got 2 huge bags of chips and Steve's got 2 bags of sausages too, so that's our lunch tomorrow and I'll have the pasta salad on Sunday instead.
➰➰➰

That's the editing finished.  Not bad going for about 10 hours and I'm hoping that I'll be able to spend both days of the weekend editing too now that I've done my first one.  I'm currently planning on spending all weekend editing then back to studying again after the puppy's first stroll of the day on Monday.

Gonna take my last two pills of the day now though, then catch up on Facebook and my email that I haven't even glanced at all day.
➰➰➰

That's me pills taken and I'm hoping to have published this blog post and shut down by 🕗 tonight, so that I can hopefully be asleep before 9pm 🕘 for a change.  According to my Fitbit app, I was asleep by just gone 9.30pm 🕤 last night and awake before 6am 🕕 so had just over 8 hours of sleep ('cos it takes into account that I was restless 7 times while I was asleep) and today was only the third day this week that I've walked the puppy twice a day for the last 10 weeks, so my body is starting to complain now.

Gonna head to bed 🛌 now... nite nite orl❗ 😴💤
➰➰➰

Thursday 14th May 2020

Mornin' all.

Just got back from walking the puppy and she was a naughty girl throughout, then we came home (obviously 😉) and my pill-taking went wrong too, which is usually another indication that it's gonna be a bad day... hope I'm wrong though❗
➰➰➰

I've now completed a course that was supposed to take 15-20 hours about ⅕ of the time and in less than half the time of the course I took yesterday (it was supposed to take 3-4 hours but it took me all day 🤣).

Gonna put this morning's photos of the puppy dog up on my site now, pause for lunch (cheese on toast) then start studying my next course (Microsoft Digital Literacy - The Internet and the World Wide Web) which is supposed to take 3-4 hours, but so was yesterday's course that took literally all day❗ 🤣
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked for the second time, the photos up on my site and our lunch eaten 🍴, so it's time to charge up my Fitbit before today's shop comes and I can carry on with the course while I'm waiting then.
➰➰➰

My Fitbit is now fully charged and the shopping slot starts in 8 minutes but Steve's asleep, typically.  Gonna start on the course now and take it from there.
➰➰➰

That's the shopping been and gone, the puppy fed, and my 3rd course of the day completed so that's it for the day now... I can catch up with Facebook and my emails and stuff now, then have an early night hopefully.
➰➰➰

Taken me last two pills of the day, so that's me done for the day now.  Gonna shut down as soon as I've finished my mug of coffee and head to bed and hopefully be asleep before 8.30pm 🕣 tonight.
➰➰➰

Just finished my coffee, so I'm off to bed now... nite nite orl❗  💤
➰➰➰

Wednesday 13th May 2020

Just taken my morning pills and the FA started working within seconds again, so my body has obviously needed it for the last fortnight.  My head is quickly becoming unfuzzy and I'm wide awake and ready to go again.

Steve said he "didn't get much sleep last night 'cos I was up and down to the bathroom 4 times" so he's going to be asleep all day so I'll get him to turn the telly off so that I can study today 'cos my prescription is coming today and Marie's bringing the shopping over this evening.

Gonna go and walk 🐾 the puppy 🐶 now.  BBS.
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked 🐕 and fed so that's it until lunchtime now.
➰➰➰

Steve's got a call on Zoom at 2pm because he's my carer so won't be able to study then, either... best get started on it now, while I can.
➰➰➰

Steve's listening to his podcast/video now and I can't put my headphones on in case the door goes, so that's me not studying today after all  😡
➰➰➰

The first things (a pair of shoes) that I ordered from Wish (you can get up to 50% off by using this code: chsbbzzz) have just been delivered and earned themselves a 5 star rating.  I'm gonna finish my zoop and take the puppy out for a stroll which will be their real test 🤣.  Gonna give it a few days of wearing then I'll write a review of the shoes on my site's reviews page.

The fitness tracker was due today but because of the CoronaVirus thing, I'll give it a few more days to get here.  According to the site, it's got a blood pressure thingamejig on it, so assuming that's reasonably accurate, I'll be able to phone the results through to my GP each month instead of having to go down there for something that only takes a couple of minutes to do, but uses up an appointment that someone else could use instead.

