morning babblers
good morning dear spritey. how are things on your side of the world? xox
hi sweetie *hugs* Could be better. Rob keeps improving, that is the good part. He woke me up three times last night though. Last time by launching a metal tray. Nero was so scared he jumped on the bed and sat shaking against me, all tangled up in the mosquito net. And I, of course, in a full blown panic attack. After which the man went to sleep and Nero and I were awake for a lonnnnng time.
was he asleep when he threw the tray?
and you poor love. i can so understand being woken like that. good grief! when do they say he will be able to walk again?
nope, getting ready for bed. It is a loose metal tray that he has hung under his desk. It has fallen several times already. So he will either fasten it today, or I will throw it out of the house. Expect a tiny mushroom cloud over boxtel in a few hours.
so totally understand. * getting out telescope *
yeah I was mad. He said sorry. I told him, I now have a full on panic attack, sorry doesn't make a *&(% bit of difference.
had to resort to calming and sleeping pills to get some sleep, which is something I very much do not want to do. That should be reserved for warzones like the fireworks on the New Year.
so, that is our little neck of the woods. How are things at your end?
things are actually on the improve here. i'm doing so much better. nose has stopped pouring, rattles and wheezes have pretty much gone. HRH on the other hand ..... he's playing to the max. tomorrow he gets to put his big boy pants on..
very good. You had to be hospitalized, for crying out loud. He can take that as a measure for him being not half as sick as he plays to be.
i'm sleeping from about 10pm to nearly 6am straight through. and even then i doze on and off for another hour.
you have some healing still to do! Darn it, girl, you had me worried sick. Am glad you are breathing better again.
i hear you, and don't forget the nurses twice/day, coming to give IV medication. i wonder if he thought it was all a show.
i can tell you now, so was I, worried that is. i didn't think i was ever going to breathe normally again. i make light of things as you know.
no, the little boy is jealous on all the attention you are getting. He should realise you would much much rather do without and breathing normally. I love Don but he pisses me off with always getting 'sick' and making a whole performance out of it, whenever you are dangerously ill.
two more days of high dose prednisolone, then i start weaning off it, which will take me about a week.
okay, I hope you will keep close watch on your breathing while weaning off. No repeat of last time. And when in doubt... CALL THE FREAKING DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY!
youngest child syndrome, do you think?
yep, no doubt. But stimulated beyond its years by people catering to it.
well the infection is gone, and the heart failure is back under control. just this asthma which is well on the way to behaving itself at last.
that is a very good thing. Still, you do NOT have a good reputation with me for taking good care of you and having your priorities right. I mean *mumbles under her breath about wanting to spend Xmas out of hospital so not contacting urgent care, while pretending to breathe. THrough grey foam no less. Mumble.*
hmmmm, strange. he just came home from being around at the church doing his stuff, came in puffing away. i got up and gave him a nebuliser. just now he went out of the room to get something, and is now sitting without any sign of puffing or wheezing. strange that. i had better keep an eye open.
he is a big boy. He can operate his own nebuliser. Just sayin'.
yuppers. and i can hear Kam saying how much she would love to have hubby there, sick and all. i really must learn to appreciate things more. i know this will pass, we have been here before. maybe tomorrow i will have a little relapse..
you can appreciate Don without catering to his childish attitude.
you know honey, one of us has to move to the other side of the world, permanently.
very very true
going for another drink, bbs
and back.

morning, babblers
hiya rebel
and that little trip just started me of again. got the nebuliser on. guess i won't be pretending tomorrow after all.
hey rebel. how's you doing honey?
you have to take care of yourself first. Don is a big boy.
I'm doing ok. I got a bid of sour news last night. I might not be able to finish school due to lack of financing.
i'm no good to anyone if i don't, right?
oh rebel, i am so sorry to read that.
oh that sucks! Will pray things will turn out better than that, rebel!
rose: nope honey, you won't be
thank you. I'll take all the prayers I can get. It's very much appreciated!
how many years to go, rebel? are you allowed to defer until finance is available to you?
My anticipated graduation date is 2028, and I don't know about deferremnt. I just got the email last night that I've reached the maximum amount I can borrow from FAFSA, the government, and that I have to look for financing elsewhere. and with my current credit score, it's not looking too promising.
am so so sorry. How very frustrating and devastating.
so you are on your own, rebel? no family? my god! why is education ALWAYS at the bottom of every governments priorities!
I'm considered a transfer senior, since I've already got over 200 credits from previous college experience from ovr 20 years ago, and now that I've just turned 50, I'm just trying to finish what I started and get a degree, but I had to baically start all over since NONE of my previous college credits would transfer over.
oh rebel, how heart breaking!
I live with my sister, my daughter lives in California, and we live in MIssissippi.
