RG3 has regressed and is becoming a bit of a prima dona
12:53 am
rururocks

He's not doing the work necessary to get better... and he isn't fully recovered from his injury I think

4:00 am
sprite

hi Dianne :) I am good. Our Xmas was very quiet and relaxed and we all enjoyed it. We will have a 'Xmas' dinner tomorrow, because Tim's girlfriend had to work until now.
4:01 am
Dianne

What will you make for dinner?
4:02 am
sprite

not sure I know the english phrase for it... we will be gourmetting... using a table grill and tiny pans while sitting at the table together.
4:04 am
Dianne

I don
4:05 am
Dianne

Sorry - I don't know the English phrase for it either but it sounds very nice and cozy.
4:06 am
sprite

it is. We will be preparing a lot of stuff fit for using in the tiny pans beforehand, but not much cooking to do.
4:07 am
Dianne

We have a "feast"; roast turkey, sausage stiffing, green bean casserole, sweet potato pie and corn bread with carrot cake for dessert.
4:08 am
Dianne

and we've been eating leftovers since then :)
4:08 am
sprite

wow awesome, sounds so good!
Here is a pic of gourmetten:

4:10 am

the handles you see at the bottom of the grill are the handles of the tiny pans.
4:10 am
Dianne

o.k. i'm going to look now, thanks.
4:14 am
Dianne

It looks great - a little like hibachi cooking.
4:15 am
sprite

it is a lot of fun. Makes for lonnnng dinners, but that is all good at some days. Lots of time for family fun and bonding.
4:15 am
sprite

your dinner sounds delicious too. Very healthy too!
4:18 am
Dianne

will you be cooking seafood and meats?
4:19 am
sprite

yes, and tiny pancakes and veggies
4:20 am
Dianne

4:24 am
puglet

thanks Sprite--I had a party one but it wouldnt show up very well
4:24 am
sprite

yes Dianne. She and Tim hooked up around the time we were having such huge issues with him. As a result she seems to think we are very nasty parents, lol. And Tim kept her away from us in that time too, because he didn't want us to set her straight about what was happening. So tomorrow is going to be kind of a new thing. We'll see...
4:25 am
sprite

hiya Chrissie :) Lol! Too true!
4:25 am
Dianne

Well that being the case this is a perfect sort of dinner to have - very casual and friendly atmosphere.
4:26 am
sprite

yes, and lots of things to occupy your hands and eyes with when you feel uncomfortable. We talked it through, my love and I, and decided it was perfect for teenagers as well.
4:26 am
ChrissieDee

She's in for a shock when she realises you are a happy family who had a "normal" hiccup :)
4:26 am

And was kinda rude to my neighbour, so I went by to say sorry and she was so nice. Told me there was no need to say sorry, that she understood I was in panic, had wondered if she should stay in the store and help me but had reasoned I would ask if I wanted that, and she thought it best to not distract me.

1. Remember, feelings of panic are just exaggerations of normal bodily stress reactions.
2. Sensations are neither harmful nor dangerous - just unpleasant. Nothing worse will happen.
3. Anxiety is temporary. Instead of fighting it, relax into it. Just let it be.*
4. Focus on facing the fear rather than trying to avoid it or escape from it.
5. Stop adding to the panic with frightening thoughts of where panic will lead.
6. Stay in the present. Be aware of what is happening to you rather than concern yourself with how much worse it might get.
7. Notice that when you stop adding to panic with frightening thoughts, the fear begins to fade.
8. Wait and give the fear time to pass.
9. Look around you. Plan what you will do next as the panic subsides.
10. When you are ready to go on, do so in an easy, relaxed manner. There is no hurry.
11. Think about the progress made so far despite all the difficulties.
*Breathe
6:45 am

well that was nice of her to notice butwhy was she afraid to help? did you have your claws out or something
6:45 am

that's BS ooo. Panic attacks don't lead to rational thought

thank you, o-o. I actually put those rules into practice. Since you have given them to me, I read them very often. They truly help.

Iam going to list those myself---havent had one in a long long time
6:47 am
sprite

pug, no she wasn't afraid, just wondering which would be best for me. Not having experience with panic attacks, she thought I would ask for help if I wanted it, and thought I would rather be left in peace so I could focus on my control.

I think those are helpful for any stressful situation.

slowly getting there, pug. Ugly thing with ptsd is that once the panic hormones go up like this, it takes a long time for them to settle down again. My body and emotions are still in fight-or-flight mode, even though my mind knows there is no need.
6:50 am
puglet

I use to have panic attacks when I had to drive on snowy or icy roads. So much so that my legs would shake so bad and I would have to talk to myself to get over each hill and up each valley
6:51 am

oh pug, how awful. is it still that way for you?
6:51 am
puglet

I wouldnt even touch the gas pedal but coast most of the way--lol

lol... burned my fingers twice and almost a full body front burn with the hot fat while doing the stew. Shaked so badly. So I know what you mean.
6:52 am

that would surely cure it for you, pug! You are a survivor and a winner at core.

6:56 am
crosshair

yes,well,try and keep clear of lakes,ponds and other large bodies of water
6:56 am

but that is healthy panic, pug. Panic certainly has a purpose for us humans. It is when it goes haywire when it doesn't have to, then it becomes troublesome :)

The thing is most flats do not have heat. So we have our little space heaters running.

I just shipped a bunch of wine to Hong Kong
11:46 pm
rururocks

why no heat?
11:47 pm
Dianne

Wine is really big here especially since the gov reduced the tariffs.
11:48 pm
Dianne

It is usually hot here - normally for 8-9 months. Air con is the big thing here. Some folks have air cons that also heat.
11:48 pm

I'll say.. I just sent over a parcel that was worth a lot of dough
11:48 pm