I've got 6 rings, another pair of shoes as well as the fitness tracker due by the 16th too, so I feel sorry for our postie if they all arrive on the same day 🤣

Gonna take the puppy for her second stroll of the day when I've finished my zoop then carry on studying the Microsoft computer basics course for the rest of the day.  It's been pretty easy so far, thankfully.
➰➰➰

Just got back from the second walk 🐾 of the day, for the first time in about 6 weeks and we're both exhausted now.  The puppy 🐶 has flaked out under Steve's leg, bless 'er... apparently she'd just fallen asleep when I called her for her second walk too - oops❗

That's it for the day now though, just waiting for my prescription to be delivered and Marie to bring the shopping tonight, then we can all have an early night tonight.
➰➰➰

Steve said the carer's thing is asking for a password that he doesn't have, so he's given up and gone back to sleep again.  I'm currently doing my backups and keeping my ears open for the door and phone.
➰➰➰

My external hard drive has finally given up the ghost so I'm using my new external hard drive for the very first time to do the backups and it's whizzing through them at a rate of knotts compared to the previous one!

I've taken my Calcium at last and I've just got 3 more topics/pages to read and learn then it's time for the assessment... I'll hopefully pass it first time considering I already know 95% of what it's been talking about so far 🤣
➰➰➰

My internet connection has gone down now❗  Typical❗  Might have to reboot when the backups have finished if Steve kicking the router doesn't work.
➰➰➰

Steve's got his internet connection back but I haven't and I can't connect to either of our mobile's data connection either, so I'm gonna have to wait until the backups are sorted then reboot... I should be used to it by now, but as soon as the internet connection drops, that's me unable to connect to the internet until I've rebooted my whole machine.  So far, something that should have been completed by 3pm at the latest has taken an extra two hours, a lost internet connection.  What started off as a good, positive day has quickly turned sour this afternoon.  😡
➰➰➰

Back again now and my internet connection is back up again, so time to download my email for the first time in 24 hours, finish off the course and put the photos up of the puppy that I took this morning.  Currently 4 hours behind shedule today... hopefully I'll be able to catch up with myself before I go to bed tonight though 🤞
➰➰➰

Just completed the course and updated the appropriate pages, so time to code and upload the puppy's photos from first thing now.
➰➰➰

Submitted a MS to a publisher and I'm heading to bed now.  Nite nite orl... sea ewe at some point tomorrow❗
➰➰➰

Tuesday 12th May 2020

Morning all.

The FA is a miracle pill💊❗  I'd even go as far as to say that it's on a par with the B12 injections❗  I've only taken one pill so far but in under 15 minutes it was working it's magic and 24 hours later, it's still making me feel human and keeping my head clear of cotton wool❗  For the first time in a fortnight (which was when I last took the FA) I fell asleep without needing to read a magasine last night too, so it obviously turns my brain off at bed time too❗

Time to take my morning pills now then I'll walk the puppy.

Gonna pause the electricity payments to Steve for the next 3 months so that I can move the money over to H's savings account to replace what he used to pay one of his bills 3 months ago without telling me.  After those 3 months, his debt will be clear though 👍
➰➰➰

Couldn't find a way to pause the payments to Steve, so I've cancelled it and I'll move the money over each month and re-start the payments on 20th August 'cos he'll have paid the money back then and will be debt-free to H... just gotta remember that I've done it now 🤣
➰➰➰

The puppy has been out for her poo 💩, so my anxiety about unbalancing, falling over and not being able to get back up when I pick it up ('cos I'm a responsible, law-abiding dog parent) on our walk has completely vanished and I'll take her out for our stroll 🐾 after I've taken my pills.
➰➰➰

That's the pills taken and because it's a Tuesday, I didn't take the FA so took the Calcium at the same time, rather than at lunch-time.  They all went down really easily, so I'm hoping that means today will be a good day❗

Time to walk the senior puppy 🐶 then feed her and start studying.  Study skills today then possibly another one if I finish at a reasonable time.
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked and fed.  I came up with a gross idea for another new manuscript just before I went to sleep last night, so I'm gonna write that then have me lunch (hash browns) then study for the rest of the day.
➰➰➰

That's the manuscript written and the hash browns smell like they're almost ready, so I'm gonna go and have my lunch now then start studying.  BBS❗ 👍
➰➰➰

Oh.

