The 20th & 21st; Another day, another anniversary.

The 20th of December.  I am now fully prepared for Christmas - all of my wrapping is finished! It's all under the tree except Mommy's Chanel stuff and big box. I need Daddy to bring that downstairs. 

I spent my morning updating the blog and reading the paper, then at lunchtime, Daddy and I went to see The Hobbit. It was suitably enjoyable - Kili is my favourite dwarf. Other favourite character is Galadriel because she is ace. The women in general in this film are all badasses. 

When we came back, I finished my wrapping while I watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium which is one of my favourites. It is full of poignancy and I just adore everything about it. It fills me with warmth and magic and brilliance. It makes me happy to have lived. 

The 21st of December. 

Another day, another anniversary. Today is six years since I was given my liver. It's nearly nine o'clock, and around this time we were getting ready for me to go to theatre. Paolo and Darius scrubbing in before they cut me open, took out an organ (or two - gall bladder goes too) and  put a new one in! Couple of days later, I woke up in PICU, incubated (not my favourite), went to ward 8, then a day or so later, it was Christmas. It feels like another life. 

This morning, I watched Sunday Brunch and put my new charm on my bracelet - it's a letter to Santa. Six years ago, I got everything I could have wanted in another chance. Mommy washed my hair, then I had "posh" (read: Heinz 5 beans) beans on toast and watched Miracle on 34th Street. I feel super festive and I just can't wait for Christmas. Eee!
