Yes, I am still alive!

Sorry for the extended absence, I have hurt my back and sitting (especially at the computer desk) for any prolonged amount of time just aggravates it. It is slowly getting better and I can now manage a short period on the computer without it hurting too much, so I am hoping that it will be fully recovered soon.

I still have a few banners to make for my seasonal_spuffy banner request (which is still open, if anyone would like personalised art-work), so they are my first priority as soon as I am able to sit at the computer long enough to actually do something constructive.

I hope everyone is keeping well. *love to all my F'list* If I've missed anything important, please let me know about it in the comments because I don't think I have a hope in hell of playing catch-up.

In other news, I am going to be a Nana sometime in May. I'm still undecided as to how I feel about this...babies are lovely, and my daughter and son-in-law are very happy, but I am sure I'm too young to be a grandmother. lol

LOL - If I have to be a grandmother, so do you! lol (although, yes, you actually are a bit young, whereas I....)

Oh honey!!! I am so sorry about your back! I hope it mends completely soon!

:::holds good thoughts for you:::

Yikes! Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you are on the mend for good. :)

Congratulations on your Nana news. I am sure as well you're too young to be a grandmother, but that thought will fly out the window the moment you see that little face next spring.

Oh, and I was raving about you on my LJ a couple of weeks ago as a pivotal contributor to my seasonal_spuffy piece in terms of chatting it out with me, so now I'm happy to have the chance to thank you myself!

Awww, sorry to hear about your back troubles. Those can REALLY be awful. Glad to hear from you, though. :)

Congratulations! Also, I'm sorry to hear about your back. I'm glad you're feeling better, though.

Hell, if I have to be a grandmother (if only by marriage), then it's not so bad, is it??

[abelina.livejournal.com]

Of course you're too young to be a grandmother. Think of it this way though -- because of your youth, you'll have more energy than all those other grandmothers, which means you'll pretty much be the best Nana out there!

Congrats!

I've been there, with the back pain -- glad you're doing better. Also, congrats -- but again, I'm with you on the mixed feelings!

I am going to be a Nana sometime in May. I'm still undecided as to how I feel about this...babies are lovely, and my daughter and son-in-law are very happy, but I am sure I'm too young to be a grandmother. lol

Congratulations even if you are a young thing.

Ouch for sore back!

As for the grandmother bit - as I said to someone the other day we are all much to young to be as old as we are...

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the coming grandbaby-- that's very exciting!

And much, much sympathy on the bad back. Ouch!

[cordykitten]

Sorry to hear about your back; hope you'll be okay soon.
And congrats for the new baby (even if you're young to be one). :)

[selene2.livejournal.com]

Aw! I'm sorry to hear that you messed up your back. That is the worst. :(

But, YAY, for the good news! Though you are way too young to be a Grandma!

I am so excited for you guys. *hugs*

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL I was actually half-joking with the too young thing.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. It's getting better--slowly.

[abelina.livejournal.com]

Joking? Nah, of course you're too young! ;)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey!

I am glad to have been of some help, although I didn't really do much...I'm always more than happy to chat!

I shall have to play catch-up over at Seasonal_Spuffy...my son is in his last couple of weeks of school so our schedule has been thrown off by exam blocks etc this last week. He is essentially finished now, just has to basically show up for the last few days next week and do nothing in order to have officially completed his 12 years of schooling.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. It's mostly better, but now that I'm no longer stuck on the couch popping anti-inflammatories I think the rest of the healing process is going to be a bit slower, I just have to try not to over do things.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL Thanks, sweetie!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, I personally thought they'd be better off waiting a year or two at least, but this is what they wanted so...

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL Thank you!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

we are all much to young to be as old as we are... Definitely!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The back is slowly healing, I just have to try not to overdo things (especially the time spent on the computer. *cries*)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie!

The back just really has me stumped because I went to bed fine and woke up barely able to move, and I have no idea what I could have done to it.

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

I hope the pace of recovery accelerates!
