Glad you're back, Manz....don't let it happen again :)

What a fabulous Mother's Day I had! Hope the same for you all.

See you tomorrow!

I am grateful for my mom, and for my daughter's mom, too. What's better than a good mom?

I am also grateful that I suggesting bringing the kiddo to her mom's last night, instead of the usual Sunday morning... because it allowed me to sleep in until 9 for the first time in ages! :)

Oh I love the sleep in!!!!

Bit nervous tonight folks........... have a biopsy first thing tomorrow, and then an agonising 2 week wait for results. Yuck!!

Rock on Overs....just because you can. :-)

best wishes Manz - really hoping all will be well :)

D

Hoping for the besr, Manz.

Happy Monday! Have a great week everybody.

Hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's day. :)

I am home sick today from work. My mind has been racing the past couple of days and I only slept about an hour last night. I had some stomach problems that made it even harder to sleep. Nevertheless, I have an urge to go see a matinee today. I might take a nap and go see the Hunger Games this afternoon if I'm feeling any better.

Still no luck on the internet dating thing. I think my subscription runs around the 20th and I'll probably just cancel and try to meet someone in real life. I think I might have better luck with that anyways.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Sorry guys, just one more online dating faux-pas:

Listing "social networking" as one of your passions.


Then again, here I am on SR every day, so.... :C023:

But...but...doesn't social networking count?

If not....

Well there goes my entire life.

Hmph.

I hope everyone had a good mother's day. Celebrating mine with my mom today. I hope she behaves :). Though...somehow through the grace of....my recovery and acceptance? our relationship has seemed less strained lately. I have slowly been dreading our time together less and less.

Small miracles every day.

I hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day!

R&A....sleep is a wonderful thing!
Friday night: went to bed at 10:30pm....woke up at 10:30am. Saturday went to sleep at midnight...woke up at 11:00am.

I'm still tired today. Wish I could figure out the source of my extreme fatigue. Ah well.
BTW, lost another pound the past week! I am now the skinniest I've been since 2006!
And yes, R&A, I am eating.

Manz, huge hugs and I hope everything goes smoothly with the biopsy. ♥

Hope everyone else is well.

Morning Overs,

(((MANZ))):ghug3

Hope everyone has a swell day.

OUCH!

Things did not go quite as the specialist was expecting... upshot meant I had a couple of extra painful jabs, including an andrenaline shot which made me feel like I had just had the biggest shock of my life and sent me all wobbly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also meant I could not go back to work today so here I sit filling in time feeling like poop.

Thanks for all your good wishes........ roll on 2 weeks and the letter from the specialist with results. dont ya think a phone call would be better. :lmao

Hope everyone is having a lovely day. :)

with NZPost make it 3 weeks Manz :D lol

D

What, the mail runs slow in NZ? Our postal service, founded by Ben Franklin and once a model for nations around the world, is apparently flat broke. Saturday mail delivery will soon be a thing of the past. But I still think it's amazing that for a little spare change, someone is willing to carry a letter 3,000 miles for me. It's the best deal I've ever seen. No wonder they're not making any money... Anyway, I hope when the news comes, it's all good. You've been waiting a long time for this; hope these next few days go quickly, Manz.

LB, hope you get answers soon too. Sounds like a good day with your mom. Glad to see the fatigue isn't diminishing your spirit. :)

You mean that's not on your dating profile, lol? If you're going to bail Josh, why not post a fake profile, and go out with a bang? You could start with something like, "Now that the conviction has been overturned, I thought I'd have another go at this online dating thing... "

R&A that sounds like what I did to someone last night. I handed over the free ticket passes for the Fathom event last night for the "opera". The woman goes "this is the fourth time I've seen these tonight. Where did you get them?" Me: "The homeless guy outside. He only wanted an 8-ball and a 40 for em. Pretty good deal when you compare them to movie ticket prices these days." Her mouth hit the ticket counter. I then told her I was just joking, I got them from WGUC (which I explained was the classical radio station and she says "Oh I didn't know we had one of those" .......... REALLY?!).

Anyways - it was awesome!!! If you like opera at all and you have one of these events near you (a fathom event is what you're looking for) go!! I have a massive headache from it today like I *always* do after going to a movie theatre because it's just too loud (god that makes me feel like I'm 70) but it was a very neat experience and is definitely something I can waste money on in the future. Didn't get home until nearly 11:30pm though...so...I am an exhausted girl today!!! Throw in the headache...and I am unusually quiet at work with no music. I think some gregorian chant may be in order today.

Und "Die Walkure" (es tut mir leid, Ich habe keine Umlaudes), war wunderbar! (And "The Valkyrie" was (I'm sorry, I have no umlaudes) was wonderful!)
(Ich hatten...drei Jahre der deutschen in der Schule)

:p

Anyways...you said something about always interesting, itchy? hehe.

