[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi everyone. Evie, so happy to hear from you again. Murray just gets water in a bown, no fancy fountains
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:28 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I just used a bowl for years, but when Luke got sick, we needed to tempt him into drinking more water more frequently, and most cats are more drawn to running water than still water, so we gave the fountain a try.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:53 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK. Glad you are here.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:07:54 PM EST] <The_Bee> feeling better, I hope?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:08:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi KK
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:08:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Did he drink more when you got the fountain?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:08:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> How are you managing your tasks, KK?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:18 PM EST] <KK> Better than last week, but it's been a hard week, 9 days now. I spent half of yesterday at the ER getting fluids and blood work. I think I'm on the mend now, but it's been tough.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> He drank a bit more, yes, but couldn't seem to master doing so without getting the top of his head wet too. 😂
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:56 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> So sorry you have been ill. Glad you are getting better
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:09:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Ugh, sorry to hear that, KK!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> blood work?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yikes, yuk.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:11 PM EST] <KK> Bee doing fine at watching Hallmark Christmas movies and some reading, but this was/is acute colonitis, and I don't recommend it.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not good to be sick
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I spent part of yesterday at the ER, but with my dad. But he's OK today. More crazy blood pressure fluctuations.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That does not sound good, KK
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:35 PM EST] <KK> Especially not right before Christmas.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:10:39 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> That sounds really miserable
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That sounds like such not fun for you. 😦
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:06 PM EST] <KK> I'm hoping I'll be well enough by next Saturday to enjoy a lovely Christmas dinner with friends.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hope so too, KK
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> We hope so too.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I hope you will be better and have a lovely Christmas
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:11:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> May you feel much better soon!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:02 PM EST] <KK> And I am just <tired> of dealing with all the clutter!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, wishes for feeling better and having a nice Christmas.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Are you with us, revanne?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hello, Revanne!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Yes, hi everyone
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:30 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Revanne!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Clutter can wait until you feel better, KK
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Revanne. Glad you are here
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Just sweep it under the rug
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:49 PM EST] <KK> Revanne! How are you doing, my dear?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:12:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Clutter is very stressful
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:13:17 PM EST] <KK> But the clutter is very depressing, and I'm not normally a depressed person.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:13:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> I'm sort of OK that is the best that can be expected I think
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:13:52 PM EST] <KK> True enough.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> One step at a time
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My house looks like Hell's antechamber these days, since I haven't been able to declutter as much as I need to since having two shoulder injuries and then a back injury all in a row, so I just do what I can when I can while the rest of it piles up. 😦
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> Was the end peaceful for your DH?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> So grateful that DH was at home for his last 4 days
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, Evie
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:42 PM EST] <DesertRose> My house looks like a craft store and an office supply store exploded together all over it.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:46 PM EST] <KK> Yes. Home is best.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Home is the best place to be
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:14:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hugs for Revanne and a quiet meow from Gigi, who just joined us.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> But I'm doing well just to keep up with dishes and laundry and the rest of it is having to go hang.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Yes thank youvBee
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi there, Evie
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm glad DH was home with family when he left you, but it must be rough. Carys purrs at you and I'm offering a hug or several.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I was glad that your DH was able to pass peacefully at home with his family around him
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Thanks Evie and Gigi
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Much the best to be at home, and not in the hospital
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:15:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:16:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:16:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK, KK DR, Bee, Revanne and Jerusha
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:16:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> He was so scared of years of what the dementia was doing to him he doesn't have to face that now
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:17:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But wow, there's no good time to lose your spouse, but it seems particularly hard at this time of year.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:17:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm glad he and your family were spared that, Revanne.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:17:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Glad that it did not come to pass, revanne
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:17:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. Dementia/Alzheimer's is a very tough diagnosis. Not only does it take so much away from the patient, but it makes life very hard for their caretakers and loved ones.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:18:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> But I am sorry that it means this grief for you.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:18:52 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> It is hard this time of ear. I lost my mom. a favorite uncle and a favorite aunt at Christmas. When the phone rings, I am always afraid to pick it up
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Sometimes over the last year he didn't know who I was and that was very hard
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> KK, sorry to hear that you
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That would be very hard, revanne
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:19:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> have had such a difficult, unpleasant week
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:20:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:20:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Gigi has commandeered both arms, so please excuse me being mostly silent so as not to disturb Her Majesty
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:20:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Know that we are thinking f you and sending love and hugs
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:20:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We understand purrfectly, Evie
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:21:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope you have family and friends who are there for you, Revanne.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:21:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We know how it is to be incapussitated
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:21:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Yes thank you Bee
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:22:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> I am hoping to getvpets again in the new year. A cat first and then build up to a small dog.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:22:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think that sounds like a good idea, Revanne.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:23:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Always nice to have a companion in the house who is glad to see you
