The 28th & 29th; Still coughing.

The 28th of October.  It has not been a great day. I definitely have Mommy's cough so I just keep drinking which is the only thing that helps. It's just a stupid tickly one, which is fine, I can cope with that. 

Came downstairs to find one or both of the kittens had thrown up and there was a poo on the chair, and they hadn't really touched their food from last night. I rang Jen, and she said to starve then until about four o'clock, just give them water. We cleaned everything, and Jen actually came to see them this afternoon. She checked them for dehydration and was satisfied that they were okay. We feed them and they ate it, and I'll feed them again this evening. 

For the rest of the day, they've been behaving completely normally, sitting on my lap and sleeping while I watched Dexter. We were having a lovely time until someone nearby decided it would be a good idea to set off some fireworks which scared the shit out of both sleeping kittens and resulted in Neve's claw making a deep gouge in my arm which is currently seeping through the dressing. 

Fuck knows what we'll do if we've still got them on Bonfire Night. 

The 29th of October. 

Still coughing, still constantly drinking water. I painted my nails this morning so stayed away from the kittens until after lunch because last time I did it, the smell freaked them out. 

This afternoon, I was watching Harry Potter with the kittens when I had a phone call from Sheila. A couple had been having a home visit this morning in regards to possibly adopting Neve. That had all gone fine, and they wondered if they could come and actually view them both right then, as they might want to have them together. I said that was fine, and an hour or so later, they arrived. They were very nice, younger than I expected but I think that's just because the last couple were older. They loved Neve, thought she was so pretty, and I think they were also quite enchanted by how soft Nick is. They were certainly not averse to having both, and I'm just now waiting to see if they contact Sheila about wanting to arrange an adoption. They don't want to take them until next week if they do, so I have a little more time with them. 

Tonight I'm off to see James Acaster, and I'm just hoping I'm able to control the cough enough so I don't irritate the rest of the audience.
