I agree, Arbor, living in the moment makes so much sense, especially those amazing sober moments.

Great point Arbor and Leigh,

Living in the moment is something I really don't strive for enough. I constantly worry about and plan for the future. Planning is necessary for sure....but not to the degree that you're always give up your 'todays' for it.

Thinking of you, venuscat; hope to hear from you later.

Have a good weekend everyone

V, I hope today has started off on a positive note for you!

Time to call it a day here at work.

venuscat

No, unfortunately not.

I was struggling with some very big problems, and now I guess I know why it all got too much.
I have the 'flu. And I have it really badly. And I have no money for soup and meds and stuff.
Just a really really crummy time for me.

Dee74

I know you'll probably not like this suggestion but there are food banks around V.

There's no reason to go hungry - especially when you're ill

venuscat

I am not well enough to go anywhere today.
I have food, really. Soup would be good, but it's hardly the end of the world not having any. And I can gargle with warm salt water and take vitamin C. And I have some fruit tea... I know I can push through. I'm just miserable.

Thank you. ♥

Arbor

Oh no V...I'm sorry you got the flu. That can be serious. Please don't hesitate to see a doctor or a hospital if things get too much. Be smart. Hang in there. :hugs:

V, I hope this is a form of flu that doesn't last long. I've never had the flu, but hear it's wretched and I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

Arbor, I'm hoping this is a no work weekend for you fella!

I managed to squeeze in a twilight walk through the woods and field behind my house after work. Had my typical baked chicken for dinner, had a hot shower and now relaxation is number one on my agenda!

Arbor

So far so good FAD. This weekend looks to be promising with no snow. Possibly something early Monday morning but that's it. It's much needed. I need a couple days off from work to regroup.

A walk in the woods sounds fantastic. Especially at dusk. Very inspiring. I hope you enjoy your weekend too. You deserve it.

Day two down. Not as bad as yesterday when I was having such a hard time grasping what had happened. I basically just wandered around the building crying and shaking and totally confused, not a cute look. Today I felt better and was able to take in the information. Yesterday I was too confused and upset. I seriously don't remember big chunks of the past week, I remember certain things happening but can't figure out when. I was just gone. Coming out of that was really scary, and I felt very ashamed. I blew a .187 at my intake appointment. Good lord! Ridiculous!

This is it guys, I never want to start over like this again. Ever!

V I'm so sorry you're sick, the flu is awful. I hope you feel better soon.

Dee74

I'm glad things are improving Briar

venuscat

Really glad to hear that Day 2 was better Briar. ♥

SoberLeigh

You, too, Dee.

SoberLeigh

Really happy to hear that today has been better for you, Briar.

SoberLeigh

V, I am sorry that you have the flu; the flu has been dreadful around the US. Would your sister be able to bring you some soup?

venuscat

Sister no 1 is in New Zealand, and sister no 2 is in her own world.
I am watching a movie, and trying to calm down.
I talked about this on another thread ~ I am in a terrible panic over money.
Scared out of my mind to be honest.
But I'm sick. I need to get better to make the rest better.

I am drinking herbal tea right now.
I will make eggs later....they are really good protein.
Lucky I love them so much.

Thank you so much for caring.

SoberLeigh

Money problems can weigh so very heavily . . .

First things first - get well, v.

Dee74

I'm hoping you can work out a way through your financial hassles V
