2:17 am

sprite

welcome home, dear friend. *hugs* How are you doing? And how is Don's head?

2:18 am

grannyrose

still a little floaty. trying to flush the ketamine out.

2:18 am

sprite

it is great stuff, but not pleasant

2:18 am

grannyrose

Don is good. appears he may have a trapped nerve in his lower back. area of numbness, then hot, stinging pain.

2:19 am

sprite

ah, right. That might even trigger the migraines

2:19 am

grannyrose

in his thigh..

2:20 am

grannyrose

it's weird. if he is active, walking around, nothing. when he sits down, wham !!

2:20 am

sprite

that suggests an easy solution :D

2:21 am

grannyrose

i know, but will he buy it?? that is the question.

2:21 am

sprite

lol

2:21 am

sprite

we can easily think up some things to do while staying active... just to help him take his mind off things...

2:24 am

grannyrose

at least he has nearly finished that plumbing job on his workshop gutters and drains. at the moment all the water has been diverted. just needs to connect to underground stormwater drain.

2:24 am

sprite

your neighbour is going to hate herself once her plants start to die from thirst

2:25 am

grannyrose

it has been very windy here in Melbourne. I told him to lay off the burritos, but would he listen? uh uh, no. now we have tree damage to clear up.

2:26 am

sprite

lolol

2:26 am

grannyrose

eh, she asked, Don has complied.

2:26 am

sprite

if only they all listened to us..

2:27 am

grannyrose

and around we go... lol... ring a ring a rosie...

2:28 am

sprite

laugh to laugh with you. It is a sad day.

2:28 am

grannyrose

anything new over there?

2:29 am

sprite

saying goodbye to Brigitte today

2:29 am

grannyrose

i haven't watched the TV all week. did i miss anything?

2:29 am

sprite

I never watch tv darlin

2:29 am

grannyrose

oh yes. oh my. my heart is with you darling.

2:30 am

grannyrose

is the weather as bad as they predicted?

2:31 am

sprite

so far it is holding. Also, the road blockages are less than expected. We decided to let Nero stay with Caya, he went yesterday so we can go straight to Bilthoven. I made sandwiches and we will take water as well, and of course medication. We will be okay.

2:32 am

grannyrose

what time is the service again? your time?

2:33 am

sprite

13.30 or 12.30PM

2:33 am

grannyrose

ahhh a few hours yet. are you leaving soon?

2:34 am

sprite

yes, after babble and coffee. Better take our time, be early, than stressing about missing it.

2:35 am

grannyrose

absolutely. find a nice spot to park, rest, and regroup the energy.

2:35 am

sprite

exactly. It will be okay. Also decided not to cook tonight, we will order in.

2:36 am

grannyrose

also a good idea.

2:37 am

sprite

once I get upstairs myself, I am gonna have me a few select words with the Big Guy. He takes the good people too early and the bad ones too late. I mean, come on, it is NOT rocket science.

2:37 am

grannyrose

I never ask after Tim and Lisa. very remiss of me. please tell them i think of them a lot.

2:38 am

sprite

they bought their house yesterday. Signed the contract and the morgage and a living together contract and all. I guess my lil boy is all growed up now :)

2:39 am

grannyrose

oh my ! proud adoptive granny tears here.

2:40 am

2:46 am

Kamanjah

That's good news!

2:46 am

sprite

having you in a much better condition might be the reason, rose. It can do so much more good now.

2:48 am

grannyrose

i guess so Sprite. the nurses kept saying how inspiring i was. wasn't game to ask exactly what i was inspiring... most likely the giggles watching this fat tub waddle up and down the corridors..

2:48 am

sprite

now you are fishing :P

2:49 am

grannyrose

yup. * checks the hook * worm gone, no catch.

2:49 am

sprite

*grins* Love ya

2:51 am

grannyrose

which reminds me. must remember to contact exercise physiologist. no gym for me Tuesday. very lovely wife of a minister friend passed last weekend. funeral at our church. as you say, He keeps taking the good ones, and leaves the baddies.

2:52 am

sprite

let's gang up on Him some day

2:52 am

grannyrose

* giggle * i'm in. Kam? what about you?

2:53 am

Kamanjah

Sure, why not?

2:54 am

grannyrose

bet you have a few things to tell The Big Guy.

2:57 am

sprite

fireflies. Lovely grid.

2:57 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !! totally agree.

2:57 am

Kamanjah

It won't bring Michael back. I needed him this week. There was a badly injured deer who needed to be euthed. My wonderful neighbor handled it, but it made me miss Michael so much more than I have in a long time.

2:58 am

sprite

time for me to get ready. Love and hugs, my friends.
Kam, yes, at such times you feel it so deeply... *hugs* darling.

2:58 am

grannyrose

oh Kam. so sorry to see that. He was such a lovely man.

2:58 am

Kamanjah
