cos, never turn down a new opportunity, at least give it a chance so you can see the possibilities, either in going to Vegas for win/win or for employment upgrades... You know what feels right for you in your own skin, you have to make those choices... but if there's an opportunity to make and keep a step up? *shrug* don't be afraid to do it... Ok, mawmaw is stepping down (I think) now, lol.

1:23 am
sprite
*hugs peach* I am okay. Slept well, makes a lot of difference. How are you doing today?
1:24 am
gapeach
Oh, glad you are feeling better. I'm ok, still have the dizziness but so far I can get around. How is the weather there?
1:26 am
sprite
still crazy. Almost every night thunderstorms. Lots of rain. In between bouts of cold and severe hail. And then again a couple of hours of heat.
1:27 am
sprite
sorry the dizziness is still giving you hell. But glad to hear you can move around a bit anyway.
1:29 am
gapeach
I think it crazy everywhere. Well, hon, I'm not going to try this grid....just wanted to say "Hi" and see how you are doing.....think I'll watch some TV....take care and will talk with you later...blessings.

can you believe that woman? Lying in wait until I am leaving :D
2:05 am
sprite
so... how was the ballet?
2:05 am
grannyrose
yup.... {{{hugs sprite}}}}
2:05 am
grannyrose
unbelievably beautiful.
2:06 am
sprite
am so glad! Did your sidekick lady enjoy herself too?
2:06 am
grannyrose
we were in a box, quite high up. perfect view of the stage.
2:07 am
grannyrose
Kerry? oh yeah... i tried to make it complete for her. bought her lunch etc and a program.
2:07 am
sprite
aww you are the very best
2:07 am
grannyrose
the same ballerina in the lead role danced the entire ballet
2:08 am
grannyrose
and the lead male danseur was the son of a surgeon who i used to work with.
2:08 am
sprite
that is pretty intense. GOod for her!
2:09 am
grannyrose
or with whom i used to work.... take your pick
2:10 am
sprite
oh wow. Will you let daddy know he can be proud of his son?
2:10 am
grannyrose
what is on for you today? i see you had a reasonable night. how wonderful is that?
2:11 am
grannyrose
*giggle* last i heard daddy was retiring.
2:12 am
grannyrose
surgeon was such an ozzy bloke. he once told me i was a terrific sheila... loll
2:12 am
sprite
very. Am less down immediately, shows how important a bit of undisturbed sleep can be. Not doing much of anything today. Walking Terra, washing dishes, a bit of diamond painting. I need downtime, lots of relaxation needed here.
2:12 am
sprite
lolllll oh lovely.
2:13 am
grannyrose
good for you honey. i hope you can relax and enjoy your day. what's the weather forecast?
2:14 am
sprite
right now it is storming. More thunderstorms expected. Some hail and lots of rain. It is very autumny here atm.
2:15 am
grannyrose
ugh.... and i specifically told Him upstairs to send sunshine... loll
2:17 am
sprite
I guess someone else's needs take precedence, lol. It's okay, I am learning to relax into it, accept the fact the low air pressure makes me ill. When I stop pushing myself to function as if all is well, things are not as bad.
2:17 am
grannyrose
don has pulled the tablet phone he bought me out of the cupboard. i can use the keypad okay on it. now don't get too excited....
2:17 am
sprite
how's the Donster doing? How's the cough?
2:18 am
grannyrose
cough is on the improve at last.
2:18 am
sprite
praise be. For the both of you.
2:18 am
grannyrose
oh yeah. i hear you sista.
2:19 am
grannyrose
i just wish everything didn't have to be sooo LOUD.
2:19 am
sprite
I finished the lynx, it is so beautiful. Hard to part from. I will send you a pic.
2:20 am
grannyrose
i swear.... if you wake up in the night, it's because Don has just sneezed.
2:20 am
sprite
ain't that the truth? He has no awareness at ALL about how much noise he makes. None.
2:20 am
grannyrose
wow ! really ? or are you just making that up? lolll
2:21 am
sprite
*giggles* I have been a witness to it.
2:21 am
grannyrose
