Ramblin on a bit.

Still no new batteries (shopping today) so no yarn pics yet.

Life is rollin on and juddering a bit at the mo.

J is still spotty and they are starting to scab over, but last night, he must of ate a dodgy piece of Scampi or something cos he was sooooooo sick, poor little blighter. I've not been at him to 'do' stuff whilst he's ill and today I've told him to get plenty of fluids and to take it easy....not a normal concept in the 'J Book of Life'.

Lottie goes for her spaying op on Monday. I know it needs to be done, but I always hate taking a healthy animal in for anything major-ish. She will also be micro-chipped at the same time - very little change out of £200! She's worth it and so is our peace of mind....no puppies thank you very much.

As for the rest of the beasties, Conkers has the sneezles - one of the other cats used to get allergies in warmer weather and I think Conkers may have the same problem - he's fine, healthy etc - just sneezing. He's off the the vets for his annual boosters tomorrow so I'll get the vet just to check him over too. Loobles has bad wind - but for that's totally normal. Colemans (tarantula) who is male and aging rapidly has broken a leg - there is nothing we can do and he's still clambering about OK.

I have raging PMT. I am a little down in the dumps. My OCD is bad, my agoraphobia is better than it's been in quite a while but as we start to approach the anniversary of M loosing his Mum (and the estate is STILL NOT settled - useless solicitor) the loss of his Mum is quite a strong feeling, maybe stronger now for me then when she actually died. It's way she died and what we've discovered consequently about her health and what she hid from us all, that's frying my noodle a tad. I know this is normal and will pass - been through it (sadly) so many times, but today I have the miseries - so thought I depress anyone else who is reading this.....does anyone read this? Good question!

I also hate Fathers Day......it's not easy for either of us, J always makes M's day special but tis always tinged with a little wistful sadness. M is off to a guitar show with his mates in London so hopefully that will fill him full to the brim with jollification. I may go to the local KIP - don't know - I am not the best company right now....I'll see how I feel on the day.

Right now the laundry calls to me ......"come and put us on the line.....it's windy.... we will dry ... and make a lovely fresh smell when you iron us!"
