Last night Zoe was doing her usual wandering around panting thing. It is age related for the most part. She gets anxious and can't figure out what she wants to do. In the past I've taken her for a night walk but of course I can't do that now. So I was scratching under her ears when she yelped. Right ear. Again. I gave her some doggy aspirin and called the vet. We have an appointment for 10 this morning. I'm guessing another round of antibiotic ear drops. Poor baby.

I finally earned the $200 in Prolific and CloudResearch so I can buy my next tranche of Crypto. Of course I've lost 7.5% since I bought on 24 May ($15.10). I bought after a run up that I didn't really know about. Not that it would have mattered. I'm waiting for the Prolific money to hit my savings account which is where I fund the crypto and then I'll buy the next $199 batch.

My feeling is that in five years it will look like a genius move if I keep plugging away at the research stuff and putting a couple of hundred down every month.

It has not kept me from putting money in the 4.3% that is my short term money buffer.

I've got a new goal for the savings, October 2025 my son gets married. Second marriage and the new fiancé wants a big wedding and is a planner. So I've got a year to segregate savings for that. The crypto would also be a buffer if I end up needing funds for that too.

It is nice to have no money on any credit cards. Makes life so much less depressing.

I've been doing well with Prolific this month, I'm up to £65 and was hoping to aim for £100 this month. I've been doing them at lunchtime at work too, except today it's not happy and apparently the IP address is blocked. Farewell to my great plan
