Help has many faces. Mostly furry ones.
My afternoons are spent productively while I lie on my bed trying to calm the sciatica. I am dictating two weeks per day of my Great Great Aunt Kate’s diaries onto my phone. This then transcribes them onto Notes and I transfer them to a Word document which I then correct and upload onto the WordPress site. It is arduous but, as a method, it works fairly well. Sometimes the transcription can be pretty random – “Malaga Tony” apparently is Mulligatawny soup – I howled with laughter at that one!
And then there is my help.
Icky-licky help who won’t go away. She insists on the licking because she knows I can’t do anything else, like work.
Meanwhile in another bedroom on the other end of the little house, Daisy is working on her PhD thesis.
And, yes, she has help in the form of Science Cat.
Monster is taking a keen interest in Daisy’s work, which is lovely for her.
I hope you can all see the cat hair all over the laptop! Monster is very involved. Daisy is very important to him and so is her thesis.
No one gives up in this house.

So glad that there is such committed involvement. Writing a thesis or dissertation is lonely, stressful work so the assistance of a fellow researcher who will be there to support & proof the paper is a godsend. Look at that commitment of even an upside down read! It was kind of Ted to move to give the dedicated scholar a place to collapse after stressful research. Monster’s dedication is amazing. And Pepper dispensing medicinal acculicking to help for sciatic recovery! Kudo to all!
I feel so bad for you stuck on your back in pain.
Your blog is what I read first thing read when I wake up every morning. The shenanigans going on lately inside the house are too funny. It is same thing inside my home with cats, dogs and a box turtle.
I had to look up a box turtle. They’re gorgeous.
