Army Thread Wednesday 13th November

Hello troops! I've been sleeping like a log, like during the day type sleeping as well as all night. I feel like I've lost the last few days from my life. Apart from playing Words with Reccy I've done nowt each day but have a shower, watch a tiny amount of Netflix, type a couple of texts, feed the boyz and in turn get fed by Cheryl and Kenny. And SLEEP. I never knew I had so much SLEEP in me! The cats seem to have caught it and they're sleeping all the time now too!

Anyhoo... before I fall asleep again, I'll catch up on the news!

The B-12s are a doddle Dreamy, you just have to be sure to use as small a needle as you can. I do them in the thigh, it's easier than making yourself into a pretzel to get your bum. (They're intra-muscular.)

Satzy... the course sounds like a complete and utter waste of time. I think you lost your days just like I lost mine!

Mollers... If you can do someone else's job that earns shedloads more then it stands to reason that you're being feckin underpaid.

Jacks... I totally "get" the nana naps now. I wonder if I've been turned into a nana-napper? I may need to get helpful hints from you if that's the case! :H

Foxy... I hear you on the dog-tired. Good grief, pure exhaustion! Maybe it's the change of seasons?

Inchy... Good to see you hon! Sounds like a good concert. Are there pix of you with Alice in Chains?

Tipps... More missing mojo. Who the FECK is stealing the Army energy?! Time to get Oners to send us some crystals!

Whizzy... you certainly made a few last minute plans there and I think it's great! It'll all come together so dinnae worry. All you have to do is get yer bags packed and get on the silver chicken! The rest will take care of itself...

Reccy... Going to head over to Words in a few once I've had a wee clean up in the kitchen (which I will do grudgingly!)...

Shite! I forgot MY news!

An old friend, someone I used to work with on the yachts who now lives in Cape Town (she's English) with her Safrican husband who I also used to work with on the yachts, is coming to spend the weekend with me! :yay: Yer wan indoors is going up to visit his family in Jax Friday-Sunday and we'll have a lovely chillaxed girls weekend.

Here's hoping I can stay awake for it! :egad: Seriously though... I'm really looking forward to catching up with her. I haven't seen her since the late 90's. She used to love MacGregor (he was on the yachts with us) and I'm looking forward to her meeting Dougal and Hamish.

And I have a Doc's appt at 2.45 on the morrow. It'll be my first day back driving and I've told myself I am officially out of my sick bed as of 9 a.m. tomorrow. Until then though... I'll have a leisurely game of Words and several nana-naps!

The good news is my cold seems to have dissipated into mild sniffles, I can live with that. Off for a quick shower. Good morning those to come :l

I always miss someone! :upset: Sorry about dat.

Hope your sniffles improve. Plenty of Vit C is in order! X

Aaaaah, signs of life.

Sleepy nana-napper Zens, DIY shots? Not that brave, I'm afraid. Somebody else will have to do the deed.

Listen to your body: if it wants to rest, be nice to it and rest! Apparently cats sleep an average of 20 hours a day. Wise creatures....

Jaysus, can you tell Hamish he's supposed to sleep 20 hours a day?! That wee fecker seems to have a stick of dynamite inserted up his bum! He's like the energizer bunny.

Were you busy today?

The shots are easy. I had a diabetic cat once that I had to give insulin to twice a day... needles have lost their fear factor since then. )

:H LMAO! He prolly thinks I'm a sloth! And he would be very correct with that assumption the last few days... I'm like the feckin tortoise to his hare!

I've always been B deficient Satzy. And I wasn't actually doing B-12s, I was doing B-Complex shots. Anemia runs in the family and also heavy drinkers are notoriously short on their B Vitamins (and amino acids). So if you add the drinking to the family history of anemia I can prolly never get enough B Vits... think it will be a lifelong thing. My bloodwork came back much better the last time but I'm still on the low side. Are we all bored now that I have described my B-Vit situation in every yawning detail?! :H

p.s. My liver enzymes are wee troopers... they're back to being happy campers!

Satz is back too! It's been like a morgue in here - and not a particularly busy one, either.

Never had it before, Satz - but I've been incredibly listless lately; I've heard than B12 can help. Have I got it all wrong?

That's lekker news! You can impress them with all of the Afrikaans words you've picked up from me over the years. They'll prolly just crack up laughing at your accent.

What did you make - did you find deboned chickies at the last minute?

Zen, memo sent off post haste to Hamish. Busy, not crazy busy, just a lot of balls to keep happy and off the floor.

Here is the yacht she works on now. It looks like she's just about to be promoted into the job I used to do when her and her husbo were working for me. Dead proud of her I am. Back in the day when the ex and I were running these things they were MUCH smaller... this freakin yacht has 28 crew. :egad: We used to have, like, 10 to 12! Things have come a long way.

Anyway, this is what my mate is working on... they're in Ft. Lauderdale at the mo.

I'm so TOTALLY going to say "lekker" every time I get a chance!!! Already had that planned! :H

He's not coming, just his wife. He's in Cape Town just now. They're on seperate yachts at the mo... will need to get filled in on what's what there. It's very hard to get work as a couple unbless you're a Captain & Wife team (which is what we were).
