The 29th & 30th; She cannot expose me to more radiation.
The 29th of June. Last night it still took a while to fall asleep, but I didn't wake up and need to drink a lot of water so that's a plus. Still getting light-headed every time I have a big cough though; I have to force a pause to stop myself going too far. I need to make an appearance on Hallfield Day on Saturday, and right now I think it might be quite brief.
This morning we had a fun job of looking through the litter tray to check what the kittens' poos were like, because last night, one of them was upsetting. I spoke to Shaki to discuss handover, and I'm going to meet her at the vet on Friday afternoon so they can have their first jabs and go home with her. I don't have a carrier big enough for all five but apparently one will be dropped off for us.
This afternoon, I went upstairs to try to sort out some stuff to take with me on holiday. We're going to Weymouth and I find it impossible to choose clothing because a) I like to have options and b) it's Britain so who knows what the weather will do? I procrastinated by updating my iPod and finding powerpacks and camera batteries to charge. I listened to the second heat of the BBC Radio New Comedy Award which Nish hosted, and I really enjoyed everyone unlike the first heat. I wanted Olga Kokh to win, but she came runner up to Michael Odewale. I liked him too though, so I wasn't as irritated as I might have been. I really ought to keep note of all the people I enjoy.
The 30th of June.
When people who aren't used to it hear me coughing, they must think I have TB or something equally disastrous. I was at the chiro this morning and I couldn't suppress the cough for that long, so I was offered water and then gin if that would help. Trine had a fair few things to work on, what with me having been doing this for a good three weeks now. She asked about my x-ray and I explained about the lack of reporting. I knew she could do one, they have the equipment, but unless the hospital say they've lost the original, she cannot expose me to more radiation. I have liver clinic relatively soon, and I think James will try to sort something out for me because he is a top fellow. We also had a chat about the referendum, as she is from Norway, so she couldn't vote, but is married to a Brit and has been here for years. She despairs as much as I do.
Speaking of which - Boris! Or no Boris, as it happens. This is really all going a bit too far now. Gove pitching in is bizarre too, the man who has previously said he has absolutely no interest in being the leader, doesn't have the capacity, but suddenly he's realised that actually, Boris is a nincompoop who you wouldn't trust to run a bath, let alone the country, not to mention a coward and a liar. Let's not even discuss Labour.
