Hi gang,

I'm not working too hard,snoozums.
I've been busy with a lot of projects both at work and home.
Seems that when I have time to visit the site,it's late and I'm on a tablet.
I mostly like to read and keep up with what's happening in all your lives.
I really have no good advice, especially with issues women face.

Personally, I put a lot of faith in God. I trust that if I try to do my part,staying sober,he will guide me in the direction that best serves me.
I find that things that seem to change for the worse often come with a remedy. Or something will happen that will correct this boat call my life through the rough waters.
Like the "one door opens,when another closes".
I suppose I never noticed it before,as I was almost always inebriated. Or perhaps it's cause I'm getting older,perhaps not all that wiser.

We recently lost our overtime for a while. At a time when our family could have used the extra money. But another opportunity opened up for a part time job with potential of doing full time with better pay and work environment.
***I will need to work on my resume and give it a shot.

*** You see, this right here would not have happened 3 years ago.
Take care everybody.

I think you are very wise Bob. Really.

Sorry about the overtime, but I believe your faith and your hard work will get you through. ♥

Hi Vcat.

Thanks for the encouragement.
We'll be fine. It will give me more time to get the yard looking good for summertime.

Thanks, Wolfie, Venus, Dee.
Well, it was coming, I had a meltdown at rehearsal. My scene partner kept saying different lines, and the director wasn't nor ever has corrected him and she wanted to do the scene again and I said what's the point and broke down. I spoke to her and the producer and explained that he keeps throwing me off cos he says different things every time. She said she's the kind of director that if someone gets the gist of the lines that's fine with her. It's a mess. A playwright writes a script and we have the privilege of interpreting those lines through the spoken word. They should be respected. I will be the one who looks like an idiot because I'll get thrown off cue. She said she would speak to my scene partner, but I don't hold out much hope for him improving. I hate the whole thing. I just want it over. I'm telling my friends to please not come. It's an embarrassment, really.

Dee, I'm so sorry to hear you fell. I hope you're ok.

I'm ok Leshar

sounds like the wrong director for what this is...it's fine if you have a troupe of actors used to improvising but it's very hard if you're not used to that.

I hope your scene partner will apply himself a little more.

I'm sorry the play is not what you thought it would be Leshar.
And I don't consider that a meltdown....you got annoyed, and spoke out.
That is a good thing...as long as you are alright.

SnoozyQ

I totally agree with Venus. I don't consider that a meltdown at all . It was frustration building up and now you have vented.
Hopefully he will get the point and adhere to the script.
I thought a play was a play , not improv!
Vent to us Leshar cos we all get it xx

Bob, you ALWAYS give me hope! I love your posts and I always manage to get a message out of them for myself.
It is so very true that when one door closes,another one opens.
I'm helping Angie clean some more of her house today.

I'm stuffed after doing the hard stuff, oven, Floors, rangehood, that hasn't been cleaned since Noah left the ark ! scrubbing, scrubbing , scrubbing.
I've been at it for 4 hours and taking a break.

She is so grateful & I really enjoy helping her after everything she has done for me.
If it weren't for her I would still be drinking.

Life is great Julyers I'm in a good place

I love you all xxx

Goodnight July 13ers! So happy to see Dee back with us. You were missed. Hope you heal quickly. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight, as will everyone else in this class especially Miss Ladybug2 who needs to check in ASAP by the way! All of you are such an inspiration for me. Completing 5 weeks sober tomorrow. It's good to be back where I belong.

Goodnight Casey.
And fantastic on 5 weeks tomorrow!

Hey Snooz

Leshar

Thanks, Snoozy, I'm so glad you're doing well.
Casey, it's so good to see you coming along.
I'm going to Toronto this evening to see Rupert Everett in a play about Oscar Wilde. Will meet two Toronto friends and the husband of one of the ladies. I hope my dark mood lifts. I just feel pretty depressed and hopeless and don't want it to be summer cos I can't hide away.
I have fluid retention in my feet and legs, pitting edema. Lots of shoes don't fit. I see my family doc on Monday and will likely have blood tests. It's never happened to me before.

Soberwolf

hope you have fun at the theatre & hope it goes well with the family Dr on Monday
Leshar

Good evening/afternoon/morning depending on where all the Julyers are

Dee74

Enjoy the play Leshar.
Hope your Dr can work out what's going on with your feet.

Can you ask them about your depression too or is that another guy?

Hiya everyone

Just as well I'm not working today, the dam wall broke on the opposite side of the Gawler River property and we are not going anywhere fast.

Luckily it seems to be at bay but impossible to drive on the dirt ( now mud ) road.

Leshar do you have any shortness of breath with the swelling or is it just the feet and no other symptoms?

Love to you all , back later xxxx

Soberwolf

Morning Julyers just had a big sunday lie in
