I feel that one, though for me it's more the blend of symptoms from a few things. hugs We aren't meant to conquer the world, nice as it may be for us if we could. Just be kind and be your best self. That's what's in our power <3

Def. sounds like possible stones. I'd ask them about it specifically. I hope you feel better asap!

Yay!

If not for lack of money and excess of pain and/or fatigue, I would... conquer my life, tbh. I have no interest in conquering the world haha. I just want to have a cozy life in a cottage in the woods with my and our cats, is that so much to ask? ;;_;; haha

- Well, if he wants to talk to someone (who has not read the last book yet and doesn't want spoilers ;) ) then my comments are open to him. :) I don't recognize those acronyms. Are you reading the one about fairytales, the reinvention of beauty and the beast? That's my favorite. If you are reading that one, CASSIAN is all I'll say. swoons 😂 And as for your question:

If it weren't for myself, I'd have taken over the world by now. I am, seriously, my own worse enemy. XD

- That doesn't sound good. Usually my side hurts when my kidney is having a fit. My kidney doc said to keep drinking lots of water with some cranberry juice interspersed. He also said not to worry unless there was bloood or a strange change in color (like your urine turns blue kind of strange.) He also said take Tylenol (Paracetemol) and avoid ibuprofen at all costs as it damages the kidneys. I really hope you feel better soon, it'd suck to be sick for Christmas. :/

- Yay for the tree! We put our Halloween themed tree up last night. Hubby keeps moving the ornaments around and my youngest son keeps putting them back where they were . 😂

got the tree now to decorate it.. lol!

i looked up kidney stones but all i got is pain and no other symptoms... Well lets wait until monday as they asked and then go from there.... Will ask then if it's not possably that.. And drinking my fluits, taking paracetamol (i can't have ibuprofen due of my gastric bypass) and my cranberry tablets.... Sheesh!

Won't be on tomorrow Colonge Christmas Market is on!

That sounds lovely. I too don't want to conquer the world, though I guess if doing so meant everyone would finally just freaking be nice to each other it would be worth the work lol. I just want to be a hobbit and live in my little happy hobbit hole and read my books and be at peace. (Except for all the dogs and cats who laugh at the idea of my house truly being "peaceful" for a whole day ahaha).

Oh sorry ACOTAR is the Court of Thorns and Roses ones, so Cassian indeed. swoons with you. CC is Crescent City - the newer one that also feels more "modern" and is tying things together. And then of course TOG which is Throne of Glass, her first series and the longest one.
Hahaha, I think we all are in some ways. Though capitalism is a great enemy of most of the humans on the planet too. waves fist and begins a 45 minute rant Omg your hubby and youngest having the ornament war is cracking me up.

Yay! We were so bad this year, we didn't pull things out of storage (yet) and when we do we have to probably clean it and toss most of it thanks to the flooding from the storms so we just bought a new tree online that is fake and came with lights on it hahaha. But hey, it's something!

I hope whatever it is is resolved asap. And yaaay for the market! I hope it's wonderful!

same here but the doctor said i have to wait until monday and then call back unless the pain gets worse.

Yay! Thanks! Can't wait! So off to bed almost 11pm!

- Have fun decorating! :D

- Oh, ok. You read them in a different order then I did. I read Throne of glass first, then A court of thron and roses, and lastly the Crescent city books. you'll still get the overarching storyline the way your read it. ;)

- take care of yourself, don't push it tomorrow. I hope you have a fabulous time and that you feel ok all day. :D

Hope everything will be ok. And I loved the little tree. (I hope that was you... sorry if it wasn't.) I used to really like reading Brandon Sanderson. I loved everything. :) But can't read much anymore due to migraines. Happy decorating! Hope you feel better soon. Lol about your tree and the dissention of where to put the decorations! Waves Hope you are better too.

Waves to everyone I missed. <3

Hey all. Merry Lumi!

Monday I fell down at the dump. We backed into the spot up a steep slope. There was a parking block that stopped the wheels, and after that it was level. I was trying to help Cory unlash the tie down on the side of the truck and suddenly I hit the concrete and rolled a couple times. I don't remember tripping on the block but I might have. Luckily didn't hit my head - glad not to get billed for breaking something! lol But I did hit my right leg and hip and scraped my left elbow and left knee. Ugh! Hurts but not terrible. The girl that drives the little truck around saw it and jumped out to help me. She and Cory got me up and I was relieved to not have anything broken. My elbow was bleeding from the scrape but I didn't see my knee until later. My right leg and hip is swollen and really pretty. All purple and blue. I didn't see that until later either, but I sure felt it. Then I started laughing. I told them, "I got tumped at the dump!" It's still funny to me, but I don't think they thought so. Esp Cory. She kept asking if I was alright and did I want to call 911. I told her no. She asked if I was sure I was ok. I told her my leg and hip was bruised and so was my ego, but other than that I would live. lol

Praying for all involved in the car hitting people at the Christmas market in Germany and asking that our people on here who where at a Christmas market in Germany today are safe! Please let us know! ♥️♥️♥️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻

- Emory went to the Christmas Market in Cologne. The news said the accident happened in Madgeberg (spelling is probably wrong.) So, I'm hoping that means Emory wasn't there.

