As predicted, Cazzy did not sleep through the night, instead she screamed her head off. In the end I took her in bed with me which calmed her a little. I put one of her tapes on which settled her slightly, and then read to her for a few hours, which finally sent her off to sleep. I think I got about 4 hours sleep last night, I was exhausted when morning finally rolled round!
When I got up in the morning Cazzy was looking much better but I felt terrible. My head was killing and my back was aching, along with other things which all combined together to make me feel like complete rubbish. No wonder Cazzy was laid smiling at me with her sparkly eyes when I woke up, she passed the darn thing onto me!
I stayed in bed most of today, boiling hot despite the goose bumps on my skin, and my mom finally declared that I had got whatever it was that Cazzy had late afternoon, as though I hadn't figured it out for myself by then! I slept through most of the day as I was still tired from staying up with Caz all night, and Terri rang me in the afternoon to talk, although talking was the last think I felt like doing!
She asked if I wanted to go shopping or something and I apologised saying that I couldn't, as I felt too ill to go anywhere. She was cool about it, really nice actually, asking if I wanted her to come around to keep me company or something. I thanked her for the offer but explained that the house was full and how I was looking after Cazzy too. She didn't seem put off my turning her down, she just told me she hoped I got better, and she would call tomorrow to see how I felt. I didn't exactly lie to her, just stretched the truth a little. I just don't want her coming around just yet, she will only be scared away!
Still, as I said, it wasn't a full lie, as Cazzy repaid me for my time spent with her last night by spending the day on top of my covers watching My Little Pony reruns all day. Whenever mom tried to take her downstairs out of our room she would cry until she put her back on my bed! She ended up spending the entire day there, only leaving when mom bathed her, much to Carols displeasure. Although she did annoy me most of the day sat 'talking' to herself, as she can't yet talk, so all she was doing was making nonsensical noise, but at times I did find her will to stay with me quite cute too.
I am now feeling slightly better so I am hoping that I can take Terri to the mall tomorrow, I don't want her to think that I am just saying this to get out of meeting her. As for Barns, well, I am sure he will understand when I see him on Monday.
Jack.
