Smile Class Of June :)

Hello everyone,

As of tomorrow, it will officially be Day 1 for me.
I drank yesterday and well into the night, I didn't quit until after midnight.
I hope I'm not upsetting anyone by starting this thread and it's not even June yet...in my timezone, I have about 2 and a half hours to go...LOL!

I'm here looking for support, I really need it and hope I can offer support as well.
Thank you for being here with me...I look forward to hearing from you.
Lot's of Hugs,

XOXO

Can I join the class of June even though I guess I should be in May? I'm feeling a little alienated and would love the chance to get to know people better. I have 8 days right now, almost 9

Thanks Chamabama,
For me, I'm feeling a little tired today...it might be the weather. The sky is very dark and cloudy, it looks like it's going to start raining any moment here.
Other than that, How are you feeling?
Happy day 9 to you!
Hugs,
XOXO

Welcome Lily! How are you feeling?

Hi Aday! Weather here is dark and gloomy too. I'm on the West Coast. June gloom we call it. Should burn off this afternoon hopefully. Still, I'm feeling pretty good and energetic this morning. I'm finally getting some good sleep the past 2 days so that has helped a lot!

I'm trying to do something nice for myself everyday. Haven't figured out what that will be today. Yesterday I washed all the bedding on my bed (including comforter and matress cover, etc.) and sprayed it with yummy linen spray. It was nice to slide into that heavenly fluffy bed last night. Especially after the stinky sweat of the week before...

Hi and thanks!
I'm feeling pretty good today, Chamabama.
We got a huuuge storm that rolled through around 4am which was just awesome with all of the thunder and lightening. Now it's just kinda soggy. Bleh.
Glad you're getting some good sleep (isn't it great to just get some REAL sleep?!)
That's a good idea - doing something nice for yourself every day. I really like the fresh bedding/linen spray thing.

Welcome Spen! How's the weather in the UK?
Sorry you're feeling rough!

Lily - I miss the thunderstorms, they're really quite cool! We don't have them very often over here, but I went to a University about 4-5 hours away from Chicago. That was some eye opening weather for me!

Now don't laugh at me...I don't mind rain, but I'm scared of lightening...LOL!
Ok, I laughed for you
Here I am a 40 year old woman and I'm scared of lightening...ecspecially when the claps of thunder get closer and closer. Then I go around and unplug some of the electronics...my mom had a TV explode from a thunder storm.
XOXO

Tooo funny ADAT, I am scared of lightning also!! I won't shower until it passes, hate to drive if it's out there and I too unplug appliances!!! LOL

Spen71, hope you start to feel better soon...I am thinking of you! =)

The thunderstorms didn't scare me, it was the tornados. The constant "watches" and "warnings"... I'm glad to be back in earthquake country. You can't really worry about it because there is no warning. It happens or it doesn't. I'll be happy if I never have to see another basement again. Basements in and of themselves are creepy to me!

Your right, this month is going to be a great one...I just have that feeling, let's stick together and make this work.

The more I talk with you, the more I realize how much we have in common...lol. I won't get in the shower during the storm either, I'm afraid I will get zapped. Then if I die in the shower I don't want to be discovered all naked...how embarrassing would that be? Just Kidding.

XOXO

Lol of course it is centigrade. Would be cold if it was farenheit. Yes it is my first meeting tomorrow. Need to force myself through the door, feeling very shy about it.

Ok, Ok, I'm scared of Tornado's too
When there is a funnel heading our way....you see me scurrying to the basement. Then I'm yelling up the steps and pleading with my Hubby to join me downstairs. He's not scared of storms like I am...so he just laughs at me, he's such a brat, but I love him to pieces.
XOXO
