Happy birthday

luxshine! Also, a very happy belated birthday to

solariana. I hope you both had/are having fantastic days. Much love for you both ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

My big announcement today is I can twitch a spot under my bottom lip,.we're talking millimetres here, but man, I'm taking it. And for my next trick I'll be attempting a twitch of a nostril, not yet though, there needs to be a big build up to these things.

Also, mam was off getting tests for suspected throat cancer today, but it seems all is well.

James went to see the doc today and is running a little bit of a temperature so needs to chill and rest up, but otherwise is fine.

So, yeah. I'm taking today as a plus.

ETA: Our grocery order was just delivered and somehow I managed to double up on the potatoes. I guess we'll be eating jacket potatoes for a while.

Woot! You work those twitches, baby! ;)

I'm working them hard!

Woot! Good news. Fingers crossed for James and your mam.

p.s. I'm looking at the sign-ups for MtYG and something is missing. I can't figure out what it might be. Hmm...

I think I sensed the same missing thing...

Thank you!

Oh man, I know. I really don't know if I'm joining this year. I was invited to join a bandom exchange a while back and haven't written a word of popslsh for a year now. So, differing here.

hail to the twitch! \o/ Good job, sweetie *smootches*

Hee. Thank you!

*blows you a kiss*

*snatches it*

Voluntary twitching, you rock!!

That sounds hopeful about your mam. *keeps fingers crossed*

Yes, lots of rest for James and no running around! *tries to look stern*

Or you could make potato soup. My basic potato soup recipe is very simple: Peel and cube the potatoes and boil them in vegetable or chicken stock until they're soft. Add milk (or cream) and a finely sliced leek and simmer until the leek is soft. Season with dried basil to taste. For variety you can add bacon or sausages.

The twitch is so small but such a big deal :D

It does sound hopeful, which is such a relief, and James has had to rest today. Simply because first my dad turned up and then the FiL. It's been a busy afternoon.

Oh, that's a good recipe and I have everything needed for it. I'm going to give it a try otherwise I know I'll end up with bags full of bad potatoes.

Thank you!

I love that recipe because it's so adaptable and you don't have to use strict measures but can keep to the proportions that you like.

Twitching ftw!!!

I'm glad your mom is okay! Hopefully James will rest up as ordered and kick the bit of fever too.

*hugs*

I'm very proud of my twitch :D

I wish he would rest up. Though he's had no choice today as both our dad's turned up one after another. We've been hosting all afternoon.

A twitch is a good thing! Glad that James is doing okay.

It is.

Thank you!

Hey! That's good news! You only have to master nostril twitching now and then you can replace Kristen Stewart in Twillight *g*

Ahahahaha. What a thing to strive for!

I'm glad that there's even a tiny bit of improvement! *hugs*

It was a very joyful thing :D

Seems you all getting healthier. So great. :D

Yep! I'm getting there :)

:D Twitching is good! *cheerleads!*

Potato soup
Mashed potatoes
Potato bread (yum, no, really)
Potato pancakes/latke (ditto)
Hash browns
Potato salad
Scalloped potatoes, mmmmmm...

All yum! If a bit more labor-intensive than jacket potatoes.

Twitching is very good!

Turlough left me a recipe for potato soup and I may give that a try, because 4 bags of potatoes will spoil before we can eat them.

I'm glad you put the yum after the potato bread. I've never heard of it before.

GO you! Twitching is good- it's a start.

And I'm glad James is good, if a little sickly.

My twitch is awesome. I think it may have gained another millimetre this morning. Not that I'm keeping a close watch or anything....

Hurray for twitchiness! And who ever thought twitching could case such joy *lol* Or, wait a sec *thinks about Frank playing his guitar on stage* nevermind ;-P

Hee. Yes! Frank is a perfect example of joyful twitching!

Whoo! Go Terri!! :applauds: Fabulous show.

Now, where's the merch booth?

The merch booth is to the left. There you'll find a fabulous selection of wonky-faced smile t-shirts ready for purchase :D

You should totally sell ~~pins~~ badges that say: Mom was right. How do you think my face got like this!? and Wonky-faced smiles. They're the new black.

Oh man. My wonky-faced smile is huge just now!

I'm glad to hear that a) movement is returning, and b) it looks like things with your mother will be all right.

They're both awesome things.

*grins at you*

Yay for the twitching!

Twitches are awesome!

PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good sign :D.

It is \o/

Yay for movement! That sounds very positive. And thank goodness it wasn't throat cancer! Hope James can rest and recover some more also.

I was very happy with that movement, tiny as it is.

Thank you :D

Hey: big, small, you take whatever buildup you need. I'm still standing behind the "regained movement in the first two weeks is an excellent sign for greater recovery" line!

Go you!

And potatoes are delicious, and there's all kinds of things you can do with them. Jacket potatoes are awesome, but there's a zillion other ways, too! *g*

Your support is much appreciated!

Yeah, I need to mix up the potato use for sure *g*

So glad you're getting a bit of muscle control back! I hope you continue to recover speedily. :)

It's a relief. I just wish it would go faster because I'm impatient!