My.

God❗❗

I've just been able to book a delivery slot at Iceland that's being delivered on Thursday afternoon❗❗

I'm gonna go back to the site on Friday at 11am to see if I can get a slot for Monday evening 'cos apparently that's when they put up their new delivery slots, and it didn't ask if I'd got a letter to say I was classed as vulnerable either❗

WTG and thank you so much, Iceland❗❗
➰➰➰

First course of the day finished with a score of 100% 😌 - can't get better than that❗  Gonna study the 'Global Health Initiative: Diabetes Awareness' course next then have an early night I reckon 😊
➰➰➰

That's my cache's cleared ready for tomorrow's virus scan, so I can safely get my head around diabetes now.
➰➰➰

Passed the diabetes course and decided to do one (or hopefully two, as long as I can get uninterrupted time to study and Steve answers the door and phone so that I can concentrate on what I'm learning) of the 3-4 hour long courses... gotta motivate myself first though 🤣

Gonna take my last two pills of the day a touch early then head to bed I reckon 'cos I've got huge dark circles under my eyes after so many late nights recently❗
➰➰➰

That's the pills popped and my body is just starting to hint at needing the next dose of the FA after about 32 hours so I'll be able to give it what it needs tomorrow for sure.

Gonna head to bed 🛌 now though... not even 🕖 7pm yet, but it's what my body is asking for, so I'm gonna give my body and mind the rest and sleep that it's asking for.

Nite nite orl 💤.
➰➰➰

Monday 11th May 2020

Morning all.

Just taken my first FA for two weeks and my body is kinda going "WTF❓" and clammouring for every bit it needs to recover from the last fortnight of not taking it.  I've taken my supplements and remembered not to take the Calcium this morning, just gotta remember to take it at lunchtime again instead now.

Need to phone the pharmacy when I get back with the puppy 'cos I've got enough for 9½ weeks of pill taking now that I've found the box and I don't wanna take a box when I don't need it in case someone else needs it.

Also, I can, potentially, take the puppy out twice a day again, starting on Wednesday... it'll be a very gradual re-introduction to the twice daily walks 'cos it's been 6 weeks since we last walked twice a day, but our Prime Minister said that we could, so we're gonna take advantage of it again, in case he changes his mind later on if the Coronavirus deaths increases again.

Gonna take the puppy out for our first stroll of the week now.
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked 🐾 and fed... she entirely fell off the kerb and tried to eat a teabag that was under a car 🚙, daft doggy.  She was walking fine after her fall, and Steve said her underside felt OK when we eventually got home, but it completely scared her for a good few minutes after her fall❗  She absolutely wolfed down her breakfast as soon as the first few kibbles hit her bowl though, bless 'er, so her belly must have thought her throat had been cut this morning❗  We went out about an hour later than normal this morning though, so maybe that's why❓
➰➰➰

Steve's just made me a mug of decaff tea ☕ and the FA is already starting to help again 'cos my head feels clearer and I'm more awake already... gotta phone the pharmacy before I forget though... hold on❗

Can't call them yet after all, 'cos Steve's waiting on a call from his mum to say that his dad has just left to take him to his medical appointment so I'll try and remember to call them when he's gone.

