Can cats get Covid? Also how good are hotdogs and can I borrow a time machine for ten minutes? I need to give previous me a bit of advice..
ACHOO MEOW
It's been an age since we last caught up with Dr Renee our go to vet (and the last time we did I wondered out loud if a Great Dane and a Poodle crossed together would create a Great Doodle) and so we checked in today on the show to talk weather and covid.
If your pets are struggling in the cold, get them vet checked. If your pets are getting old and struggling with the cold, light gentle exercise is the go here, but get them checked out by your vet first. And after Lu shoed her cats away from her just in case she was contagious last week, the obvious question today was: Can cats get Covid?
Dr Renee was of the mind that it's possible but she hasn't seen a confirmed case from human to feline or canine come through the doors yet. This may change but for now just try to keep your sneezes away from your poor pets face. And as always, when kn doubt: consult your vet.
WELCOME TO THE LOADED DOGS
So West Wodonga has a new fuel stop called On The Run (or OTR shortened) and part of this new complex is Moe's shakes and dogs. Which talking about this morning, had us yearning for a cheese kransky smothered in even more cheese and bacon bits.
Hotdog talk turned to donut talk and that's dangerous territory when you're doing breakfast radio and you haven't had anything to eat. However my wallet over ruled my stomach today and I settled for a bowl of oats instead.
It's payday tomorrow night though and a kransky this week really wouldn't go astray...
HI PAST ME, ITS ME FROM NOW. OR YOUR FUTURE VERSION. OR SOMETHING. IT'S A BIT CONFUSING BUT BARE WITH ME.
So once upon a time (better known as the breakfast run one of two) I used finish up on the show mid arvo, come home and jump straight on the laptop and prepare for the next day's show, hours in advance.

| Me back then, wondering what I missed out on.. |
And I would do this right up until dinner, eat, put something on TV (usually a downloaded show) and have that on in the background while I played games on the same laptop til snooze time. Day in, day out.
Yeah not a great way of doing anything really and it wasn't long before the show really became a chore, with my fear of missing out on big ticket news stories that we had to jump on. I worked way too hard for...well I can't remember why exactly. It probably seemed important at the time.
Funnily enough, when I get home this time around (and it's rare that it's in the afternoon when I finally make it back) I eat and jump onto the computer.
But it's to do anything and everything other than research for the next day. Because when I get in an hour before the show starts tomorrow, the news is right there. The breaking stories have broken and I can cherry pick what we need and what we feel the audience either needs to know or will get a kick out of hearing. Trying to do this more than eight hours before it happens is absolute madness.
No my computer time this go around is for writing and content creation, which is a big hobby of mine. There's this blog and the daily updates, my failures at Supercoach, Driveanotherday.com my car blog and the latest book I'm working on (Last Theif Standing). I work on my finances, grimace at my crypto going sideways, log my workouts via Fitocracy and when the mood takes me, create the odd video or two.
Like today when a joke between myself and fellow announcer Guy M in the morning shift inspired a random vid featuring towns made up off the top of my head. Filmed on my phone, edited on my computer and uploaded to YouTube with plenty of time to spare to register my son in a local laser tag league before picking up the kids from school.
While he zapped away, I took my daughter to the local arcade and now I'm looking forward to heading home for a hot bowl of lamb and vegie soup (I'm writing this piece while waiting for his league session to end).
After dinner there's no computer, my work there is done. Instead it's time on the couch, an episode of The Boys (wow is the 2nd season twisted!), set the alarms and into bed, not worrying about missing anything at all because it'll be there when I arrive back at the studio.
I lift a lot more weights in the afternoon, get to cook a lot more now, there's more reading time from books to comics because I'm not wading through the muck of news.com.au, I can spray things to my hearts content in the shed (when my airbrush is willing of course), enjoy a cuppa and can work on the car if need be. So many options right there when you exit work mode and find something else to do.
If only I could go back in time and gently close the laptop on myself, suggesting more time exercising like I'm enjoying now or if I am going to have that much screen time, I'm really going to get creative there. Get to writing and find that love early, create create and create some more.
But most importantly: Al relax, you got this and you'll be just fine.
Oh well, live and learn. Let me know what you thought of the YouTube clip.
See you tomorrow!
