Good morning Mayflies!
I survived my " I don't know what yesterday was.... coming out my skin moment I guess you could say. We cooked a kick !@@ dinner and ate outside. I am digging being out in the middle of nowhere that is for sure. ( well for now anyways.... I am a gadget girl, so this no service all the time nonsense is illin me LOL)
Todays agenda is nothing. We are all just going to kick back do our own thing. Pick strawberries in their woods, wild daisies, or for some, nap.
Just caught all the news about the UK.... for our friends living there it should be an interesting uncertain time right now. Just as messed up as what we are faced with--- Donald Trump could potentially be president?
OK, enuf politics.!!!
Happy Friday everyone! Make it a great day today. I am gonna sure try!

and for our foreign relations

I feel sad about the British vote now but I admit I don't really understand the consequences clearly. Sometimes it does feel like the world is going to hell in a handbasket but hasn't it always been that way? The messes are just getting bigger.
At least I might be able to get a good deal on Rowan yarn today. Any knitters out there?
As long as I'm rambling, Orange is the New Black is really good this season.
Congratulations to everyone on their success. I'm proud of you all.
I have messed up, again. I can't seem to keep it together beyond two weeks. I don't know what happens but I keep working on my coping skills. I need to be proud of me too.
Next week I'm looking into a women's group my friends counselor is starting or a friend of the counselor is starting. It might be kind of new agey and I'm not much for that. I'm going to check it out. Any company is good right now.

LW I feel ya on the coping skills. Just when I think I am fine, I have a come out of my skin anxiety attack. Good thing for meds, but I thought I was past all that.
Hang in there, I would love to find something like that to join. My family and friends just don't get the whole not drinking thing, so I am alone most of the time, and it sucks talking to myself all the time!!! ( LOL)

Good for u LW!
I try not to let myself dwell too much on the world right now...too depressing...
I cannot believe Trump is still in this race...completely unbelievable...
And I'm not sure I understand the ramifications of the UK's vote to leave the EU, either
Hubs comes home today. I'm praying for strength once booze is back in the house again...

I don't fully understand it either, other then what we will see from that is the stock market is taking a huge plunge...... So a lot of 401K will be impacted.
Interesting times we are living in. Who would ever thought Donald Trump could be our next president?????
Scary.

Something awesome from Twitter. Donald Trump posted something ignorant about Scotland being joyful over leaving the European Union and the Scots (who I proudly claim among my ancestry) let him have it. Most of the replies are unprintable on this forum, but they were vivid and hilarious.
Here's one "Scotland voted remain you incomprehensible **********."
I hope that one is okay to post.

Morning all. It's only just gone 7am here, but I've already been awake for a couple of hours. Just waiting for everyone else to wake up so we can start the weekend! I want to head out for breakfast today. Then I think we're going to go mattress shopping. Rock n roll, hey? Needs to be done, though. Sleeping in our bed is like trying to sleep on a sack of spuds. Hope everyone has a good weekend planned.
Good to see you, LW.
