1:48 am

rebelsass

HA!

1:51 am

rebelsass

how have you been lately? things around here have just been the same lately. still struggling with the sleep issue, and waiting for the summer to end so I can go back to school in the fall.

1:54 am

sprite

struggling here as well. Both with sleep and with health issues. Sounds like you are really looking forward to school! Both for the mental stimulation and for the company?

1:55 am

rebelsass

Uh, geeeeeeee.....am I that transparent?? how'd you guess that one so quickly?? :) LOL

1:55 am

sprite

:D

2:01 am

rebelsass

remind me sprite, what's the health issue again so i can put ya'll on the prayer roll at church???

2:05 am

sprite

that is lovely, thank you so much. For me it is cptts and bad joints, chronic pain and trouble sleeping.

2:05 am

sprite

cptss*

2:10 am

rebelsass

that's right! i'll try to go to mass tomorrow since there's only one during the day. and it's in english.

2:12 am

sprite

very much appreciated. I do not go to church, but I do pray and I hold you in my prayers too.

2:15 am

rebelsass

awwwww, thank you! Lord knows i could use all the prayers i can get lately! i've been sleepwalking through the house again. well, not necessarily again, because this is a new environment, but the actual act of sleepwalking is not new to me, which is why i say again.

2:15 am

sprite

ah yes, I understand. Not a fun development that it is popping up again for you.

2:17 am

rebelsass

nope, not fun at all. at least i'm not sleep eating or cooking. THAT would really be scary. or even worse, sleep driving.

2:17 am

sprite

ugh yeah, bad, all three of those. Any possibility of limiting your sleepwalking to the bedroom at least?

2:20 am

rebelsass

not yet. i have to fix the door. it doesn't latch completely yet. i have to disassemble the latch from the jamb and cut a new hole for the latch to fit into the groove from the door, and then maybe the door will finally fit into the door jamb.

2:20 am

sprite

quite the job

2:21 am

rebelsass

the joys of buying an older brick house. it's settled quite a bit since 1968.

2:21 am

sprite

indeed. Lots of stuff like that but so nice to have a home with character

2:23 am

rebelsass

oh yeah! this house has tons of character! there's no shortage of character, just a shortage of patience at times. (giggle)

2:23 am

sprite

*giggles* Sounds like me

2:24 am

rebelsass

*giggle*

2:33 am

sprite

well, that is fireflies for me. Have a lovely day, rebel, and I will pray for a better sleep for you. *hugs*

2:33 am

rebelsass

thank you, and i hope you have a good night as well! *hugs*
