Day 627

So it was 2:30am she woke up this morning. We left her screaming for as long as we could before she reached a pitch only dogs can hear and the neighbourhood came alive with the sound of mutts.

She finally gave in, after minimum intervention, save for some milk and a nappy change, and we all were asleep again by 4am.

I slept through my alarm and didn't awaken until 7:30am, which was too late to contemplate walking so I got a lift from Jeff.

Work was hideous today. Really busy with stuff. Friday's shouldn't be too busy. There should be a law. Still, I was fortunate to get out of there at 4pm. Melissa and Penny (who now has reins (I went through five different attempts to spell that word before I settled on that one)) picked me up and then Melissa chucked us inside and went out to see a friend. Penny, I've been informed managed 7 steps, unaided in Matalan. A feat I've yet to see her duplicate, but she did manage 4 steps across the kitchen, so that's progress.

I bathed her at 6pm, fed her at half past and by quarter to 7 she was asleep.

What's that I hear you shouting? "You've worked hard today. You deserve a rest!" Well yes, I have. And I do. But no. I'm currently cooking a full roast dinner with stuffed and roasties and everything. We will eat that soon. Then and only then will I settle down for the evening with beer and Black Ops.

Have a great weekend everyone!
