Hey, everyone! I'm just a little late...or really late....or extremely late. But anyway, I found skeleton Diggy, and I'm glad I found him before his bones turned to dust. Hi, Diggy!

Hi,
I am Katarany and I live in the South Eastern corner of Queensland Australia. I have been very sick for the last couple of weeks but I think I am getting better now (or maybe its just the drugs they are pumping into me) so I have been catching up with whats been happening here while I have been away. I have really enjoyed reading all of your stories. It's nice to discover that there are others here (@chickenslayer @Elsa) who are like me and have grandchildren. (We have 6). I liked how @Nat09 has been 28 for 15 years. I am a little bit older I think because I have been 33 for 28 years. I work from home as a full time personal carer for my elderly mum (Ozzie spelling here) who lives in a granny flat that is attached to our modest 3 bedroom (and only 1 bathroom - imagine that!) home. I am very lucky to live in Australia where carers like me are paid a small pension by our government to make it a bit financially easier to stay at home and care for our loved one.

I love to learn new things and have been studying on-line for nearly 7 years working towards earning my degree in philosophy. I am nearly finished now and only have one course left to do (which I will complete in February next year) before I can graduate with my degree. I will travel to Macquarie University in Sydney (over 1000km from where I live) in September 2020 to attend my graduation ceremony and receive my degree in person. I dropped out of high school so doing my degree and getting to wear the mortarboard and gown has been a lifelong dream of mine. Since I love to learn new things I did google Arnold Chiari @Nat09 and I am very sorry to hear of your health issues, but both you and @Elsa seem to be very positive people who are coping well with your health challenges.

I only play Bubble Witch 3 on my desktop pc. I don't even own a mobile phone (I think they used to be called cellphones in the US and maybe Canada?) I have tried Candy Crush but I just don't enjoy it as much. And I found Spooky Diggy dog too but I thought we were supposed to mention that on the other thread about the spooky friends or whatever they are called. Bubble Witch 3 has been my lifesaver over the last couple of weeks. Playing it has helped to distract me from the pain when I am awake in the middle of the night and feeling sore and lonely. Thanks for reading.
