good morning all
4:22 am
grannyrose

*struggles in* {{hugs}} my dearest sprite. gosh, i feel ghastly.
4:23 am
sprite

*hold rose in a warm hug* My poor darling. Am so sorry you feel rotten. Call doc John first thing tomorrow, ok?
4:24 am
grannyrose

i am absolutely freezing. it is cold, but as you know i don't feel the cold.
4:25 am
grannyrose

btw, i think i have found a way around this stupid return to work thingy.
4:25 am
sprite

nope, this is cold that comes with feeling rotten. Not easily remedied.
4:26 am
sprite

oh good! Please tell me.
4:26 am
grannyrose

my doc, being truthful says i do have some capacity to work. i can sit and i can use my hands. but what if she also wrote a medical cerrtificate to say i am too unwell to work?
4:26 am
sprite

that sounds good to me. And exactly the truth.
4:27 am
sprite

if doc John would be willing to do the same, your case would be a lot stronger.
4:27 am
grannyrose

yeah, i think so too. both certificates tell the truth. workcover will have to accept the truth.
4:27 am
grannyrose

have already thought of that * grin *
4:28 am
sprite

hehehe great minds...
4:28 am
grannyrose

as i keep saying i am simply not well enough to work.
4:29 am
sprite

I remember I found that one of the toughest things in the whole process. The amount of 'whining' you have to do before they take you seriously. While your normal attitude is to downplay any weakness you find in yourself.
4:31 am
grannyrose

muscles still achy, i think i might take some paracetamol as well.
4:32 am
sprite

darling, if things are bad enough to make you very nauseated and cold, you should take anything that can help. Don't forget your magnesium.
4:35 am
grannyrose

don just felt my face. i am burning up.
4:36 am
sprite

ok, not to sound silly or anything... but could it be you have some virus going on there?
4:36 am
jaxx7

Rose, it sounds as if you need some serious hand holding today.
4:36 am
grannyrose

that's what i am wondering.
4:37 am
sprite

hi jaxx :) Yes, she does, doesn't she
4:37 am
grannyrose

aww jaxx. i have had one of spritey's hugs.
4:38 am
jaxx7

Sounds like a virus to me. Not a lot to be done but keep warm, rest and lots of fluids. As for me I have knobbly nodules!
4:39 am
grannyrose

on the thyroid, jaxx?
4:39 am
sprite

aw that is so very unpleasant.
4:39 am
jaxx7

Indeed. Some have cysts in them.
4:41 am
grannyrose

poor jaxx. i just have the nodules. no cysts as yet. what is your doc's plan?
4:42 am
jaxx7

Will see him on the 22nd. I will be able to tell you more then. meanwhile we keep holding hands.
4:43 am
sprite

*hugs jaxx* all that waiting, huh... awful.
4:43 am
grannyrose

np's jaxx. * takes firmer grip on jaxx's hand*
4:43 am
grannyrose

sprite, what is on your agenda for today?
4:44 am
jaxx7

Jaxx holds on to Rose's hand and wishes her better soon.
4:44 am
grannyrose

oh, gosh. don has brought his dinner in here. i am trying to n ot smell it.
4:44 am
sprite

a little less than I planned, probably. My body is protesting the gardening I did yesterday. So.. dusting... laundry... shopping... cooking dinner.
4:44 am
sprite

oh sweetheart, please tell him to eat somewhere else.
4:45 am
jaxx7

Much as you love them, men can be so dense sometimes.
4:45 am
sprite

amen, sister
4:46 am
grannyrose

keep talking....ugh..... the smell of meat....
4:47 am
grannyrose

please do't overdo it darling. just the bare essentials. xoxox
4:47 am
sprite

I really want to get my berry bushes in the ground. Stupid body.
4:47 am
grannyrose

how has the boyo been behaving?
4:48 am
sprite

*smug side note: greyed out the right column*
4:48 am
grannyrose

*giggles* what all those words ??? my... how clever you are...
4:48 am
jaxx7

I will be off, ladies. time to go and vote. Not that I have decided who to vote for. Look after yourselves and, Sprite, take a rest the bushes will still be there tomorrow. Bye for now.
4:49 am
sprite

bye jaxx, all the best!
4:49 am
grannyrose

xoxox jaxx. i hope you can enjoy your day.
4:49 am
sprite

I know, rose, I know... I am so smart I astound myself :D
4:49 am
jaxx7

it will be quiet after the hype of the last month.
4:50 am
grannyrose

jaxx, do you HAVE to vote? is it compulsory?
4:53 am
grannyrose

sprite ?? do you know ?? is it compulsory to vote in the UK ?
4:53 am
sprite

roflolllll my son is singing. He couldn't carry a tune if it came in a bucket. But it sounds so happy.
4:53 am
sprite

no I don't think so, rose.
4:54 am
grannyrose

oh, gosh. how lovely, sprite.
4:54 am
grannyrose

what language is he singing in??
4:55 am

We got a call from our vet yesterday. Our almost 13 year old cat, Duchess, who had surgery for mammary cancer just after her 10th birthday (with a prognosis of 22 months survival rate) had a biopsy last week. Results are in. It was malignant, but no indication of metastasis. We have chosen not to have her undergo a complete mastectomy, with the full and unqualified support of the vet.

