So glad to hear this, Sandra. Take it easy. My thoughts are with you.
I'm not doing much reviewing at the moment, but I'll try to look in on the new adventures from time to time.

Thank you, Tony. It's good to be able to write again. I can understand you not reviewing much, not whilst you are in the throes of moving. That in itself is stressful. You take care! Sandra xx

Aw, Jackie, you are such a good friend. I am trying to get the next chapter done, so fingers crossed. I made a big error in chapter 8 and ten, I put the two nasty men in two places miles apart at almost the same time, so I've had to give them two brothers! Lol It works, thankfully. Thank you, my friend, I've really missed you, too. Love and hugs. Sandra xxxx

I'm so very sorry to gather you've been ill again, so many of us were poorly over Christmas (I spent a month in hospital). It reads as though for you it was Covid once more - please take care and look after yourself, do as much as you can (that's good for morale, recovery and all sorts of things), but no more (that can be dangerous). kay (I tweaked my name a bit to celebrate surviving 2022)

I like your 'tweaked' name, and I think it's a great idea to celebrate surviving 2022, it was a horrible year! I was glad to see the back of it. My 2023 hasn't started very well, but I'm working on it. Thank you, my dear friend. Sending love and hugs to you for surviving!! :)) Sandra xx

Well that is fantastic news, Sandra. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You will come right again with some time, rest and gentle activity under your wings and the TLC of family.
So glad you are writing again. I have a personal story project I've been working on for a while but I cannot for the life of me get cracking on it. Mojo has left the building. The editing and adding to it seems draining to think about. How you manage after what you have been through makes me realise I have to pull my finger out!... At some point sooner than later.
Warm hugs and much improved health to you. ~DDxox

Thank you so much, DD. You made me smile, it sometimes takes a while to get our Mojos back, I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can do this. You'll do it, but you need to set targets, little ones so you know you can do it. Once you start, your Mojo will be all excited and carry on. Thank you, my friend, you've really put a smile on my face. Love and hugs. Sandra xxx

Thank you, Sandra. You have now put a smile on my face. I shall think about dangling some little carrot targets too and see if I can trap my mojo back into action. Thank you and have a restful day :-) ~DD xox

I'm so glad that you are getting better. It's so not easy when most of useful professions are on strike. It's nice to be optimistic and cheerful which is what I hear from this piece.

Get better very soon.

Yes, I'm feeling so much better, Jasmine. I have to remember I still have a way to go, but it's so nice to have my head clear of the fog that left me so fuddled. Thank you, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Hello Sandra. Marvelous news! Sounds like things are going in the right direction.
What a smart hubby, not only to get you to the hospital in time, but to add the word 'cute' in there for your voice. Before long you'll just be saying 'ribbit' like a normal frog.
But crikey, what a mess the health care system is, and trains workers, firemen. Sounds like the whole country is going mad.
And now your brain is working again. This could be very dangerous. :)
An extra star to light the way back to us.

Best wishes, best health, my friend.
Robert

Thank you, Robert. Yes, Graham and Chris were brilliant. I daren't think what would have happened had they not got me to the hospital.
And you, my friend, thank you for being so thoughtful and advising us to take the vitamins. We have them every day now, and will continue for the rest of our super long lives!
Hey! My brain is sweet and gentle! LOL
Thank you for the extra star, my dear friend, I really appreciate it, but you most of all. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

That is good news, Sandra. I am glad you are feeling better and able to write again. I am sure getting out in the fresh air helped to perk you up. It was sunny here today and cold, but a nice walk felt good. Still keeping you in my prayers.

Thank you, Anne, for your such kind thoughts and your prayers. I know they have helped me. I had a short walk, but couldn't manage as far as I'd hoped. I'll build up to it slowly. Love and hugs, dear friend.

reply by Anne Johnston on 01-Feb-2023

You are welcome, Sandra. Better to take it slowly.

Ah, it's so good to hear your voice (on paper of course). I'm glad you're telling us you are progressively getting better! Your brain never stopped working, just took a little vacation time off.
I hope the lung test shows favorable results.
Be well my friend. John

Aw, thank you, John. It's so nice to have you back on FS, I really missed you. As for my brain taking a vacation, it seems to do that quite often now. Lol. Thank you for your cheering words, my friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

What great news. I've been looking for a story from you. So glad that you wrote to tell us that you are improving slowly. The covid can do lots of damage. Glad that you went to the doctor, covid is nasty!

Aw, thank you, Rosemary. Covid was the start for what followed, people must understand they have to take care. It will take time before I'm up and running again, but a slow walk will be fine for now. :) Thank you, my friend, Love and hugs. Sandra xx
