The 31st & 1st; My back can get in the bin.
The 31st of May. I don't think Dolly is going to be anybody's friend. I'm doing my best, but I don't know.
This morning, I had a phone call with Gaby from Anthony Nolan to talk about Young Ambassador-ing. Or it might now become just Ambassador-ing. I hope not immediately, or I'll have to get more business cards and I've only just got the last lot! Anyway, I basically said I'd like more things to do, and I told her about Jeremy volunteering now too, and it turns out she did his interview! And I am to wait an invitation to the APPG Summer Reception at Parliament. Let's hope the weather is good again.
After lunch, I have been doing some crochet and some cat-bribery. I finished one sleeve of the new cardigan while watching The Blacklist (phew!), and I took a lot of pictures of the jumper that I made most recently and have finally worn. Then I watched the season finale of iZombie (v. dramatic) and I tried to give Dolly some treats while stroking her, but the kittens were not being helpful. She tolerates my petting and occasionally acts like she likes it when I get round her ear, but maybe she's just pretending for more treats. She isn't really affectionate to the kittens which is what makes me think she'll never love a person. Maybe she just wants somewhere to live.
The 1st of June.
My back can get in the bin. Fucking pain.
This morning, I put up a blog post that I meant to do yesterday, then I sewed up the seams of the sleeves of my cardigan. Then I gave the kittens a quick squidge (they were sleepy and didn't really want to play) before going upstairs to get dressed for the gym and listen to the new Flatshare Slamdown.
This afternoon I went to the gym, taking my sunglasses and my umbrella because who knows what the fuck the weather's going to do? It seems sunshine also keeps the youths away because it was pleasantly quiet again! I was having a pretty good session, but I had to cut it short on my penultimate machine because my back was horrific. I am seriously considering cannabis oil. I have heard only good things about it, and I've got nothing else left to try. I should get a call from the pain team around the 18th to talk about the steroid injections, and as they haven't worked, I don't know if they'll offer me some more or not. It would probably be sensible to wait until after that before I start taking anything else. Sigh.
