My Diary place
Not sure who will read it or if anyone wants to, so I guess it is for me. I can put things here when I need to and if you are reading this remember it is just the ramblings of me. So I will put things here and it will not get in anyone elses way.
@Avaray I looked at Dee Henderson and her books are well… kind of for oldies and I have read books from the 19th century so that is saying something, not sure what though. I was perhaps thinking more of legends and fairy tales, you can pick the [European] country. If you are feeling brave then a ghost story but it has to be the morning or keep every light on just in case you get scared (which means me). I will even try to do the voices 
Good luck for the orthopaedic surgeon, hopefully it is much better by which I mean hopefully the Avaray has been good *looks at you with a stern look*. Dissolvable stitches that is the work of magic or such me thinks. Where do they go? No one knowns! So, then you have a brace thing, try to keep that on although I get the grumpy part. Once it is all better, do they have to do the other hand? Sorry I forgot but I think you said both. You will be fixed soon just remember it will hopefully keep you fixed for a while.
My bestest friend is learning to drive in the spring, she is getting so grown up. I still have to wait a year I think it is 16, then you cannot drive without an adult until you are 18 [it is confusing] but I will see how Sophie does because its kind of is a lot of responsibility. Do not drive unless you can do it in a safe manner, do not make me get the stern look out again. It is only 11 more sleeps until Christmas, might be 10 for you and on the 20th we leave here and head for granny and granddad who will both be at the airport. Yea… so I will be crying at the airport for good reasons. I am heading for one less sleep, school was difficult today and I did not get to go walkies with Molly. Any who, ni ni Avaray.
@Avaray *huggles* I think granddad might be older than you but we are not sure how old he is. I think that you would be a ghost story kind of person, I will bring torches, oh a torch is like a candle but modern hehe. Update me on Tuesday please 
I need to know because of the naughty and nice list, let's say you might be on the boarder (that is the wrong word but sounds the same) but I cannot tell you anything else of course. Only 10 more sleeps
@AmalieAnne
Hey chop 😀
I finally got that thing off me yesterday... But now i have a splint formed on my hand/thumb/arm to emobilise it for 6 weeks so scar tissue can build up where the took the bone out and put the tendon in. Been uncomfortable/sore. Then after 6 weeks the ot exercises start. But the positive is i am alowed to remove it for about half an hour a day, so the thought of having that moments of freedom are helping me be a tad less grumpy. My orthopedic surgeon said my scar looks like something from a Harry potter movie. I don't watch his movies but i think it's because it looks like a lightening bolt. 😂
It was 40 C yesterday i think even ice cubes would have melted in a few moments, i prefer cool days.
6 more sleeps our side and my moms birthday on 22. So 2 celebrations.
Hugs Ames
A picture of my cast.
@Avaray Aww that means you have been good but the splint thing looks like it will not give you much movement, you only have to wait until the end of January then it will be fixed (mostly). Your cast reminds me of a weird mediaeval device used to protect the arm in combat by talking the hits, kind of like an act as a shield, it never worked against the long sword. Any who, let me sign it on the white part not sure I can sign the cream parts. At least you can take it off for a little bit each day but I am timing you Mrs Grumpy. I have not seen or read Harry Potter either! It is currently -1 here so a bit cooler than 40 degrees, so you come visit although we are leaving today. I will leave chocolate just in case you decide to visit. Happy Birthday Avarays mommy and Happy Christmas oldie Avaray if I do not get what I wanted finished. *hugs*
@Avaray NO more sleeps until Christmas, it is 5am'ish here waiting for the oldies to get their bottoms out of bed or me be jumping on them (at 9am). I take my blanket and other things when I see S. my therapist but I did mean the granddad, he makes for a lovely pillow and cuddleir. So taking things with you to see your psychologists (spelling argh) is normal It is bad you cannot take off your splint but keep going being very good (it will add to next years naughty or nice list points), you need to fixing even if it is frustrating, still in the event of a monkey attack you can use it and it will not hurt you. Also bedtime lady!!!!!!!!!!! So stubborn!! Thank you for my chocolate.
@AmalieAnne
Only half an hour left until 9... Hopr those oldies have got their bums out of bed by now... 😂
Have a love Christmas my dear Ames
@Avaray *huggles* I hope your cast has remained on your body or you will be in trouble oldie. Happy New Year
@AmalieAnne
Hey cheeky chop xx ... All I'm going to say is..... I've been half good 😏😁
Happy new year Ames 💕
@Avaray OK I am not threatening you silly but you could have made your hand not get better. Even though it was ok I still think half an hour on the naughty step with no phone is acceptable. *Naughty Avaray* I am very happy that your hand is ok, do you have something like bio-oil? When I had the tummy tube thing removed for the last time, that helped reduce the scar even though my belly button still freaks me out more to be honest. It is good you can remove it for the massage and cleaning, now you will not be running after monkeys shouting bad language because you are too grumpy.
