Day 407: Capped

my head

Shower cap! I've never used one before. I tried it this morning. An actual shower cap out of a little foldy box. I put it on my head and entertained myself by standing properly under the shower. Result: dry hair! It's a small step for mankind and a huge one for me. And on top of it all, it also shows that I am taking showers, which is progress.

I spent much of today sitting alone in a room waiting to go into another room. I meditated quite a lot. I sat so still that the automatic sensor lights went out. When they came back on again (when I clicked out my crunchy neck, the first time) there was a noise like a wind chime that really gave me glee. I spent quite a lot of the next hour making it happen again.

I never made it into the second room. There were hiccups (figurative, not real, despite a baked potato at lunch time). The upshot is, I'm staying in Bradford for another two nights. If I'm lucky, I'll make it into the room on Thursday morning. Fingers crossed. 

How nice is Ellie, the lady who's looking after the case in Bradford! She is warm and friendly, laughy and smooth-skinned (looks much younger than she is). It could have been a stressful day, but the fact that she was always so very nice certainly made it easier. She does important work, that woman. She told me all about it and I was impressed. 

Beectoreea am Creesteeam getteem the marreeee, jis!

Oh, and today, on the other side of the world, this happened: my beloved friend and co-twat, Victoria Sandison proposed to her wonderful man, Cristian Muscatello. They're getting married, innit! Well done, you brilliant creatures. Please can I come and watch, please, when you do? 

shower cap supreme

Lovely emails from very pleasing people, pancakes for breakfast (they weren't actually very nice, but you know, they were pancakes, cooked for me by a chef - that's great) and fabulous texts and calls. These were good. 

surprise!

And my evening headstand today? Hilarious! I stayed up for so much longer than I expected that I got all surprised and fell over... had a proper little roll and lay on the floor laughing. Tomorrow, perpendicular knees, please. Thank you.
