1:15 am

sprite

stiddie!!!!!!!!!! *HUGS* how are you, darling?

1:15 am

sprite

oh wow, nice going there

1:16 am

stidmama

I would be better if the air quality weren't so bad -- cybernan and bugsaw and jillibus and flosey have sent their fire-smoke all the way down to us! We're 300+ miles away!!! ;-)

1:16 am

stidmama

how are you? no allergies due to smoke I hope?

1:16 am

gapeach

mkg, how are you doing with the ou's?

1:17 am

I am fine. No allergies, no smoke ;)

1:17 am

sprite

hiya peach *hug* How are you?

1:17 am

stidmama

thanks sprite *breathing lovely clean air again*

1:17 am

flosey

hmmm, what fire smoke??? have not seen a thing - or even a scent!!

1:17 am

stidmama

hey peach

1:17 am

gapeach

Hey there, sprite!!!

1:18 am

gapeach

And Stidmama!!!

1:19 am

stidmama

oooh -- I am glad flosey, was afraid it was also wafting over your lovely island! (((hugs)))

1:20 am

gapeach

Hi sptite. Some days are diamonds and some are freaking rocks. LOL Today was somewhere in between. How about you?

1:20 am

flosey

sorry to hear that though Stid, can be quite oppressive

1:21 am

sprite

I am fine, peach, life is good atm. You are in my daily prayers. Glad you get to collect some diamond days!

1:21 am

stidmama

Life is good, peach -- looking forward to my fourth year teaching third graders (we start in four weeks).

1:23 am

stidmama

and I am suddenly just falling over from sleepiness. *sad mama look* I want to stay up and play, but ... I think I have to do some adulting tomorrow... ((((((hugs all)))))) Tom and I made blueberry cakes this evening, so will leave some in the PB in case they are needed. Have a wonderful day/evening all! *poof*

1:24 am

sprite

sleep well, stiddie. Lovely to have seen you. *hugs*

1:24 am

flosey

hugs Stid, good to hear from you

1:25 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, spite. I don't hear much from anyone....in a way that is not really a bad thing and in another way it is. I've turned it over to God. Just when I think I'm through crying ....I find that I'm not. Thank you for all the prayers.

1:26 am

sprite

I often find it is the only thing we can do... turn it over to God. May He be with you every step of the way (and He is).

1:27 am

gapeach

Bless you, sprite.

1:29 am

gapeach

I think I'll watch TV for awhile....I'll try to come back later.

1:29 am

sprite

blessings, peach, and *hugs*

1:31 am

1:32 am

sprite

1:33 am

flosey

2:12 am

flosey

have never had pear cider - only apple

2:14 am

sprite

they have both here now in the grocery store. I prefer the crisp apple, but the pear is good too.

2:14 am

grannyrose

sprite, you would have been amazed. i helped to cater for a funeral at our church, with 90 attendees. i was almost running and on my feet for nearly 2 hours non-stop. no pain except for a spasm in lower back which disappeared with valium.

2:15 am

sprite

omg rose, that is amazing! Looks like the journey was really good for you. And the right combination of infusions and a maintenance dose of endone.

2:15 am

flosey

wow Rose, good for you

2:16 am

grannyrose

everyone who sees me for the first time in a while is stunned and say how well i look.

2:17 am

sprite

am so happy for you, darling. You deserve it so much to feel good and be able to do stuff.

2:17 am

grannyrose

and i feel good too. i am actually eating breakfast everyday.... plain greek yoghurt and a serve of fresh fruit salad.

2:17 am

flosey

aha, the trip was good for you Rose

2:17 am

sprite

breakfast is so important. You are inspiring, rose. I will try harder.

2:17 am

flosey

that's a good breakfast

2:17 am

grannyrose

i wish and pray for the same for you sprite.

2:18 am

sprite

thanks darling. I can't complain, life is good.

2:19 am

flosey

and now FW - and off to bed, see you all tomorrow - same time............

2:19 am

grannyrose

i cut up a container of fresh fruit, enough for 4 days, and add a small amount of banana when i serve it. i find it 'sticks' to my ribs, so to speak

2:19 am

sprite

wtg flosey!!!!!!! Sleep well, dear lady.

2:19 am

grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!! sweet dreams dear

2:20 am

flosey

ty Sprite

2:20 am

sprite

sounds good, rose

2:21 am

sprite

oh rose, I made myself a prayer booklet. Was losing track of the people I want to pray for and thought, why not write them down. Feels so good :)

2:22 am

grannyrose

wonderful idea sprite. i have our pew sheet to help, then add others i know of....

2:23 am

sprite

you and Don are right below my family and sister :)

2:25 am

grannyrose

bless you sweetie. thanx for that. you know what? i truly believe the prayers of our church helped to keep us safe while we were away.

2:25 am

sprite

I have no doubt of that. We cannot travel the world without extra protection :)

2:26 am

sprite

oh, guilty pleasure... one of the books we use in OA is the actualy Big Book from the AA... so I sometimes pray to the Big Guy from the Big Book...

2:26 am

sprite

actual*

2:27 am

grannyrose

like it honey

2:28 am

sprite

He does too, grin. The OA and also our talks about prayer have helped me to find a way to ask Him for things to help me with, in stead of only thanking him. I have a strong feeling He is telling me : "Well FINALLY, dear girl. Now let Me."

2:29 am

sprite

2:30 am

grannyrose

2:31 am
