good morning all
2:20 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. good morning dear. how are you today?
2:20 am
sprite

*hugs rose* am ok, darling. And you?
2:21 am
grannyrose

ditto, hun. haven't done much today. the paperwork has st5ed to arrive. it is really doing my head in.
2:22 am
sprite

aw sweetie :( That is so nasty, isn't it. Too much, and too complicated, and too much confrontation with everything that is wrong about the whole situation. Am so sorry. Can your union rep help? Or the lawyer?
2:23 am
grannyrose

there's a 50 page questionnaire for the disability support pension. and now the lawyer has sent me paperwork for workcover. but...i have filled out and returned my exit papers for my ex-employer, and signed and posted the authority forms for release of my medical reports to lawyer.
2:24 am
sprite

good job, dear friend. You are coming out on top as usual. *hugs*
2:25 am
grannyrose

i said todon, i will just have to tackle it a few pages at a time. that's all i can handle. my brain shuts down, and if he tries to push me i get snaky.
2:27 am
sprite

yeah, the last thing you need is to be pushed. Your pace, not his. Your brain shutting down is your system telling you enough is enough. I really think you should do this with somebody to help you.
2:28 am
grannyrose

i was wondering about that. i think if don was beside me, i would probably draw strength from that. and he can do all the jumping up and down, fetching the information i need.
2:29 am
sprite

yep, that would be great. And tell him up front that when you say STOP, it means stop and the session is over until you say it is time to start again.
2:30 am
grannyrose

it's quite funny really. as it's my disability which is preventing me from just getting on with it.
2:31 am
sprite

ikr! It was the same for me. Driving me absolutely bananas. Had to prove I couldn't do certain things anymore... by doing them. Yeah, right. God help us all.
2:32 am
grannyrose

oh, and we have worked out why the manary wouldn't sit on his perches. the shell-grit covered one hurt his feet, and the plain plastic ones were to slippery. i have covered those ones with sand-paper covers, and now he is sitting up high in his cage trilling his little heart out.
2:33 am
sprite

awwww he is happy :) Good detective work, that.
2:34 am
grannyrose

lol...don thinks he was afraid of falling off the plain plastic perches...i mean...it gives a whole new meaning to falling off your perch...
2:35 am

2:40 am
grannyrose

sprite?? have you heard from pugs yet?
2:40 am
sprite

no sweetie. I think she is beat from driving up and down there.
2:42 am
grannyrose

probably so. i'm just concerned a little. it's so unlike her to not even drop a line or two to us.
2:42 am
sprite

yes it is. Am worried too.
2:42 am
grannyrose

maybe i'll email her again.
2:43 am
sprite

we can do that, and let her know that just a single line will do for now :)
2:43 am
sprite

Just to know she is safe.
2:47 am
grannyrose

done

pugs was here a few games ago, remember? she chatted with zooz and said to tell us all was okay.
2:49 am
sprite

yes, but that was before driving all the way back home
2:49 am
grannyrose

but it's not the same as hearing it from her own sweet hands.
2:50 am
grannyrose

ahhhh. that makes sense...
2:50 am
sprite

no, we need our pugs back
2:51 am
grannyrose

must remember to ask her what babble time she is here nowadays. maybe we can time it to be here too.
2:51 am
sprite

yes, that would be good
2:51 am
grannyrose

whoever sees her first, asks, right?
2:52 am
sprite

will do
2:52 am
grannyrose

2:53 am
sprite

2:53 am
grannyrose

oh, i am so not touching that one....roflol
2:54 am

2:56 am
grannyrose

oh, sprite. i think don is losing it. we drove all the way to the bank so he could withdraw some cash, only for him to discover he had left his cards at home. * sigh * i think i will have to type up a check list for him, and put it next to the front door.
2:56 am

3:08 am
grannyrose

sorry, i had to dash...my gut is still playing up. btw, sprite, did you manage to find the immodium?
3:08 am
Lizlin

