As I remember for dad , it's an exhaustive regime ... you have my respect & sympathies6.8 on this officially named by me as 'can't be ***** Saturday'.
I'm very tired.
Reason........
Awoke many times during the night. And then, as Mrs wants. Through to this afternoon.
Kitchen duties.
Enjoy your weekend.
I hope I can, maybe tomorrow.
What a great point you makeKiki must be finding it all a bit strange and wanting to sleep with you might be a comfort for her. Perhaps, once she is in her own space again she will be more independent again
I thank you mate @jjraak ,As I remember for dad , it's an exhaustive regime ... you have my respect & sympathies
Perhaps doesn't seem it beginning of the week, but that 'on duty' 24/7, I bet you're being ragged raw by the tiredness, it must draining day after day.
Even such sleep as you do get must be marked by that inner alarm system you'll unconsciously set, for any movement in bed by Mrs L, that even hints at that overarching fear she's getting up & maybe a danger to herself, alone in the early hours.
Likely of no help, and I know it's not the best way forward, but have you considered altering or matching your times more to hers ?
Must be easy to think while she's asleep catching up with everything is a good plan .
Might it possibly be a better plan IF possible.
(And I get how restrictive that gets )
To maybe hunker down when she IS asleep and grab as much shut eye as possible, and do the catch up stuff whiles she's awake and you can at least keep an eye or ear out for danger ?
Just food for thought
As in conserve your ammo (& batteries) for the times they are truly needed....mmhh
Either way.
Best wishes you get some respite asap .
Yeah, I guessed you'd have tried it at least once , mate.I thank you mate @jjraak ,
But the issue is disturbed sleep rather than length of sleep.
And Mrs L as a body clock relative to a time machine, up and down the timeline.
And it is something, I have considered and tried and it's just worse, in many ways.
I am since retirement from shift work, to be awake from morning to late at night.
it's not my body clock that is out of whack.
and I do most days, get to bed together. But as you say, Mrs L is likely to go mooching around in the night, while I'm snoring.
it's not ideal but when it works its good, when it doesn't, it doesn't.
No rest for the wicked.......
Or.......
Just get on with it.
Very well done @gennepher for sorting out the nightmare phone problem so quickly and efficiently. It is beyond belief that they did an update that basically wrecked the pixel 4a phones.Sorry, no time today. Not taken Fbg because I was awake all night..
I've got an email from my friend and she says there's a problem with the pixel 4a battery. And that is my phone.
And she said it basically wrecked the 4a phone. She gave me details too lengthy to explain here. Apparently this update wrecks the particular battery in the 4a pixel phones. She warned me in case I got that update. And I did about the time of midnight and it wrecked my battery on my pixel 4a.
It is a good job she told me otherwise I would not have known what was going on. The battery level information does not work anymore. It appears not to be charging and it appears not to be going down in battery life. There are no figures... I'm going to settings and it says change your battery. Your battery needs replacing.
It did not need replacing yesterday. It worked, and gave me all the figures for charging and how long it would take , and where the battery level was at any point of time. This update has taken all that away, and apparently the update according to the Google site causes the phone battery level to drop dramatically and very quickly. This is terrible how the phone companies can hold you to ransom, just to make you buy a more recent phone. Be very aware and be very careful.
I Google and the Google site tells me that this update will wreck the particular battery in the pixel 4a. ***. The Google site say they will make an appeasement for this. So I go and look it up and I am not impressed at all.. you have to send your pixel 4a to one of their centres for a battery change. This is bl**dy useless to me because I need my phone for my hospital pre-op eye appointment on Tuesday. I need it for the remote to sort out my Cochlear processor at the very least. And more. The other option they gave is they would give you a small sum of money which was $50 and I clicked on the link to find out how much they would actually give me in English money and it was £41 but the only way you could get it was to register an account with this strange site. Give this strange site your bank details and then that £41 will be paid in. Excuse me if I come up with a whole pile of naughty words at this point.
Okay, naughty words have been said and the cat has vanished.
The pixel 4a as it is currently is one useless piece of junk.
I do not need any more crises in my life at this particular point of time...
I must've had psychic abilities because a short while ago I saw a pixel 8 Phone online, which was a fraction of the price of the new one, it was not advertised as new but in excellent condition. So I took a chance and bought it. Then I was terrified when I received it because when I checked online for the same thing because I wanted to see the specifications in its place was another one, but £100 more and it was locked into T-Mobile. I was pretty certain that when I read the details that mine was unlocked. But I was not sure and so I was terrified I'd wasted my money..
So last night in the early hours, I've got this pixel 8 phone out. I did not know if the battery on my pixel 4 a was going to run down into nothing because I had no information on it. And then I started setting up this pixel 8 which happened to be a brand-new phone, but without the paraphernalia with it. I was terrified the whole way through because I wasn't sure what it was asking and I was tired and I wanted to go to sleep. And asked for me to put my SIM card in which I did and thank goodness it was unlocked.
Then I had to do all the rest of what was associated with that.
I didn't have the time to prepare the pixel 4a for the transfer, and literally prayed that WhatsApp was fully backed up and would later transfer. Fortunately, I have been efficient in setting up WhatsApp on the 4a, so it transferred effortlessly.
I now have to set up and register again with Cochlear, to pair my processor with the pixel 8 so I can program it and use it as a remote. I need all this for Tuesday....
So much more I need. I have been working the last few hours registering some of the apps again and signing in et cetera, et cetera.. and I still have a pile to do.
I had wanted to chill out today and tomorrow, so there are any tests I would have on Tuesday would be as good as possible... no chance of chilling out now.
I'm going to cook some breakfast... it might just be eggy bread... I know I shouldn't have the bread with my diabetes, but I feel like carbs at the moment.... I could eat a whole blooming loaf of crusty sourdough bread, but I've only got a little bit left....
Creative..... that's the moon the other night popped in a kaleidoscope App, and that's all you're getting.
Have your best day if you possibly can...
I wonder how many people who still have a pixel 4 a as their working phone, will wake up this morning thinking what the heck has happened to their phone...
I am sorry, but I won't be looking in today and I send hugs for people with problems and take care...

Oh Gennepher, technology eh? I really sympathise with you over all this trouble. I don't know how you cope with it all. I certainly couldn't.Sorry, no time today. Not taken Fbg because I was awake all night..

Big hug for all the trouble and stress the update to your phone caused. The silver lining to that huge black cloud is the new phone you had bought even though there is so much extra work. Thank you for sharing the kaleidoscope.Sorry, no time today. Not taken Fbg because I was awake all night..

Northumbria Giza plateau?Good morning everyone on quite a cold start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this am. Whitby was cold yesterday out of direct sun where even the pale efforts of a winter glow gave some small comfort. Lunch in a pub that we like with views overlooking the harbour. Today, Mrs Miggins is off on a 12 walk with a group of veterans. I have the exhausting task of drop off and pick up driver, mainly due to protestations from over 50% of body parts after a 6 mile practice walk last week. “A podium and a prison is each a place, one high and the other low, but in either place your freedom of choice can be maintained if you so wish.” (Epictetus, Discourses, 2.6.25). Art bit - how did that happen? May your day include at least a decent slice of time for yourself. I better have my koffy and then make up a flask and a packed lunch for Mrs Miggins.
Cheers mate.Yeah, I guessed you'd have tried it at least once , mate.
I can't think of anything else useful to help.
But I do know it's a real Rubik's cube each day of trying to get the best of settings to allow you to care for her and also to self care for yourself, so you can care for her, etc etc etc
Nothing but respect & always willing to support when needed, little help though that is in the ether of web world .
Best wishes to you both
Take care , fella
