Day 43 - Baggy's body clock seems to have turned upside down.

Despite Creative Clara's best intentions last night, Baggy did not wrap one Christmas present! It is not beginning to look a bit like Christmas at all. Well not in Baggy's house anyway. Not one bauble is up. Not one bit of tinsel is glittering. Not one fairy is out and about. The only sign of Christmas is a couple of presents on the dresser and a few of Minty Mutt's toys from previous Christmases. This might have to be rectified now that The Domestic Goddess has made the house look quite pleasant for once. It's Christmas in three days time. It just doesn't feel like it. Clever Bird realises that this is partly because of the weather, which is more like a slightly dodgy spring than winter. But it's more about the previous few months of stress and surgery meaning that it feels as though Baggy's "lost" a few months somewhere. Clever Bird thinks that it should be September. Nothing's been quite right since then. The gang have been a bit without purpose.

Even Baggy's sleep patterns have got a tad muddled. Grotty Groom normally has Baggy so worn out that she's lucky if she hasn't gone to bed by 9.00pm. Now, partly because silly Hormonal Hannah and Freda Fretter are more worried at night than during the day (particularly last night, which was Baggy's first night totally on her own since her Lawrence-the-durmoid-cyst surgery seven weeks ago), she's going to bed after midnight. Trouble is she then doesn't wake up until 11.00am. Yes, okay bloggees, you are quite right she wasn't totally on her own. It's impossible to be alone with furries, that's one of the joys of them. Furry Mama had Bracket kat on her bed all night and Hinge cat on her bed from 8.00am when she'd decided it was time she was cuddled and fed. Pity she launched onto the bed and landed on Baggy's arm wound. Ah well, Furry Mama loves them. Minty Mutt stayed downstairs on his new little hippy rugs snoring his head off, so you're right Baggy was not alone. Freda Fretter is not sure how this would have helped had Baggy got in any trouble, but still.

Creative Clara did have a good excuse for a late night last night though. She suddenly noticed that she had a personal message on her Twitter account, asking if she would consider writing a series for an American website. Her blog must have caught the owner's eye. Clara was very excited. Hormonal Hannah on the other hand went into a mini panic meltdown. Surely Clara's not good enough to warrant anyone paying to read her ramblings about Baggy's life. Surely not. Even if it isn't actually a lot of money. No she can't be good enough. Oooooooo, but it would be lovely if she was. And if she got a following. And if it earned her a bit of money. Maybe even enough for Grotty to buy the Boys some treats. Or, or, or, or. "Shut up Hannah, you are seriously knocking the gang's confidence". Clever Bird knows that not only can Clara do it (she already is with this blog), but she is going to do it. Exciting!

Her confidence about making this decision was added to this morning, when she noticed that yet another "country" has been added to Baggy Body's blog's "viewers". Welcome Malaysia.........
