The 4th & 5th; He will be loved forever.
The 4th of September. Keeping busy. I had a reasonable sleep, thank god, and today I've just been trying to keep my mind concentrating on different things.
This morning, I wrote up a blog post, and rang up Lydon's to book the kittens in for their first vaccs. Mommy stood on Harvey's foot last night and was worried that she'd hurt him, but he was running around and putting weight on it soon after, so I wasn't massively concerned. And of course, I've started up another doily.
After lunch, it was time to go to the vet. We weren't going to try to take Henrietta, seeing as I can't touch her and Mommy is only vaguely tolerated. Packed the two kittens into a carrier and off we went. They were more stressed by the experience than I expected, not even wanting treats when they were on the table. They both are pretty much heavy enough to be neutered, but their balls are too small so we'll leave that a while. Got some decongestant powder for Henrietta and tablets for the kittens so that'll be joyous to try to administer.
Since we got back, I've booked a trip to London. An installation has been put up in Paternoster Square of the names of blood cancer patients to make blood cancer visible as part of blood cancer awareness month. It's only on until the 30th so I've had to book a special trip!
The 5th of September.
I got a message from Adam this morning, telling me to put Victoria Derbyshire on. I assumed there was just going to be a piece about Dean, as I knew she had spoken to him via Twitter. I was beautifully surprised to see Adam, Drew (Dean's brother) and Josh (Dean's friend and the co-founder of HISKIND) sitting on the sofa, ready to tell the viewing population about him. And they were so brilliant. Adam spoke so movingly, and was able to not fall apart. And people sent in really lovely comments about him - even in a short segment, it was obvious what an incredible guy he was. He will be loved forever.
This afternoon, I've been crocheting and catching up on Nashville. Also we tried giving the kittens the worming tablets which didn't really work, so we smushed them up and put them in their food, and put the decongestant powder in Henrietta's, which she gobbled up. Hopefully she'll start breathing a bit more quietly. Bless her.
Haematology clinic in the morning. Good. I need more eye drops. My left eye has been bad for a week, and doing the dexamethasone drops twice a day isn't enough. Back up to three, need more drops.