I had to give up my studies too for lack of funding. WIth working and a small donation from my parents, I could just scrape by. And then, of course, (Rose knows my parents), after a year in they withdrew their tiny donation and I was stuck. So I know a little bit of how you are feeling. It is awful.
so unfair, that. Financially they consider you a transfer, but academically you have to start over. I mean... jeezzzzzzz.
And I'm in the Theatre Liberal Arts program studying acting....my dream of what I want to do since I was young...
prayers going up to the Big Guy right now, rebel. May there be a way to live your dream.
thank you very much! very much appreciated. Looks like I'm going to have to wear down the shoe leather going to the banks...
fireflies
i was one of the "lucky" ones. left home at 17. did my hospital-based training, and did my dream job my en6 working life.
* hugs * sprite. ... and... WTG SPRITE!!
*hugs* to you both. Poofing with prayers.
bye, sprite!
rebel, anyway of doing school part time, while you work part time?
I'm a disabled veteran, grannyrose. I can't work.
this gets worse and worse. i thought the US of A took better care of their vets than that. They certainly make a big deal of those who have served their country for heaven's sake. or is that just hooha?
Oh, they take care of their veterans, for sure. that is if you're discharged without a cloud over your head. I served under the CLinton administration, don't ask, don't tell; got assaulted twice, tried to report it, and was discharged for it. according to the military, i didn't serve long enough to receive my benefits, so i don't get them. i've tried many times for years to get them, and it's never worked.
that's so sad, rebel. couldn't you just shake the authorities?
i mean...it was my commanding officer that assaulted me the second time, so I had to go above his head to report him, and they didn't want to hear it.
oh rebel, you poor love! it's no fun being a woman in the forces. the women over here are finally learning to stand together and fight back. is there a support group available to you?
Yes. And I utilize it often. I also go to therapy, and I get medicinal therapy every other week in another state because it's not available here in the state I live in.
rebel, if you prefer to continue this privately, i am on FB as rose mccarthy. i'm in Melbourne, Australia. my pic is me on a miniature train, with my son in the forefront, and my three grandkids.
when you send me a friend request, i will then ask you to meet in messenger.
friend request sent!

I know Peri. I am totally bummed.
I really dislike winter but I am glad that I do not live in the NE or NW part of the country.
bbs
Or Canada, God forbid
Lol
I want to move south(er) so bad
Not to bad atm. Is only minus 4c, but the wind chill is minus 13. Though the swalld coming off the bay today are annoying. Set to have about a foot of fresh powder by tomorrow morning.
Squalls*
Wait till it gets below minus 30c--then the real fun begins.
Though the weather is moderating over the last twenty years. Not near as cold as it used to get.
Just found a nice matching pair of ce 6/21's--one American, one Canadian. :)
low to mid 30s(F) here today
It hasn't been above 27 here all day. And it feels like the teens. I don't know how people deal with weather like this all winter. My electric bill was obscene this month.
back to finish....hello again...
my niece's recently murdered chicken is in the grid today...
well i am done....goodnight all....
murdered chicken?
hi ru
was it colonel sanders ?
in the library?
hi welks
I'll need to find out about murdered chickens
maybe on a wing and a prayer?
so long as they weren't choked
did the chicken die at ten o'cluck?
nah, at ten, it was at the peep show
eggsactly
i wonder if the chicken was one dumb cluck?
or balding and had a comb over
nonetheless a new murder mystery is hatched
many chickens are homeless and fostered
many chickens are part of a bucket brigade?
that would be fowl play
talk about clutching your pearls
just got back from a week in tucson - what a beautiful city!
oh nice
never been to tucson.. been to phoenix and sedona, and such
lucked out with the best airbnb - completely fenced front AND rear yards. the dogs had a blast!
nice
i have to line up a air bnb for the spring myself
was only the second time i've used an airbnb - the first was in montreal and i'll just say the house was 'interesting.' this place, well the views were spectacular, seemed as though we were completely isolated from the rest of the neighborhood, a nicely appointed kitchen and, although the house was dated, it was absolutely perfect for my daughter, her husband, kids and us
i've had a lot of luck with air bnb
where, ru? where are you going in the spring?
our house on loch ness was incredible
port townsend in the spring and haida gwaii in july
don't know if this will work, but here's the house https://tinyurl.com/79y76trf
ooooh, i've wanted to visit haida gwaii - very special place
i had to look up port townsend - looks lovely!
yeah.. we're staying in masset and taking the boat to the indian villages
i'm going to retire in the port townsend area
fairly soon too
i better head to bed to read and settle in for the night..
have a good night welki .. hi to mr welki
i'm happy for you - you deserve it. sooner is better than later
g'night, friend