The rubbish sack and recycling box lid is in the road too, so I can't get them in yet.  Steve said he'll do it when he goes out to see his dad, but I bet he won't❗
➰➰➰

I leant on the recycling box to grab the lid then walked backwards for the sack and brought them both in.  Steve's mum is on the phone to him now, so I'll phone the pharmacy as soon as he's gone to meet his dad.
➰➰➰

Just phoned the pharmacy and it was too late to cancel the prescription so it'll be here on Wednesday and I'll have 20 week's worth of it then, which'll keep me going for most, if not all, of the Summer 🤣
➰➰➰

Steve's back from his medical appointment and we're having chips for lunch today... after they are scoffed, I really do have to start studying though 🤣
➰➰➰

That's the chippies eaten and Calcium taken as well as setting my Fitbit to charge up, but I'm reading a book now... only a short one, but it's still not studying 🤣  When I've finished reading it, I've gotta review it on my writing site, writing blog and Amazon.  Be on the lookout for the review!
➰➰➰

The book has been read and reviewed... was only 60 double-spaced pages, so only took a couple of hours to read❗  Gonna study the Learning To Learn Online course now.
➰➰➰

Passed the course I've been studying for the last 3 hours so I'm gonna take my pills and head to bed for an early night feeling pretty positive about myself and my achievement this afternoon/evening.

Gonna do one last catch-up on Facebook before I head to bed though.
➰➰➰

That's the last two pills taken, so just one last read-through of Facebook and I'll hopefully be in bed by 8.30pm 🕣 and asleep before 9pm 🕘 with any luck❗
➰➰➰

Just scoffing an apple before I head to bed, but it will still be an early night if I'm asleep before 10pm 🕙❗
➰➰➰

Logging off for the night now... the FA is still keeping my head clear, which is awesome, I just hope it doesn't keep me awake all night❗ 🤣  It's felt so good to have a clear head again at last.

Nitey nite nite orl.  See you tomorrow at some point.
➰➰➰

Sunday 10th May 2020

Morning everyone

I've had two Freegle people interested in the cushion/pillow/beanbag that I offered yesterday and I've promised it to someone that'll hopefully come and pick it up tomorrow.  I've re-advertised the empty chocolate tin and box too.

Taken my morning pills, refilled the pill organiser and discovered a new box of the FA, so I'll need to phone the pharmacy in the morning to let them know that they don't need to worry about the prescription request they put in again on Friday.

Gonna take the puppy out for our morning stroll 🐾 now though.  BBS❗
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked 🐾 and fed, just waiting for her to go out for her poo 💩 now, then we can clear it up and put out this week's rubbish and recycling.
➰➰➰

We're doing the puppy's poo, rubbish and recycling after we've had our lunch and the Freegler is coming for the cushion this afternoon instead of tomorrow, which is cool and groovy and gets it sorted a day after I posted it which is awesome.
➰➰➰

Just put the walkies spreadsheet up on my site for the last 7 days and updated the spreadsheet on my phone ready for next week.

Can't wait for our lunch today❗  Gonna take the British Sign Language course at the New Skills Academy this afternoon, after the Freegler has been and gone.

Our lunch has just been delivered, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor now.  BBS❗
➰➰➰

That was really yummy❗  Totally stuffed now and wiped out after sorting out the poo 💩, rubbish sack, recycling box and cardboard/paper sack, but that's it now until the Freegle person comes to collect the cushion/beanbag/pillow thing this afternoon, then I can concentrate on the sign language course.
➰➰➰

Just finished the course with a score of 29 out of 30, which ain't bad going considering I had a break of about half an hour, waiting for the Freegle lady.  The certificate is up on my completed courses page now, if you wanna go and have a look❓

Not gonna study any more today - I'm gonna put more photos of the puppy dog on my homepage and catch up with Facebook and stuff.  Steve's got a regular medical appointment and our lunch "will prolly be in bowls" so I can spend the day on a longer course.  Might have a look around Alison.com and see if there are any shortish courses that I can take on there for free.  Hold on while I look at my courses to take page on my navigation site. 

