1:50 am

*hugs rose* Good evening my darling friend. Nah, am always up early in schoolweeks. How was your day?

1:50 am

grannyrose

have you finished the album?

1:51 am

sprite

not yet. That should be today. We don't celebrate till Saturday.

1:51 am

grannyrose

have been trying to stay motivated. stripped the bed. took me all afternoon to clean the bathroom... lolllbut it is done!

1:52 am

sprite

well done... I think, lol. Not pushing yourself too much, I hope?

1:52 am

grannyrose

i don't think so...

1:53 am

sprite

good. Be gentle with yourself, darling. In the long run, that makes for the best balance between accomplished tasks and well-being

1:54 am

grannyrose

xoxox honey. and how did you cope yesterday?

1:56 am

sprite

I did well, I think. Took the time to babble, then laundry. Rest, then chat training and shopping. Rest. Then buying some more gifts for the birthday girl and a gift and card for our neighbours' daughter who turned 1 yesterday. More rest, then cooking a very easy dinner... rest, then singing lesson. And then off to bed, lolll.

1:57 am

grannyrose

a full day and it appears you paced it well. yay you.

1:58 am

grannyrose

can you believe it? we were back to A/C last night. and now cool again. this weather is crazy.

1:58 am

sprite

yeah I felt I was on top of things,

1:59 am

sprite

it is tough to handle, such changes in temp all the time. No way for the body to adapt.

2:00 am

sprite

oh and today is very low-key for me. Just the photos, and recipes, and walking Terra. That. Is. It.

2:00 am

grannyrose

it's a great feeling when you can do that sprite. it he4s the mo4. ugh...all these words are in the grid.

2:00 am

grannyrose

nice sprite. as it should be. xoxox

2:00 am

sprite

lololllll most isn't, though.

2:02 am

grannyrose

still trying to adjust to the higher dose of duloxetine. i am sleeping quite well. last night was a two gloria night. foot cramps were beastly.

2:05 am

sprite

oh my god, you poor darling. That is so awful :(

2:09 am

grannyrose

and i have started some major tics. my arms or legs or my abdomen are randomly jerking in a major way. i wonder if it is serotonin syndrome. but it doesn't look like it.

2:11 am

grannyrose

just checked again. no dilated pupils, no agitation or restlessness. no rapid heart rate or high B/P.

2:11 am

sprite

rose... if you even for a second think that is it, go see your doctor! That is very dangerous.

2:12 am

grannyrose

have appointment already for friday.

2:16 am

sprite

if it is serotonin syndrom, you cannot wait that long. Ugh, you have me worried!

2:22 am

grannyrose

sweetie, i don't have all the symptoms. i feel good otherwise.

2:23 am

sprite

would you please call your gp and ask her if she thinks it is possible? Please?

2:25 am

grannyrose

too late tonight. will ring first thing in the morning, okay?

2:25 am

sprite

yes please. Thanks darling.

2:32 am

sprite

2:32 am

grannyrose

hmmm, can't see it. let me refresh

2:33 am

grannyrose

okay, it's in your profile but not in chat

2:34 am

sprite

I see it in profile and in chat, lol

2:34 am

sprite

never a dull moment with babble

2:35 am

grannyrose

nope. still not in chat. darn. have just refresshed again.

2:35 am

sprite

ah well, don't worry about it. Will change it back tomorrow anyway.

2:36 am

2:37 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

2:37 am

sprite

I am off to paste and paste and paste, lol. A big *hug* and lots of love. Take care of you, sweetie. And if you have any doubt at all about the serotonin levels, call the night doctor please.

2:37 am

grannyrose

please wish Caya a very Happy Birthday for me.

2:38 am

sprite

2:38 am

grannyrose

2:44 am

rubyfoo

Good Morning!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

Is aybody still here?

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

3:31 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz))

3:31 am

zoozzoom

How are you today?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

how i your weather? It is rainy nd grey here, but not very cold

3:33 am

zoozzoom

Blue sky and a bit nippy just doing my washing so I can get it outside to hang dry.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK now, but went to piÃ¨ces last week. I think I was either in denial or just keeping the emotions in

3:33 am

rubyfoo

But now I'm sad, but coping

3:34 am

rubyfoo

goof

3:34 am

rubyfoo

exactly! lol

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Yes bottling it up is not good. It had to come out at some point ((Ruby)) of course you are going to be sad. Try and keep yourself busy for a while.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

no problem with keeping busy; there are volumes of paperwork to deal with (translate, summarize, etc.) I just hace to stay suddixizntoly motivated

3:37 am

rubyfoo

did I coin a new word? I think that was sufficiently*

3:37 am

zoozzoom

I thought you were going to tell them you can not translate all that paperwork. That must be a nughtmare to do!

