Day Eighteen

With ANOTHER late start this morning (this one even later than yesterday), I had my brunch. After that, we headed into Ashburton to shop around for miscellaneous goods, and I got some chips as an after-brunch snack. Not from the special G.F. fish-n-chip shop, but the chips--at least I hope so--were G.F.

I went with my Nanna to pick up Jess today, and we went home with her after that. We waited for Frances to pick up her and me to go to Vikki's house. Jessica went to see her friend, Isla, who is Vikki's mom... but I went to go see their kitten, Bubble! That cat... that kitten was the absolute softest, melt-iest cat I have ever, EVER held. It just was designed for cuddling. And after a while, it would start to nibble your fingers and lightly scratch your hand... ohmygoodnessgracious it was so cute! I want him. I NEED HIM.

Well I didn't feel very well tonight, so I didn't eat much of tonight's tea. But, we had liver casserole, new potatoes, mashed potatoes, and veg. And then I ate ice cream for dessert. Yes... strangely, I felt well when the ice cream was brought out... Hmm....

Many things lately have tested my patience. I know I should keep calm and carry on and not worry about it, but I am one of those people that worry about absolutely everything (although I have been getting better about it). I can be what people call a "worry-wart." It really SUCKS to be like this. If you feel like you are the same, try to relax a little bit. I know how badly you feel like you need to know everything all the time and make sure that that person didn't message you back two minutes ago or if you forgot to pack an extra carrot in your lunch this morning or if you unplugged your phone charger before you left the house.... RELAX, S'IL VOUS PLAÎT*!!! Really! It's okay! You're going to be fine. If things aren't perfect, that is completely alright. Not everything can be perfect, and NO ONE can be perfect. We're human and we must try to live like we are. And if that includes making mistakes, then so be it.
