{{hugs}} dear friend. how was your yesterday? were you able to recuperate a little?
2:33 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Good evening darling :) Ummmm no, it was a Family Constellation day. Been up and about from 8 am till 9 pm, then drove home, and found my beloved deep asleep and no food available, lol.
2:33 am
sprite
how have you been? Is the darn nerve calming down a little?
2:35 am
grannyrose
oh my poor sweetie. and how tired must Rob have been... just a tad on the over the edge day, methinks.
2:35 am
grannyrose
oh my poor sweetie. and how tired must Rob have been... just a tad on the over the edge day, methinks.
2:37 am
grannyrose
nope, it is being as beastly as all get out....still managed to do a sinkful of dishes and three loads of washing. himself has bought us a new desk-top computer. he has been busy setting up so both of us can use it easily.
2:37 am
sprite
totally. But worth it, from my part. An amazing day.
2:38 am
grannyrose
BUT.... i took TWO magnesium this morning and have made it through most of the day without cramps, which is a blessing.
2:38 am
sprite
oh nice, a new puter :) Ugh @ the nerve. And... just askin'... why 3 loads of laundry? You could do one and the day after another one...
2:39 am
sprite
that is a very good thing. Will you be having another desensitising thingie for the nerve?
2:41 am
grannyrose
i hear you honey, but i wandered out when i felt ready to do the next. would you believe it? i went to sleep with the fan on last night, and tonight i am wrapped up in my shawl with the heater on. aaaggghhh !!
2:41 am
grannyrose
anyway, it does mean i can put the drying through the dryer.
2:43 am
sprite
yeah, but try and spread the joy, honey... it really is better for you. Yuck, I know how it is when you can't manage an even temperature. *hugsssss* my darling. How much longer till new infusion?
2:43 am
grannyrose
booked in for denervation at the end of november. remember ?? because of the pain, even when unconscious, it triggers the FM. i am going to be having my next infusion therapy when i go to the op. theatre to have the procedure.
2:44 am
sprite
yes, I know how the FM reacts to your pain. Sucks big time ;)
2:46 am
sprite
hm, quite a long wait then still. 3 more weeks. Please, pace yourself? One task a day is plenty. Which means ONE load of laundry and not three! Or cleaning faucets and sink in the bathroom, and not the floor as well!
2:46 am
grannyrose
*giggles* you been spying on me??
2:47 am
sprite
no need for that, sister of my soul :D
2:48 am
grannyrose
*wry grin* yeah i know... you do the exact same thing. now.... when is Caya home again? and is the boyo still being conscientious?
2:50 am
sprite
Caya had to work this weekend, so she won't be coming home. Tim just had his first tests and they went well. He is being pleasant and keeping his end of the bargains.
2:51 am
grannyrose
*huge sigh* it would appear he has turned the corner. meanwhile, you and Rob are living, waiting for the other shoe to fall. it will be a while before you both can relax a little with regard to Tim's behaviour.
2:53 am
sprite
yes that is true. It is so wonderful that you know how we feel. But our faith in Tim is growing every day.
2:54 am
grannyrose
good for you both. and i do know how you feel. my Josh was very unpleasant to live with for about 2 years when he was 14 and 15.
2:56 am
sprite
it is tough, isn't it, having someone living with you whose behaviour is absolutely unacceptable, but who you can't and won't throw out. Any other person behaving like that would be out in the street right away, but not your child.
2:56 am
sprite
on* the street (I think)
2:57 am
grannyrose
btw, Lan, and her two kids, is being baptised tomorrow. and Aaron, her hubby, is being confirmed. we are having a newly ordained bishop to do the chore... lolll lunch after the service...

they had good cannolis, but better than that was this guy they'd get in on saturday nights, a frank sinatra type singer - there'd be a ton of ladies there mooning, swooning while he flirted/sang. my husband and i would go out onto the boardwalk and dance to 'the summer wind'
9:13 am

