good morning all

{{hugs}} my dearest sprite
1:36 am
sprite

good morning my dear friend :) *hugs* How was your day?
1:37 am
grannyrose

quite nice thanx. the power was off at june's today so we did lunch.
1:37 am
grannyrose

how was your night?
1:38 am
sprite

hehehe good thinking. Will that be in stead of tomorrow, or just as an added bonus?
1:38 am
grannyrose

instead of.....although looking at the menu i nearly wanted to go two days running.
1:39 am
sprite

*giggles* Whachahave?
1:40 am
grannyrose

mashed avovcado on sourdough toast, with poached eggs and smoked salmon. * sigh *
1:40 am
sprite

you can have my avocado and then I will join you :D
1:42 am
grannyrose

going to see the occupational rehab person tomorrow. june says to show her THAT doc's report and say to her this is why i lost my job.
1:42 am
sprite

ugh... ugly vowel grid today! Running out of steam way before halfway. Can I have yesterday's grid back please?
1:43 am
sprite

oh that is perfect. Are you gonna?
1:43 am
grannyrose

aww c'mon sprite. compared to yesterday's this one is a walk in the park, i promise.
1:44 am
grannyrose

sure am. i really don't see how i can be employed by ANYONE after that report.
1:44 am
sprite

no it isn't. Too many vowel words. Too many vowels, period. And yesterday's was very friendly. Hardly slowed down until 44 left or soemthing like that.
1:45 am
sprite

very true, rose. And that report simply puts in writing what we knew all along. And what you suffer on a daily base.
1:49 am
sprite

ok, halfway. Rose, do any of the biggies end in the left bottom corner in that sorta-kinda ending?
1:52 am
grannyrose

not really. a delish ending not used.
1:52 am
sprite

another waste of a perfect good ending :(
1:53 am
sprite

so... how are you feeling, darling, about going tomorrow? Are you stressed?
1:53 am
grannyrose

enough to have angina a few times today.
1:55 am
sprite

yeah. No wonder. It is lousy to have no control over some aspects in your life, and to know some stranger does. But try and breathe through it, darling. You know what you can and cannot do, and so do several doctors by now. Let the occupational hazard read it all and things will be clear.
1:57 am
grannyrose

she wants me to take my resume with me. the last one i had was typed up by robyn, 13 years ago. it isn't on my hard drive any where. i think i have a copy. and you guessed it. it's in a box in the garage. which one...no idea.
1:58 am
sprite

so... don't take it with you. Tell her what you just told me. And tell her you cannot possibly search for some paper in a box in the garage with your handicaps.
2:02 am
grannyrose

oh, sprite. remember in the email i told you how the manary was all fluffed up all day.
2:02 am
sprite

you still with me, darling?
2:02 am
sprite

ah right, sorry, I am impatient, my bad
2:02 am
sprite

yes, I remember :)
2:02 am
grannyrose

the poor little thing was not well, and he died overnight.
2:03 am
sprite

awwwwww omg, that is so sad. So sorry, rose. *hugs*
2:03 am
grannyrose

thanx honey. he had a good life. he was 10 1/2 years old. as don said, he was well cared for.
2:04 am
sprite

he sure was, and he will be remembered as the manary, the canary with the outspoken male personality.
2:04 am
grannyrose

it is the longest i have had a bird survive in my whole life.
2:05 am
sprite

it is amazingly long for such a tiny bird.
2:09 am
grannyrose

still here. *sigh* yet another policeman has shot an unarmed man, who was already on the ground.
2:09 am
grannyrose

in theUSA
2:09 am
sprite

ah
2:10 am
grannyrose

i wish and pray for it all to stop. it's too sad sprite
2:11 am
sprite

not following the news, sweetie, because I cannot handle this kind of thing. Am trying not to add to my nightmare stuff.
2:12 am
grannyrose

i understand de4, and will shut up on the topic. sorry, honey.
2:12 am
sprite

*hugs* luvu!
2:13 am
grannyrose

2:13 am
sprite

is Don going with you, to the occ. hazard girl?
2:14 am
grannyrose

he sure is. he can tell her how i cannot put my compression stocking on. and how he does all the driving because i am so limited in my range.
2:14 am
sprite

omg found the 8/9 all by myself!
2:15 am
grannyrose

yay, sprite. so did i!!
2:15 am
sprite

very good. And he will have to drive you home because you can hardly sit, let alone drive, after such an ordeal.
2:15 am
sprite

woooot well done rose!
2:16 am
grannyrose

absolutely, sprite
2:18 am
sprite

oh and rose.... remember to show that lady the truth. No pushing yourself to your limits, no stiff upper lip... let her see how you are, or she won't be able to judge fairly.
2:19 am
grannyrose

i hear you, sprite. and i'm not taking any magnesium tomorrow either.
2:20 am

I don't mean to preach, just from experience... I know how we are programmed by our narcissistic parent to be strong and resilient and all. Plus we have learned to not show any weakness. This kind of examination is extremely hard on us.

