Saying "No" to type-2 diabetes.

The temperature in the East Midlands has finally cooled down. It's a relief for me because heat gives me terrible headaches and a rash after I've exposed myself in the sun. Right now, it's simply perfect (then again: to my opinion) and I can enjoy walks outside as well as to stop finding myself excuses not to go running in the morning, like I had set myself to do!

I have also brought myself to start a healthy diet. Nothing too demanding since I love food so dearly; just no cakes, biscuits and ice cream several times a day! And lots of fruit and veg, too. Aah! Gonna have to stick to these rules! No Oreos or other chocolate biscuits and spreads for a while, to see if this improves the way I feel inside my (very flabby) body!

Meanwhile, I got contacted by two work places for some volunteering which is very cool and got me a great deal excited last night. Finally going to have something to do with all these idle days! That would be extremely funky. I just hope I'll appear good enough to get something! We'll see.

Marmite doesn't come visit us as often as she used to. It's sad. I wonder if she's found a better canteen somewhere else in the neighbourhood. I know the last bag of dry cat food I bought from Wilko's was seriously not a hit amongst the nearby moggies but still, it's no reason to be unfaithful like that. My ungrateful little babies! Why can't you be good to me? (I am also talking about a man here.)

My birthday's approaching and I still haven't sent any invitations to anyone for anything. I am a well-organised person. (As stated on my CV.) Oh, thinking of what, I've just remembered I need to make an appointment with a dentist for this bad gum recession of mine! I just hope a gum graft isn't too expensive around here... Garh!

Do I really want to hurt myself?

Est-ce que cela vous est deja arrivé d'etre si malheureux que vous ne pouviez pas vous empecher de gemir de douleur en pleurant?

Hello nobody!

I am going to write a short note whilst my nail varnish is drying out (glamorous). This morning, I am procrastinating on the Internet reading interviews of Paloma Faith - my new inspiration - and eating hazelnut spread (jar almost empty!). My mum rang me this morning and was very disappointed with that agency "PATRA" which had told me last week that they had found me an admin job when in fact, they had not. I was more sad because of her tone of voice than because I had actually lost the position somehow. I am going to carry on applying for vacancies, though and hopefully, something nice will come up soon!

So this is what I am going to fill my day with today. I also need to do some grocery shopping because I am running out of milk (very important) as well as plain yoghurt and fizzy drinks, to help me get more fluid otherwise I can live for a camel for days but that's not very good for my kidneys.
I have just applied some really nice nail polish, as stated before. Here it is, it's a lovely pastel shade ironically called "minted" although I am perpetually broke myself.

I am also very excited because David (my tom-cat) asked for my postal address this morning so that the postman could deliver my birthday present to my very door in about two weeks now, and it is a very fine birthday present I am going to be offered indeed! A beautiful Lomo camera, all bright colours and promises of lovely photos. I can't wait! And of course, I will post a picture of it as soon as I receive it, so thank you, thank you so much, my sweetheart David. This is probably going to be the best present I'll ever be given!!

Now, there is another crumble waiting to be prepared. Last week, I bought two bags of fruits, apples and pears and they need to be cooked if I don't want to witness them wasting away which I would hate to do, of course, since I hate having to throw food away.

And before I go, here's my brand new Youtube account which is called the kittenneries channel and with which from now on you can watch over and over again lots of videos of kitties farting, eating peanut butter, arguing over a parking place, etc, etc... How on Earth have you managed to live without it for so long? I do not know!
