The 7th of January. It took me an hour and a half to get to sleep last night because I just couldn't stop burping. Things have been better today, I think from a combination of eating less (I've been consciously not picking at bags of sweets) and having Deflatine earlier in the day.
After I finally got to sleep, I had some of decent quality but not as good as the previous night. This morning we watched the Grillo sisters' interview, then we went into town. Started at M&S to find a handbag for Grandma, failed, went to Boots to try and print a photo, failed, went to Pandora to try for the family charm, failed, went to BHS (shudder) where we successfully got a bag for Grandma, then we went to Waterstones to get a book rest, had success there, then had more failure at Pandora, and came home.
This afternoon I blogged and read Doctor Sleep. The DWP have sent me a questionnaire about particular benefits, none of which I'm on so am confused as to why I've received it.
This evening, I had a white hot chocolate in my Dress Up Boo mug, and Becky came round for tea and chat.
Tonight is The Taste, then bed. I think I can stay awake until then.
The 8th of January.
Better sleep last night; no burping.
This morning I had several jobs to do; I rang the DWP to find out why I'd been sent this questionnaire, and it turns out I do have to fill it in as it's time for me to be reassessed - yeah well now I'm terminal, how's that? I emailed Close Brothers about my asset management, and let ASOS know that I'd had confirmation of return of all the rejected Christmas dresses because they were late. I filled in a form for Nationwide, and I bought anniversary cards for my parents from me and Grandma, and painted my nails with the purple YSL polish I was given by the Elle girls.
This afternoon, I frosted some cupcakes and then went with Mommy to Grandma's to help her carry them and the birthday cake for tomorrow. We went into M&S on the way back to buy an orchid and some foodstuffs. I walked around as I have not been very active of late.
I wanted to start Hadley Freeman's book today (I finished Doctor Sleep yesterday and it's super super good) but my brain wouldn't focus on it. I'll have plenty of time for it tomorrow though at photopheresis.