I do remember him.
9:13 am

(You would think that after playing for so many years I'd know enough to look at which box I'm in, wouldn't you?
8:53 pm
Nef
So how are you doing tonight? DH & I went for a ride today; spent 3 1/2 hours driving & exploring and enjoying the beautiful fall weather today. I wanted to see how he'd tolerate a short trip& he did okay (so far) - other than his legs were weak from sitting so long (& we did stop & do some very short walks along the way. I took him over to the St. Croix valley area; & I think that half of St. Paul had to have been in Stillwater -- it looked like tourist season was in full swing again.
8:55 pm
stidmama
hey all -- glad you got out for some fun, Nef.
8:55 pm
stidmama
Tom and I are watching the new Ghostbusters. It's good.
8:56 pm
Nef
hi stid. How are you doing today? Feeling better?
8:58 pm
stidmama
I am better, yes.
8:59 pm
Nef
Oh, good. You sounded so sick the other day
8:59 pm
stidmama
The new glasses aren't right, but I haven't had time this past week (getting report cards ready) to go back and complain. Maybe this coming week -- we have parent conferences, so will have to see how I feel if they finish on time...
9:02 pm
Nef
I hope you get them fixed ASAP. If your glasses are wonky your eyes have to work hard to try to accommodate that & that can sap you of any extra energy you may have.
9:02 pm
stidmama
I think the worst of the health issues are at bay now. :-)
9:03 pm
Nef
that's good. :-)
9:14 pm
stidmama
How are you doing personally? Enjoying the autumn so far?
9:34 pm
Nef
Sorry, stid; I wandered off for a bit there. I'm doing okay. This has been a very wet year here; so weather changes are a pain; but doing okay otherwise.
The autumn colors here have been breathtakingly pretty this year!
9:37 pm
Nef
Boy! I'm at 32 words left & can't see anymore words. I was trying to go listless, but can't tonight. :-/
9:40 pm
stidmama
no worries, I am at 35 words! LOL
9:40 pm
stidmama
not going to make it listless...
9:42 pm
Nef
I agree. I felt like I was doing okay; but kind of hit the wall now
9:44 pm
stidmama
Oh, that was a FUN movie! Have decided that If anything happens to my Tom, Chris Hemsworth might be a reasonable alternative.... ;-)
9:45 pm
Nef
LOL! That's funny, stid! :-D
9:49 pm
stidmama
okay, down to 33 -- list helps!
9:54 pm
Nef
that ti 6/21 is invisible to me.
9:55 pm
stidmama
yep, me too -- working backward and it has me stumped. Also the ta 6
9:57 pm
Nef
ta6 is needed to make hummus, stid
9:57 pm
rbud
ti 6/21 - neater, more organized?
9:57 pm
stidmama
hummus? or humus?
9:58 pm
stidmama
that's the first ti 6/21, thanks rbud -- do you have the second?
9:58 pm
rbud
ooh, ty for the ta6
9:58 pm
stidmama
looking for the ta 6... "manure"-like word, methinks...
9:58 pm
Nef
bud, there are 2 ti 6/21; the 2nd ! is harder to find
9:59 pm
stidmama
oh -- hummus -- got it! LOL
9:59 pm
Nef
It's a food product from the Middle East i think?
10:00 pm
Nef
(Sorry, stid, I wasn't thinking about spelling)
10:01 pm
stidmama
the ta 6 is similar to hummus, but made from sesame seeds, while hummus is made from garbanzo beans and garlic and lemon juice. But they both can be used as lovely dip. :-)
10:01 pm
Nef
Phantom: timid; not sure why, but I think I've typed it 3 times!
10:02 pm
stidmama
okay, thought I could monkey the th 5/18 but no. any help?
10:02 pm
Nef
We use ta6 in our hummus, stid. That's how my Iranian friends make it.
10:04 pm
stidmama
oh! LOL
10:04 pm
torgone

10:04 pm
stidmama

10:04 pm
rbud
ah, found ti 6/21 - ti4 (fork part) + Freud's two letter word for part of the mind (along with ego, etc)
10:04 pm
stidmama
