Right now, I have 90 hours of vacation leave and 121 hours of sick leave. I'm thinking of taking the train to the beach and renting a hotel room for a night so we can just walk down to the beach and play. Just a weekend getaway for my son and myself.

I hope you get some good rest, Dee. Thank you for everything.

OldTomato

The weekend getaway plan sounds like a really nice idea Angie!

Angie247

Thank you, OldTomato. You've always been so supportive and kind. Thank you so much. I'm really excited because my son loves planes and trains.

Hope you had a good night's sleep. That weekend getaway sounds like fun.

Angie247

I'm okay. Have a great Saturday everyone.

I always wanted to put a large puzzle together so I have a 500 piece one.

Angie247

I might use up this thread this weekend. My apologies and the AV is in full force but I'm trying to ignore it. I just want to solve this puzzle.

I love jigsaw puzzles! Be careful--cats love to steal puzzle pieces and hide them. Dogs just love to chew them.

Good on you for not listening to your addiction. You really don't have to take that first drink today no matter what lies or sweet nothings that addiction is telling you. You've got this, Angie!

OldTomato

Jigsaws are a great way of keeping your mind focused on something other than drinking. Good idea Angie.

Elvis and I just had some cuddle time.. He jumped in my lap and I told him he was a pretty baby. He purred. Although, I'm taking off in two weeks so he can get his shots from the vet. I hope he won't be mad but he needs these shots to be healthy. I love my Elvis.

I spent an hour with my mom texting and on the phone because she was telling me of the restaurant that she and my dad were going to for my daddy's class reunion. I went online to get the menu because she wanted to get an idea of what they had. It meant so much to me. My mom is so very sweet as is my dad.

You don't have to apologize Angie. Feel free to ask for any help you need, we are all here to help each other. I'm glad you have elvis there to give you the love you need.

I've been napping today. I have cuddle time with Elvis, clean his box and refill his food and water bowls then I knock back out. I've had two naps today and I feel awesome.

Angie247

Elvis is in my lap now and I've promised him that I won't sleep again for a while. He's my baby too.

Angie247

I almost named Elvis "bo" but it just didn't suit him. I've been a lifelong Elvis Presley fan and for my 18th birthday/graduation present my parents and I went to Graceland. We stayed at a nearby bed and breakfast inn. It remains one of my cherished memories. My kitty just looked like an Elvis to me.

Just remember that we are here if you need help.

Angie247

Thank you, Up. I'm okay. I'm a little emotional because my parents went to my dad's class reunion. He graduated in 1958. I just wish I were there to hug both of my parents. I'm not going to use this as an excuse to drink. I'm okay.

Angie247

I would give anything to hug my mom and my dad. I won't drink over this but I just miss them so much. I'm sorry to be posting so much. I haven't counted days but my last drink was in March. I should be coming up to a month if I haven't already.

Upward2Enlightenment

You aren't posting that much.
Congratulations on one month, give or take, that's great!
