I mean he7....can't time as fast as I spell.
12:46 am

I don't have the he7 (I''m looking for it). I suppose you could class the co7 as a compound word (a funny one)
12:47 am
mattygroves
It's not pronounced as it's spelled though (I just looked it up)
12:47 am

hi Liz :) Yes, phone call tomorrow afternoon and then I'll know the time as well.
2:46 am
Lizlin
Exciting!!! Did you enjoy your meal out the other night?
2:48 am
sprite
lol that was a disaster! Was supposed to be a new restaurant, but it was actually a coffeeshop... the dutch kind... selling weed over the counter behind our backs. Almost no choice of food, and we got served one by one with about 10 mins in between. It was so bad it was hilarious and we did have fun together.
2:48 am
Lizlin
At least you were able to laugh about it!
2:50 am
sprite
Tim actually had a laughing fit :D Tears running down his cheeks from laughing. And afterwards Rob took us to the best italian icebar in amsterdam, so it wasn't a total waste... and the laughs were worth it.
2:50 am
Lizlin
Sounds like a really lovely evening - one to be remembered. Did you take pics?
2:51 am

yes the kids took pics on their cells. And we all agreed it was a wonderful evening. Definitely memorable :)

2:54 am

I agree with Liz, lovely to read it and great you are doing well. What did doc say about frequency of infusions?
2:55 am
grannyrose
he is trying to organise his new rooms. once that is done, fortnightly infusions of magnesium is definitely on the cards.
2:55 am
sprite
woot, that would be perfect
2:56 am
Lizlin
Wow! To be pain free - that would be so good.
2:57 am

i am actually sitting here wearing three layers on the top, heater is on, thick socks, thick trousers. and i am not even close to hot.
2:57 am

very comfy, rose.]
2:57 am

Hm! Have a hot shower? Then put the layers back on! Or are you just comfortable?
2:58 am
grannyrose

Hopefully one to be regularly repeated before too long.
3:00 am

the weepiness is gone too. and the feeling of 'i can't do this' has gone. amazing isn't it? *small giggle*
3:01 am
Lizlin
Wonderful :)
3:01 am
sprite
not amazing. But a very clear indicator of what the cause is of the feeling down and not up to doing stuff. Pain is a lady dog all the way.
3:02 am
Lizlin
Very true.
3:02 am
Lizlin
Not that I have anything against lady dogs.
3:03 am
sprite
not against the canine types. But ohhhh the human kinds...
3:03 am
Lizlin
Well, I meant the canine ones of course - wouldn't want any lady dog owners to get upset. I love canines.

Now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! This is for those whose reading enjoyment include the post-apocalyptic genre. he is a indie author by the name of Hugh Howey and has a great 5 book series as follows: Wool, Dust, I Zombie, Them, and Sand. Look it up. You will be glad you did. For those who wish if, I can share with you all 5 books in a digital omnibus edition that you can just pop right on your e-reader.
