The 11th of January. It's been a much less productive day. Since the spinal injection, I wake up with a kind of pressure headache and am fairly useless. Dr. Allan warned me about "post-spinal headaches" and I think I have a very mild form of that. It can be so bad that people can't get out of bed, and I don't feel quite that bad. Just start off the day feeling quite shit but it wears off by lunchtime.

So, quiet morning, wrote up a blog post, little bit of crochet. Mommy went to hospital to see Grandma who is doing better, on much less oxygen, but will be in for several days.

She came back for lunch, and we gave my hair a wash before going to pick up the kittens after their spaying and chipping. They were all very quiet on the journey home and fell upon the food like they'd never eaten before. I stayed and sat with them for the rest of the afternoon and watched the last three episodes of Big Little Lies. I can see why it won all the Golden Globes! Really bloody good.

The 12th of January.

The headache was not so bad this morning - hopefully in a few days they will have abated.

This morning, after breakfast and some time for the headache to pass, I started on a blog post I'm writing for Anthony Nolan that will be used to formulate a press release for Still Standing. I've found that I cannot write if I am distracted by any noise, even music, now. I can't compose my thoughts into sentences if there is noise.

This afternoon, I took a break, and did some crochet of another bear while watching some Bones. Then a lady and her daughter were coming to see the kittens with a view to adopting them, and it went really well. To begin with, Amber and Ava hid under my chair, but they eventually emerged and by the time they left, all three had allowed themselves to be petted and did some purring.

It's a yes, and they're coming back next Friday to pick them up. I'm glad I have another week with them; I love them so much!