Dee, I thought Kangaroos delivered their mail! OH crap...wrong island...*hides*

:D ♥

Manz, I'm sorry it hurt so much!!!! Glad you had the day off, but for the wrong reasons. :(

So....we have a convict...where else can we go with this? Let out of jail because the policeman who arrested you was arrested/convicted of something else and now his character was in question therefore letting you out? :D

/rampant imagination.

Maybe I saw that on TV somewhere. Maybe I heard that from my step dad. Heck if I know at this point. It's in my brain though, now.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Just checking in. I'm car-less this week so bro is coming to take me to the store.:) I'm out of cat food so have to go get some.:)

Coming up on two and a half years next month and really tickled about it.:) Two and a half years ago I didn't know if I could do it... but I knew I had to do it.

Thanks SR for all the help along the way. :grouphug:

wassat? lol

D

:wild
I just did a long catch up post and my tablet decided to close the browser on its own and lost the whole thing!
So,
R&A, Newby, Manz, LB, Dee, LB, Josh, and Least, maybe tomorrow.

Hey all --

I'm having a really tough couple of days. My mood today started to go downhill fast. I'm just really feeling sorry for myself. I'm going to be 27 later this month, living with my parents, working a meaningless job and I haven't had a date in 3 years. My last good single friend is getting married next month which will make me the only single guy in my circle of close friends. I'm feeling so terribly lonely. So here I am: 27, alone, living with my parents, working a job I hate. I don't feel like I want to drink. I just don't feel like anything is going my way right now. :( Maybe need to go get my meds adjusted or something, I dunno.

Anyways, I suppose I should go to bed since I have to wake up in a couple hours.

I remember living with my parents too (I was late 30s) hadn't had a date for years, no job at all...

Things turned around, Josh :)

Don't let today get you down - I'm sure there are better days ahead :)

D

josh, look at that shpping list and see what you can change

Joshua: Look at it this way. Maybe that means your last good...now married friend's wife will have single friends that she can hook you up with? Where it feels like one door closes, you have to find the light peeking through the keyhole :) - just don't look through it - that's against the law and not right!!! LOL

At least there's still friends there after your drinking days!!

Trust me, though. I understand. I'm going to be 29 at the end of this year. The biological clock is starting to bang from the inside out at me. I'm single. There's not a single for real prospect...just everyone trying to get....my phone number. That's what I meant. Right. That's not what I want, of course. I'm in a crappy job (but it's steady). I only just moved out of my parents not too long ago...nothing happens all at once. It's one of the downfalls with many of us alcoholics. We want it all...now. Instant gratification. Too bad life doesn't work that way, huh? *sigh*

I'm going to the 3rd series in the Wagner "Ring" opera/drama tonight. I told you all I found something to waste my money on...which isn't what I needed right now. I really have some debt to pay off...but it's like I NEVER DO ANYTHING. Why can't I go out?! This is the internal struggle I'm dealing with. Of course...it's like...I need to live a life too in sobriety and stuff....and staying cooped up in my apartment ISN'T a life. Of course...these lovely operas are to the tune of $19 a pop. BUT, they're 4 1/2 hours of entertainment!! There's the one tonight...and the one Saturday afternoon left in the Wagner series.
The only other one in the Fathom series I saw that I am insisting on seeing which happens to be on Monday...and it's (in a grand, alto voice) "THE PHANTOM OF THE OOOOOP-ERRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" which...I...absolutely...LOVE and at one time had the ENTIRE opera memorized on the piano...and still have the entire lyrics memorized in my wittle brain.
AND, an old friend (ok, ok, an old teacher - sigh I'm such a loser) is playing tomorrow with his jazz band ensemble at a Jazz bar downtown. I'm REALLY debating going. He sent out one of those mass invites on FB. I'm like...a chance to get out and see people my own age...enjoy some jazz music which I love, probably see some old school friends which I haven't seen in forever, and maybe meet someone my own age or there abouts? Then the uncertainty creeps in. It's in a club (even if it's a jazz club). It's in a place I've never been. I don't know where I'm going. I don't know where to park. I don't know how to dress. I don't even know if I have the right clothes (I KNOW I HAVE THE RIGHT HAT THOUGH!!!! My zebra print velvet hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Then of course...going by myself?! Really? Of course, throw in is there a cover charge? I'm really broke and already spending $60 bucks on this "opera" stuff in like 5 days.

Hmph. I don't know.

I hope everyone else is doing good.

Itchy: My fail safe once again: Throw it at the wall!!!

BTW, I guess I was half asleep when I typed my message yesterday. and Dee, you now live on the other hemisphere.

:lmao
