Thanks Dee!

So three for three Jen - make your own future sweetie. Advice is just a tool - you decide how to use it.

Mmmm...seven o'clock lie-ins...five o'clock get-homes...five minute drive... :D

And if I wanted to nip home for lunch I could!!!!

I've made enquiries, closing date is 5th July, and interviews 13th. No time to procrastinate! Probably a good idea considering my tendency to over-think!!

Still waiting at docs. Appt running late! Hope the kids are behaving in my absence!!

Thanks guys xxx

Good luck Jeni :)

Sounds like a good opportunity there Jeni, hopefully it works out for you. From personal experience living close to work can really improve your life is subtle and more noticable ways.

Haha!! Hope away darlin, it's free! I can tell you, they're not. I can hear the yelling from here. :D

Popping home for lunch...ah, sweet luxury. Wait, I'm going to be home too - I'll keep you company online haha!

Submit the application - it's not like you're making the decision, you've still got time to think about it right up until the end of the interview. Nothing to lose.

Hi INH and KaPuka :)

Hello back Stills.

Hey INH good to see you! Hope all is well with you.

Jeni -- I think getting a new job with less stressful hours is a GREAT idea. I had a job that called for me to get up at 4am and work until about 6pm. Constantly on the move all day long and incredibly stressful. Needless to say... this is when my drinking really got out of control. I ended up quitting that job anyway because I chose to drink instead and BOY did I drink... drank non-stop for a year after that. It took a long time for me to recover. Now sober though and with a less stressful job life is a lot better. :)

Take care everyone! Have a great day!

HELLO EVERYONE

Just checking in, glad to see you all here.

I NOTICED LAST NIGHT: that I sat and did picky, tedious work for one hour and 36 minutes exactly. Before getting sober this never would have happened. I always said that I had ADHD. Apparently I was lying. It was great to get the work done.

Also, I am procrastinating less. THIS IS GOOD. Many many good things are coming out of being sober.

Still waiting on hearing about my car, and I am still not a millionaire. These things I can accept for the time being.

If anyone needs a little hug or someone to listen please feel free to inbox me. I am better help when I am asked directly... don't go it alone :)

Hope you all have a great day.

You were right about the yelling Still. As I walked in, one of the boys was sitting under my desk screaming!!!

The Deputy Head at my current school has just handed in his notice, and I've had quite a bit of pressure put on me to apply for his position this afternoon. Non-teaching but even more stress!! I didn't like to say I was thinking of applying elsewhere.
I'm going to give this all some thought tonight!

Lovely to hear from you Jobei and missfestival.
Friday tomorrow guys..... At last. Is it just me or do the weeks get longer?!?

Funny how time works I swear that they are speeding up, like I go to bed and a month has gone by.

I am off here soon to go play some volleyball. been working on chopping down the work version of a sequoia the last two days, one swing at a time. Planning a little bit of a vacation though, I was going to go home for a week or so but while searching for flights I found a singles safari in Kenya that is only a little more expensive. I haven't decided but it is getting pretty tempting and I am looking into it more. I will let you all know what I decide. My sister is going to be disapointed but she will deal with it, I am going to be headed home somewhere around September anyway.

Have a good day all.

Friday......at last!!!
The sun is shining and I can't wait to be at home for a few days.

Love to all xxxx

Barbecue tonight. Bring it on!
xx

Have a good time Still :)

Thanks Dee, I can't wait! Time out for good behaviour :)

Or, you know, fairly good... :D

good enough? LOL

Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

IT'S 735AM and already I want to choke-a-bitch.

It's a hold-over from yesterday-- this does NOT feel like one-day-at-time, it feels like 3 days in a row. Insert ******** emotional and interpersonal problems here:___________.

Yesterday was the first time I fantasized about beer in months.

It's TOO EARLY in the day for rage. Anger is not new for me (well, still newish as a sober person) I do not know what I am going to do with this god-awful feeling. I am in no shape to figure it out, either.

Hey Festival :)

Rage can be cool - can you take it out and give it some exercise? Use it to kick all of your rubbish old clothes out of the wardrobe? Kick housework ass with it?

xx

Yes, I agree missfestival, turn that rage into something productive. Do something energetic (not that i follow my own advice there, being totally lazy!!)

Well it's Friday. Home and exhausted. Really proud of myself actually. Had a stressful day, had to present a school assembly which is my idea of hell, and I did it well without becoming too anxious. Also on the way home, I entertained the thought of rewarding myself with a drink. For about 5 mins that thought really took a grip. Friday nights were blackout nights in the not so distant past. But I kicked those thoughts into touch, yay!!
Planning an AA meeting instead!

Happy sober Friday night everyone!x

Jeni26, Well done for riding yourself of that thought.
John.