- Oh, no! Are you sure you don't need to get hour leg x-rayed? It could be cracked and you don't realize it. I'm so sorry this happened and hope it heals quickly. Hugs As for reading and migraines, have you tried audio books? I find it easy to listen to audio books when I've got a headache. Granted it's not migraine level but it just may work for you. :) And the Ornament Wars went up a notch last night. Hubby waited until our son was asleep and removed all the ornaments and put them back in all the wrong places. You should have heard our son this morning. 😂 😂 😂 I was laughing so hard I was crying. Amazingly, our son removed the ornaments and put them all back in their original placess. I asked hubby how he knew and he said he took pics of the tree before he removed the ornaments. Oh, to have my son's memory capabilities again. 😂

Some of you may have noticed friend requests from me. As I was stuffing Luminaire trees I noticed that some people were missing from my friend's list. If you didn't get a request but think you should, send one to me. No one is turned dow, the more the merrier! :D

That is great to hear they weren’t at that Christmas market Thank you for letting me know! ouch and ouch! That fall sounded painful and I hope you heal up quickly. So many not feeling well or hurting and I’m thinking of you all and praying for you too. Merry Lumi to everyone!! Today was my last day to work until after the new year (two week winter break) and it will be so nice to sleep in 😊

I am ok! I was in Colonge for the christmas market. We where in the car when we heard the news on the radio, horrible..

Was home late and had to get up early for work... So tired now, done my dailies and melody so hello couch!

So have had acid reflux kicking my butt the last few days. Haven't been eating much due to my stomach issues.

On the brighter side I'm actually surprised by an A03 comment. I'm used to people overreacting to fics so have seen some truly insane reactions over the years. But today is the first day someone has claimed to have issued a DMCA take down because they don't like my fic.

When they insulted my writing skills by saying it the fic had to be AI generated that was normal. Haven't had that happen before but it was just another way of saying they don't like my fic.

But claiming legal action just makes the comment gold. Didn't approve the comment but that is one for the books XD

- you're very welcome. No point worrying if you don't have to. ;)

- I'm very glad you're ok although the news out of Magdaberg just keeps getting worse. Why do people do stuff like that?And around the holidays, too. Ugh. You must be really tired having been on the go all day. Whenyou're up to it, tell me everything you saw. :P :D

lol i can understand that and a fake tree is a tree :)

i had, needles everywhere lol!

i was not with her but how horible at the christmas market, all those people....

3 more sleeps and it's christmas!!!

The attack at the Christmas market was terrible. I feel so bad for everyone who was there, victims and witnesses.

Hope you're taking care of yourself after that fall and are recovering well! ❤️

Hope you are feeling better soon. ❤️

The market was wonderfull, throughout the city they had multiple ones. Some where small, some bag. One even had an ice rink! I can't skate..

Bought some nice stuff, eaten nice foods and where home late and had an early morning for work the next day (not off until x-mas). So bit tired.. As long as i stand i am ok but as soon as i sit down and relax i am tired!

We heard the news about the attac when we where in the car on the way back... So horrible and all those people.. :(

that sounds wonderful and I’m glad you had a good time and nice food ♥️ I bet you’re tired! Hopefully you can get some good rest soon 😊

would love to see a picture of your tree! Real tree = needles everywhere 😂 but the smell is wonderful!

please update us on how you’re doing after that fall! Hopefully your not too sore today 🥰

Yes,I tend to waste too much time worrying about stuff that never happens so great advice! How’s your hand doing? Oh, I love the shenanigans going on between your husband and son 😁 I took my son to see “Nightmare Before Christmas” when it first came out! I bet the ornaments are awesome! Are they the ones getting moved around?

So many here are sick or hurt so I’m praying all of you feel better soon! oh boy do I understand gastric issues so I hope yours settle down soon 😔

I wish each of you a very merry Luminaire 🎄

Thanks :)

I think I might be able to eat more than soup for dinner tonight. Really want to be able to enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners. The first will be from a very good restaurant and the second will be homemade.

I'm glad you're okay :)

I can move in ice skates but I wouldn't say I'm good at it XD
