Good morning,
Kat, good luck with your race today. I bet you'll do great.
Freein, have fun battling the snails. I like the idea of marking them to see who comes back. Maybe you should number them, that way you'll know specifically which ones return.
Up, thanks for the early morning inspiration.
Rocks and Solitary, sorry you're not sleeping better. I know just how much that sucks.
It's 5:30 am here, and I've been awake for about 3 hours. I gave up on falling asleep again a while ago. I have a very long work day ahead of me, and getting 3 hours of sleep going into it is far less than ideal, but it will have to do. It's going to be a beautiful and warm day, and I'll be outside for all of it, so that will help.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Saturday!

Freein ,
I too like the idea of marking them, .... you may need to take a longer walk to rehome.
I used to relocate snakes, .......the poor things never have a chance against learning to fear humans around here, because their first encounter is usually sudden death.
We'd take them way , way out in the deep woods.
This cycling is starting to improve my sleep pattern ! ...thank goodness.
I've been trying to get a little circuit training beforehand for a warm up with these 15lb dumb bells. ( what I used to refer to as my girly weights) .... they're surprisingly heavier these days !!
I would say something else about calling myself a little B*tch Boy, ...but Dee said I shouldn't use that language on this board , so I won't ( anymore ) .... sorry Dee
Hopefully Kat will check in later to tell us about the race results,
Adna , I hope you survive the day , as well as you Solitary. And you both can get some good sleep later.
Glad to hear you didn't cave Mariah, .... I have full confidence you never will. I really think our actions speak so much louder than our words, so even through a tough spot , when the result is , .....we didn't drink or use , that ; by definition shows our true intent.
...if that makes sense.

Some photos from my early morning walk, def a word of advice for people here that are still struggling with the sleep thing, cause I sure am, some nights better then others now, but once it hit like 4:45 am I fully accepted the fact that I wasn't gonna sleep and just got up, got dressed, and it wasn't that bad actually. I think fighting it and like getting in a loop of anxiety over it makes everything worse for sure. Will leave you even more tired spending all those hours worrying in a way I guess, I'm very sleepy at work but not stressed, coffee really helps...but yea if any of y'all get wedged into that 3am freak out just accept it, my night was less stressful for sure

I agree ST, worrying about or struggling to get to sleep won't help and usually makes it worse. If it gets late enough I just decide I will stay up. Sometimes I just lay there or relax in a chair listening to some music, close my eyes and not think. Sometimes I fall asleep but usually don't but I give my mind and body a chance to rest.
Hope you day goes smooth.

Good Morning All - Nice pics from your morning ST - Hope you have a good day

Freein,
Usually try to curb my curiosity when it comes to the *really bizarre,* ...with concern for my inner cat, and all. But I'm curious , nonetheless !?!

Hi everyone,
Topspin, great to hear that the cycling is going so well, you're fit as a fit thing. Very inspiring, even for us skippers.
Mariah, I'm really looking forward to seeing your before and after photos of your project. You sound so energised. I really need to get more passion for my little plot. I have sown some more seeds today, and transplanted some lettuce, it's a start.
Just waiting for my OH to come home. I've made a start on dinner, with my berry fruit juice for company. I do feel good at the moment. No real cravings (other than just a passing thought).
I'm not complacent though, because I've been here before. I stopped drinking for about 7 months a few years ago then one day just threw it all away with a stupid glass of wine. It took me 4 more years to get back to this point. Lesson learnt.
Hope everyone's having a good day.
Speak later.

Topspin and UP, I try to match the bizareness with the individual situation. As you can imagine some situations call for some extreme measures. However, I've found that it's usually best to keep a safe distance from polite company while carrying these "experiments"

Love the pics ST, makes me miss the east coast this time of year. May on the east coast was always my favorite
I really liked what you said UP about having to be proud of who you are right now. Good words of wisdom to start the AM.
Sorry your sleep was bad Adna. I finally dozed off but had to get up early to take my car into the shop. Luckily they were able to fix the issue FOR FREE. Which never happens. So a not bad way to start the AM even though I'm exhausted. Zzzzz.
Hope everyone has a good day! I got invited to go swimming but the place is an hour and a half away and I can't decide if it sounds like too much or not. Decisions, decisions.