lolll, last year on our return home on our annual church bus trip, he yawned so loudly the whole bus heard him.
2:22 am
sprite
and still no awareness, lol. Unaware and totally oblivious. And still we love him.
2:22 am
grannyrose
he woke everyone up... loll
2:23 am
grannyrose
including the driver...
2:23 am
sprite
hmmmm that was a good thing, though.
2:24 am
grannyrose
yeah i suppose it was...*giggle*
2:24 am
sprite
and you, sweetie? How are you holding up, pre infusion?
2:24 am
grannyrose
doing a bit better today. i think the ballet did it for me.
2:25 am
sprite
being touched by beauty is so very healing
2:25 am
grannyrose
i went to gm this morning. have added a new exercise. i am using a gym machine now, not weights, to do my arm exercises.
2:26 am
sprite
sounds good! I love your courage, honey. Go for it!
2:29 am
grannyrose
loll, the fellas in the class have been watching my progress and are starting to show some interest in using the machine. i may have started something.
2:30 am
sprite
as you always do. You are an inspiration, for so many people.
2:30 am
grannyrose
i mean, how can they stand there using weights while a WOMAN is using the gym machine... *giggle* male ego's are rampant.
2:31 am
grannyrose
what a lovely thing to say, sprite. thank-you.
2:31 am
sprite
tis the truth
2:33 am
grannyrose
i do love how my elderly neighbour comes in and tells me how much she is loving church and our activities. she says she prays every night. and she loves the thought that she can talk to God and our LOrd whenever she wants.
2:34 am
sprite
aw that is precious. Such a difference between an awareness of a distant God or a realisation of how close He is and how very personally interested in us.
2:35 am
grannyrose
yes honey. too true.
2:36 am
sprite
you know that OA (all 12 step programs, actually) bring about that same change. My relation with the Big Guy is growing more intense all the time.
2:36 am
grannyrose
that is so wonderful to see, sweetheart.
2:38 am
jwr
just popping in on my way to work -- Rose, you have the right idea using the machine instead of the weights --- I believe that is better for women's muscles ... curvy rather than bulgy. That's all. I'm gone.
2:38 am
sprite
*hugs jwr on her way through*
2:38 am
grannyrose
lolll...jwr. you are one heck of a person.
2:39 am
sprite
I couldn't agree more
2:42 am
grannyrose
don just asked me, rather hopefully, if i wanted my SIM card put into the tablet. not ready quite yet. maybe soon.
2:43 am
sprite
please do, soon, sweetie. We will be able to chat so much more freely. And we can play wordgames together. Can you imagine? It is gonna be so much fun.
2:44 am
grannyrose
i know, honey, i know. but wouldn't i need data turned on ?
2:45 am
sprite
yes. Or Don must install wifi for you guys at home. You may already have it, I do not know. With wifi, you can play and chat for free.
2:48 am
grannyrose
i see *she says blindly*
2:48 am
sprite
leave it to Don. All you need to do is learn how to work with a smartphone or tablet. You will be fin.
2:52 am
grannyrose
*sigh* but but but....
2:53 am
sprite
don't but me no buts, girl. I need my sister. And you need me. Make the technology work for you, change is good for us.
2:53 am
grannyrose
oh yeah, that reminds me... need to change.....
2:56 am
grannyrose
knickers? nope. seats? nope. husband? nope.
2:56 am
sprite
or change into your nightie :D
2:56 am
grannyrose
lipstick? nope. doctors? nope.
2:58 am

I am going to hug you goodbye for now. Time to make myself coffee and a bit of breakfast. *hugs and lots of love* And also a hug for the Donster... and one extra for you alone.
2:58 am

check with your vet for local sitters. our neighbor does that - goes around to care for dogs while people are on vacation - walks them, etc.
5:07 pm

Not to defend myself or anything but I did have a plan. Sometimes the universe doesn't always go the way you want it to.
5:07 pm

I'm sorry your plan didn't work out. Good suggestion from wvteach.
5:09 pm

Yeah, our vet has a list of pet/house sitters too.
