@bluejay Oh, I’m so glad. Last night, I fell asleep before I could get on KP, so if you had been able to write, I would have missed you. 🙂
Sorry @sarah-h I won’t be here tonight either. My brother is borrowing my laptop so I’ll have to wait. 😉
@bluejay Don’t be sorry! I was volunteering for the Saturday night thing at church tonight, and I’m too worn out to write. 🙂
P.S. You changed your profile picture! I like it.
@bluejay How ’bout tonight? I’m kinda tired, so I won’t write unless you’re up for it. 🙂
Never mind. I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. 🙂 Good night!
Thank you. I’m glad you like it. (So do I)
And I’m sorry I missed you, but I couldn’t write either, so it turned out alright. We had visitor over for tea.
@sarah-h
@sarah-h *may your notifications work* Are you writing tonight??? I am. 🙂
@bluejay Yay! We did it! 🙂 Sure, I can write tonight. I’m going to try to finish the, ummm, thingwe’reworkingon, and I’m almost finished, so I might not be on very long.
@sarah-h YES! Contact. We can move into the Writers’ Corner #3 to post word scores when we’re done.
Oh good. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve come up with. 🙂
@bluejay Should I paste it into the email, or send it as an attachment?
Either one will work for me. You choose @sarah-h
@bluejay It’s off! 🙂
Got it @sarah-h I’ll have a look at it tomorrow as I have to go to bed now. Good night.
@bluejay Me too. Good night! 🙂
@sarah-h I’m writing. Are you around to join me??? 🙂
@bluejay I’m sorry I missed you! We stayed up watching the election, and now it’s time for me to go to bed. Good night! 🙂
@sarah-h Who won? You might not get this till tomorrow, but that won’t matter.
Oh, I read the outline that you did, and at the moment I have no questions. I think it is very good and I’m going to have lots of fun writing it. 🙂
@bluejay That’s the question every American is asking right now. They’re having trouble counting the votes- it looks like it will be pretty close either way. I personally think Trump won, but we won’t know until the morning.
Oh, I’m so glad you like it! I can’t wait to see the end result. 🙂
@sarah-h According to Mum, Trump is in. Hillary had conceded and packed up. Why we know before America I have no idea? Apparently Trump made it in easily so I have no idea what is going on. I guess we’ll just have to wait till tomorrow to know for definite.
@bluejay Trump won. I think our media is biased. It’s so funny that you know who our president is before we do.
