December Army (Chrimbo) 2016

[Rusty]

Good Morning, Army! It's Saturday so I slept in until 5:00 AM. Hahahah!!

Brilliant post, Satz!

Jacks-I love your holiday avatar. What a wonderful charity!

[paulywogg]

Great post Satz stupid phone wouldn't let me "like" it

[starty]

Mebbees he's forgotten to put his specs on.
Wish we could have a Mario tracker like the Santa tracker............we could find out where he is on his journey.

Starty, darling, try not to overthink it. Harder to do than say, I know...... Once Mr JC admitted that he had a problem with his hip ( bleeding obvious to every one else) and went to the doctors, got the x-rays it was a relief. He'll need his other one doing in a few years but it holds no fear as he's been through it once. Very inconvenient for about 4 weeks but he now walks without pain.

You are right, now I know I just have to deal with it. The challenge will be interesting cos I will make it so Another worry I had is that my work are changing the private health care to another provider on Jan 1st and I was a bit worried that I wouldnt be able to carry on my treatment as it will be pre existing now. My boss has told me its OK and that wont happen. Phew!!

Can Mr JC do everything and not notice he has a false hip or does he have to avoid stuff? Could he run do you think?

[starty]

I'm bookending.
Morning lovelies...........can someone open the sick bay I'm feeling dreadful,..........all snotty and tired and headachy and sick.

On yesterday's bus my driver was dressed as Tigger and the on the one back a punk. They're collecting for a charity called Tommy's..........Tommy’s - Funding research, saving babies' lives

Sorry you are feeling poorly. Here, have a hot cross bun they are a cure for all ills tesco-easter-hot-cross-buns.jpg

Morning Army.
Was out to lunch with extended family yesterday.
I couldn't help but notice the dynamics of those drinking and those not drinking.
My BIL had one drink - selfishly couldn't be bothered to hang around & took off home to 'go out' (and drink properly) . An insult to be honest.
My 2 sisters and Mr Satz were guzzling and forever looking at the glass wondering if they should chance another.
Their faces when I said I was going - I had to drive them all home.
Trying to make me feel the party pooper .....

The total selfishness of the drinkers - brought it home that I would have been exactly the same in the day. Always trying to manoeuvre things to get the next drink. Be nice to the driver etc etc.... jesus....
How fecking exhausting is all that......

Thank the Universe for soberdom & MWO :love:

Ah god I would have told them all to feck off

We are going to my bros for chrimbo, Mr S told me dont worry about driving he will avoid the sauce and drive. Told him not to worry as it will raise less questions if I say I am driving rather than if neither of us drink. Nice thought tho.

Starts
I reached a stage in my life where FECK is not a strong enough word.
Update:
BIL that was too tired to stay and mingle with us yesterday - went out and didn't come home 'till 3 am :egad:
Mr S in a huff because I won't go out again - this time to meet his brother & wife - that he sees every week. He is going racing with them tomorrow - FFS !!

AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHH !!! :rant:

[starty]

Oh poor you Satz. Can you not just do your own thing and be left in peace? Me and Mr S do a lot apart purely cos we dont like the same things often. It works and no one is offended. Did you used to like doing all the social shite?

[starty]

x post Molls. How are you? Did you do your party?

[satz123]

I did it Starts - can't say I was ever fond of it. Just for a long time it was kinda the only way to get a drink - till I discovered it was perfectly ok to drink wine at home.
Mr S's twin and his wife are still at it and joined at the hip -well she goes to everything 'cos again it means a drink. It used to be the four of us.
But I like to think one of us has grown up

[starty]

Have you tried to explain to him how you really feel?

[starty]

Nope - had a row with Joe- he really pissed me off so wasn't in the mood for chit-chat

Oh no, have you made it up now? Christmas is such a stressy time

[starty]

Ah it's somethin and nothing- came to bed with my book and blissful solitude ;-)

Wonderful Bed and a book is one of my fave activities these days

Getting it straight from Mr JC's mouth: Yes he could run, with proper training and loosing a bit of weight. You're not aware of anything being in there . First year the new hip's getting comfy (my words not his).........so there's certain bending that you can't do, but that's all explained. You'd prolly see your surgeon every 3 months to start, then 6 months and then a year and now two yearly.............now this is all on the NHS. Not at all sure how it would run with private insurance.

He even got to pick the colour of the new ball bit............it's pink.

Wow! Maybe I should just ask for new hips. He is saying I should never run as it will cause more damage at the moment.

How are you feeling?

At the moment it could (where do I put the proviso I'm not a doctor ). Mr JC had this swaying kind of walk as he favoured one leg over the other.

Most uncomfortable thing for him was lying on his back for 12 weeks and getting his surgical stocking on. When he went to bed and trying to stop Bess getting on his knee (she sharp realised there was something not quite right with him).

Still feeling grotty, bit better since I got out of my pit.