Of course! Straight from my phone.
3:09 am
grannyrose

lol....with don and i in the pic, we had better use a wide-angle lens...
3:09 am
Lizlin

Is that a reaction to. N
3:09 am
sprite

oh that is so nasty, am so sorry rose. Yes, I have the immodium. Just holding off taking it until I have seen the specialist and asked.
3:09 am
Lizlin

is that a reaction to new medication? Unpleasant for you.
3:10 am
sprite

cut it out, rose. You guys are beautiful the way you are. Won't be a problem for any camera.
3:10 am
grannyrose

okay, sprite. of course, it is wisest to make sure it is okay for you to take.
3:10 am
grannyrose

liz, a reaction to stress.
3:10 am
Lizlin

Like sprite said, Rose!
3:11 am
Lizlin

Nasty whatever.
3:12 am
grannyrose

3:12 am
Lizlin

How did your weekend clear up go, sprite?
3:12 am
sprite

yes, especially because we are going to look into the whole incontinence thing. Wouldn't want to muddle the waters. Muddle? Um... not sure of the word.
3:12 am

3:13 am
sprite

Liz, you wouldn't believe how much stuff we have thrown out. Clothes, garbage, books. So much. My own room isn't done yet, but we made a huge dent in it all.
3:13 am
sprite

ah, that was it. Muddy the waters. Lol. Thank you. Brb, got a potty to break ;)
3:14 am

3:23 am
grannyrose

liz, the brick chimney which backs in4 the laundry have been rendered with plaster. we * insert he * have to remove that before we can take any more bricks down.
3:24 am
Lizlin

Sounds like a lot of work. Did you finally lose the battle to get in workmen?
3:25 am
grannyrose

yup...don is firm in his resolution to do it all himself. but i have told him...if we get to 2 years....i am calling in a builder, no matter what.
3:26 am
Lizlin

Or if it causes too much pain
3:26 am
grannyrose

yeah, that too. he has severe arthritis like me, poor man.
3:26 am

3:28 am

3:28 am

*sends rose a footlocker for don*
3:29 am
Lizlin

Hubby hurt his back last time in the roof. Went in4 spasm, so def won't do it again. He doesn't want to and I won't let him.

I'm good Rose. How are you managing?
4:04 am
grannyrose

dianne, still hanging in there. physically, coasting. but i have been deluged with paperwork. it is doing my head in....lol
4:05 am
Dianne

I imagine the paper work is difficult but even more so is that it makes you continually think about what happened to you.
4:10 am
grannyrose

dianne...it is part of my disability...i try to complete the paperwork, and then my brain shuts down. * sigh * i will get there...it might take a little longer than other people.
4:11 am
grannyrose

and my lawyer is on the move....lol....i have to be proud of him...
4:11 am
Dianne

Well, you just keep plugging away (at your own speed) and get this all done so you can get on with the good stuff that is ahead for you.
4:12 am
grannyrose

absolutely, dianne...i hear you
4:12 am
Dianne

Rose, have you ever heard of freezing a baked potato?
4:13 am
grannyrose

yes, dianne. we have frozen roast vegs available in our supermarkets.
4:14 am
grannyrose

i don't think it would be crunchy, like a freshly cooked one.
4:15 am
Dianne

I am going to do that. I am making baked potatoes tonight and need to "use them or lose them" so I'll freeze the excess and see how they are when thawed.
4:16 am
grannyrose

perhaps, when you thaw them, warm them up in the microwave oven, the give them a quick fry in the frying pan to crisp them up.
4:17 am
Dianne

Good idea - thanks
4:20 am
zoozzoom

If you have any whole jacket potato left you can leave them to go cold.Then scoop out the white flesh put them in4 a freezer bag .Freeze both as normal.Then when it comes to re-using .just pop the potato skin into oven for about 5-10 mins to crisp up and thawed out flesh back inside.Almost good as new :-)
4:21 am
grannyrose

wow, zooz....and g'day, mate
4:21 am

Hello everyone :-)
