the party was okay, I took lots of breaks to come up and wrap but it was okay. I have to go for a little while, the kids will be here soon and I still have to get dressed and stuff. But I hope you feel better and I hope today is a good day for you blossom.

ok bye starry, have fun with your baby:) i'm gonna have a nap i think . don't feel so good.

hope you feel better soon blossom

thanks Jj:)

i'm just home from my granny and grandads house. we go there every christmas day and all my aunts and uncles and cousins go too. it's kinda like a little party. they've all got so old. i sat with my granny and grandad for a while when the others were having tea in the kitchen. it was really hard not to cry. everything's all changed. my granny can barely walk anymore, her hearing is almost gone, she can't talk much and she sleeps all the time. i think that's so sad. she used to have so much energy. when i was younger daddy used to take me over there every saturday morning and i'd hang with nana in the kitchen while daddy and grandad took the dogs out hunting. one time she tried to teach me how to cook but it didn't work. oh i dunno. my grandad hasn't changed too much, he's just a lot thinner. like a stick. he sits and watches tv all day. it was just hard that's all and i don't want them to die.

oh blossom,

It must of been hard for you today hun, seeing your grandparents poorly, but try not to be upset. your granparents wouldnt want you to be unhappy. You probably made their day visiting them and spending time together.

Blossom whats important is that you love them and they love you, and you had time together today, which probably meant so much to them

Sorry it was so hard for you hun,

yeah you're right Jj. i just don't like the idea of them dying.

but everyone dies.

ahh, hun.

yeah your right everyone dies ~ eventually.

But, they are alive , and thats what you should concentrate on, the fact that they are both alive, now. Dont bring yourself down over something that hopefully wont happen for many years to come.

Is there maybe something else that you do to take your mind away from those unhappy thoughts ?

oh, and what did you get for christmas hun ?

take care

Jj

hey Jj you're right again!

i'll probably just go to bed soon. i'm so emotional lately. dunno what's wrong with me. usually i can't cry atall but now anything will set me off..

i got the friends boxset and then some other bits and pieces.

oh! and santa asked me to give you this:

hey blossom

Thanks hun

hey you got to see santa ~ how lucky is that !!!

Im sorry your emotional and have been crying hun, its probably coz your not feeling well, and are a little run down from work and college and all that studying you have to do.

Things will get better for you hun

Try and rest if you can.

Take care

Jj

ps THANKYOU FOR THE PICTURE OF GERTIE WITH SANTA

here's a chocolate fountain for you:

did you have christmas dinner??

:eek: No way (yuk) Im a vegitarian, but I cant do the whole food thingy lately (bigger yuk) :eek:

Did you have christmas dinner ?

thanks for the chocolate fountain

its very BIG

:eek: no way (yuk) i'm vegetarian too:)!!! and i don't really like food either.

you're welcome!

how are you doing now?

Erm, well kinda still breathing, which I guess is a good thing to be doing, but feeling proper lowper

Christmas Day is over now, and its Boxing day (any idea what that means ?)

So what did you have when everyone was eating there Xmas dinner ? please dont tell me you had to eat loads of sprouts (yuk) and veg ( bigger yuk)

i'm sorry you're feeling low:(

i dunno why it's called boxing day.. we call it st. stephens day over here.

i didn't have any dinner. i was in bed for most of the day anyway.. this flu is making me feel really strange. kinda lightheaded and dizzy like i'm floating and headachy.

i gotta go sleep now Jj but i'll see ya tomorrow. i hope you get some sleep too

sweetdreams Blossom

hope you feel better tomorrow

night hun

Do you think you have bacon fever, Blossom?? I sure hope you are feeling better today

hey finding, oh i dunno... it would probably be a lot worse than this if it was.. it's probably just normal flu. how are you?

I am doing OK I think! I am still trying to wrangle new technology, but I will survive.

flu can cause secondary infections like bronchitis, so please please take care!!!

[At last our rain turned to snow]

ok i'll try not to get bronchitis.

how much snow?

It's pretty, but there isn't much of it.

I cooked a dinner last night, and no one died!

you sound surprised..!

are you a good cook?

i mostly warm up things in the microwave.... so I'm out of practice for sure.

The most hilarious thing is the state of my kitchen. I use it as my studio/workshop/random putting place, so, it takes some creativity to find room to cook. ykw would probably go into a coma if she saw it.

you're funny:)

ykw is very very fussy. she kinda gave me a break yesterday because it was christmas day but she's back to normal today..

[mooooooooooooooooooooo to her]

do you have to go to work today?

no i have today off and i'm back tomorrow:( when are you back?
