2:03 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

grannyrose

the hospital did that.

2:05 am

sprite

not well enough, they didn't *grumble*

2:07 am

grannyrose

* grin * hey now you know how i felt when you and Rob were going through that stuff. i just wanted fly over there and shake everyone til their teeth rattled. how dare they treat my friend's that way! right?

2:07 am

sprite

exactly. So frustrating to not be able to hop over and shake some sense into them.

2:08 am

sprite

on a sidenote: I would say that uptimal is even better than optimal. But nooooo

2:11 am

grannyrose

how are you traveling love? did you have a good down day?

2:12 am

sprite

we did a couple more boxes yesterday, I didn't lift them though. Otherwise pretty calm day. Some translating, some rewriting, all fun.

2:12 am

grannyrose

good. and your night? bumpy?

2:13 am

sprite

shortish. been awake since 3 am. But slept okay. I am pretty okay atm, don't worry :)

2:15 am

sprite

calling Lickety, calling Lickety, come in Lickety... :)
This grid has about 1/3 words less than it claims

2:16 am

grannyrose

really getting stuck into your book. it's an excellent read. realised that it is actually an allegory to life, and lessons we can learn about ourselves along the way.

2:17 am

sprite

oooooo I am so happy you like it! Yes, it is, it is my way of sharing my little bit of insight. Do you like my heroes?

2:20 am

grannyrose

i do. but i am more intrigued by the insights you have. you have learned such a lot my darling. and you are passing along that wisdom in such a way that anyone reading this will learn from it.

2:20 am

sprite

thank you :) That makes me very very happy

2:36 am

sprite

ugh down to 4.

2:37 am

2:51 am
