I blame the weather, but she says it\u2018s more likely to be down to her hand not repairing correctly from her operation, the fact she can no longer eat most of the things normal people eat and that she seems to be becoming increasingly allergic to everything and of course Megan not being pregnant. It was far easier to blame the weather, it was more likely that we could just wake up one day and it would all be better again. No one seems to have the answers on the eating problems. There must be other people in the world who are having the same problems with chemicals, she just doesn\u2019t know any of them. As for her hand, she\u2019s starting to think it may never be right again and that takes some adjusting to. Anyway, all that boils down to us needing to find some ways to cheer her up and it isn\u2019t going very well. She ordered a new jacket to replace the one that Megan\u2019s blood from her ear won\u2019t come out of, only to find that they\u2019ve changed the material they are made of to one she cannot stand the feel of. She hit on the idea of driving to the outlet village where they sell last season\u2019s ones so she could get one in the same material, but having done a 40 mile round trip they didn\u2019t have any either. I don\u2019t know what else to suggest. Comfort eating loses something in translation when you have to make it yourself and it isn\u2019t anything very bad for you anyway. Anyway, ideas would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Nothing major has gone wrong you understand, but there seem to have been a hundred and one little and not so little things that haven\u2019t <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2013\/04\/30\/tuesday-30th-april-2013-cheering-up-required\/\" title=\"Tuesday 30th April 2013 &#8211; Cheering up required\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
