Snappy Snappy

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

I have nothing much for you today. I had loads of meetings and both Shenée and Caro were a little bit irritable.

Shenée apologised. I knew she wasn't crabby with me, just the world in general. But I appreciated that she made that clear.

"I can get a little SNAPPY-SNAPPY," she said. This is one of her phrases. It is always accompanied by a mime of a crocodile snapping his teeth.

It's hard to be cross with a crocodile mime.

Caro was in a lot of pain with her left hand today. And that was the cause of her shortness. She even had to go to bed early with paracetamol.

We still don't know what the cause is. But she FINALLY spoke to my osteopath on the phone yesterday. What he told her made a lot of sense, and he allayed some of her fears.

He also told her to REST it. "When you're about to do something, do HALF," he suggested. "Make your partner do the rest."

She liked that advice.

So I just did my best to take care of her. She's had good periods with her hand before, and so I hope this is just another transitory episode.

And I am hopeful that the osteo can work his magic on her and that she will listen to his advice.

But today's snappiness is okay. It's good to get it out of your system. Especially through the medium of mime.