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Nightmare*

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I can only do some of it, but I think the guy want summaries because it is too much paper, even for him!

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Just do what you can do then, Ruby, they will have to sort out the rest.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I have to be nice, because I'm a supplicant, a pathetic one, at that!

3:41 am

rubyfoo

The US fisc is not famous for compassion!

3:42 am

zoozzoom

You still have rights, Ruby, do what you can do and let them know your situation.

3:43 am

zoozzoom

How are the neighbours treating you are they still helping you?

3:44 am

rubyfoo

this is a funny grid. The small words are intersting and relatively easy, but I have nothing bigger than a 6

3:44 am

rubyfoo

less, but still there if I need them

3:45 am

rubyfoo

For the moment, I really need to rest as I have a lot of pain

3:45 am

zoozzoom

I have only just got onto the G so I too hve nothing bigger than a six. Just found a ladies name gl6 too!

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Hope you are still taking any meds you need to take then, Ruby. Rest is a must :-)

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Okay I need to go and hang my washing out, Ruby. I will be back in a while though :-)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

enjoy your rainlesss day, I guess "Henry" has bypassed your island

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Back.Yes the storm has hit the north end of the country.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

We have rain, butt no storm. I think I'm for enough south

4:56 am

5:05 am

kje

gm sukee

5:06 am

sukee

Good clue kje, got it :)

5:07 am

kje

yw

5:15 am

kje

the other 7 is an od7/52

5:15 am

kje

still haven't seen the 8 yet

5:16 am

sukee

And I got the 7 :)

5:17 am

kje

great!

5:18 am

sukee

not too hard when you have the od 4/5 :)

5:19 am

lbdawger

fi8 compound word.

5:20 am

kje

ty lbd... will look

5:20 am

kje

ah, got it, ty

5:20 am

sukee

Ty, got it too :)

5:21 am

lbdawger

yw

5:23 am

sukee

Oh well, halfway.

5:25 am

kje

14 left here - and going slow

5:25 am

lbdawger

tadone! fun grid.

5:25 am

kje

yea lbd!!!

5:26 am

sukee

Ah, favorite cat toy, he brings it back, I pick it up and it was obviously dropped in the water dish and was dripping wet :)

5:26 am

kje

yuck

5:28 am

lbdawger

at least he picked it out of the water. it could still be floating there.

5:28 am

kje

brb - coffee refill!

5:28 am

kje

and maybe raspberry refill too

5:28 am

sukee

And I just found out where my pen went from my desk, that is another favorite cat toy.

5:33 am

kje

mmmmm coffee

5:33 am

kje

i enjoy tea, but it is just not the same joy

5:35 am

sukee

Yes, I am out of coffee and am having tea. I miss it. However, I will have some later today :)

5:36 am

lbdawger

coffee first, then tea the rest of the day. i have a nice lemon ginger that sustains me at work.

5:37 am

kje

that is what I do, lbd

5:37 am

kje

tea at work... easier to brew a good cup of tea at work than a decent cup of joe

5:37 am

sukee

That is what I do one coffee in the morning then tea the rest of the day. I like a ginger green tea. My stomach will not handle coffee all day any more.

5:38 am

kje

down to 7

5:38 am

kje

seeing nothing

5:38 am

sukee

43 here.

5:38 am

lbdawger

coffee is always brewing at work. smells good, but I don't need the jitters or the acid.

5:39 am

sukee

When I worked in an office I was drinking coffee all day.

5:39 am

kje

I'm just a coffee snob, lbd. The coffee at work just isn't quite right

5:40 am

kje

but there is a coffee shop I'll hit on occasion in the afternoon and will have an espresso - sleep be damned - it is just so good

5:40 am

kje

they brew stumptown - really nice

5:43 am

lbdawger

The coffee must be good or I work with a lot of addicts, the industrial pot is always brewing and they must go through at least 4 pots a day. they do have a regular and decaf machine.

5:43 am

kje

wow

5:43 am

kje

remind me what you do, lbd?

