Sudokuaholics Anonymous 6

You've been so busy with Ebob's walking pneumonia ( and the boogie woogie flu) (sorry) that the thought of the Bee was put on the back burner. Very understandable.

HEY!! I TOPPed!

The school has been a bit vague with information too. I made a special trip to the school to find stuff out. The principal seems to have forgotten to pass on messages between people too!

Thanks Suzy, I am glad to feel it! I am still up and down, but down now can be recliner and computer chair, not bed, major progress.

Well, hubby alert, has just come in asking, WHAT"S FOR DINNER? Nice that I have it ready.

Nice Heidi!
I really have to go get dinner going, but was caught up reading all the fun I missed on Easy today. Heidi - so grateful you don't have protate problems! hehehe - what a hoot!

Time for me to go. Got stuff to do and presents to buy.... Have a great day everyone!

I need to fix myself something to eat. I have 24 wonderful hours without IH.

Ruby my camera does have video so I promise I will do some mini videos, but you gals have to reciprocate!
Zusy will be home for the rest of the week but yes work puter is up to speed again.
Gail, what cous replied I cannot repeat or would get kicked off site, say Hi to Bean for me.

At least a photo of you Ruby!

I'll be taking some videos with my camera in SF - Shosho and I are getting tiaras and boas together for the event.
Hi Gail and Broni! What movie are you and Bean seeing, Gail?

Well, tonight mytiming was impecable, finished my book just in time to check in here and then to bed at a decent hour. I ws gonna finish it before going to bed, glad it was not early morning hours before i did.

Vici, yes, it is a good book, ending was a bit rushed I think, but then it all happened in a hurry.

In the book you think you know just everything, saw all that was going on, because what you were shown was soo graphic, so well painted for you in such minute detail. then you realize, huumm, big hunks of little things were just never mentioned and you did not miss them. Ann Patchett is a skilled writter and is not the least perdictable in her writing.

Glad you enjoyed your book, MizT. By the way, I've been impressed by your recuperation.

Thanks, Vici.

Ruby, thanks I was not sure I would like the book the first few pages. Book turned out to be a plesant surprise. So has my recooperation. I followed all my doc orders, did all my treatments, took all my medication including pain meds when I needed them, all the yucky metamucile and softener stuff, but Mainly I never got over tired. If I felt a twinge of tired, I got me back in bed for a nap, or now, down in recliner for a rest. my house is not clean, counters have dishes hubby does not know how to put into the dishwasher, dishwasher is full of clean dishes to be emptied again, and I am not getting uptight over it. It will get done later rather than sooner, but it will get done. We have the necessities, food to eat, clothes to wear, and in a couple months noone will remember that on Sept 17, Tricia went to bed without emptying the dishwasher.

I think no general anesthesia was a big part and also, whatever it was they gave me to " relax you a little". Not the one I had trouble with before and i must find out what they used. If I ever have surgery again, this is what I want.

Night night all!

Tricia!
I especially loved your line, "...and in a couple of months no one will remember that on Sept 17 Tricia went to bed without emptying the dishwasher" - Lovely!

Afternoon all! Just dropping in for a coffee break. Still tonnes to do today. AND I forgot to buy the birthday presents!!!! *(^^$#%(*& I'll have to see how settled the girls are after dinner and maybe head over for Thursday night shopping. The good shops all close at 5.30 of course!!!

Tricia, I will try to remember that you didn't empty your dishwasher, just so you don't feel ignored... tee hee

Broni - you mentioned D&D in an earlier post and I was surprised because I thought you would be at home. Glad you are. Hugs!

Whose birthday?
Thanks Broni and Vici for the video promises. That's the spirit!
It was a good line, MizT.

I've taken my pills and I'm going to try to go to bed early, myself. Big day tomorrow -- Thursday -- twenty-four hours of it. Good night and sweet dreams.

Timed out 3 times!!! Knew I should have kept my mouth shut. Oh well, first time in ages so I won't complain - much.

