The ground level - in and out

[Kiyevanie]

Yeah... called in sick today after spending half the night awake, coughing my lungs out

[Elyris]

Uh-oh ... cold, cough or allergies ?

Who are a´those other 'guests' the system tells me are lurking around recendtly?

[Kiyevanie]

Morning
Still that cold on top of my allergy. Seriously - that sucks. But I'm better today; still not totally fine, but at least I got to sleep.

[flighter]

Guest is anyone who did not log in, or search engines (they can't log in anyway).

Good evening, everyone

February was the first month in the past nearly 3 years that we (as a family) did not end up in debt but wish some surplus even... One round of drinks on my account, for everyone

Flighters drink?

Anyway ... another crappy birthday, I guess. At least I got off tomorrow and next week. (Did I mention that I already mixed up and baked a cake bottom this morning?

Ah, coffee... yes...

I typically feed on coffee with a lot of milk. One tea-spoon of Ness or other instant coffee, 2 tea-spoons of sugar, some hot water to dillute it, then add 0.5 to 0.75 l of cold milk, and I am good to go. Then I repeat it a couple of times a day while working. So, I do take 1-2 liters of coffee, but effectively it is around 3 or 4 cups of coffee. Now comes mid. february 2019. I had a sort of flu, not sure... I was feeling really sick. I checked my blood pressure and it was well over 165/120. WAY too high. And it was getting worse by the minute. I look at my kids, like, hey, they need me, I need to do something about it right now. Not having the time to go to the hospital, which would involve driving for 15 minutes which is unsafe while so sick, I had to borrow wife's meds, and ate a handful of garlic... Over the next 10 hours, it dropped bit by bit to 140/100... and now it is nearly normal 130/90 and below.

Today I took the first coffee in nearly a month, had to...

Evening

Family's out of the house again so finally time for e osme rest (night ended at 3am, got up at 4:15, didn't stop since then).

I barely manage two cups of very mild latte a day (and only when I' mat work).

[Elyris]

Good morning ... surprise of the day: the workman said they're going to be here today at 8am to drill holes in my doors (or at least that's what I wrote down in my calendar) - they just came and took the first door (shortly after 7am)

[Kiyevanie]

Good morning
Wow - whoever would try to wans something from me around 7am would run into serious trouble and me in my pjs o_O

[Elyris]

I was indeed very lcuky that despite me being dead-tired I decided to get up 15 mins earlier than I anticipated I had to (so I was already cleaned and dressed properly) .... and so was that guy (he likely would've been blinded or something).

How's your cold, Kiy?

Hello folks! It has been some time since I've visited. Its been long enough I had to change my avatar.

I hope everyone is hanging in okay. Its surprising to think how the time has passed, almost eight years now since I traveled to Canada for the meetup some of us had for instance. I may have some of you already but I added my FB link to my profile if anyone cares to friend me.

I'm sure we're all still looking forward to the next Avatar movie. I just wish it hadn't taken this long.

[Elyris]

Morning

*sees Tsatu*

*runs to get a ball and chain*

[Tsatu]

Is that your way of saying you miss me?

How've you been Elyris?

[Xacoon]

Hey Tsatu!

long time no see!
