Round 113, Hour -1

[a_phoenixdragon]

Because we had this hour wandering around all lost and alone (according to The Time-Table), so I'm setting it gently down right here so it can be surrounded by the other Posts, as it should be.

Hour 0 coming soon!

Until then, feel free to share thoughts, ideas, penguins, baked goods and Things That Have Words here!

Happy stray post is happy. My work here is done.

[a_phoenixdragon]

LOL!

*Twirls you!*

[badly_knitted]

*twirls* Thank you! Chalk it up to birthdaty giddiness caused by way too much chocolate gateau. =D

[a_phoenixdragon]

Ohh, Happy Birthday!! *Dances*

way too much chocolate gateau.

Never any such thing, lol! But there was chocolate to be had...so why not? :D

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

I ate half the gateau myself, barely had anything else to eat today. Had to give the rest away because it had to be eaten within 24 hours of defrosting and I couldn't manage the whole thing *grins*

[a_phoenixdragon]

I'm glad it will be properly eaten, though! How kind of you to share! I myself would have selfishly eaten the whole thing...but I admit I can be an ass like this. The first step is admitting you HAVE the problem, yes? *Grins*

I must say, though, you must go and find more substantial foodstuffs soon, tho. Things take Energy to do. Even naps. Puzzles though...they require protein. *Nods*

*Fusses a bit*

I have a lot of food intolerances and stomach problems so I have to be careful. Besides, my neighboyrs have done a lot for me over the years and I like to share. Living alone means I don't have anyone in the house to share with.

Breakfast was fruit and yoghurt though, so I did get a bit of protein. Today will be healthier eating, but birthdays are for self-indulgence. They're only once a year!

[a_phoenixdragon]

Och...definitely be careful then! And I'm glad you have such awesome neighbors that you can share with, talk to - and that there is mutual help going on. That is lovely and makes me smile! Especially when one lives alone, one should be able to depend on others who live nearby.

Yay! And yes, birthdays only come once a year and should be celebrated. :D Indulging now and again never hurts, really.

I'm lucky, I've lived here all my life, my lovely neighbours have been here a feww years less but I've known them since I was young. It's good to have people around I can count on. Especially now mum is gone.

[a_phoenixdragon]

That is so awesome! Especially as your Mum is gone. I am sorry to hear that, hon. I know it doesn't get any easier, even with time.

*HUGS*

6 years ago today. Makes my birthday kinda rough, but this year has been better than the last 5. I doubt I'll ever stop missing her.

[a_phoenixdragon]

I am so sorry...that is super hard. I'm glad it is getting better, but yes, I can see how you will always miss her. She is your mum after all.

*Sends extra hugs*

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Life goes on I guess, and no one lives forever no matter how much we might wish they would.