Now I have no time left to read and post so will catch you later.

Night Ruby.

well i knew i shouldn't have bragged about being so healthy around here. i have gone and gotten a cold. this is the achy, hot eyes, congested nose cold. not terrible, but just means i have to do all the normal stuff while feeling blahch. now that i have you all feeling super sorry for me i am going to go to bed. buona notte!

I'm calling it a night, too. Sorry to hear you got sickies, Mariana - hope your sleep helps you to feel better.
Catch you all on the flip!

Very quiet here today, and I still have lots of pages to catch up. Laura in daycare, the sucky lady came, done some shopping (still have to finish puting it away) and had the silver locks trimmed.

Sharon had the stitches out yesterday but still has a lot of pain (spacing out the pain killers though), cannot put on shoes and socks etc. The hardest is not being able to give Laura a proper cuddle.
Laura's surgery has now been scheduled for 1 October and Sharon (with help) should be able to cope by then. (Still will not be able to lift anything or drive)

Hi June, are you taking some time for yourself yet?

Mariana, Know what it is like to have a cold and still have to cope. I have had a bit of one (mainly a bad cough) for the last couple of weeks. Hubby got it it and was dying at home but couple go out to bowls etc!
Hope you soon feel much better.

Broni, how are you??
This is time for me now. Only Sharon and me at home.

Hi June and Broni.
Nice to see you having some me time June.
I went to the surgeon today who did my op for a checkup and he said it was not a hernia.
It was a lipoma, which is a fatty lump.
He cut it out and it is benign he said.
My tummy was still rather swollen and he said fluid will be filling the space where the lump was and that he could aspirate it if I wanted.
So I lay down, had a needle inserted into tummy to draw out this fluid.
He will send it away for testing to check its not infected etc.
He said it looks okay.
Apparently some people have this aspirated 6 times, but it is up to the individual as eventually your body deals with it.
I needed my lunch and coffee after that I can tell you.
Good wishes coming your way and to Sharon and Laura.

I am still doing washing here, I do not know where it comes from but want to get it all done before we leave on saturday.
Son is working at the chip shop tonight and tomorrow night so will be washing tomorrow night about 9.30pm and hubbies work clothes as well !
Now I had better get on with the ironing and fling some food at the same time.

Evening all! Just dropping in while I download some stuff for Ebob.

We decided she would go back to school tomorrow, only to discover that her history class is having a test! She is off studying for that while I download some other stuff she needs.

Sigh. I wouldn't do it for her if she wasn't sick!!!

everybody...I'm back....
Gail and I enjoyed the movie even if we used a few tissues and cleared out the sinus's again.... We went and saw CHILDREN OF THE SILK ROAD. I know its been out for ages...I am really good at seeing things at the last moment...that is two films I have seen this week just before they closed!!

We really should have been seeing a comedy after going to a funeral this morning....but on second thoughts that would probably would have felt like a very trivial act...

Tricia...there is a photo in my gallery of us both on the day we first met down at Flinders....

June, I am thinking about you and have everything crossed that the emotional and physical roller coaster that your family have been riding on is slowing down for the return to normalcy and boring every day stuff.

Thoughts and wishes......

Heidi....DAGS: clumps of dung stuck to the wool of a sheep, also used in Australia as a term of friendly abuse..... Dags are rarely singular...hehe!!! I know quite a few!!

Hi ya there Suzi...

Ruby....I want your phone number...landline...so I can ring you up!!!! I talk too fast, laugh too much and talk so much slang you will probably never understand me but a laugh it would be....

Catch you all later...

Bean, sorry to hear about your sad start to the day. You didn't say if you enjoyed the movie - I know you enjoyed the company.

Boy that was a flying visit Bean! Talk about talking too fast! Barely had time to notice you were here and you were gone....

Viv, re aspiration, how long would it take for your body to 'sort itself out' without docs help??? And would it sort itself out a little quicker if you trained your son to throw his work clothes in the machine himself when he got home???
