Getting Better
I’m having a good day today, so far. We were up ’til the early hours last night, what with my partner’s drawing, a belated birthday celebration and some other stuff. She produced another really good sketch with a bit of help from me resizing bits of it on our printer/photocopier and tracing outlines so that all the reproduced crud wasn’t visible - and she was really pleased with it, which is a bonus.
At about midnight, she called me for food and a film. My birthday was Monday, but we celebrated it last night: she’d bought me the DVD of The Dark Knight, which was really nice, but she was disappointed. Apparently, she’d spent ages trying to get one of my favourite films, Shall We Dansu?, but the guys in the store had been horrible to her. I shall be dropping in on them soon to have a few words with the manager and see what can be done about that - no one, but no one mistreats my lady and gets away with it!
She’d also baked me a chocolate and coconut cake, which is absolutely delicious - she doesn’t like cooking, but she’s really very good at desserts. I shall be pigging out on that over the next few days! Today, she’s sleeping off the alcohol even thought it’s her birthday. We’ll probably celebrate that tonight or tomorrow or something.
The cat seems to slowly be getting better and, despite a few attempts to claw my hands off this morning, is in better spirits. She slept most of the day yesterday, which is always a good sign that she’s on the way to recovering.
Add to that the fact that I finally got a response from an old employer with an insurance form I needed, potentially leading to loan cover for over a year of payments, and things are looking up a bit. If they pay out, we should be able to make a nice dent in our rent arrears and still have a little left over.
Apart from all that, I’m just slobbing around today. I wrote another article, watched a film and found this hilarious page of someone going for a job dressed as a Stormtrooper, but have done little else. It’s nice to relax and to have been able to sleep almost normally now that the cat’s calmer.
