There are storms over Jannie again tonight and M Kaz is awake and keeping me company. I wonder if they scare her too. I like sleeping on her desk in the office when there are storms about – probably because it’s the furtherest away from the lightning and the thunder – and there’s certainly been a lot of both of those tonight. I’m surprised she’s awake because she went to bed a couple of hours ago – just after 8pm. Yes, she’s being a bit woozy because she hasn’t been totally well. That’s how loud it’s been with the storm – it woke her up and while she was up having her lemonade ice block (for her throat) she called because she knew I would be scared. She’s having a cup of tea now that the storm is passing and I’ll just finish dictating this post so we can both go back to bed. Luckily M Sooz hasn’t seemed to catch whatever it is that M Kaz has. People need to take a lot of things when they’re not feeling well. M Kaz is still taking her cold and flu tablets, the throat spray, anti-dripping tablets (ewwwww) and handsful of tissues travel with her – especially when she goes out. I don’t think they were just for her cold today though when heaps and heaps of tissues went with them when they went to see ‘Wicked: For Good’ with Aunty A at the cinema. M Kaz watched the first ‘Wicked’ here the other night and there were certainly some tears throughout. I hadn’t seen it before so it was quite a surprise to see green people on the television screen again (it’s a while since we watched ‘Shrek’) – and from what I saw it should have been all the other people in the film who were green (with envy over Elphaba’s powers). I’m not saying I could hear the crying from here while they were out but M Kaz certainly looked like she’d been crying when they arrived home (but don’t tell her I told everybody).
The other problem with the storms is that they seem to be coming from totally different directions these days and they’re encroaching more and more into the Outback. If M Kaz has to move my litter tray any more away from the sides of the Outback area, it’s going to be back inside. Wouldn’t that be good!
And before anyone asks – no, those shelves aren’t out of the box yet – but M Kaz has been sick!
