good morning all
1:59 am
grannyrose
and back with ginormous hugs for my spritey. hello love. how are you doing?
2:06 am
sprite
welcome back, darling *hugsssss*
2:06 am
sprite
I am okay, though tense. Thanks for your email. I already replied :)
2:07 am
sprite
looks like today the decision will fall, rose... if there is a good offer, we will accept
2:08 am
grannyrose
i bet you're tense.
2:08 am
sprite
lol yeah. And as usual, | do not really feel it as an emotion... it is my body that makes me aware of how big an impact this has.
2:08 am
grannyrose
darling, as difficult as it may seem, my advice is not to rush into a decision.
2:09 am
sprite
no, not gonna rush. But if there is a good offer and the realtor thinks this is as good as it gets, we will go for it.
2:12 am
sprite
phantom: fiction. And all those other words ending in -tion
2:14 am
grannyrose
well before you sign n the dotted line, you and Rob go out for a coffee or whatever. relax, talk it over, then go back with your decision, even if you are sure the answer is YES.
2:15 am
sprite
oh yes, I promise, darling. We will take our time deciding. I know the realtor expects nothing less. No worries. We will do this as responsible adults.
2:15 am
grannyrose
good for you.
2:15 am
sprite
I expect the realtor will call me this afternoon. Rob is still at work then. We will talk it over once he gets home.
2:16 am
grannyrose
no you won't. you will go out and talk it over... away from the scene so to speak. on neutral territory.
2:19 am
sprite
hm, that is a tough one. Rather tight schedule today. I am helping our trainer train the new volunteers this afternoon, then dinner, then singing lesson if the coughing is a little less. But it will be okay. We can go for a ride or something.
2:20 am
grannyrose
a ride or anything. find some where the stress is much less. i know, i know, but your own home is the cause of stress so going away for a little while, while making your decision would only be beneficial.
2:22 am
sprite
good advice, darling. Will do. I might simply cancel singing lesson, listen to my body telling me that coughing your ass off is not a good way to sing, lol... and take the time to be together with Rob and feel our way to a good decision.
2:22 am
grannyrose
that sounds like a very sensible decision.
2:27 am
sprite
okay darling... just cancelled tonight's lesson. *hug*
2:27 am
grannyrose
good for you.... i think your lungs and throat just thanked you.
2:28 am
sprite
phantoms: all those words ending in -ified
2:28 am
sprite
they did, lolllll. Actually, they thank YOU
2:28 am
grannyrose
ikr....i had an awful time with th4 ending
2:28 am
sprite
I am so not good at feeling where my limits are. Ugh. Thanks for having my back, as usual, darling.
2:29 am
grannyrose
np's honey. not of5 i am right, but i am right again... lolll
2:30 am
sprite
roflolllllll indeed
2:30 am
grannyrose
golly, i wish i had money on your response. i would have made a fortune... loll
2:36 am
sprite
annnnnd I have sent an email to the realtor, asking him to call me before 2 pm because I have to work later.
2:38 am
grannyrose
*sigh* sprite honey, my motivation levels don't appear to have dropped at all this time. i did 2 weeks of laundry yesterday. all dried out in the sunshine. today i have ironed, folded and sorted it. plus cut up my fruit salad for my breakfasts for about a week.
2:38 am
sprite
how is that for stress reduction, lol
2:38 am
grannyrose
ooohhhhh, good for you.
2:39 am
sprite
wow, that is amazing, rose. Awesome news. Just make sure you still keep an eye on your limits and all, okay? Hard to pace yourself when you feel so motivated.
2:40 am
grannyrose
i know. so goal-setting is top of the list each day.
2:40 am
sprite
you rock, honey. So on top of your game.
2:41 am
grannyrose
and i tell Don when i have achieved my goals for the day. i am hoping he may pick up the habit.
2:41 am
sprite
nearoic - almost valiant
2:42 am
grannyrose
*giggle* put it in
2:42 am
sprite
oh that is a smart move! Good for you. And yeah, that would be good for him too.
2:48 am
sprite
oh did I tell you? Rob and I are gonna attend a workshop about self-sufficient, off the grid houses. There is this guy here who has collected tons of info on this. A good contact to have, and a good workshop to go to.
2:49 am
sprite
somewhere in december, it is
2:49 am
grannyrose
nice....
2:51 am
grannyrose
we have solar power. in the summer months we do not have a power bill to pay. i would love to install solar hot water.
2:52 am
sprite
we hope to make that work for us too. Even though we do not have the amount of sunlight you guys have, there are ways to make it work here. Am certain we will learn more in the workshop!
2:52 am
sprite
for hot water, you need solar collectors, I think, not just solar panels?
2:54 am
grannyrose
watching Grand Designs, they of5 talk about in-floor heating, and also piles drilled into the ground which draw on ground he4.
2:54 am
sprite
sounds great
2:55 am
grannyrose
yeah, hot water entails loops of tubing gathering solar he4, laid out on the roof.
2:57 am
sprite
right. I believe Rob wants both, for our tiny house. I am just not sure we will have enough roof space for all that. We'll see.
2:58 am
grannyrose
you can have solar panels on the ground honey. might be worth looking at.
2:58 am
sprite
we will not have ground at all. Our tiny house will be a mobile home, no garden or anything.
3:00 am
grannyrose
i wonder if solar panels can be mounted on a pole/s vertically.
3:01 am
sprite
will make sure we will ask, during the workshop. The guy giving it also will answer any emails we will sent after the workshop, with any other questions that may arise. So nice, to have someone who has done a lot of the info gathering work already :D
3:01 am
grannyrose
absolutely
3:08 am
grannyrose
btw, you know the saying... it's like riding a bicycle, one never forgets...
3:09 am
grannyrose
well apparently one can forget.... Don took his bicycle out and fell off it...
3:09 am
grannyrose
in our driveway... loll
3:09 am
sprite
aw poor man! Is he okay?
3:10 am
grannyrose
lots of skin removed from one knee... otherwise fine.

3:11 am
grannyrose
thanx sweetie... passing them on.

3:13 am

I love that dry humor of his.
3:13 am
grannyrose
and my prayers for you both today.... xoxox
3:13 am
sprite
*hugs* to my bestie, and lots of love. Sleep well, darling, and have a grand day tomorrow. Will let you know how things go.
3:14 am