I am feeling better, silly ears. Mama wrapped me up and tries to carry me around even though I am too big now. I am really tempted lick your ear but then you might get the ear infection and then you would go back to being very grumpy. Can I pick a Nordic fairy tale please? I have to read them yet - https://fairytalez.com/region/nordic/ - Christmas is weird time lots of people I do not know visiting. Anywho it is 4am so bedtime, Spanish people are weird I know Even though it is actually quite cold here, not Canada cold. Ni ni
@Avaray I am sure that would sort out a grumpy queen and there are tricks to get me to sleep but I cannot tell you, strictly secret of course. It is sad, however, that you did not get to spend more time with your grandparents they tend to be special people. Although you must have some English genes, the melting point of an English person is 28 degrees so I might have to throw you into the sea at times to stop you from melting. Hopefully it has cooled down a bit though. I have to wait until August before everyone in my family comes together though but I am looking forward to it. On Friday evening we go back to Canada and I checked it is -7 at the moment. So I might freeze a little arghhhhh.. I hope your troops answer ‘Yes Drill Sergeant, you have to keep them inline so they are reminded you are the boss *hugs*
@Avaray
I can send you some of the cold but that does mean you have to accept some bears as well. All we need is a very big and powerful fan… any ideas? Until then you can sleep in the freezer, just make sure you wear a hat and gloves in case your ears and fingers do not fall off. They are kind of important. Not many days before you can have a free hand, although it sounds like you are doing OK with one hand. In case you decide to become a pirate at least you have had some practice. Grahhhh.. naughtiness on the high seas. You get to wear a cool hat as well It is ok to cry just not in front of the other pirates but that is an extreme situation. Normally it is ok.
Mommy helps people get their doctorates in just psychology I think now, she does other things but mostly that. She does a bit of undergraduate in psychology and anthropology lecture things as well. I think that is why I like history so much. So, this afternoon when we go pick her up, I have to growl like a doggy so they leave my mommy alone. Normally it works and they go away because they think I might bite. I do not bite though but it helps they think I might. Any who, have a nice weekend and you can sleep until 7am and then one of your helpers will jump on your bed. It is kind of our job
@Avaray
I think you said your splint thing comes off on Friday or next Friday, well that is what I wrote down. So, you do not have to be a pirate for now, although you have to get the other hand fixed so *fingers crossed* you are well behaved for when that happens. Eish the Avaray needs a fixing. If you have been naughty then the splint stays on! As for what I want to grow up to be, I think me but bigger. I am not ready to leave mommy at all for some years but I would like to study at University College Dublin. Not sure what as yet but who knows. I never want to be defined as one thing, to me something I love doing is better than being defined as a profession or something like that. I would like to maybe work with disabled children or speech therapy just because I think I understand the frustration. I have a lot of time to think and maybe it will find me
It is collective job to annoy the oldies, jumping and whatnots. We have to keep you in line or you will get into all sort of troubles. As for mommy she promised that she would not know what I am thinking before I have thought it. She mostly keeps to that but sometimes she does it, sometimes it helps to be honest if I do not want to say something. I think you are right though that is just a mommy thing not a psychologist thing. I have organised a freezer for you but you have to work in an ice cream factory. I hope that is ok? I agree on your behalf and no you are not allowed to eat it. It is -4 and snowing here so you are more than welcome to come stay here for a while. If you eat/drink a slush puppy here you would freeze to death. As for the bears do not really come into the city, sometimes they do but then you there are people that come get them and put them back into the mountains. Just note that the time is -7 hours GMT so you will always be ahead. As in your bedtime is before mine Now bed oldie lady, I do not need your even more grumpy!
@Avaray
I am very a morning person, having my sleeps later on. You are allowed to stay in bed until 8am at the weekends but not one minute more lazy daisy. As for the ice cream factory I am really sorry but they do not make chocolate, all the other flavours but not chocolate. Not sure why, kind of weird if you ask me but who am I to argue with my imagination. At least you might have an earlier bed time if you are nice and cool. This morning when I woke up it was -17 degrees but it has warmed up a bit now. I have lots of warm clothes to keep me warm or I wait until the car is warm and then run to it. Hopefully the rain has come because it brings carbon down with it making it cooler. If not then you need to do your fancy pants rain dance.Monday is the big day; will we have a grumpy Avaray or a non-grumpy version. I hope the accidental knocking it did not last that long. I am feeling confident that you have been well behaved enough for it to be better so you just need to do some exercises to teach your hand what to do. Just be good over the weekend, remember I have spies. Also, well done on saving the pigeon and if you can put some water out in case they need a drink in the hot weather. In any case outside you need to do your fancy pants rain dance every evening, it is proven to work when it is about to rain! Now I am just going to see Zebras as wearing pyjamas, naughty you. Where you live sounds almost as dangerous as Australia where over 1 million people die a day from snakes, sharks and other weird creatures.
