evening all. how are we tonight?
1:01 am

morning babblers
1:02 am
grannyrose
and there she is. * hugs * bestie. how are you doing?
1:03 am
sprite
hi darling *hug* We had our annual zentangle teacher's day yesterday. It was wonderful. And now I pay the price so I am physically miserable. Morale high though.
1:04 am
grannyrose
oh darling. i am so sorry to see that. was it the traveling which affected you?
1:06 am
sprite
I drove 90 minutes each way and sat on a rotten chair all day. So yeah, things my body does not do gladly.
1:06 am
grannyrose
egad, girl. a long day for you. i bet you smiled the whole day too.
1:07 am
sprite
sure did. It was great to see so many of my colleagues again, and share this creative fun day with them.
1:08 am
sprite
and how are you doing?
1:12 am
grannyrose
each day getting harder to deal with unfortunately. but admission is now only 8 days away. * sigh * the pain at night is terrible. so i don't sleep, and you know what that does to my mental state.
1:13 am
sprite
that is a downward spiral on steroids, yeah. You need to tell them your period between treatments has to be shorter
1:14 am
grannyrose
i think this time is more to do with having been through covid.
1:14 am
sprite
not so. You were in a bad way before last treatment also and we had the same convo. Though I am sure Covid hasn't helped any.
1:17 am
grannyrose
i will discuss with the pain doc. when i go in. i had forgotten that episode. i do remember that the downward trend was later in my cycle though. i lasted about 8 weeks then began going down.
1:17 am
sprite
then you should be back in after 8 weeks.
1:18 am
rururocks
How did you catch covid gr?
1:18 am
grannyrose
that would be logical. * sigh *
1:19 am
sprite
yes darling. Holding out for as long as you can, meanwhile going down the drain, is selfharming behaviour and serves no other purpose than making you miserable.
1:19 am
grannyrose
hey ruru. it was my first time. we had been to a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. 360 people in the same room.
1:20 am
rururocks
Oh. That’ll do it
1:22 am
rururocks
I got it this summer for the first time as well
1:22 am
grannyrose
ruru, by the time i thought to test, it was nearly 5 days. so anti-virals were not much use. but with all the vax's, it was probably more like a really bad flu. didn't need hospitalisation. just isolated, and treated myself symptomatically.
1:23 am
sprite
treated herself by doing taxing physical cleaning stuff in stead of helping her body recover. Just sayin'.
1:23 am
grannyrose
thank heavens we already had the nebuliser, and nebules of salbutamol on hand.
1:24 am
grannyrose
blabber mouth Sprite. remind me to smack you with a wet tissue.
1:24 am
sprite
nope, you will not. Because I am right and you were reckless.
1:25 am
grannyrose
pffft... and you're over there, and i am here.... and you can't get to me... lol
1:25 am
sprite
I just did :)
1:26 am
grannyrose
i was bored... ( in whiny voice )
1:27 am
sprite
no excuse. There are books, series, games, crafts, puzzles...
1:27 am
rururocks
What’s zentangle ? A bunch of buddhists playing twister?
1:27 am
grannyrose
roflol, ruru. oh how i've missed you.
1:28 am

Sounds like he’ll be ladder than usual then
1:35 am

Firefighting is hot work and one always has to hydrant themselves
1:40 am
grannyrose
yes, one gets very flushed.
1:42 am
rururocks
Older firefighters often look extinguished looking
1:46 am
