Documenting not dying since October 2013.

The 29th & 30th; I'm having less coughing fits that leave me feeling like I'm going to die, so that's always good.

The 29th of October.  Man, I should be on only 3mg of pred by now, but I'm still on 10 which is shit. 

I had a reasonable sleep and didn't really wake up until half nine! I was really slow getting up though - it took me over an hour to get downstairs. 

Mommy and I went into Sutton to buy soup and poppy seeds, and in Waitrose (on a random hunt for buckwheat and spelt  which was unsuccessful) I found not only salted pretzels, but also cronuts! I got a lemon one and it was yummy. 

This afternoon Mommy went to Grandma's and I crocheted and watched tv. I've also been communicating with Lucie Cave and it looks like we have a date for me to visit heat! Which also means we can do Duck and Waffle breakfast so that's excellent. 

We were going to make bialys today from the New York book but there wasn't time so we'll do them tomorrow, which is probably just as well as I've eaten enough already today to cause me breathing difficulties. 

The 30th of October. 

I feel okay today. I'm having less coughing fits that leave me feeling like I'm going to die, so that's always good. 

Mommy and I made poppy-seed bialys today, but they did not really come out like the picture. They tasted good though! Especially warm from the oven. 

Becky and James came round for a bit and we watched some of Catching Fire on Netflix. They'd just been to sort out their marriage license, then either Becky was going to make fudge with Jonathan or James was going to take him for a haircut. I don't know which happened. 

I was getting nostalgic about the premiere and now I really want to go to the Mockingjay one! It was so much fun, one of the best nights of my life, and I'd love to repeat it (but with maybe less rain). It would be really nice to see Nat Dormer again and thank her for looking out for me last time. I did tweet Lionsgate but the premiere is on the 10th so there's probably not time to squeeze me in. Sigh.
