Geez, I did it again!!! It is actually tomorrow. So sorry you all! I guess I'm a little anxious for two years. Kind of embarrassing.
Grateful for my loyal, wonderful friends here, Daisy, you and your son are in my prayers. Lots of prayers coming your way. I hope he can come out of his coma today. What a wonderful mother you are.♥♥♥
All my love to the Grat Packers! I'd never be sober without you. You've gratefully shown me another way to live and now I have very few cravings anymore. So very grateful to be sober and grateful for all of you so very much.♥♥♥
Bear with me while I'm trying to get off Gabapentin. It helps my pain, but it's making me really crazy in my head, kind of paranoid, taking offence to almost everything, just horrible side effects. I'm having withdrawals getting off of it and I'd like to pound the doctor who put me on this dose. I am acting kind of weird, it's not the real me. I just hope to God they can give me something else that helps and I keep all my beautiful SR friends. I really don't want to offend anyone, unless they offend me. See that's where my head is now and I'm rarely like that. So if I offend anyone please know it's the Gabapentin and not the real me and I'm trying really hard to get off of it and praying there is another drug my doctor can give me to help the back pain. So much fun I'm not having lately. I'm so sorry I got on this medicine and I am so sorry if I've offended anyone, God willing.
I love you all.

Missed checking in this morning - computer needs replacing & is temperamental.
I only have a minute, and will read more thoroughly tomorrow.
Rose - Cutting down on personal shopping? Oh, my dear - not recommended.
Fearless - I enjoyed reading your reflections as you run. I have many of those same thoughts. (Usually at 3am.)
Daisy - Such an awful time for you - my prayers continue - sending love.
I didn't realize you had an aunt who lived in N.C. I've been to Charlotte, which isn't far from Waxhaw.
RZ - Grateful that the beat goes on.
Numb - Great news that kitty is stable - bless his heart.
Aly - 2 yrs. - we're so proud of you!
I read some of the side effects of that medication - what you're describing isn't uncommon. Hoping you'll be given something better for you soon.
Grateful it's not as cold today.
Grateful I was able to type this without computer exploding.

Thank you, Hevyn. I have to look at the side effects again, although I have most of them, so I likely know them!
Thank you for your kindness and your support through the years and through this. You are so awesome in so many ways and beautiful inside and out.♥♥♥
I have to work on my trust issues, esp when I think it out and I really hope, by now I know who I can trust. I have to work on feeling that. A topic for my psychiatrist next time.
We had the neighbors from Hell move in next door and with this gabapentin, I'm in no mood for it. My mom has to practically drag me in the house to not go out and tell them off, they are so bad the guy next door threatened to kill one of the neighbor hood cats and I heard him. Things did not go well from there and that's just a small episode of the things they do. They are truly ghastly.
Good luck with your computer. So aggravating. I hope it stops exploding without it costing a fortune to get it fixed. I'm not a very good typer on my phone either. I don't realize how much I use my computer unless it's broken! So sorry, Hev.
I love you!

Aly, Congratulations on 2 years love. ❤️ xx
Grateful Daisy’s son is getting the best care from our NHS. Sending love and hugs. Daisy, you and your family are all in my prayers and thoughts.
Grateful Aly didn’t go to see her nasty neighbour from hell. I pray Karma will play it’s part. (And voice record on your phone any conversations you may have or hear with him....just in case)
Grateful for all of you and our shared sobriety.
Grateful for thecwuiet of the morning...inside...while the storm rages outside.

Aly, I’m really sorry about the Gabapentin. It must feel so scary to not feel like yourself. Sending lots of love your way. I think today is officially two years. Is that right? CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Canadian Koala and Mags, those are some impressive graphics!
Grateful to come here and feel a little better. My cat is not doing well after all. His bladder issue was on the path to resolution but for reasons neither the treating doctor, the critical care specialist, nor the other docs at the practice can understand, his kidneys started failing though they seemed fine on admission. I’ve spent a lot of the last twelve hours worrying if I did something wrong, how I’m going to talk to the kids about it assuming things don’t miraculously resolve (and even just to get him through the next few days the doc said would be several thousand dollars....I don’t know if it’s a racket or the truth...but I feel like I’ve failed somehow).
Grateful my parents will still be here if we have to put our sweet cat to sleep. I don’t know what we are going to do. That’s my son’s cat and wakes him up every single morning by making biscuits on him. I am sorry. Not doing a great job on my grats today.
Grateful my sister did some redecorating in our living room and it looks fancy now!
Grateful my husband and brother in law managed to finish the marathon though it was not a good race for either.
Grateful the vet clinic didn’t call in the middle of the night to say things had gotten drastically worse.
Grateful for the soft patter of a little rain.
Grateful today is a day “off”.
Grateful to be able to come here.

Aly - Congratulations again - and sending much love to you.
Numblady - Sharing your sadness over kitty - prayers going up.
Grateful for sunshine.
Grateful for no 3am wakeups.
Grateful it's not a typical Monday from back in the old days.
Grateful to have paid off some credit cards - now to chop them up or I'd surely use them again.
Grateful for the promise of spring.
Love going out to all of you today.

Thank you so very, very much. I am so touched and grateful so many of you thought of me today. (Not like I didn't talk about it enough! Lol) All my love to all of you and grateful for each and every one of you. All these kind and wonderful messages to me has me a little emotional. 
Grateful to all of you for remembering my day, it's been a long time coming.
NL, prayers for your kitty. So worrying. I hope it turns out well.
Daisy, prayers to you and your son. I so hope that he is doing better. I suppose he is so vulnerable right now. He is so lucky you are his mother.♥♥♥

Aly - enormous congratulations!! An event to mark indeed. So I'd like some of that cake that Mags posted please (followed by a slice of the one CK posted).
Only just in from a long day but obviously had to make a quick toast to this lovely anniversary. I'll post properly tomorrow and in the meantime, on this very cold day, I'm so grateful to be back here in warmth and comfort with a cup of tea which I'm raising to you now, Aly!
Daisy - I really hope your son continues to respond positively to the treatment and is out of the danger zone soon. You're in my thoughts.

Awww, Mags, you are so kind. You are always the first post I read in the morning and I love it.
I know those cakes you and CK posted. They are beautiful! I don't know how you all do such awesome graphics! I for sure have a sweet tooth now!♥
Thank you so much for your friendship and even though you have asthma, you share a love of animals from your pics and posts.
I toast my diet coke back to you!
All my love to a very, very kind and good friend of mine! ♥♥♥

Congrats Aly on 2 years!
Daisy, thinking of you and your son.
Grateful for a lovely long weekend in LA. Deserto sure does love those seaside critters! Grateful to have seen some dolphins. Henry couldn't come but the seals sunning themselves on a rock sure reminded me of him.
Grateful to be home.

Grateful Daisy’s son is on the mend. I’m positive everyone’s prayers helped.
Aly I’m pleased you liked CK’s and my cakes. I learnt that on SR, the cakes are fat free so tuck in without any fear of calorie counting. x
Numblady, thinking of you and your cat, love xx
Grateful I’m sober
Grateful for some time home alone... Mr. Mags is going fishing today
Grateful for all the Grat Pack
Grateful for automatic washing machines
