Catstiptoes's Journal

I'm so Tired!! Kiki has a terrible cold. She's coughing til she goes red-faced, and she's running her nose like a faucet, and she's being very brave but has low tolerance for bumps and boredom. She's chewing on two safe magnets I gave her off the fridge. Sigh. SHe's having trouble drinking from me cuz her nose is so blocked. She's drinking better out of her sipper cup. We're giving her lots of juices. Her favourite is apple strawberry and kiwi fruit nectar. I don't blame her! :0P

Elizabeth's funeral is on Thursday. If it's early enough in the day I'll be able to go, otherwise maybe not. Greg starts work at 6PM and it takes minimum of two hours to drive back here from Melbourne where her funeral will be. I'm hoping it will be in the morning. I'm feeling sad in waves now about her having died. I expected it, and I got to say goodbye. I'm sure that will help. Is helping. It feels a bit unreal that she's GONE. I knew she was dying for a while, but she was always still there. It feels surreal now.

I feel rEally flat. I want to sleep, like I'm in shock, but Kiki needs me so I can't. I managed a shower today in her one nap of about 20 minutes. That was a lucky stroke.

Greg has a sore throat. We're out of Panadol for us, we just have baby Panadol now. I don't drive, so if Gregie can't get more, we won't have any.

Scoot, Greg's cat, was shivering for ages this morning. I'm wondering if he's well. I'm keeping him inside and warm today.

I've got a blocked nose.
