WD - my fantasy team was a casualty of my divorce unfortunately. I just stopped caring but maybe if I'd had a decent team I would have stayed in LOL. Next year I will be back in the game. Going to need a new league to join though!

Hey kids! Just checking in...after all this time! Things have been extremely nuts and I did not even REALIZE that I wasn't "plugged in" to this site any more! So today, I actually SIGNED IN AGAIN....lol....Been in and out of town, computer crashes, computer in the shop, etc. etc. Glad to see you are all here as well! ONWARDS!

Happy belated birthday, LS! Welcome back, Trudging. Truthfully, I am feeling a little bluesy right now. My family and I went to my book club's holiday party. I was a mix of bored, antsy, awkward, etc. I keep thinking that my social life seemed much more natural and fun when I was a drinker. I know my life is better overall without alcohol but honestly, sometimes I get sick of being so responsible.

It is indeed hard to be responsible, DD...but SOMEONE has to.....right???? A lot of the times it SUCKS to be the one who HAS TO....but, I would rather have responsibility and sobriety than irresponsibility and hangovers....lol...
Our dog was just lost BY THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINER in the jungle. Spent overnight on an air mattress and am not feeling totally up to par.....BUT YAY! WE FOUND HIM THIS MORNING!

Glad you found your dog Trudging 
Hi DD - who says you need to be responsible all the time tho - you can be sober and goof off a little too.
I went out last night too - I was quiet and didn't say much but I was friendly noone seemed to mind and I had a good time.
It took me a long time to get to that point tho - I kept wanting to be someone else - I should be more gregarious, or more socially adept or whatever.
I eventually had a
epiophany - that was one of the reasons why I drank.
Truth is, I'm just me - and I'm finally ok with that. Other people seem to be too
my advice is try and relax a little. Don't care so much?

Here is a pic of my goofy dog on the way into work this morning. I have to take him to my sister's because he does not like being home alone. Thankfully she works from home and can keep an eye on him!

Yes, DD...thanks for asking....hubby and I are okay, facing the many challenges and obstacles that seem to have been blocking our path, together. As you know, these last few months have been absolutely nuts.....at times, not sure it would be possible that the light at the end of the tunnel was NOT a train. We are making it though....one foot in front of the other.....

I hope everyone is doing well.
This afternoon is our work holiday party. Unfortunately, attendance has really dropped off so it's not as much fun as it could be. Alcohol will be present, but no temptation for me. The part I do not enjoy is the gift exchange where about 50% of the gifts will be alcohol in some form.
I'm a little alarmed at how quickly Christmas seems to be approaching. Time to get busy!

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

Hi, Tobers! Anybody out there? We went to my husband's holiday party last night. I just had to laugh at how stressed I was about not drinking there the year previous. I really thought it was a BIG DEAL. Of course, I didn't drink this year and I had a wonderful time. I am constantly amazed at how many people barely drink, too. My thinking was so skewed when I was a drinker. This morning (old farts that we are), my husband and I woke up early because we had to go to the bathroom. My husband (who didn't drink either) jokingly said, "Oh, I have a headache. Ugh, I drank too much last night." We both just giggled at the absurdity we used to put ourselves through, ruining so many perfectly good days with hangovers and anxiety.
