Crepe Oddity

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Sorry.

That sounds a better gig than 11+ Herbs!

Very sorry to ear about your poor Mum BD. How awful. Hope she is more comfortable soon.

HEAR obviously. Sorry.

Hey Molly, that's got Rose's name all over it! Good call.
Are you ok Molly? You sound under pressure a bit. {{}} to you.

BD , fuckety fuck re dmum. So utterly discombobulating having a nighttime emergency. Please let us know how the operation went , won't you ? I do hope you were able to get your head down for a while today. {{}} to you too.

Herbs, nice wee nixer, private tutoring innit? As GGG says, I'd keep you're head down come results time

Have a lovely tolerable weekend Crepesters. Enjoy the mini MU too.
Am thinking of a run over the water in March if I can interest y'all in a Spring/pre-Easter rendezvous-vous?
In the meantime where are Rudy and Monty??

Thanks all.
Lovely curry with ddad. I can't say what I really think.

We are where we are and take it day by day.

If there is a crepey writers thing could it also be virtual? I may chance my arm (what the hell does that mean?)

So update.. They did op and ended in colostomy because couldn't untwist bowel (and no idea why it had twisted in the first place), and couldn't section as wasn't in great condition, so really no option. She is doing well in the circs, but clearly age is against her. When I was there her heart beat and blood pressure was good. She actually looked better to me than when I last saw her but maybe that's because they are pumping her full of H2O? (And other stuff).
It just feels never ending and our ability to keep someone alive I think is questionable.

Yes of course, BD. And/or we could time it for when you are here?

Re tomorrow - have booked (in RL name) for 12.30 tomorrow.

Just saw your other post: yep to all that!

Am looking forward to tomorrow. Feeling a bit battered after this week. Have agreed to do Africa trip.

Gonna miss you all :(. Ddad did say go, (love him) but logistics all wrong and I need to do what I can.

BD, I get you. Day by day is it, I think, especially when you have been up half the night. Don't try to think too hard, perhaps, just yet?...

MI and others, dh has noticed there is a world outside work and we are going to do something tomorrow, so I won't make it - but for a positive reason!

And Molly , yes. I think I like it because it leads to top days out by train, so I have many happy memories, and has a Waitrose nearby. Any time. I always avoid going up the stairs and being spewed out up that icy hill: go down to the tunnel to the town centre. Never go the other way through the tunnel unless you want to buy a bed.

That is where our magnificent bed came from, Lalsy.

I am OK, Crem, thanks for asking...dh and I have weathered a crisis and he is making an effort, so the OhFuckRuckSack has been unpacked again. I could do without our relationship being such a rollercoaster, but there we are. I imagine your dp is the same in finding any change incredibly daunting, so by that measure, dh is going pretty good guns. It would help my blood pressure if I had to do less shouting, but when I do, he seems to pull it out of the hat. An old story, I think. Such a relief when it resolves itself. We'll see

Oh Molly, I hope you are OK - just seen the time of your post.

BD, completely agree about questioning keeping people alive. Sending hugs {{{{}}}}

I have not slept at all well for the last few days. Last night involved some particularly vivid 'mares - probably down to the lashings of pulled pork I ate last night. And the stress coming in from both sides.

Cremo, it would be great to see you before Easter And everyone else, of course!

Oh Molly hope you are okay!

Love to see you Cremo - I am still planning monthly jaunts so name a date!

Here I slept like a log and ddad is still asleep (unheard of) - the curry and a couple of drinks obviously helped.

Sympathies to the non sleepers. It doesn't half make things seem worse when viewing them at 4.00 in the morning. I know this very well.
BTM hope you have a better day today. Any chance of flouncing to bed this afternoon. For two hours should be grasped. I rarely do this, but on occasion, the sleep you get seems most restorative.

Molly, you know I've been there. Infuriation is part and parcel I think. So sorry Dh has been getting into intransigent ways. It's scream- making and without solution. I have packed my bag a few times as you know. Hoping for a period of calm compliance for you.xx

Oh BD,just so sorry for you and family. Glad dmum is looking more comfortable. Just thinking about you and your ddad and you having. A Curry together made me well up. Take care of thy self.

Work today, and then sorting the packing for hols must commence. I have not allowed myself to get excited yet, but have to let that go tomorrow. Sarong anyone. Seems bizarre with all this talk of Mega-storms in US

Hope you all have a lovely MU with lots of wine and fun.xx

Yes thinking of March 11th or 12th. Will confirm,
Meant to say Mrs S -crikey, Africa! That's a lot of plane time for you. Hope the fam are surviving without you.(hopeful) You must be shattered, you poor thing. Did they make it clear, when you applied for the job , that there would be so much travel? Seems exhausting.

DQ love to meet you at next MU if you can get to London?

Thanks Cremo that sounds lovely!

Will pencil those dates in Cremo
And DQ, would be lovely to meet you too.

BD, glad you had a good night's sleep. And your dad. Sending strength for today.

Yes, MrsS, are you pleased to be escaping travelling a lot? My bff travels a lot for work. It does seem exhausting to me, and she is exhausted (though wine helps) but thrives on it

So sorry to hear about your Mum, BD.

Enjoy the meet & please eat lots of poppadoms

Molly on bed buying - ours too. And sympathy on the other stuff.

Crem, I really agree about the afternoon nap on rare occasions - it can help when everything seems impossible, odd for such a little thing.

Sorry not to see you all today. But pleased dh and I are leaving house together!

Sadly I have to work today. Sorry to hear about your DM, BD. A big operation & learning to manage a colostomy is bound to be a shock to the system.

My DSis has been laid low by her surgery, despite being a fit woman in her 50s & not having had any body cavity breached.

DM has taken to saying things like 'you won't let me go out'. she doesn't want to go out when I offer to take her (too cold, too windy, she didn't sleep well) but in her head it has to be me preventing her. When I told GP that she gets chest pain going up the hill, she interrupted to say 'but I haven't tried for a couple of weeks'. She doesn't retain any explanations, just keeps thinking things will go back to normal. When I finally got the morphine, after endless emails and phone calls, she said 'oh no I don't need that' and put it in the wardrobe. If she does get a bad pain, she won't think to use it. Had to return a handbag I bought for her because she can't learn how to undo the catch . Feeling stumped.

But it's sunny here & I'm going to let DDog get muddy in the woods.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ROSE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ROSE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RO-SIEEEEEE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOO

Oh Auriga, YES to the 'back to normal'. My parents - in particular my dad - STILL expect it and/or are bewildered and upset that it hasn't happened. This makes everything much worse for DSis and me.
