Hiya Sprite! Long time! Hope you're doing ok with your feet.
1:21 am
sprite
night night melon
1:21 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* That is definitely been a long time! How are you doing?
I am good, ankle slowly getting better and better.
1:23 am
Kamanjah
We're doing ok. Went up to Sacramento last night for a concert Michael wanted to see. I had never heard of Hot Tuna, but definitely had heard of the two musicians. Excellent talent.
1:24 am
sprite
how lovely! And great that he is able to go and enjoy that now.
1:25 am
Kamanjah
He started the Rock Steady boxing program and is loving the workouts. His balance is so much better!
1:25 am
sprite
wow! Good for him!
1:26 am
sprite
and how are you doing nowadays? All healed up from the bad fall?
1:27 am
Kamanjah
I'm pretty sure I cracked my eye socket - it's still sore if I touch it the wrong way. But there's nothing visible left, yay!
1:28 am
Kamanjah
Did Rob get a job that he's happy with yet? I know he was looking and trying to work within the existing situation too.
1:28 am
sprite
still not let it check out by your doctor??? Oh Kam...
1:28 am
Kamanjah
Doc says he thinks I'm ok, but we have made a bunch of other changes in supplements that are really helping me.
1:29 am
sprite
no, he is still in the process of looking. Working with job coaches, temping with possible work places. It is taxing.
1:31 am
Kamanjah
Know you are both in my thoughts even when I'm not on here. I finally got tired of watching TV and am back online in the evenings.
1:31 am
sprite
same here, honey, you are always in my prayers and often in my thoughts. Glad to see you again, though.
1:32 am
Kamanjah
How are you liking living in the caravan?
1:33 am
sprite
it is the best ever. Best decision we made. We love it. Some things lacking which we will have in our tiny house, but otherwise we love the simplicity of it all.
1:35 am
sprite
*protest!* seamen but not their female counterparts???
1:36 am
Kamanjah
I'm so happy to hear! One of our dear friends is downsizing now and has decided to travel for a few months. Her place went on the market and sold the same day! She was shocked, and is stressing over all of the stuff from nearly 30 years of living in the same place.
1:36 am
Kamanjah
Enable is just outdated, haha
1:37 am
sprite
too true :)
1:38 am
sprite
it was about that fast for us as well. Tell her to have faith. Once she has worked through it all and 'll have thrown out about 95%, she'll be amazed at how much peace it brings, and how much 'room' in her head.
1:41 am
Kamanjah
I'm trying to give her all the support I can from afar - she's on the other side of the mountain - only about 3 hours, but it's a drive. She's already starting to feel the freedom - and the fears of letting go. She'll be so much happier away from her current locale - the "hood" has gotten very rough.
1:42 am
sprite
maybe it will help if you tell her that we got rid of 95%, stored the rest, and are now finding that of that last 5%, we are not missing half!
1:44 am
Kamanjah
I'll pass that tidbit on to her. She's already afraid she'll have to get a second storage unit. She does want to hang on to her furniture, but she's even looking into rehoming her dog! I wish I could take him, but Blaze tore his ACL and can't be running all over the place until he gets better.
1:45 am
sprite
same with clothes. I threw out most, then when we went through it again changing from winter to summer clothes, I threw out about half again.
1:45 am
sprite
better keep the dog and let the furniture go. I am serious.
1:47 am
Kamanjah
I tend to agree with you about the dog! She kind of ended up with him accidentally, but he is a sweetie - a lab/Rottie mix, huge dog.
1:48 am
sprite
fireflies. Kam, it was lovely to catch up with you! *hugs*
*leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
1:48 am
Kamanjah
I told her to try the "does it bring me joy?" thing from Marie Kondo, but she said it wasn't working for her. I've found it easier to toss stuff when I think about what I'm considering tossing...it goes in the trash or recycle pretty fast.
1:48 am
Kamanjah
Take care, sweetie! *Hugs*
2:04 am

woosh, if I kept the things that bring me joy, I wouldn't be able to walk around in here.