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:23:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A good idea, revanne!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:23:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'm hoping to get my Christmas shopping done.  I've barely started.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:23:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> I had been thinking that would be a good idea for you, Revanne, a furry friend.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:24:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> DR, loved the images of the cats who invaded the various nativity scenes. =o)
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:24:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> You could name one Duncan 😄
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:24:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Furry friends are a big help
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:24:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Duncat
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:24:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think Evie has a good idea. =o)
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:25:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> Mssachusetts has just received a large shipment of adoptable cats cats from the storm-struck states.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:25:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I named the first cat I had as an adult Isadora Duncat. She was a tremendous leaper whenever I brought out the cat dancer toy
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:25:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> But if it was mischievous it would have to be Morgan
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> I remember you talking about Dizzy Izzy, Shiral.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh my gosh, I had a rat named Isadora Duncan once
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I have a friend whose black cats were named Morgan and Alaric
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, Izzy of blessed memory
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> That's asking for trouble Evie!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:26:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> My black cat was named MERLIN, THE MAGIC CAT
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:27:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a plate of Christmas cookies and some hot chocolate
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:27:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sorry, hit the caps lock
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:27:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha is my first very own cat.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:27:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri sends you his purrs, Revanne
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:27:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Rented fingers do that, DFK
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:28:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yummy Christmas cookies
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:28:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Thank you Dimitri
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:28:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He also recommends the acquisition of at least one kitty when you're ready
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:29:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Gigi's full name is....(let's see if I can remember this properly)...Giraffe Giraffe Pickle Annabeth Sophronia I-Nibble-Toes [Surname]
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:29:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:29:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Naming night was a fun event. 😄
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:29:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> So she's decided to let you do a little typing, Evie?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:30:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She's still draped over my right wrist, but I extricated the other one
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:30:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She's taken on Luke's mantle of being The Incapussitator
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:30:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> DD1 is organising looking for a kitty through the RSPCA - animal welfare charity- for me.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:09 PM EST] Join Imladris (Imladris@owirc-37g.6ok.71.216.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I have a great grand named Sophronia...
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> HI Imladris
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:27 PM EST] <Imladris> Good evening, all
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Hi lmladris
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi I
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:31:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sophronia is a name that absolutely SCREAMS "I'm someone's great Aunt and I disapprove of everyone in my field of vision."
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:32:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I hope you are able to get one soon, and that Covid won't prevent you being able to adopt. I have a friend in Derby who wanted to adopt a second cat at the start of lockdown, thinking it would be a great time to acclimate one to living with him and his older cat since he was stuck at home, but the shelters weren't letting anyone adopt cats yet. I think you could claim one online, but not pick it up until the lockdown lifted.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:32:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> As if that person was born at about age 80
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:32:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Didn't Rob Reginald want to name one of Kelson's future daughters Sophonisba?
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:03 PM EST] <Imladris> Was told when we were in Germany, that my daughter's name is an old person's name
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL, doesn't it though, Shiral? That's why my fanfic character Sophie hated her full name. 😄
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That was Alaric Morgan's second daughter. Fortunately KK thought better of it
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thank goodness
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sophia is a much nicer name
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:33:55 PM EST] <Imladris> [She is an Anneliese]
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:34:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Yes, hopefully we aren't headed for another lockdown after Christmas though the signs are ominous
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:34:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Sophronia was the name of the youngest child in a book series I liked as a kid, but she was nicknamed Phronsie.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:34:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I like the name Anneliese
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:34:37 PM EST] <Imladris> I do too...:-)
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:34:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I thought Alaric's second daughter was Grania and i like that name
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:35:04 PM EST] <Imladris> I live in a state w/o lockdowns...
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:35:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mother had a friend named Anneliese who was Swedish. One Christmas she invited us over to see her Christmas tree which was lit with actual candles.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:35:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Names go in and out of fashion.  Every old person was young once.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:35:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It is, DFK. But Sophonisba is in there, somewhere.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:35:58 PM EST] <Imladris> The pastor at the church I went to in Wyoming... was from Denmark.  They used candles on the tree too.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:21 PM EST] <KK> Sorry, had another mad bathroom dash. I think I'd better sign off so that I can encamp closer to the bthroom.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I doubt anyone in California would be allowed to light a Christmas tree with candles now. But it WAS a magical, beautiful thing to see.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, KK. I hope things improve
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> You take care kk, and have a good Christmas...
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> So sorry! I hope you feel better soon
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:36:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> So sorry you are still feeling so rough KK - thank you for all your kindness
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope those insides settle down!
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> On Saint Lucia's Day, Norwegian girls wear lighted candles in their hair.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I started to say I hope it will pass soon, but under the circumstances.... 🙂
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:09 PM EST] <Imladris> feel better.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tsk, tsk, Evie 🙂
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sorry it is still causing you probems. Hope you are well soon. Have a happy Chiristmas
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think that's celebrated all over Scandinavia, Bee. The brave wear candles, but I think they often have battery powered crowns, now
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:51 PM EST] <KK> To all of you, have the happiest Christmas you can manage under the circumstances. And I hope to be back next week, in better health.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:37:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> Take care of yourself, KK.  Have a better week and a happy Christmas.
[Sunday, December 19, 2021] [7:38:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a merry Charistmas, KK, and feel better very soon
