Oh no V. So sorry. Take it easy now. Would a heating pad help or ice?
Going to be in the 50's this weekend so we are headed to the shore for some seafood and outlet shopping with the grandparents tomorrow. Hopefully spring is early this year and this weather keeps up!

He didn't say to ice it, so I don't know.

The boot should really help you get around.
I'm really sorry that this happened again, sweet v.

Ah ha....this was after my shower. I got water on the floor, didn't realise and the rest is history. I really feel lousy right now...very shaky.
I hope it's not as hot there today Dee.

It's fine here today V.
yeah I had one in the shower at my old place and one outside the shower. They didn't cost much.
This place is fine - non slip tiles and lots of handrails

Good morning all and happy Saturday.
I hope you're snoozing away V and that your little foot will mend quickly. Reading of your fall reminds me of a CE conference I attended some years ago. I slipped in just as the crowded class was about to start and took one of the last available seats. So it turns out that seat had a faulty base which promptly broke when I sat and I went sprawling across the floor with my stuff going everywhere! Two hundred or so amused witnesses watched me humbly gather my belongings. Gotta love public humiliation!
No specific plans here (after gym)......just being outside and tinkering about in the sun I guess. But for now a bit of coffee/the patio/bird songs.
Enjoy your day at the coast Arbor....wishing you and all the gang the best day.

Loving all the new avitars!
Hey Phoebe! We all understand here. I know I do completely. I think I shared this awhile back, but it bears repeating... When I revisited my therapist before my first surgery, I told him about my ups and downs with alcohol (and food) over the last 20 years. He gave a very non-judgemental, empathetic look and said "It never works, does it?" It made it so clear to me. It was a tool I was trying to use that couldn't get the job done, like using a hammer to vaccuum, ya know? Anyways, I love ya lady! And I wish I could bring some of this Texas sunshine your way in a hurry. Be sweet to yourself and stay close to us. I miss you when you're gone.
......................................
Venus, noooooooo! I'm so, so sorry to hear that. (I even said a few choice cuss words for ya.). I hope the ice helps.
.......................................
Jr and I had a nonstop video game and nacho fest while his dad ran out to the hunting spot last night. It was a fun way to kick off the weekend. They'll both be going this evening, so I'm planning on a DIY spa night for myself. Woohoo!
.......................
Enjoy the warmer temps, Arbor!
How's the princess feeling, Briar? I hope she's better.
We've got a nest of cardinals right outside our kitchen, Mark. I'll have to try and snap a pic. I'm hoping we'll have baby birds soon.
Hello and big hugs to everyone else!

Thanks for all the support Octsober friends. I really appreciate it. I don't know why I fall again and again.
But, dusting myself off and getting back to it. Putting on my big girl panties and going to fake it til I make it. I watched a good TED talk on the psychology of doing that. It works, so she said. Positive self talk, going through the motions, and eventually your brain believes in it.
The problem with depression for me is the inertia. I'm not sad, not happy, just existing. No joy. Makes it hard to care much about doing anything. The only med that helped that part, caused me panic attacks. Took a long time to get over that, switching through a few meds for that anxiety that resulted. All those made me tired, not much different than how I feel off of them.
So, going to get out into that warm sun today and walk with the dog and maybe my daughter. Get to some chores, and will NOT drink tonight.

(((Phoebe)))
Melancholy about circumstances I don't seem to be able to change and the negative self talk that goes with that have done me in many times. Currently, when I catch my thoughts drifting in that direction I specifically say out loud that I'm not 'going there' and actively think of something positive whether a past memory, current pleasures of the day or future dreams. Easier said than done as my old habits die hard. But baby steps have been made. I guess that's my approach to 'fake it til you make it'.
Back from the gym with coffee and patio time. These birds must have lovin' on their minds. I wish y'all could here this chorus. Too spring-like here for a snowy avatar. We only have bob white quail here, but I used to really enjoy seeing the California quail like my avi when we were in Carmel valley.
No cardinals nesting yet here, but bluebirds are checking out the bird house on my fence
