hiya pe5 :) You are in the grid today!
1:14 am
gapeach

Indeed. A first, I think.
1:15 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning sprite. xoxoxoxoxox
1:15 am
sprite

definitely some time ago, at least.
1:15 am
grannyrose

cooee peach
1:15 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening darling. How was your day?
1:17 am
grannyrose

busy. went and had my CPAP machine checked this morning. in the last fortnight there was one night where my brain did not tell me to breath 4 time, plus an episode of obstructive apnea. scary, huh?
1:17 am
sprite

yes, that is worrisome, sweetie
1:18 am
grannyrose

then this afternoon i had the cortisone injected into the bursa on my left hip.
1:18 am
sprite

ouch ouch ouch
1:18 am
grannyrose

not too bad, if i sit still... lolll
1:19 am
sprite

then, by all means, sit still!
1:20 am
gapeach

Hey there, Rose. How are you?
1:20 am
grannyrose

CPAP tech and i both think my diagnosis should be central sleep apnea, rather than obstructive sleep apnea. plus i am having episodes which the machine is unable to diagnose. and i have the just about every night
1:20 am
sprite

sounds to me like you need to go back to the specialist, rose... oxygen shortages are not a good th5
1:21 am
grannyrose

peach, sitting quietly does not hurt. * giggle* and you dear? how are you doing?
1:21 am
gapeach

Not too bad.....sinus headache most of the day.
1:21 am
grannyrose

ah well sprite. i have a lot of brain ce4s to take over. *grin*
1:22 am
sprite

aw poor pe5... healing vibes to your head
1:22 am
grannyrose

ugh, peach. don has those majorly too. and we have only just begun the spring weather
1:22 am
sprite

rose, no messing around with that brain, please! I need you to use it for another 40 years at least.
1:23 am
gapeach

Thank you, dear one.
1:23 am
grannyrose

oops.... drags my butt into the PB.
1:24 am
sprite

see... already loss of faculties there
1:24 am
grannyrose

*gurgling into glass* hmpffff
1:25 am
sprite

but all kidding aside, rose... you ARE gonna look into it, aren't you? You know how important it is.
1:28 am
grannyrose

sweetie, the CPAP is coping with the episodes. it's just we need to look at the diagnosis. when i had my original study done, and it is only over 2 separate nights,i didn't have any episodes.but the reading from the micro chip in my new machine has given us a heads up. have dr's appt. on friday.
1:28 am
sprite

all good then. As long as you take it really seriously. Apneu is not to be trifled with *stern mama look with crossed arms*
1:30 am
grannyrose

and don't i know it. and if you have any words of wisdom on how to persuade my younger brother to go and have his study done i would love to hear them.
1:30 am
sprite

why isn't 'dethfing' not an alternate spelling of deathwing?
1:30 am
grannyrose

this is the brother who has already had a heart attack and now has stents in his coronary arteries. stubborn as a freakin' mule.
1:31 am
sprite

um... how about: "Shall I come and water you twice daily after you have become an indoor plant?"
1:31 am
grannyrose

i don't know where he gets his stubbornness from... i'm not at all like that. * looks heavenward, innocently*
1:32 am
sprite

yeah right... sure.... hmm-mm... *yes-yes treatment with smile*
1:32 am
grannyrose

*giggling* i luv's ya spritey
1:33 am
sprite

luvsya right back.
1:35 am
sprite

I really have no idea where those last 40 words are hiding, and still biggies there too. This is an odd grid!
1:36 am
grannyrose

it is. the words are twisty alright.
1:36 am
sprite

my kind of grid, alright!
1:38 am
sprite

did we lose pe5? :(
1:38 am
grannyrose

looks like she has gone.
1:39 am
sprite

hope she is ok. Nasty kind of headache.
1:40 am
grannyrose

yeah they are. poor don suffers from them too. plus the trigeminal nerve neuralgia. we still cannot work out how the face neuralgia triggers the shoulder blade pain either.
1:41 am
sprite

could be simply through tensing up?
1:42 am
grannyrose

good thought. next time i might try a baby dose of valium or magnesium.
1:43 am
sprite

yeah, see if that makes a difference. It is impossible not to tense up with pain, and tense muscles can trigger nerve issues. Who knows, would be great if that would help.
1:44 am
grannyrose

absolutely sprite. how was your night, sweetie?
1:44 am
sprite

I slept really well :)
1:45 am
grannyrose

yayayayayayay!!!
1:45 am
sprite

yeah am over the moon too. What a difference that makes :)
1:46 am
grannyrose

and now you feel so much better for once, you will continue to take baby steps, right?
1:46 am
sprite

uhmmmm ouch. Yes. You are right. So hard not to use that energy to the max, isn't it.
1:49 am
grannyrose

exactly. if these cortisone shots work, i will have to be on a short leash.
1:49 am
sprite