We are just going to keep caring for her and checking her periodically as we have beeb doing. It just breaks my hearrt, but I do not believe she should be put through major surgery at this point. The vet said Duchess and her sisters are very lucky to live in our home, with people who love them so much and take such good care of them. We have virtually every medical record all of these cats have ever had. The vet said she has never seen anyone keep such meticulous records for pets.

She was catching up on some last-minute assignments, and I said "If you wish, I will edit that for you for grammar and readability," and she replied "No, thank you. I do not edit;I just type it out and hand it in. I cannot be bothered with going over something twice." This from a 22 year-old student.. Had to shake my head and walk away after her not getting the idea after several attempts on my part;(

In grade school we had those big, fat writing pencils, and you had to earn a pen by showing proper writing skills

I don't think we had to pick up pens until 4th or 5th grade. Pencils, crayons, chalk. Hmm. Never really thought much about it.

yes - but a ball point was definitely better than a bunch of smeared lines on a page. Even with the ball point my hand would be blue along the edge

My first grade teacher tied my left hand behind my chair back. My mother finally came up and said the I would teach myself how to write left handed.

... we were using fountain pens to start grade five in 1959 ... but about the end of the school year they came up with an inexpensive ball point for everyone ... ... before that a ballpoint pen would set you back at least 4$ so fountain pens with liquid ink made more economic sense

we had Maclean's Method in Canada -- probably the same thing

lefties would have the ability to fire their weapons at angles, and in positions that righties would find awkward.

When my beloved writes, for example, the page is almost up-side-down. Do not know how she does it.

yes she is, and feeling more pain than she'd like...She's never been good at it, and the PT is done with much complaint. The good news is that her xray today showed good healing, despite what she says.
6:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

that is good news. it is a very bad injury, good healing is a blessing.

is?
7:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

how long till you had relief? i have pain.
7:09 pm

I suffer from bursiis in both kness,and was on glucosamine for a bit. I found the benefits to be negligable. Perhaps i was too impatient. Some people tell me that it can be as long as two months bwfore any real changes are noticed.

Like the auto correct on my iPad - I know I can turn it off but sometimes it's useful.
7:36 pm
crosshair

Doing lots of hiking instead. Perhaps i can lise some weight,add more muscle, and take some of the load off the knees. It is tough going sometimes though. My poor knees feel hot today:(
7:37 pm
Lizlin

Hiking sounds like serious stuff. We enjoy walking. Perhaps there's some enjoyable exercise less heavy on the knees?
7:39 pm
crosshair

By hiking, i mean lonf walks in the wood. I am nt bringing a huge back pack or anything,just wter and snacks.terrain is a bit up and down though
7:40 pm
Lizlin

OK - that sounds like fun - sort of stuff we do in our hinterland (rainforest area) though I do prefer walking on the beach, feet in the water.
7:42 pm
crosshair

We have to leve the beach for the tourist this time of year and hit the forests om the mountain to get away from rhe crowds and commercialism
7:42 pm
Lizlin

Our beaches are lovely all year - even in the height of summer, there's enough space that you can walk without seeing too many other people.
7:42 pm
crosshair

You can see a few pics on my web site of where we like to go
7:43 pm
Lizlin

But right now we're getting into winter and there are few people on the beach and it's really fantastic.
7:43 pm

I've done some of your woodland jigsaws :) Really beautiful.

I also haven't added anything recently though I've probably got some nice pics from New Zealand. I'll have to look when I have a minute.

(((bugs))) yes, hope to see you soon. Right now the house is a total mess... the yard isn't much better. But it will improve, I just need to get through this particular trying time (another week and then the rest goes back to normal). I detest testing.
9:05 pm

9:08 pm

I always tell kids that tests are just like doing your assignments or your homework. If you have done all the work in the first place, a test won't have anything new
9:08 pm
stidmama

well... that's okay then. show up any time. we will shovel boxes of school supplies off the furniture so you can sit, and maybe we can organize. I am not a "hoarder" and have strong organizational skills... but all my run-time this year went to planning lessons and preparing materials rather than keeping things organized. The two hours daily of commuting ate into the available energy.
9:08 pm
stidmama

YAY JB!!!! see you soon!!!!
9:09 pm
Bugsaw

commuting takes more out of you that you realize. I hope you can sleep a lot this summer
9:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

two hours to commute? OMG
9:10 pm
stidmama

I hope so too -- thinking right now that teaching summer school might not be a good idea, if we even have summer school (legislature is in extra session to fix the school funding issues).
9:10 pm
stidmama

Well, about an hour each way, gwen -- but that is going to be the case almost anywhere I teach if the local school 12 minutes away doesn't hire me.
9:10 pm
Bugsaw

If you asked me, I would advise you to use the summer months to replenish your spirit. You will last longer in the long run
9:13 pm
stidmama

That is what I am (reluctantly) thinking, bugs -- going to really need that time to replenish my soul, get ready for next school year and just visit with friends.
9:14 pm
Bugsaw

Kids and parents need good teachers to stay year after year. If you burn yourself out too soon it would be so sad
9:15 pm

Finito. I can try to offer lousy clues if you are wanting any
