sprite

hiya rose :) *hugs* It has just started, it is half past 7 am here. Had a bad night so am still in the process of getting all my parts numbered and in order ;) How was your day?

12:40 am

grannyrose

slow day here for me. took my old next door neighbour out so that she could catch up with some of her friends. left me utterly drained.

12:40 am

sprite

a good deed for sure

12:41 am

grannyrose

i love her to bits, but she is hard work.. fortunately i know and understand her idiosyncrasies. that helps. how's Rob doing in retirement?

12:42 am

sprite

busy as a little bee :D

12:43 am

grannyrose

* giggle * i know, you get tired just watching him...loll

12:43 am

sprite

he does need to pace himself, he feels better when he has a little nap in the afternoon. But he is learning.

12:43 am

grannyrose

are you still working on the phones, counseling?

12:44 am

sprite

yes, still doing that

12:44 am

sprite

phantom: debutant

12:45 am

12:45 am

sprite

I am going slow, works like a charm

12:47 am

grannyrose

i've managed to have a shower, get dressed, do 2 small loads of washing, hand washed a knitted jumper, folded and sorted the clean laundry... still haven't been on the pedals. i really have to make myself do that.

12:48 am

sprite

sounds like a pretty full schedule!

12:49 am

grannyrose

not really. not with taking the breaks i need. learning to pace myself and still get things done.

12:50 am

sprite

yeah that is what I am doing too. I get much more done nowadays, just because I have learned to pace myself, take brakes, go slow

12:51 am

grannyrose

up-side is i am moving so much more freely than before. you wouldn't recognise me with how much walking i can do.

12:52 am

sprite

am so happy for you.

12:55 am

hokie carla
