Day 21 of 100, Tuesday, 13th November


Yeah, I got side-tracked and went to bed a bit later than planned. Woke up early enough, though without the energy to get up. Mewthos came mew-mew-mewling like a siren into the bedroom, then curled up by my legs! What a goofball!

I got up just in time to give our gardener his breakfast – he arrived early. Bit of an issue with the game: New Adventure starts Thursday and nobody’s taking responsibility … I can’t, it just takes too much time. But I ended up having to write a lot of ‘preparation’ mails. The problem is that too many people assume that games are a mindless activity – they just don’t think! When they apply that only to their own city – only they loose, but when it’s about a fellowship activity? Everybody looses! That’s where leadership comes in … Well, I’ve done what I can. I can not do everything, especially not now! I’ll pick up the pieces and see what I can do – AFTER the move!

I’ve had some cereal for breakfast and now it’s time to pack some more boxes. A fifth of the time is past, so I should make sure that a fifth of the packing is done, as well.

For some reason my kitchen window is buzzing with flies! So I sprayed some Doom – not something I like doing, but I can’t have them in the kitchen. There’s nothing there that should attract flies, so I don’t know what the problem is. I cleaned out the dead flies, washed every drop of poison of the window and the sill, and then threw away the cloth I used. Can’t have mippies get to any of it – they are so curious!

I’m feeling rather awful now, in quite a lot of pain. Cramps. I fear it might be the milk – nothing wrong with IT, but for some reason I seem to have off days when I can’t drink milk! Yup, it’s the milk! Just took a sip and the cramps went off the charts! Why oh, Why? I love milk! I do not, however, love the agony I’m now going through. This is really awful! I can sit still, be okay, then a wave of pain comes over me. The same if I lie down. I’m taking my tissue salts, but this is one pain they seem unable to relieve. My body, meanwhile, is draining all energy to dull the pain.

Two hours later the pain is finally gone and I’m as weak as a new-born kitten. And as hungry, too! Not a good combination for cooking, though. So I just cut up some of the potatoes, the rest of the meat, whisked two eggs with some milk, and fried everything in lots of butter, pouring the egg over the fried mix. It’s not Cordon Bleu, but quick and easy, yet tasty.

Romeo was hanging around again – yeah, he knows it’s munchie time! So I brushed him a bit then let him roll in catnip on the mat outside. I gave him another of those chicken-in-gravy sachets none of mine really eat, called mine in, and shut him out. He’s out there, crying, now … this is NOT easy. Poor darling Romeo – I so wish I could help him!

At least I was able to pack a few boxes before I got those cramps! Now I am so tired, I think I’ll sleep without too much tossing and turning!
