The 16th & 17th; Bloody lung disease.

The 16th of October.  Definitely going to be a short one. I was woken up by Daddy shouting "MORNING KATHRYN!" as he and Mommy returned from taking the car for its MOT and service. Thrilled about that. 

This morning I wrote up a blog post, and while I was doing that, the postman delivered my wool for Luna's presents, and since then, I have been going cross-eyed crocheting. I have made one thing, then I started on another pair of mittens for myself using a new pattern. However, in getting going, it was way too complicated and I just got lost. I might try it again one day, but for now, in going to use the wool to make another pair using the pattern I've used before, and try to add in some cabling or something. 

I was doing that until about five o'clock, then my eyes were getting tired. I might pick it up again after tea but for now, I'm going to have a wee rest. 

The 17th of October. 

Getting kittens tomorrow! Only two instead of four now. But I shall explain. This morning I read the paper while awaiting a delivery from ASOS of four pairs of jeans, as I currently only have two pairs that fit me somehow. I'm not quite sure how that's happened. 

They came just after lunch, so I went to try them all on in the back room. I got so out of breath! Just getting in and out of clothes and I needed oxygen, for fuck's sake. Bloody lung disease. I would have been no use at the gym today. I'm keeping one pair. 

Later, Daddy and I went to see Sicario. We were going to watch Crimson Peak, then I decided it would probably give me nightmares so this seemed safer. It was, although I think I expected slightly more ass-kicking from Emily Blunt. It's definitely more education than entertainment. 

During the film, I got a text from Lynn, saying she'd bring the kittens some time after six. However, having just taken my first forkful of dinner, my phone rang. Nelly got homed today, and Noah is going tomorrow, so she thought it would be mean to make him spend the night alone. Which is fine, I don't want to upset any of them. And I think it's less stressful for us too. So all is good!
