The pain and stiffness I've been experiencing that last few days must have been more exhausting than I thought. Otherwise, I never sleep that long. I feel pretty good today, thank you.
I was chatting with a DD friend in Australia last night. It's so confusing. It was 10pm, Tuesday, here, and 5pm, Wednesday, there. We're looking at spring here, and it's working into fall there. What a crazy world.
Which brings me to something wonderful. Fifty years ago, I would never have become acquainted with anyone in Australia; and if I did, and we wanted to visit, I probably would have had to take a boat trip--maybe two weeks long--to get there. Now with a few keystrokes, I can talk to anyone anywhere in the world. Amazing!
I may never meet any of you face-to-face, but I feel that I'm making new friends all the time through DD. And those of you who post pictures, I have a face to go with a name. Wonderful.
I'm not a socializer usually, and in a roomful of people I'm darned near catatonic. Huddling in a corner, hoping to see a familiar face. Claustrophobic. Get me out of here!!
Oh, I take classes, but people are situated around a table, and we're all focusing on the instructor/moderator. It's a different thing all together. Socializing at a cocktail party is not my cuppa! But a group of 3 or 4 people gathered in the living room, chatting, enjoying each other's company--that's a lovely thing for me.
I think I mentioned in one of my diaries that I'm not a hostess type, but I'd love to have you knock on my door and come visit a while. Or phone and ask if I'm available to meet at soandso place for lunch.
I love my friends. I really do. But not all at once, please.
Shalom

Thanks for your comments and compliments! *smile* I think my daughter and hubby are great too.
Life is good.
Peace to you. *smile*
Love,

and I agree that if you still feel bad in a few days you should definately let someone know in the professional arena. *smiles* (from she who balks before doctors)

you're right, it opens the world up to us, i love that i have a whole host of friends from all over the world thanks to this technology
as for cocktail parties and the like, neither am i a mighty socialite-type person, not too comfy in large groups, not too good at small talk
good for you, sleeping in today, i hope it really helps you for the rest of the week

I had to smile at your mention of Miki's feelings about you sleeping in and missing her breakfast time. It's like that here some days too with my two old girl-dogs. I hope you'll let yourself sleep as much as your body wants to while Arthur is playing up. Chronic pain and stiffness do sap a lot of our energy and plenty of rest is necessary I've found. Take care and have a good day,
'bye now, Kelpie :)
On my diary, as long as you are seing purple buttons and not seashells, you are seeing the right thing. Now that I've renamed them, that should be all you can get. Does the header picture cause a problem for you as far as download time? Let me know . . . it's hard for me to know because I have a satellite connection and it's fairly fast. I would hate for people to have to wait for that and maybe even click off before reading.
Hope your day is going well! I'm so happy to have you as a friend. *smile*
