Cat's Jumping In!!!

[BigToe]

do you ever find yourself thinking about lost virtual friends years after you last chatted, or is it a worry linked in closer time frames than that?

I suppose it depends how and why they left.
Often people let others know they are going or leave hints, the worrying ones are ones who seem distressed or upset when they go and then just disappear.
If it was someone I'd grown to know and like, if I felt they had gone unexpectedly, I guess even a long while later, I'd wonder/worry. But worry is always more intense in a closer time frame. and there's also the sense of feeling helpless about helping...
Something that can occur too irl

*snuggle*
(my joints are getting better enough for snuggles again...)

 

[BigToe]

Oh I am glad to hear your joints are snugglable again. Does that mean you are feeling better?

 

[Cat59]

Better than I was, they still ache but not as much as they were.
The blood test was a little better, so I've got a gap (four weeks) before the next...
But I'm now officially snuggable again, which is great.

What was/is wrong with your joints?

 

[Cat59]

I had a viral infection at the begining of August and developed an acute arthritis after that affected all my joints- fingers, hands, elbows, etc down to my feet. They all got hot and swollen and painful.
They're slowly improving and the blood test that measures inflammation is coming down, though it's still over twice the normal limit at the moment.
My GP tested me for Rheumatoid arthritis but it came back negative thankfully...
It hurt to even be touched through August but son2 hugged me tonight after I'd helped him with his homework and I didn't even get a twinge!

Holy cow! Sounds like some of what I went/am going through, though yours sounds much more painful.

Did they check you Fibromyalgia?

 

[Cat59]

No, it's limited to the joints and not muscles, which are also tender, I believe in fibromyalgia. It's an autoimmune disease (the body's antibodies attack the joint lining.) I'm just glad it's easing a bit- I haven't been well for 2 months now but i've not been able to take much time off...
*snuggle*- fibromyalgia is very painful, I hear...

 

[LibertyChic]

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

Will you go skydiving now that you're feeling so spry?

 

[Cat59]

Um no.
I am supposed to be doing a 50 mile sponsored walk at the end of October and at the moment I can just about manage a mile before folding...
I hope to be able to do 10 of it, I reckon...

You know I was joking...right?

Please don't push it. 10 is a LOOONG way to go when you're hurtin'.....

Hubbie would kill me if I pushed it and its his charity I'm doing it for (his Lourdes group.)
I spoke to the guy organising it and he says not to worry too much as they have back up cars i can hitch a lift in...
I've paid and I've also banked over £500 sponsorship money already so I have to do some of it...

 

[LibertyChic]

Oh very nice! I will be rooting you on from here.

Right...question....

What is the square root of a child procrastinating?

 

[Cat59]

mobile telephones (do you call them cell phones?)

I nearly had to throw one out the window to stop bedtime related procrastination...
One phone in hand of son2 x 1 phone in hands of gf of son2 = bedtime procrastination...

 

[LibertyChic]

What of homework procrastination?

 

[Cat59]

Ah....
The root of homework procrastination is also gf related.
I haven't quite worked out the precise details and I'm not sure I really want to, but it did result in homework for the week being left till 3pm on Tuesday...

I think you may be right. My precious little nine year old boy has a crush that goes by the name of "Jessica."

What do you suppose the chance are that she will return the Little Scientist's love?