*giggles* I'll hold yours if you hold mine
1:50 am
grannyrose

what an interesting concept!!
1:50 am
sprite

I try to picture it. Somehow, I don't think it will work... there is nothing to prevent us from running around together!
1:51 am
grannyrose

yeah.... four hands to do twice the work.
1:52 am
sprite

*grins* on the other hand, we could really inspire eachother to be couch potatoes and watch dvds.
1:52 am
grannyrose

*evil grin* like that idea better.
1:53 am
grannyrose

sprite, are you sitting down?
1:53 am
sprite

I do that in the afternoons these days. Bit of work in the morning, couch potatoe in the afternoon, early to bed in the evening. Being good!
1:53 am
sprite

I am. Shoot.
1:53 am
grannyrose

i suggested don pull off the onion weed leaves and flowers in the hope we can starve the bulbs into eternity. he actually went out and did it.
1:54 am
sprite

o.my.God. Did you check his temp? Not running a fever is he?
1:54 am
grannyrose

AND......he pulled the bulbs out as well. i nearly fainted.
1:55 am
sprite

lovely man. I hope you hugged him and thanked him extensively.
1:56 am
grannyrose

*giggles* ikr? but...he is digging in the heels re line-trimming and mowing. our gardener went and had shoulder surgery last week and he won't be back for 12 weeks.
1:57 am
grannyrose

i actually said to don that he had not better let all the gardener's hard work become undone.
1:57 am
sprite

well, I think he has a point. Sounds like work that might trigger his shoulder nerve issues. Can't you hire a temp boy to just do the heavy work?
1:57 am
grannyrose

hmmmm, good point. i will think about it and see if i can find someone around here.
1:58 am
sprite

should be someone around who'd like to earn a few extra bucks :)
2:00 am
grannyrose

breaking news here....our prime minister is about to be voted out of position by his own cabinet. it's too sad as he is a good man.
2:01 am
sprite

9 left. I love this grid.
2:02 am
grannyrose

oho, now you love it.....and well done.....gooooo sprite
2:03 am
sprite

I do, grin. I like the twisty ones. They do funny things with my brain.
2:03 am
grannyrose

probably unscrambles it....lollll
2:03 am
sprite

roflollllll probably, yes

Hi Judi
12:55 pm
hego

the c's are driving me nuts!
12:55 pm
Judi

You'd think after working somewhere for 18 years, people would leave you alone and not mess with a good thing. Oh no. They have to suddenly start effing up what isn't broken.
12:56 pm
hego

I hate when that happens...
12:57 pm
hego

someone justifying their existence?
12:57 pm
Judi

Our City Administrator thinks it's okay to trample all over our contract and start treating employees like his own little puppets.
12:57 pm
hego

I knew it was a man.
12:59 pm
Judi

Well, I have filed a grievance through the Union. We'll see where it goes. He thinks it's perfectly fine to expect me to do my own full time job and then also work in another city office 3-4 days a week to "help out" another secretary. Huh?
12:59 pm
hego

Wow!
12:59 pm
Judi

I'm so pissed off I could spit nails.
1:00 pm
hego

Spit them at him.
1:00 pm
Judi

All because the City is too cheap to hire another part-time or (God forbid) full time secretary.
1:00 pm
hego

Exactly.
1:01 pm
Judi

I also have seniority over another Secretary (who wasn't even considered before me) - another violation.
1:02 pm
Judi

Sorry to vent, but I know I lean on the very broad shoulders herein.
1:03 pm
hego

No problem at all.
1:03 pm
hego

Let it all out.
1:03 pm
hego

Better than throwing stuff at the boss.
1:04 pm

Believe me, it crossed my mind. I remained civil, but it was a challenge.
1:04 pm
hego

good girl
1:07 pm
rururocks

I guess that's what they mean by a civil servant
1:08 pm

He's taking it literally.

Yeah, that's me.
1:08 pm
rururocks

well I can attest that the DMV is loaded with Uncivil servants

Ha. The DMV - where good souls go to decay.
1:09 pm
rururocks

1:09 pm

Actually ours has gotten to be okay.
1:10 pm

Since the state isn't running it anymore, it's much better.

Actually, our DMV is pretty good here too.

On a lighter note, I am going up to visit Scrabs in Oct.

I stand corrected :)
4:41 pm

True, but most people know it by Mann first and Springsteen second, since Springsteen's version didn't get popular until after Mann's.