good move. Take some magnesium with you, and a bottle of water, for afterwards in the car :)

june and i charity shopped today. three shops in all. last one we couldn't park near and is it was near level ground i thought i would try walking to and from it. it nearly killed me. june says it was about 250 meters all told.
2:23 am
grannyrose

now i am soooo stiff and sore. all preparatory for tomorrow.
2:24 am
sprite

aw my poor darling. Am sorry you are in pain :(
2:26 am
sprite

but it is a good thing you can show her how it is. And that you know exactly how much walk is too much... almost any.
2:27 am
grannyrose

it was roughly what would be expected of me from my parked car to my work station inside a building. i don't think any boss is gonna like it if i arrive, and say sorry, need to take endone and sit quietly for an hour.
2:27 am
sprite

as long as you take endone, you shouldn't be on any workfloor, to be honest.
2:27 am

well, duh, ya think??

2:29 am

I have worked for about a year that way. Going from parking spot to my desk was about all I could manage on a day. Then still several hours of work, back all the way to my car, then drive home. It is a miracle I didn't end up a statistic.
2:31 am
grannyrose

well i am not doing it. this mob just have to understand how much pain i am in. and if they make an issue about my weight, i will sweetly inform them that before i fell i had lost 37 kg, and was still losing.
2:31 am
sprite

indeed, rose. Another thing they should pay for. You were doing so well before that fall.
2:33 am
grannyrose

and the inactivity following the fall and surgery, and now the nerve damage, all those things have helped with my weight gain. i was back to running before i fell. at work, i was on the emergency response team. and you didn't just saunter along the corridor i can tell you.
2:34 am
sprite

I remember, my friend. You were really getting back on your feet in every way back then. We all were happy for you, knowing all the pain and other stuff you had gone through. And then that fall. And the rotten attitude of your work.
2:35 am
grannyrose

water under the bridge, sprite. i want to move on, but these people will not let me.
2:36 am
sprite

that is why I feel so strongly about your lawyer putting his foot down. Enough is enough. Each and every examination they force on you is something else that holds you back from moving on and leaving this behind you.
2:38 am
grannyrose

and I WAS back at work, doing my level best, asking for help, when everything was snatched away from me. and they are carrying on like it's my fault and i am dragging the lead with returning to work.
2:39 am
sprite

yes, exactly. So it is about freakin' time they stop obstructing and start paying up.

2:44 am
grannyrose

you probably would have done it in half the time without me yakking at you the whole time.
2:45 am
sprite

nah I wouldn't. First of all I would have kept on looking for sorta-kinda kinda words. And I wouldn't have enjoyed my stay as much and would have moved on to other stuff :D
2:46 am

um.... the surgeon meeting...
2:50 am

oh yeah. are you excited? or more nervous? is Cobi going with you?
2:51 am
sprite

no, Rob is going with me. Am more nervous than excited. But not too extreme. I do have faith that things will go as is best for me.
2:52 am
grannyrose

will pray for you. how many hours from now is your appointment?
2:53 am
sprite

5 and a half. You will be sound asleep by then :)
2:54 am

well i'll pray anyway, and the Man upstairs on your case.
2:55 am

thank you :D
2:55 am

gosh, i really must try and slow down when typing. i am typing faster than my brain is thinking.
2:56 am

don't worry about it, I can easily insert the words that get lost in space
2:56 am

or vice versa. whatever the reason is behind me missing words when i am typing.

Last year, ruby, spring came so early that the mosquitoes had 2 full hatching's instead of one:(

You reach a point where you look back on all your worries, all your fears, all your night terrors, and find that the worry, and the anguish did not change the outcome of your existence one jot or iota. We owe the universe even as we are born, and the bill comes due no matter how we strive to think otherwise. the best we can do between now and then is let the past lie buried, avoid fearing some unknown future and living the best today we possibly can, and in so doing pray that we influence those around us for the better. In that way we gain a measure of immortality on that day our debt to the universe comes due.... lol... I have been doing way too much creative writing!
