So many K's, sprite. So many K's.....
12:43 am
sprite
I know... was just picking up the remnants of my courage and start on them
12:45 am
grannyrose
* hands sprite a thimble to put her courage in * or would you prefer a large glass of dutch courage... ducks out of range.... sprite has a mean right hook.
12:45 am
sprite
I have never hurt a single K in my life. I really don't know why they are always so mean to me
12:45 am
sprite
Dutch courage... sounds good! Go pour me one, you meanie :)
*hugs Rose* Hello darling, we meet at last!
12:46 am
jeanne314
I'm i[ to14 on the Ks. Daunting. Slow-going for me. Have fun!
12:46 am

hiya jeanne :)
12:47 am
jeanne314
Hello! How's the game going for you?
12:47 am
sprite
so far, it's not, lol. First, I am doing the Ks. The game will start after
12:48 am
jeanne314
Oooh, you might have done yourself in! Nah, for all the Ks you've conquered...you got this!

yuppers. hello honey. found some time to delve into Jirella today. just read the scene and consequential recovery phase after Vei'jar. my heart is broken for her.
12:49 am
sprite
ugh yeah... isn't he a horrible one... and yes, that has done her a lot of hurt, poor love. I bet you didn't trust him from the get-go
12:50 am
grannyrose
he did make me feel squirmy. he is so slimy.
12:51 am
sprite
and so overbearing too. I'd have kicked him to the curb from day one. But it is hard to really know people when you have grown up so isolated as Jirella. She can get confused when people are nice to her... doesn't yet know that doesn't mean they ARE nice.
12:53 am
grannyrose
part of growing up unfortunately, developing that sense of cynicism.
12:53 am
sprite
exactly. She has some catching up to do in that area. WIll stumble a couple of more times. As we all have.
12:53 am
sprite
one more flippin'K to go.
12:54 am
sprite
there we go. Ks killed, no biggies there, at least.
12:54 am
grannyrose
well done sprite. * hands over the sangria *
12:55 am
sprite
yayyyyy sangria!
12:55 am
grannyrose
careful. you nearly knocked the bottle out of my hand. and one swig at a time. then my turn.
12:56 am
sprite
nooooo this is mine! All of it! I needed all that dutch courage, now there's no taking it back!
12:56 am
grannyrose
ROFLOL
12:57 am
sprite
lol, we shared quite a bit of that great stuff in our time, honey. I still cannot drink it without thinking of you right away and toasting you.
12:57 am
grannyrose
* gently wipes sprite's chin * no dribbling dear, not in public
12:58 am
sprite
okay, okay... slow sipping then...
12:58 am
grannyrose
we sure did. it was such wonderful fun. just being with you irl was the most amazing thing for me.
12:59 am
sprite
same here. You are the sister of my soul. I still think the Big Guy is a bit of an ass to put us on different sides of the globe. Just sayin'.
12:59 am
grannyrose
* giggle *
1:00 am
grannyrose
oh, btw, I rang my pain doc on Friday. i was able to book in for December AND March 2026.
1:01 am
sprite
oh that is wonderful! And well done, honey.
1:02 am
grannyrose
GP appointment went really well. she was stunned that the hospital's new criteria for B/P meds is that the blood pressure must be 130 or over in order for them to be given. she has written a letter to the effect that if my B/P is 110 or over i MUST be given my meds.
1:03 am
sprite
very good. All those silly rules tend to forget they are supposed to be about people. Jeezzzz.
1:06 am
grannyrose
how's the broken wing doing? are you getting enough rest overnight?
1:06 am
sprite
sidenote: I must have tried a zillion words ending in the 'kind of' ending and not one of them took! Hmphffffff
1:07 am
sprite
last night was pretty good. SLept quite a lot. The broken wing is healing. Slowly but surely. Pain goes down a little, I can do more, lying in bed is starting to become bearable now.
1:08 am
grannyrose
oh and Don has started with a group program with the exercise physiologist. * giggle * he came exhausted, and of course he hadn't pre-empted the pain factor, and gone without any extra analgesia on board. What a dill!
1:09 am
sprite
might teach him to listen to his much smarter and more experienced spouse... what I am saying... no it won't LOLOL
1:09 am
grannyrose
am so glad you can now lie down without the distress you initially had.
1:10 am
sprite
yeah, let me tell you, a broken shoulder is a thing. Nasty little bump in the road. Don't recommend. Less than one star.
1:10 am
grannyrose
* looks around room * nope, no smart and experienced spouse in here.
1:10 am
sprite
yes there is, silly. But he won't listen to her. Much.
1:11 am
sprite
*miffed* I want pewt. I mean, I can have pewter. Then I can have pewt too. But noooooo
1:12 am
grannyrose
i wanted pewn, past tense of sitting in church seat.
1:13 am
sprite
also a very valid longing
1:23 am

sprite?? question ??
1:23 am
sprite

1:24 am
grannyrose
chicken eggs.... are the shells more brittle than usual over there?
1:27 am
grannyrose
hmmm.... the shells over here are so brittle. no matter how careful you are trying to crack them, they just shatter into a tiny fragments. always picking bits of shell out of the eggs before i can cook them.
1:27 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE !!!!
1:28 am
sprite
oh that is irritating :( No, pretty much all normal here. With a bit of care, no shattering. Of course, I have some experience walking on eggshells :P
1:28 am
sprite
fun grid, apart from the K. Flowed smoothly.
1:28 am
grannyrose
* giggles * that's more descriptive of Rob I would think.
1:29 am
sprite
nah. I am easy. Everybody knows that. A breeze to live with. Tsk.
1:29 am
grannyrose
oh my.... you big fibber . what a whopper !! see ya. * running out the door *
1:30 am
sprite
honey, can't tell you how happy I am we got to play babble together again, I missed you. Lovely to hear about Jirella too. Big *hug* for you and Don, and one more just for you. Love you!
1:30 am
grannyrose
* half way down the road * waving to sprite.
1:31 am
sprite
*grins* I'll get you yet. You'll return all by yourself and ohhhhh wait to see what happens then...
