Day 77 - One more day.

Baggy's stepmother's funeral is tomorrow. Freda Fretter and Hormonal Hannah are being pains. Calum did his "today's" shift last night, so that he wouldn't have the possibility of getting "stuck" away from home tonight. Freda didn't want him to leave yesterday afternoon, hence Baggy's stress and comfort eating. When he did leave, Clever Bird told him to come up and give her a cuddle when he got home, so she would know that he was back. Baggy was so exhausted when she went to bed that she fell asleep instantly and only woke up for a few seconds when the front door opened a couple of hours later. As instructed by Clever Bird, Calum came up to see Baggy before going back downstairs to unwind from driving for a couple of hours. At about 2.30am he came up to bed. Baggy was still awake, with Freda wittering in one ear and Hormonal Hannah sending her back-to-back night sweats, while freaking her out about shadows and noises. Calum was snoring in seconds.

At around 5.00am Baggy finally fell asleep. For an hour. Before she had to get up again. Thanks to yet another night-sweat courtesy of Hannah. Then she was woken again by Cal's alarm at 8.30am. Cal was off out to sort stuff out; including picking up Baggy's dress for the funeral. He woke her up again at 9.00am to say he was off and did Baggy want to come. Errrrr, NO. Baggy woke at 12 noon when Minty Mutt started barking because Calum had arrived home. Well at least that is half a day less to fret Freda! Baggy brushed out her hair, with a view to washing it. BIG job. BIG hair. Then decided that actually Minty Mutt was feeling down. Baggy needed to get Furry Mama dressed and take him out. Because Freda and Hannah have been rather in charge of Baggy, poor Minty Mutt has had only one walk in the last three days. And that wasn't a long one. Even though the weather is mild today, taking Baggy out with soaking wet hair is probably not wise. So, looking like some kind of mad cat-walk model (just the ridiculous BIG hair you understand), Furry Mama took Minty out. Having not walked properly for three days, Baggy and Minty suffered. Baggy's stomach felt as though Lawrence was biting her. Minty needed helping up the steps. Lesson learnt Clever Bird...........
