Pini, emoji IS a word. But what can we expect from an enable version that does not even allows 'internet'?
1:41 am

late to flip, cozy grid today!
1:42 am

hiya dfmc! Too small for a free day, but yeah
1:42 am

goji (berries) not valid either

sinjoy - bad and enjoying it

stot (gazelle behaviour) is an actual word too since the 19th century
1:46 am

hey rose!
1:47 am
sprite
roooooseeeeeeee! Gosh I missed you. How was your trip? And how are you and don? *hugggggs*
1:47 am
sprite
sinjoy - 1. bad and enjoying it; 2. the pleasure one takes in looking for other people's sins, deriving a moral superiority from it
1:47 am
grannyrose
*giggle* sprite, that is the perfect word for when don and i.... um.... never mind
1:48 am
sprite
lolololllll you gooooo girl!
1:49 am
grannyrose
have finally recovered from hurtling around the country side at 100kms/hour. other than that, we had a lovely time. the weather behaved, and it was lovely to see how the township has recovered.
1:51 am
sprite
glad you enjoyed yourselves! And good job on resting up after.
1:51 am
grannyrose
also, i have taken a break from taking 5-HTP. i was having bouts of twitching and feeling hyped ++++
1:51 am
sprite
what is 5-htp?
1:53 am
grannyrose
it is the precursor to seretonin. i don't produce that enzyme and i was trying to boost production. seretonin is the mood stabiliser enzyme.
1:54 am
sprite
yeah I know serotonine, I have to take antideps to keep my levels up. Am sorry the boosting did not work out for you :(
1:55 am
grannyrose
i am also taking a serotonin uptake inhibitor. i have been watching myself for serotonin toxicity.
1:58 am
grannyrose
although what i have been having bots of doesn't seem to match symptoms described, knowing my ability to do the weird and wonderful, i thought i would try without 5-HTP for a while, and see what happens.
1:58 am
grannyrose
*bouts*
1:58 am
sprite
maybe have your blood checked just to be sure
1:59 am

2:06 am
sprite
am still waiting for the pictures of our time together, btw :D
2:07 am
grannyrose
i think so. we did a few things, including a couple of walks to sight-seeing platforms. stuff he wanted to see. i just wanted to veg, but that isn't his idea of a holiday. one walk was 700 metres. 350 in and out.
2:08 am
sprite
wow well done!
2:08 am
grannyrose
ikr? i wish we could coordinate our time (don and i).
2:09 am
sprite
or split up sometimes. Let him go sightsee and you veg with a good book and your feet up
2:16 am
grannyrose
nahhh. just thinking....
2:17 am
sprite
careful, honey, don't sprain anything :D
2:21 am
grannyrose
so how is the clearing going?
2:22 am
sprite
oh rose, you won't believe it... attic is done, caya's room three quarters. Would have been finished yesterday, if not... ready for a story?
2:22 am
grannyrose
please do tell.
2:24 am
sprite
picture Rob and me, up to our eyebrows in clearing and wallpaper and stuff. Phone rings. A little while later, I hear Rob in a very very thin little voice: "Cass?"
I say "What is up??"
And he says, in an even smaller voice: "Panic..."
2:24 am
grannyrose
*holding breath*
2:25 am
sprite
it was the transporter who was going to move the big blue sea container from our garden to a new place. We thought in a few weeks at best. Noooo he said he was gonna pick up the darn thing in a few hours!
2:25 am
grannyrose
oh no.... roflollll
2:26 am
sprite
so... we were SO not ready! Had to clear out the container, make sure we were allowed to use the new place, and prepare the new place, and make sure there were no cars parked where the big haul thing had to stand...
2:26 am
grannyrose
omg......
2:27 am
sprite
I sent Rob off to the new place, he was so panicked. Which meant I had to stay cool, lol. So I sent him off, with clear instructions, and I began clearing out the container
2:28 am
sprite
you may remember that Rob had a LOT of cupboards in that container... so I deconstructed them all, removed all loose clutter and then Rob came back home...
2:28 am
sprite
...looked in the container and said... you can guess it...
2:28 am
grannyrose
where is ????
2:28 am
grannyrose
or s**t
2:29 am
sprite
lol even worse... "Oh honey, you did not need to take down all the cupboards, only the loose clutter..."
2:29 am
grannyrose
we are both ROFLOLLLL
2:31 am
sprite
anyway, we got permission to put the container at canoe club for a couple of months, just in time. And then a friend of ours came to bring those metal boards to protect the grass/ground against the big haul truck, and 10 mins later the transporter arrived
2:32 am
grannyrose
*sigh* what a day you both had...
2:32 am
grannyrose
so was it sangria all round with dinner??
2:32 am
sprite
it was crazy. But it went smooth as a baby's butt. Within 2 hours, the container was in its new spot. Rob and I crashed after removing all the metal boards, looked at eachother and said: Let's have food delivered today, LOL!
2:33 am
sprite
nah, sangria is only for very very special occasions. Rob had a few beers and I had a cider. We are so happy the container part is done!
2:34 am
grannyrose
well done both of you... but especially you, keeping your cool, just like a little duck on water.
2:36 am
sprite
exactly, grin. Am so happy I got that stability now. A couple of years ago, I would have been paralysed with stress. Now, I told myself: one thing at a time, you can do no more than what you are doing in this very instant, so breathe and do that one thing.
2:36 am
sprite
it even helps, lololol
2:37 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE !!!
2:39 am
sprite
well, guess I am gonna clear out more clutter. Luvsya, honey, glad you are back. If I can find time and a little peace of mind, I will sit down and email you. *hugs* to the both of you and one extra for you alone.
2:39 am
sprite
and to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night
