weekend thread jan 3rd 4th & 5th of 2014 come help ourselves get through Hey y'all , It is the weekend again , they seem to be quite regular at the moment . So it's friday morning in the UK work to get through and then freedom … freedom is what you make of it , like so much in life. This weekend i need a thorough battery re-charge . If the weather has a break i'm going to try and go for a walk somewhere green , although it looks like a lot of rain and wind is blowing in … I see that the eastern USA has lots of snow and has been declared an emergency in some places . So come huddle round SR , bask in the warm radiance of so many people trying to do the right thing for themselves and their lives . When we were babies learning how to walk we slipped fell took a tumble but we got up and tried again , we didn't beat ourselves up or say it's impossible . Eyes to the prize , lets do this , Bestwishes, m |
It's Friday afternoon here in sunny Sydney, Australia. Checking in for a sober weekend! |
Thursday evening here in the states. It's been tough today because I've been holed up all day stuck in the snow and I can only read so many books and watch so many movies. Sigh...I'm not drinking though so for that, it's been a decent day. |
Inca I have never seen snow! I live in an almost tropical climate. We do have snow fields and skiing and get great snow for a short time every year, but I've never been. Being snowed in sounds quite exotic for me, but not for you I can imagine :-) |
It's summer in Australia isn't it? I'm soooo jealous. I'm such a warm weather junkie which works out for me 3 months of the year lol. On the bright side, snow is cool for snow angels and skiing. |
Hey weekenders... Hey M... Blizzard warning for my area and we are getting 14 inches. That's over three feet of snow and a ice storm this winter alone! It's fluffy and light but about -10 below zero so very very cold. I hope all the homeless got to shelter for this storm. It's brutal. I will be working from home as a well as my whole team so it will be a normal workday just in my fuzzy slippers and with a cup of tea and two cats. Watching the wind blow the drifting snow out the back door. And a huge sense of gratefulness in my heart. I can tell you for sure that this type of storm calls my av up and asks for a direct line. I would have always gone to the bar and once I made it there camped out all day playing pool and music with the other drunks and homeless seeking refuge. I used to spend 10-12 hours there on a day like today. Not an incling in the world right now. I have so many things I want to do today... In between work... Wink wink... Have a good day and weekend folks! Stay sober. It's possible... It your choice each day and if needed each moment to not drink. Ken |
I stand corrected ... The news just reported that with the wind chill it's between 25 and 30 below zero. They said that it's warmer in Antarctica than on Maine today. |
Good Morning Y'all! I'm not far enough south to miss all of this weather fun in the USA, but it's not snowing yet. Raining and windy,but the temperature is still a few degrees above freezing. Supposed to get colder later, but after the rain has stopped. Nevertheless, my work is on a 2-hour delay. :) Mr. AV is acting up lately. Glad to have another weekend thread to latch onto. Let's do this! |
Warm and sunny here, I sure would like to have one actual winter day, though. Sign me up for a sober weekend! |
Hey non! YES you can! |
I'm in! Welcome to all newcomers and a big, fat hiya to all old-timers, thread regulars, lurkers and in-betweeners like me! Come on in, the water in here is lovely and warm, unlike outside! Stay safe and warm (well, as warm as possible!!) wherever you are xx |
I'm in too :) Might be grumpy though as trying to lose 14lbs and am starving grrrrrrrrr lol |
Hey sky! I need to lose 20 lbs. can't get to the gym today but will try to get some exercise in at home. It's not easy to lose for me. |
Gym? Stop swearing ;) Xx |
I'm in as usual... Little down but going to rally! Happy sober weekend all! |
I have to lose sooooo much weight it's unfunny. Yeah, I can't see myself as a regular gym attendee just yet but I'm going to start walking for 25 minutes at least three times a week as apparently this will also help my depression. :) |
I'm in! Really looking forward to a great sober weekend. |
Louise - that's what I do - power walk. Also, I don't eat anything with more than 4% fat in it (and grill everything) - the weight soon comes off ;) Xx |
Great tips Skye. Thanks! xx |
Hi Mecanix my sober Pommie friend and all weekenders! How many weekends can we have in a week? * ring ring * It would be very gloating if I talked about the current Ashes series wouldn't it Mecanix? :) So I won't talk about it -- but I'm looking forward to watching the cricket, swimming, baking, reading, cycling and vegging out. If this is your first sober weekend count yourself lucky, sober hangover-free mornings are awesome. |
