just popping in before dinner to say cooee and g'day from me

2:39 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Rose.

2:39 am

Lizlin

Feeling a bit better today?

2:42 am

grannyrose

yes thanx dear friend. new meds regimen helping

2:43 am

Lizlin

Good. I saw yesterday that you'd had a terribly painful night :(

2:44 am

grannyrose

i am nearly going bonkers here. new gp wants to see report from my thyroid scan which was about 4-5 years ago.when we changed docs a coup[le of years ago, we asked our then current gp for our records to be sent on.

2:45 am

grannyrose

the so-and-so scanned everything in no particular order. sigh... i have to go through the scan page by page.

2:45 am

Lizlin

That's ridiculous! They've lost the report or it was never mailed.

2:45 am

Lizlin

So frustrating for you.

2:46 am

grannyrose

yeah, and the study with the big desk top pc on is like an inferno.

2:47 am

grannyrose

i am half way though the second file of reports etc.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Not helpful for you. Can't you copy the files onto a flash drive and view on a laptop somewhere cooler?

2:49 am

grannyrose

don't think it's worth it. i am nearly there. if we have to do so, will leave the desk top on overnight and i will finish in the morning.

2:50 am

Lizlin

I hope you find it soon.

2:51 am

grannyrose

what's the weather like up there?

2:52 am

Lizlin

High 20s. Sometimes low 30s. Not much rain even though it's storm season. So who knows? Could storm!

2:53 am

grannyrose

i certainly hope it doesn't. too many storms already.

2:54 am

Lizlin

Have to expect it at this time of year. If there are any cyclones up north, we sometime catch the edge.

2:57 am

grannyrose

most delicious aromas wafting through. slow-cooked lamb in red-wine, herbs and spices.

2:57 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely.

2:58 am

grannyrose

with fresh salad. fresh fruit salad and greek yoghurt for afters.

2:58 am

Lizlin

Definitely yummy. We're having Hokies.

2:58 am

Lizlin

Definitely yummy. We're having Hokies.

2:59 am

Lizlin

Hoki

2:59 am

Lizlin

Sorry about that. Glitch!

3:00 am

grannyrose

the fish? if so my favourite.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Yes, the fish. Not sure how hubby's cooking it

3:01 am

grannyrose

drooling here....

3:01 am

Lizlin

Lol!

3:02 am

grannyrose

we have barramundi and salmon in the freezer. maybe tomorrow.

3:02 am

Lizlin

Stalled here at 26. Will probably list later tonight.

3:02 am

Lizlin

We also have those.

3:02 am

Lizlin

I love salmon but really miss cold water fish.

3:03 am

Lizlin

Cod, plaice, sole.

3:03 am

grannyrose

like which?

3:03 am

grannyrose

ahhhh

3:03 am

Lizlin

Haddock.

3:04 am

Lizlin

Sometimes get NZ sole at the restaurant we love.

3:05 am

grannyrose

i found tinned herrings the other day. oh my... they taste so different from anything i have ever had.

3:06 am

Lizlin

Fresh herring is lovely. But I also love pickled.

3:06 am

Lizlin

Never had tinned.

3:07 am

grannyrose

okay, i hear the meat being sliced. dinner nearly here. catch ya later. xoxox

3:07 am

good morning all

3:22 am

rubyfoo

Good Morning!

3:22 am

sprite

morning ruby :) *hug*

3:22 am

rubyfoo

Is anybody here?

3:23 am

rubyfoo

((sprite)) yay

3:23 am

rubyfoo

We have another day of cold, rain, but, contra to the very detailed local weather report, NO SNOW!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

Another yay for that!

3:24 am

sprite

that is a good thing.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

and another good thinbg, no pain this morning

3:25 am

sprite

awesome, ruby :)

3:25 am

rubyfoo

How are you feeling, cutie? I tend to be so focused on my stupid pain, that I forget that most of us are suffering

3:26 am

sprite

I am ok. Waiting for the meds to kick in, lots of pain the last few days. And another bumpy night. But will be off to another session of volunteer work this night, looking forward to it.

3:27 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good-day my dearest sprite. {{hugs}} darling ruby.

3:28 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Did you have less pain cramps today?

3:28 am

rubyfoo

you are amazing, volunteering when you have your own pain! I spend a lt of time huddled Under blankets

3:28 am

rubyfoo

55rosie!!))

3:28 am

grannyrose

yes thanx sprite. new regimen working well.

3:29 am

sprite

yeah well, I don't have cancer. My pain is chronic and will be with me the rest of my life. So it is up to me to decide whether it will rule my life or not, right?

3:29 am

grannyrose

exactly sprite

3:29 am

sprite

am so glad, rose. *hugs*- Keep up this regimen.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

Each of us deals with chronic pain in her own way, I guess

3:31 am

rubyfoo

Does humidity affect you, sprite? And lack of humidity for Rose?

3:31 am

grannyrose

ruby, there is no right way to deal with chronic pain. every one of us reacts differently sweetie.

3:32 am

sprite

yeah, humidity, and changes in weather like storm and snow and such. And I agree, rose, there is not one true way. We all have to figure it out for ourselves.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm cowardly in the face of pain but, hopefully, if I have radiation treatment this winter, it will alleviate some of it and I'll be able to cut back on the morphine

3:34 am

sprite

pain is a lady dog. It sucks to have it and it sucks up lots of your energy to boot.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

Anyway, today should be a good day -- nothing )lanned, Luisa came andmade a fire, dogs are fed and indoors, for a change and I am feeling optimistic

3:34 am

rubyfoo

planned!

3:35 am

sprite

optimistic is good.

