Hello Kitten

[Sportsdude]

lol i wish.
more like its depressing.
 

[Gopher]

Wherefore art thou, Kitten?

[kitten]

I was on an act of mercy taking my friend to the grocery.  It didn't look as though anyone was coming here today.  Sorry I missed lunch with you all.    

[Sportsdude]

no prob, gophie was drinking champagne and I was talking about flooding. lol    

[Gopher]

True. And then I had a couple of glasses of red wine.

[kitten]

So how is your head feeling today?

[Gopher]

Not bad at all. Surpprisingly I didn't have any ill-effects at all. I must say I enjoyed mnyself and was, for a change, unusually talkative if not garrulous.   Having my pension coming in  (whilst carrying on working for a few  more weeks) has had a wonderful effect on  my spirits - I feel as though I've received my long-awaited reward for survival.

[kitten]

It does help, doesn't it!  Compensation for managing to live long enough.  What a thought!

[Gopher]

Not least the thought that I'll never again have to kowtow to an employer's unreasonable  whims.

[kitten]

That is wonderful.  I found that not having to wipe up "surprises" or pull bodies around was so liberating.

[Gopher]

I feel as though I have been reborn!

[kitten]

You have your life to start fresh now without the restriction of working for someone else.  It IS nice!

[Gopher]

And even although you won't be getting millions, you have the assurance that come what may you'll always get a pittance.

[kitten]

Pittance is the word for it, alright!  Meagre is a good adjective to accompany it.

[Gopher]

May be my pittance is half a crumb more than yours!
