hello and * hugs * from a very washed out me. in more ways than one.

12:44 am

sprite

hi sweetie. *hugs* Very happy to see you here. Not much energy to spare, I think.

12:45 am

grannyrose

not at the moment honey. have spent most of the day sleeping. at last bowel spasms appears to be settling. have sent an email to specialists rooms for an appointment.

12:46 am

grannyrose

how are you doing sweetie? still up to your armpits in boxes?

12:46 am

sprite

tell them I said to give you top priority.

12:47 am

sprite

after the day with tim I had to take some rest. Severe pain. Hard not to overdo things when in the flow. But today is a little better.

12:51 am

grannyrose

glad you were able to take the down time you needed. no pushing through anything, you hear?

12:52 am

sprite

lol it was not an option... couldn't walk at all. My body telling me I had to rest. Urgently. Insistently. Very irritatingly forcing its message on me. :D

12:57 am

grannyrose

yeah i know that feeling well. your brain says go on, but your says What?? Now?? yeah, right.

12:58 am

sprite

very inconsiderate of our bodies. Tsssssk.

12:58 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

1:00 am

sprite

I managed to cook for two days yesterday, so that is a win.

1:01 am

grannyrose

i had to tell one very officious nurse ever so gently off this morning. She seemed to think because i was going home i was fully capable of getting myself off the trolley and walk out the door. gently pointed out just because to problem had been found, did not necessarily mean i was miraculously healed. i still needed assistance to accomplish any sort of task. she took it well.

1:02 am

sprite

glad she was hearing you. Silly git.

1:08 am

grannyrose

love that word. express the concept so well. lol

1:08 am

sprite

:D

1:10 am

sprite

one of my favorite babble words is in the grid today, iw4. I love it because it so clearly shows the links between english and dutch.

1:11 am

grannyrose

oh and i've started reading your book. it's keeping me entertained. only about a quarter of the way through so far. i keep falling asleep...not that your writing is boring at all. but it does show how tired i am. have downloaded it and put it into my docs, so it is there ready for me.

1:12 am

sprite

oh how lovely! Take all the time you need, sleeping is so much more important at the moment. You need to heal.

1:12 am

sprite

but glad to hear you are being entertained by my two heroes :) They are quite something, both of them, aren't they.

1:15 am

sprite

fireflies

1:16 am

grannyrose

i hope you have a gentle day today honey. small steps. taken frequently add up to huge strides.

1:18 am

sprite

so far so good, honey, I am doing it well for the most part. Just not on the day with Tim but I think I can be forgiven for that :D Okay, hugs and lots of love, and be very careful with yourself. I hope you will see the specialist very very soon.

1:20 am

grannyrose
