What are you doing right now?

[Ceridwen]

Have you ever just been working, running around day to day, and then realize that it's been 9 or 10 months since you last checked the Highlander board? That's what I'm doing, realizing that I've let real life take up entirely too much of my time lately

Had a dream about a former member last night (totally weird, naturally), so I thought I'd best check in. We've had lots of rain here, too. The grass/weeds/wildflowers are almost as tall as the antelope.

How was the pony ride, Cool? No disrespectful laughter from the four-legged beasts I trust. I agree with dubious, the helmet looks nice.

Hey, Trees! Glad you remembered your password.

Sigh. I gave up coffee except for asthma attacks. I miss it, but when I have some for wheezing, it tastes so good and it works like lightning! Almost makes me want to go sniff some mold!

I had my nose mended and am almost to the point of being able to breath most of the time. Yay! As surgeries go, it wasn't the worst, but I don't want to do it again! (Twice is plenty!) so I'm off to buy a lady's lacrosse helmet. It's the only helmet I can find that works for horse riding, while defending against concussion and keeping my snoot safe. I fear that the horses will laugh at me.

I think that Lacross helmet really looks nice, though. I'm fine in Japan. It decided to rain a lot here. It got cold, too. I feel like it's been raining for more than a day. The storm windows are closed on the cat room. So far no sign of the roof leaking, knock on wood!

[Coolwater]

Hello! It has been storming and storming and every so often we hide in the cellar. The dogs hate being carried down the steps, but they get a lovely greasy bone to chew at the bottom, so they're learning to like it a little better.
How is everyone?

I'm procrastinating entering grades into the gradebook program because I just found my password for this site for the first time in at least a year I think.

Welcome back! I am between lessons right now. I made myself some lunch. Been listening to the audiobook for Percy Jackson: Son of Neptune.

Agreed. I had a trying evening yesterday; not awful, just really irritating. Laughter helps a lot.
I'm gad you're ambulatory again.
I think the horses are going to laugh. I'm going to be riding a Paso Fino pony on Saturday that will make me look like a snow man on a donkey, so maybe the helmet will distract from the size mismatch?

[LamBear*]

Whoa, PW, that doesn't sound good. Don't CPAPs just blow O2 up your nose? Hope the data can sort through all that. Good luck.

That's some kind of helmet, Cool. Maybe a sugar bribe will keep the horses from laughing, but I think it looks snazzy. Hope the nose fix is a total success. Breathing is important.


"How is your back recovering, Lammy? And I love your sigs, BTW."

The back is doing remarkably well, and therefore so am I, especially since I met the surgeon only once before he took a knife to my spine. Trust and crossed fingers. Thanks for asking. As for the sigs, I figure anything that makes me laugh is bound to make someone else laugh.

[Coolwater]

Wow! I'm glad they're not just being completely reflexive about it.

    Did they figure t out? Or just add you to the multiplying millions assigned to CPAP?

The in-hospital thing was last Tuesday night/ wednesday morning. They're willing to prescribe me a CPAP, but the way my legs started spasmodicly twitching when they put the mask on me (after monitoring me for a awhile without it) and how how was spitting a funny colour in the morning (Still a bit pink now) I'd like to talk to my respirologist first. They wired me up full body, and a camera above me, so there's scads of data.

Gosh, condolences, Hi. Are you doing OK?

How is your back recovering, Lammy? And I love your sigs, BTW.

[LamBear*]

Ah, of course. Coffee and cross stitch. Sorry about that. I'm old. We're only a couple of hours, maybe, away from you in Harper. We still have our place in CO, but I am looking forward to getting back to our little piece of heaven in TX in a couple of days. Nice seeing the grandkids, but...

[~mj~]

Thought about you and G as we drove through the Springs last Thursday on our way back to CO for a short visit and was wondering if you're still in San Ange....? Still knitting lots? I see you haven't broken your coffee habit. 😁

No,coffee love is going strong. G and I are in San Angelo for the duration I guess, who can afford to move?Er...I don't knit Lammie, I cross stitch.

[LamBear*]

It's melting outside! After a brutal second half of winter it's melting!

Spring is almost here! 😎🌷🌸🌻🌺🌼

[LamBear*]

I too was sorry to hear about your mom. My condolences.

[LamBear*]

Hello people! Glad you are on the mend Lammie...I knew that was you Lumen...Er, I knew who you were. I am working on my first coffee...

I'm watching Stargate Continuum for the first time. It's been a decent, but long day.

[HL1]

Fuming because of the inept morons at my doctor's office. They called in the wrong meds. And I know it was them because the doctor and I discussed why what THEY called in wouldn't work. I'd normally be PO'd any way, but since Mom just passed last week everything is considerably more irritating.

[Perfect Warrior]

Just filed my taxes- $300 more than I calculated in my head. (Is that the carbon tax shenanigans?)

& Disability Pension might fund some classes for me, but they don't get new funding for Rehab until April. Asthma meds are more expensive by a scream. (3x) So doing fine, I guess.