5:44 am

sukee

I have a Tassimo at home but it stopped working all of a sudden.

5:44 am

lbdawger

I have a new job, KJE phone center for flood insurance group.

5:45 am

kje

wow... you getting lots of calls from CA yet?

5:45 am

kje

cuz this el nino is doing some people in

5:45 am

lbdawger

i only have to deal with banks and insurance agents with the occassional insuree

5:46 am

lbdawger

I don't work claims...thank goodness.

5:46 am

kje

interstingly, they say this is the same weather pattern forecasting now that caused the entire yosemite valley to flood in 2005

5:46 am

kje

don't know if you've ever been to yosemite valley, but that is pretty impressive. we saw a stake there showing how high the water went - just awe inspiring what nature can do

5:49 am

lbdawger

It's been ages since I've been to Yosemite. I can't imagine it flooded. Kinda like imagining the grand canyon flooded.

5:50 am

kje

yeah, it was mind boggling

5:51 am

kje

fw!

5:51 am

sukee

wtg

5:52 am

lbdawger

whoo hoooo KJE!!

5:52 am

sukee

36 left here, time to go make some breakfast.

5:52 am

sukee

Have a good day.

5:52 am

lbdawger

5:53 am

kje

hagd

5:53 am

lbdawger

and I'm off to get ready for work. must rethink what I'm wearing as it's only 13Â°F out there. going to need more than a sweater to stay warm.

5:54 am

kje

I think I'll try to get a few more hours of sleep

5:54 am

lbdawger

poof

5:54 am

kje

wow, lbd! stay warm!

Scrabbler

Anyone stoll

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Anyone still here?

6:05 am

Lizlin

Hi all - hi scrabbs

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi Liz.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

coup

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Free Clue Wednesday!

6:06 am

Lizlin

Weird question - was it you who recommended the Tana French books to me? I know it was someone on babble!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

It was me. I love her books and her style of writing so much.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

She is so descriptive and detailed in her writing.

6:07 am

Lizlin

I've just about finished Broken Harbour about 40 pages left and I've read the previous 3 - really enjoying them. wanted to say thanks for the recommendation.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

YW. I cannot wait for her next book,but I keep checking her website, and there is no mention of her next book.

6:09 am

Lizlin

I'll also watch out for it.

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Tana really gets into the psychology of the detectives and the other characters.

6:10 am

Lizlin

You certainly get to know them well.

6:11 am

Lizlin

I like the fact that the stories are stand alone but the detectives are sort of known from earlier books without knowing too much about them.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Yes, each book focuses on one of the detectives in the squad.

6:13 am

Lizlin

it's a clever idea - brings a freshness to each story. Most series develop the main character - so this is like a series but not!!

6:13 am

Scrabbler

And just so well-written.

6:14 am

Lizlin

Definitely well written.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I am reading #3 of a series by Lyndsay Faye with main character Timothy Wilde, a Copper Star of the newly create New York Police Department in the 1840's. Another great writer.

6:16 am

Lizlin

I'll have a look - I've got so much to read lined up on my iPad.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

It is fascinating to learn about Manhattan in the 1840's.

6:16 am

Lizlin

Next is a Patricai Briggs series.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I understand, I have a pile of 2 dozen books.

6:17 am

Lizlin

Sounds interesting - perhaps like me reading novels set in Victorian London.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I looked up Briggs--fantasy series.

6:18 am

Lizlin

Yes - I love sci fin and fantasy.

6:18 am

Lizlin

Auto correct doing well!

6:19 am

Scrabbler

My favorite = historical fiction.

6:19 am

Lizlin

I used to read a lot of that when I was younger.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

And non-fiction, which is what I exclusively read until maybe 10-15 years ago when I started reading historical fiction.

6:21 am

Lizlin

I don't often read non-fiction. Again I read more when i was younger - usually nature based.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it fascinating to learn what people's preferences are in reading, or music?

6:22 am

bichon

I only read fiction, at least as an adult

6:22 am

Lizlin

Yes - I love Molly's music referenced clues - but a lot of people don't get them at all! I must admit i don't get them all!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon.

6:23 am

Lizlin

I used to really dissect books - comes of a language degree but now I just want to read for pure pleasure.

6:23 am

bichon

hi Liz, Scrabs

6:23 am

Lizlin

Hi bichon

6:26 am

Lizlin

20 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days :)

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Good night,Liz.