3:35 am

rubyfoo

my lady dog is a floozy, swinging her fluffy hips around

3:36 am

grannyrose

*giggles*

3:36 am

sprite

your lady dog is a darling. Not the kind I meant, lol

3:37 am

rubyfoo

omg, the dreaded trump is a phantom

3:38 am

sprite

I keep seeing surplus. Which isn't even almost there.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

Did anybody see Obama,s speech the other night? I don,t think there was a dry eye in the house, except maybe the dogs

3:38 am

grannyrose

lol ruby. i tried to find sequel AND prequel, neither there.

3:39 am

sprite

good phantoms, those

3:47 am

grannyrose

as our muso's are off duty until february our service had no hymns. one of the elderly men, said to the vicar, he wanted to make a formal request for just one hymn next week. i didn't hear which one he wanted... but it could be interesting with no music. lolll

3:48 am

sprite

interesting indeed. A capella... it is beautiful, when done right

3:48 am

grannyrose

rubyfoo

grannyrose

3:58 am

5:29 pm

Hellooooo Welki :-)

5:30 pm

Soodle

<----- could do with a frenzied cleaner Chez Soodle....

5:31 pm

welki

hi soodle - i read someone's online account of cleaning her kitchen and i got 'inspired' - when she didn't answer if, when she was done, would she clean mine :)

5:32 pm

welki

yipes, if that sentence makes any sense at all

5:33 pm

welki

in fact, i think you're FB friends with her, too

5:33 pm

Soodle

My house is clean-ish. Like nobody is going to get typhoid, or such-like. But, the clutter! GOD! The clutter....

5:34 pm

welki

i've been trying to follow a regimen - throw one thing out each day

5:34 pm

Soodle

Lol, Welki - I tend to avoid FB posts that make me feel bad!

5:34 pm

welki

i figure that, by the time we have to downsize, i should have thrown out 11, 245 paper clips :D

5:35 pm

Soodle

But, but, but..... What if some day I will NEED that basin with a hole in it??

5:36 pm

Soodle

Lol

5:36 pm

welki

it really works, though - if you're determined to de-clutter, and can throw one thing out every day, you'll find yourself throwing more than one thing out on some days

about the basin, once it's in the trash, it's gone. you can buy another one and put a hole in it if you need it ;)

5:37 pm

Soodle

Tsk! Stop using logic on me, Welki. Hundreds before you have failed!

5:38 pm

welki

i challenge you, soodle. one thing everyday for a week. doesn't have to be a BIG thing, but something that you've not used in the last six months

5:40 pm

welki

so that glass with the chip in it? yeah, it's pretty - pretty garbage. out with it.

the blouse that you bought 5 years ago, the one with the funny sleeves? to the bin.

be brave - open that make up drawer and throw out the old mascara, eye shadow and blush.

5:41 pm

ChrissieDee

How do you know so much about my house welki, lol

5:41 pm

welki

i think soodle fainted at the thought.

5:41 pm

Soodle

I suppose I could begin with one paperclip tomorrow...... But the blouse with the funny sleeves stays. It's a lovely colour....

5:42 pm

ChrissieDee

I think it's a great idea, just shared it with hubby. We should both try it

5:43 pm

welki

if you start small, the big project doesn't overwhelm you

5:43 pm

Soodle

Shit. They are ganging up on me ....

5:43 pm

ChrissieDee

Sorry Soodle ðŸ˜‰

5:44 pm

welki

we're working our way downstairs into the basement - things have migrated down there over the years and i'm sick of it

5:45 pm

Soodle

Lol!! Heading for midnight here. Time for me to retire & dream uncluttered dreams. Night night ladies ðŸ˜„

5:45 pm

ChrissieDee

It would help if when the kids left home they took all their stuff with them

5:45 pm

ChrissieDee

Sweet dreams

5:45 pm

welki

escapism, soodle. dream of an uncluttered house - where flat surfaces shine and there's actually room in the bookcase for a book!

5:46 pm

welki

yeah, well there's the kid stuff, too - unclaimed, unowned.

5:47 pm

Soodle

before I go.... I must confess that there is still 'stuff' belonging to to me in my parents' house....

5:47 pm

welki

chrissie, since i've started this 'throw one thing out' thing, whenever i buy a new piece of clothing, i either throw out or donate one from the closet

5:48 pm

welki

i have parents' and grandparents' stuff, too - slowly purging what i won't/don't use

5:48 pm

periwinkle

welki, I have been doing that for some time now. gave away some things to goodwill yesterday. now have three tops I have not worn washing, ironed and ready to donate.

5:49 pm

periwinkle

and I am actually getting organized!

5:49 pm

periwinkle

and hello all

5:49 pm

welki

it helps, peri - it feels good to donate good stuff. we recently got rid of a couch and will get rid of two recliners - all donated to those in need

5:49 pm

ChrissieDee

Heard about a book called "stuffocation". Such a good word

5:50 pm

periwinkle

and there is a free store not too far from me. I have donated twice there so far.

5:50 pm

welki

it doesn't even need to be to 'organizations' like good will or salvation army - could be to a young couple or someone whose run into some hard times

5:50 pm

welki

who's

5:50 pm

periwinkle

I gave some things to my niece. and she was happy to get them

5:51 pm

stuffocation!

5:51 pm

Nice to help others, especially family

5:52 pm

i know why i've collected all these things and there's no reason for me to do it anymore

I am doing your idea about getting rid of clutter too welki. It takes forwever but it makes me feel good to remember how many carloads of nonsense I took out of here

7:46 pm

welki

same here - every little bit helps, and the house looks better every day. to me, anyway - to a casual observer, the house looks fine, but i know where everything's hiding :)

I started doing it when we had to clean out after the parents died. I didn't want my kids to have to decide what to do with all this stuff. If I just keep the things that are meaningful to me, there will be so much less to sort and I will be happy

welki

precisely - i've had some losses recently and i want things as simplified as possible