Immediate thoughts are that I'll start from the top of that page too.  All the Alison courses are free to take, so it doesn't matter which order I do them in.  Gonna start with the second course on that page right now though, which is the mental health and illness course, which'll take me through to bed time, then I'll make a start on the educational psychology one tomorrow morning, after I've walked 🐾 and fed the puppy 🐶 in the morning 'cos it's a 15-20 hour long course and I'm not gonna rush through it.
➰➰➰

Hmmm, the mental health and illness course doesn't seem to be available any more, so maybe that's a sign that I need to re-do the list of courses I want to take there❓  Yeah, I reckon that's what I'll do from now until bed time... frustrating but necessary I reckon.  Gotta put the photos of the puppy dog up first though❗
➰➰➰

I've updated the courses to take page and there are now 45 free courses to take, of varying lengths that I'm gonna start on tomorrow 'cos I've just taken my last two pills of the day and I was cream crackered even before that, so I'm gonna publish this blog post now and head to bed I reckon.

Nite nite orl❗
➰➰➰

Saturday 9th May 2020

Mornin' all.

I've failed the test again, but I've got a list of my right answers and which ones I got wrong now, so I'm gonna take the puppy for her daily stroll then come back and try again.  I'll spend all day on the dratted thing if I have to❗
➰➰➰

That's the puppy walked and fed, pills 💊 taken, liquid recorded, and spreadsheet updated, so that's it until lunchtime now.  I've got a few photo's of the puppy to code and upload at some point, but they'll have to wait until I've finally passed this dratted course.  Wish me luck with the assessment❗
➰➰➰

We're having another roast dinner delivered tomorrow... veggie sausages and apple crumble for me this time 🤤
➰➰➰

Passed it at last.  I'm thinking that if I fail the end of course assessments more than a couple of times from now on, I'll do like I did with this one and keep a note of my answers to each question and use those to hopefully pass... only took 3 attempts this morning and it was a lot less stressful than last night.

Gonna have the rest of the day off from studying now so that I can code and upload Mitzi's photo's from yesterday.
➰➰➰

The exercise spreadsheet from last night is up that I'd forgotten all about too... I really am gonna sort out yesterday's photos now 🤣
➰➰➰

Photos are up now and I've had me lunch (pizza 🍕) so I'm thinking I'll do a couple of shorter courses (under 5 modules) this afternoon.  Might catch up on Facebook first though.
➰➰➰

Just finished a course so gonna download the certificate and do the appropriate admin on my navigation page.
➰➰➰

Another one finished, coded and uploaded.  It was a 2 module one this time.
➰➰➰

Third one of the day finished... got 2 questions wrong this time, but that's still a pass so I ain't complaining 'cos it's only 4 questions wrong out of 30 which is a lot better than I did yesterday and this morning 🤣
➰➰➰

Potentially my last course of the day and it's got 3 modules, so we'll see how I go with it.  I'll hopefully pass first time again, but I won't beat myself up too bady if I don't.  Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for me please❗
➰➰➰

The tests at the end of each of the 4 modules were the only assessments and how I much prefer to do it.  Gonna download, code and upload the certificate now and I'll hopefully have another certificate because I've now finished all the courses in the bundle.  Not bad going for an afternoon's studying considering I wasn't going to study at all today after I finished this morning's course❗ 🤣
➰➰➰

I was wrong about the second certificate... still got 3 more courses to study to get it 🤣  I'll hopefully have finished them by the time I head to bed tonight though.  Gonna code and upload the course I've just done, then make a start on the writing better emails one I reckon.

I know how to write better emails now.  The certificate is up on my site and I've got 2 more left to study.  Gonna do the email etiquette one first, after I've taken me last two pills 💊 of the day.

That's the pills taken and my screen automatically darkened slightly 'cos it's 7pm 🕖 now, so I'll study the last 2 courses, hopefully pass them both, then upload the 3 certificates and still be able to have an early night after such a late one yesterday.

Another course passed.  Just gotta download then code and upload the certificate now, then one last course to study and do the site admin on (assuming I pass it of course) then I can head to bed.

That's the penultimate course passed in the bundle, so I've just got the research one left to do now then I can go to bed, hopefully before 8pm 🕗 to catch up on the 3 hours I missed last night after going to bed so late and stressed out.

Done the research one and I've just got the procrastinating one to do now, then that really is it for the bundle course... I'm still hoping to be able to log off at 8pm though❗

It's 8.30pm 🕣 and I've definitely finished studying the bundle now, so I'm off to bed.  Nite nite orl, sea ewe in the morning.
