Documenting not dying since October 2013.

The 31st of January.  Ho di ho. Terry Wogan died today. It's a good thing January finishes today; I don't think the world can handle much more of it. 

Mommy greeted me this morning with that cheery snippet of news - they hadn't taken Grandma to church because she'd had a bad night. I think she needs a different sleeping pill. I watched Sunday Brunch while doing a blog post, then went through Mommy's food magazines, which is what I was going to do yesterday when I threw the water everywhere. The living room has returned to normal now. 

After lunch, I finished crocheting the legs of the doll and stuffed them, then started up the torso. I've had to pause because I need to feed some wire down them so she is posable, but I also need to make a prototype shoe so I can gauge where to put the stitch to make the ankle. Can't have her feet being the wrong size!

I thought I'd go and try using the computer - I've been giving my eyes a rest from it. After a tussle with the bluetooth mouse (despite changing the batteries, it refused to connect), I had to get the cabled one, but then I whiled away a few hours on The Sims. 

I almost forgot to mention, today we finally made brownies using the brownie batter Oreos. They are going to be pudding tonight and I am really rather excited. 

The 1st of February. 

Woke up with a start because Grandma rang me by accident. My ringtone is Sail by AwolNation and the first note is pretty powerful and alarming when not expected. 

I had to get up early anyway because I had an appointment at the hygienist, then dentist at ten to eleven. Just before going, I saw a woman on Jeremy Kyle with the most upsetting front teeth, very poor dental hygiene, and I mentioned this to the hygienist who blanched. Neither of us can imagine how it is possible to not brush one's teeth. She gave me lots of praise, as did Liam - I am their star patient obviously. I'm think I just like going because they tell me how great I am. 

The rest of my day has been taken up with finishing the crochet doll. I finished off the second arm, stuffed them both, added the wire, then attached them to the body. Then stuffed the head, put in the eyes and attached that too! Now I'm in the process of making the hair which I've never done before, so that's an interesting process. No pictures yet because she's naked and bald right now and it would be rather undignified.

The 2nd & 3rd; I am not the sort of woman men want to date.
